    Rather sadly, "WHAT CAN YOU DO?" has disappeared.

    Shame, it was a fun thread. I've asked Upstairs, but we can't seem to establish who removed it.

    Stop stealing post space please Tikay...


    Jac looking at your post everyone has been there just be glad your tilt only lead to a £55 mtt buyin.

    I dont mind people moaning about bad beats as long as you can look at the hand constructively "beyond" the beat to see if it was just bad luck or something that could of been done better!

    No, it wasn't that I'd played a £55 mtt, it was that I played the speed. I play the 9pm £55 fairly often and I would have been fine about entering that. I played a fair few dyms as well and think I lost every £33 I played.
    £330 down in the end which smarted a bit because I was going to pack up for the night when only £70 down.
    So a bit more tilt than just the £55 :)

    The hand that knocked me out of the 10.15 £22 just seemed bizarre but in keeping with the night. Was hoping this mtt mighht get me out of it. Just short of the money
    Bb has a decent stack. Has limped into pretty much every hand. He's just limp/called a 15 big shove with 33 and won the flip.

    I min on the button with A10 to 600. He defends as expected.
    Flop 10 9 9 rainbow 

    He open shoves approx 9k. I'm playing approx 7k.
    Assume everyone snaps?

    Maybe it disappeared in a house fire.

    It did turn into a bit of a giggle, but it seems the OP is now banned so their thread automatically goes too.

    "WHAT CAN YOU DO?". Another one to add to the list :)

    £30 rebuy at Derby tonight 
    Bust pretty horribly when I made a flush on turn and we got it all in. He rivered the full house. Just short of the money
    Cash then went well. Sat with £200 in the 50/1 and worked my way up to £300 and then got into a big pot.
    Think it's just a cold deck probably for my opponent. By the river I think I'm beating pretty much one hand only.



    There's a raise to 8 pre and a call, button makes it 26 and I find KK in the bb. I raise to 64.

    2 get out of the way and button flats 
    Flop
    J 8 4

    I lead for 43 and he makes it 100

    I shove and he tank calls

    Turn 10
    River A

    I thougt that maybe he'd tanked with AJ and I'm ready to cry
    He shows QQ :)

    Nice profit on night. Home with £325 profit on night including drinks.
    And believe me I me very drunk ;)

    Played last night and it was a bit rubbish.
    Didn't play well at all. Got very lucky early on in single rebuy where I totally butchered a hand to double up but that was about it. 
    Came 12th in the mini, just losing a standard flip there.
    One hand in the £22bh was frustrating but as the saying goes over the long run I should make money from it.
    There's a limp from a 1700 stack at 50-100. Short stack shoves 895 and I flat with aces. Limper flats and shoves on J 9 x.
    He has J 9 ;)

    This dieting thing is catching. Go on holiday end of June and I don't want to be the fat Dad. 
    I don't know how much it will help but I'll try the cutting out of lattes altogether. Have 2/3 a day on average. Seems to be working for Tikay.
    Need to stop eating rubbish at 11 at night as well. 
    Will be biking to work from now as well and so that should help. 
    Also now the weather is a bit better I'll be playing golf again 2 or 3 times a week.
    So, I'll start from tomorrow April 1st and see what I can do in just under 3 months.

    Apologies if anyone chatted to me last night. Was 10 tabling after 9pm and so couldn't really talk.
    Not a great night. Built a great stack in the main and then didn't win a single hand for an hour despite having some pretty useful cards. Made a ridiculous bluff in the end which quite rightly got snapped.
    Played a bunch of dyms and as often seems to be the case when I put volume in, it didn't go well.
    Happy enough with how I played. Just didn't flip well and had the sort of thing that can happen when stacks get shallow and blinds high
    Losing with JJ v K8 and QQ v A7 etc
    There was one peculiar hand where it was one of them where you just scratch your head. At 25/50 I had AKss in the bb. 3 limpers and I went to raise. I got in a muddle as I was playing so many tables and clicked to raise too much. I then thought that I might as well make it the lot, 2000.
    Absolutely snap called by one player. He had....8 5
    £22 Dym! What goes through their heads? :)

    Decided to try and win with 4 cards instead and played a couple of those funny little games that people rave about. Don't really know the rules but somehow won both. Think I bust an old wizard in one of them, so that was ok.

    I can almost picture the Dym regs rubbing their hands together when they read this. Just me and the boy for the weekend and so I plan on going again tonight.

    On the bright side, made 1020 points last night so this month I might actually play a bit and make priority.
    ...
    Played toss but won at golf yesterday 
    ...
    Hopefully the mighty Rams can get a result today.
    ...
    Wife has gone for a Tucson in the end. Seems quite nice

    First quarter update time and check against new year goals

    Be a good Dad - Think that's working out ok (had to miss first few overs of the cricket today as we had to see the end of Paw Patrol

    Be happy - hmmm, mostly i think

    Post less and be positive - posting a bit less and i think it's mostly positive

    Get my handicap back to 7 - N/A as yet. A few good rounds so far gives me hope

    Watch Derby in the Premier League - Er, we'll move on to the next goal i think

    Make Priority at least 6 times - Made it in Jan but not Feb or March. 2497 points so far this month sets me up well

    Play Dyms for 95% of my online poker - Fail. Had a really good start to the year at mtts and i've played a lot more than previous years. Unsuccessfully recently

    Have a £10k year - On track i'm pleased to say. £1390 up online (£90 missing on scope from freerolls). Live has been great. Played 3 comps and had a 2nd and a chop for 1st with me getting a very good deal. Won £330 at cash last time out as well and so i'm up £1295 at Derby Genting. This includes taking off my considerable expenses at the bar as well. Just under £600 in rakeback and affiliate bonuses as well.
    So, overall i'm up just shy of £3300 for the year to date.

    Very happy with that particulary as the last few weeks online haven't been great.

    I've played a little tonight. Lost my first 5 games and so when i sneaked into profit, all £19 of it 60 minutes later, i deregged everything and booked the win Dev style.

    .....

    Watched the last hour of the Vegas sat last night.
    Maxally was very unlucky sadly when he bust. Then it was down to Rose to get a forum favourite there. I really felt for her. I was in exactly the same position last year and it feels horrible. Hopefully she can get in that position again soon and get over the line.
    Some pretty vile chatbox stuff as well sadly. One of the cuprits is a regular Dym player and is exactly the same in those games. Noticed they were still chatting away tonight. Hopefully the ban will come when staff from Sky are back at work tomorrow.
