In Response to Re: Ramblings of an old man : Thanks Dohhhh Really? that confident? Not sure, I hope so. It'll be a bit frustrating if I don't make it as I can't play any Dyms for the rest of the month now I've just played the speed rebuy tonight, no good ... Disappointed the thread I started regarding Spt's has been moved to a distant part of the forum. ... Billy Davied sacked. That's a shame! It must really hurt that it was following losing to the Mighty Rams as well. Poor little mercenary. Posted by Jac35
Hi Paul,
Yes, I can understand why you would feel that.
It's been sent upstairs, though. I can't really add to Tighty's reply, at the moment, & I feel bad that I can't say more right now, as I like to think we are mates. The clash between mates & business is an awkward line.

Hi Tikay
Thought you'd joined Geldy in abandoning this thread.
Understandable really. I do appear to be more of a grumbling old man rather than a rambling old man these days. Can I get away with saying I'm a bit more tired?
in truth, I didn't really understand why the thread was moved. Cynically, I guessed that it was because it would get less exposure over there.
I do realise though that i'm only looking at it from a personal point of view regarding the Spt's.I am no expert on what is the best way to go for Sky.
I think that a little bit more information would be good regarding plans for this year. I believe that there are plenty of forum regs who are really keen to find out the pkans.

Abandoned this thread? No way! I read it every day. I just have so much on my plate right now. Exciting stuff, too, but not enough hours in the day. I wear a lot of hats, & spin a lot of plates.
I can't really comment on why the thread was moved, as I don't know, but I suggest it was moved to the right board, rather then the reasons you understandably suspect. It is awkward, for all manner of reasons.
It might seem that nothing is happening, but thats not true. LOTS going off at Sky Poker right now as to various future initiatives. Think of the duck, serenely floating along the river, with no visible signs of propulsion, but under the water, his ickle-lickle legs are going 13 to the dozen. In the areas you were discussing, a LOT is being discussed & formulated right now. Whatever is decided, it won't please everyone, nothing ever will, but as the Business grows, it needs to constantly re-evaluate everything.
Personally, I would also love that more info was made known, but the Business has to balance it's plans, priorities, & information dissemenation with great care.
When we did UKPC, I would LOVE to have blogged all the ins & outs, behind the scenes, everything, & in fact I kept a private log & diary of the whole 18 month story. But these sort of things can't ever be published, really, as they involve all sorts of delicate & discrete convos, agreements, disagreements, plans, da de da.
Family are good thanks. Slightly concerned the other day that Harry could be a bit ginger. Penny didn't appreciate my comments that he would have to be sent back. Been given the okay to do a skydive in a couple of months. Seemed a good idea at the time. Pass out to go to Dtd tomorrow night. Only 2nd live outing of the year. Annual leave next week. Very happy about that Thinking of growing a pair as they say and playing the roller on Sunday Posted by Jac35
skydiving eh? nothing like starting a family to instill a little responsibility into one's life.
I suppose if you aren't going to be able to send Harry back then maybe removing yourself from the equation is the next best thing. (joking, obv). but seriously surprised you were given the ok for that. most new mums have an aversion to the father playing russian roulette.
Skydives are awesome. I did mine in Cairns over the Great Barrier Reef (thin brag), was a great experience and something I'd love to do again. Bungee jumps are less awesome however....
If you're gonna play a Roller, this is the one. Wasn't it around 9k up top last time? Think I'm gonna chuck good BRM out the window and buy into it. Gotta be in it to win it and all that.
Not wanting to divert the thread back to football or anything, but I did see your manager in my workplace yesterday. Suffice to say, his hair is just as ridiculous in real life as it is on the telly. When he asked if he could pay downstairs, I resisted the urge to put on a fake Dutch accent. I'm nice like that.
1 - Leave our Steve alone. That haircut is very fashionable in Derby right now. In fact, if Harry does go down this unfortunate ginger route, I may well give him the 'Mac' style.
2 - Bah Great Barrier Reef. I got me the choice of Langar airfield in Nottingham or Honiton in Devon.
Not actually sure which to go for.
Langar, next month, close to home, few friends will come and gawk. Jump from 13,000
Honiton, I'm there on holiday in the summer. Better chance with the weather. From 15,000. Downside, will need to spend the day there, pretty boring for Penny.

Advanced sng strategy guide part 2 coming later.

Roller quandary.
Play sats, get in cheap
Play sats, get nowhere, tilt buy in direct and end up paying say £180 for tourney.
Geldy Obv really England got rid of the finest Manager in all of the world. Mighty Mac! World Cup would have been a doddle with him in charge. And if only Conor Sammon was English Just for you as well. Coming soon, Jacs alternate strategy guide to 6max Sng's, (WITH PICS) Will be concentrating mainly on table position. Will be one for the purists. A sneak preview for you all The cut-off Much fun can be had playing from this position ...... Played 2 comps tonight, was a bit bored £2 rebuy, was a dunce and missed the addon Came 4th. Pretty decent considering I chopped AA v AQ, lost 10's v Ace 7 and bust QQ v KJ. All in preflop in each case £11Bh Bubbled, grrr. 3 bet all in with AK and got called by KJ. Apologies to RedArrows. I childishly tapped in 'nice call' in the chatbox. Let myself down a bit there. Just a bit frustrating when you bubble but regardless, stupid comment from me. Someone else wrote 'bubbleboy' to which I replied 'ta for that, didn't realise'. I think I'm ok in not apologising for that one ....... Some decent advice folks. Thanks for that. Yep, think you've confirmed for me that it will be right to wait it out and see where I am after the weekend. Dyms also look like a bad idea. If I have to play it will be the 6-max and i'll just see if my usual shove and hope tactics work their usual magic. Posted by Jac35
Prolly worst heads up player in the whole wide world. Rivered a tossy 2 pair. He had slightly less tossy 2 pair.
£5.50 profit though! .... Good and bad evening
4th in speed rebuy 1st would have been £111 and so would have used that to buy in directly to roller
As you might have gathered from the above grumble, I didn't win a seat in the sat.
I made a little profit on the night though and so shouldn't complain. £35 or so. Also, took a deep breath and played a sit and go. Usual kind of stuff for me in sngs/dyms. Was all in a lot and won flips ☺ Up to 68% now. Pretty convinced that 70%+ will be needed
Not the best start to my 2nd live outing of the year. Took my seat at 8.30. 1st reload 8.36! Great tourney. £25 buy in. Reload at any time regardless of chip stack during the reload period. Up to 2 reloads. £10,00 gtd 160 runners at present Edit Live poker is tough. Played 2 hands. Flopped flush beat me up 1st time. 2nd time. He only had Aces. Final reload may be on way urgh Posted by Jac35

Anyway, enough of that. How is the family?
