Paul i can genuinely say that I'm sure I will be far from alone in feeling sad if you decided to call it a day posting.
I agree with the vast majority of what you post i.e your old, grumpy and that you support a $%^$ football team.
I also agree with the fact that by stopping the SPT's sky is moving away from its "grass roots" and risks losing/alienating alot of their most loyal customers.
I also however feel that nobody can influence matters nearly as effectively from the "outside" so come back mate and dont be afraid to speak your mind. Tikay has already said that no one thinks your a trouble maker, so carry on posting and give us all your tuppence worth on what ever pops into your mind.
I for 1 will miss your posts they are always entertaining and know this the baseball ground was awful for away fans I could put something more colurfull but ill refrain lol I am going up to blackpool for a little break the weekend England play Italy in the world cup a few of the regs are up for it trev Duncan paula dale gemma dtw bandit hopefully you are too sir as I consider you a friend poker footy bevvy what more dyer want lol anyway all the best johnny
I'll always remember that hand we played at the SPT
I had aces, flop was something like 2, 78, i bet flop you called, Turn was a 9, and you re raised my turn bet. Which i called, then you bombed the river and i folded aces face up lol That's one of the only times in i have folded a hand face up lol. Then there was the hand, very early doors, where i tried to bluff a guy with trip guys, naturally he called my river bet, and i he wanted to see my cards lol I didn't know the rules whether i had to show or not or ifi could have just mucked, but my cards ended up being turned over anyway for a complete bluff haha
Newcastle was my only ever SPT, the last 1 that was held, hopefully one day they will return. It was great sharing a table with you. I remember at the time thinking wow i'm sharing a table with an SPT winner lol
It was good sharing the table with you.
With the diary, its one of the longest standing ones on here, in my time on the forum.
Defo take a break mate, and start it up when you are ready again.
Just ticking along with the poker at the moment. Not really playing a great deal.
..
Football has started again for us. With the play offs guaranteed for quite a while it's been a bit boring these last few weeks. I guess Brighton were a team we would want. We've beaten them home and away this season but in the play offs you just never know. They try and play football and I think we're better at it than them so hope we get through. Didn't want Wigan. They kicked us off the park at Derby and would gave been tough.
..
So disappointed that Liverpool messed up tonight. Particulary to rubbish Crystal Palace (I await your response Eamonn
When I was growing up they were everyone's 2nd team even though they won everything. The football they played in the 80's was wonderful to watch and so different from everyone else who pretty much just lumped it up to the big number 9.
Barnes, Rush, Molby, Beardsley etc were fabulous.

Bought some new sticks. First round I played with them I got back to single figures. I like golf again
Urgh Pretty lousy night at the tables. It happens. Looking forward to next months promos. If they go with a 'worst of the worst' at cash, I'm in with a great shout. Happy Jac from now on (probably) Posted by Jac35

Was nice knowing you Paul.
On a serious note I am now Derby's No1 fan. Come on you Rams.
Watched the semi final behind a cushion last night. Didn't play too well but who cares. Still really nervous for Sunday but we have a great chance. I watched the other semi tonight. Wigan and QPR were both pretty awful which is good. Going to play the freeroll tomorrow night for final tickets. It'd would suck if I won and a Derby don't get there!
..
Poker is in all honesty a bit dull just now. Treading water a bit at the Dyms. Periods like this are totally normal off course. During these times a Mtt bink kind of helps. No chance of that right now . I can't even remember the last time I cashed in a tourney. Again it's all normal but still frustrating. Just daft things like I got knocked out tonight when a guy limped utg. I shoved 9 bigs with AK and he snaps for half his stack with 10 7. At least it was quick he flopped a straight.
..
Now the weather is turning, golf is more appealing when I get the chance and with the World Cup coming up I think my volumes gonna drop quite a bit.
..
The boys doing really well. Started sleeping all through the night over the last couple of weeks which is brilliant.
Great to see you decided against not posting anymore. Congrats to Derby, have a great time at Wembley. On current form you have to be favourites to go up!
Great result. What are your views on pitch invasions and fans running around with flares (not the 1960s trousers) and grabbing players? Some pretty brutal scenes. Posted by bbMike
Just returned from the boozer, hammered, so forgive grammatical errors.
The pitch invasion made me feel old! I was thinking, "please don't grab one of them around the neck and injure them in some way"
Result was brilliant. Commentary was awful. Derby are decent counter attacking was all I heard. Not sure how we counter attacked whilst having total domination of possession!
MIGHTY RAMS
Now I have to try and get a ticket. Went to most games last season but didn't get a season ticket as I couldn't commit to all. Gives me no preferential rights.
Sky
If you still have any freeroll championship final tickets lying around I don't mind taking one off your hands. Promise to be nice in all my posts from now on ☺
So we're playing QPR. I think I would have preferred Wigan, they looked pretty bad. QPR have on paper got a better squad than us aren't really a team. Just wonder if some of their big name players might turn it on at Wembley. No doubt there will be the usual media love in with Rednapp. I guess it's just the opposite for our Manager. He'll have to do a lot before he regains the respect of fans/media. We love him though. I'm thinking of getting a McLaren haircut. Maybe it's a chance for him to put some Wembley demons behind him.
http://youtu.be/uB1D9wWxd2w ... Remarkably I'm came 3rd in a little tourney last night. Wonders will never cease. One of those runs for at the moment that come around every so often.

Just about to press post and a guys just limped into my bb in a dym. I had 9's and so put him in. He snapped J2. I didn't win. When will it end????????
Just a couple of the more brutal ones of the evening. The 1st hand was my last hand of the evening. Would somehow have got me to only £50 down on the night. Pity that I lost that one. Thinking about it now, I did pretty well to only lose £90. I was happy with how I played. Becomes expensive at the £22's when you have one of those nights when you can't win any flips. I've been so lucky over the last year or so that I haven't really experienced any downswings of note. Since the beginning of this month though poker has been really tough. Happens to everyone and not much point moaning about it. My confidence in my game is always a bit fragile and so I probably take it all harder than I should. Things will turn around and i'll start running good. Soon please. I got a bit lucky at cash and came of a NL30 table with around £110 and so that softened it a bit.
Just scoped this month. 99 games played at an roi of -8.2% and $290 down. For all dym games played since I began on here I'm roi of 8.9% from 8627 games. Guess it shows why we need big samples. I'd be quitting for good if this month was my standard results Today alone I was down $230. I'm the worst.
Lol just looked at post. I'm awesome at posting hands! I assume that you get the gist though
Just for a bit of balance it wasn't all bad luck last night.
Remembered that I played like a total peasant in one hand. I was loving life as the pot grew large. I snapped off the river bet. I had a straight. "Err, what's going on? Why are the chips sliding his way? He only has 2 pair. Stupid Sky software. Oh, wait a minute, I have 67 and the board is 459 2 J. Not sure after all if that qualifies as a straight. Nah, probably not. As you were dealer."
