In Response to Re: Ramblings of an old man : Cheers mate Yeah we were good today. Always a good sign when you're beating the teams around you. Pity we've got another international break now. I hate them. .... It was a big night for the Outlaws last night. Jondabar played wonderfully and took the main down. Incredibly Samantha25 won a big mtt as well. I won a Dym and Hhyftrftdr err...railed. Playing main, mini and £55b/h tonight. Lets do some wins Posted by Jac35
So I got my head down and worked my way back into the tournament. Got close to the money and then bust in 13th to the guy from the hand above. He 4xed and I had 99 4 handed and 14bigs. Think it has to go in. Still Zero flips won this week.

Ukops so far Monday £110 main bust with KQ on Q high flop when quite short stacked Wednesday £55b/h bust with set of 8's. Guy made straight on river Friday £110 main flopped top set on 9 5 2 rainbow and Chrisdbhoy hit a set of Q's on the turn and it all went in. Saturday £110 main 3bet shoved about 14bigs with 9's. Lost to Mr Bromleys AQ Saturday £55 3bet shoved 9's from 14 bigs and lost to AK. Also played the mini rebuy tonight. Lost huge flip with Rose with 10's v KQ and then bust with AK v her Q9
Reasonably happy with how I've played this week. Don't think there have been any huge mistakes with exits. Deflating week but we go again tomorrow. Hoping I might have moaned in a bink.
Well I finished my UKOPS tonight. 2 off the bubble in the £20b/h Nowhere in the £55b/h where I played really badly.
I had a run in the main. Very disappointed with myself right now. I played very solid all the way and then made a massive mistake to bust in 24th. I could give some justification for getting it all in but in truth I should never have gone broke in my exit hand. Just about every single thing I did in the hand was bad.
I 3bet KJ out of my bb to Huuuume. He's playing good and raising every button. He peeled and we saw a K high flop. I led out and he called. Alarm bells should have gone off here and checking the turn seems good now. But I led. I'd also gained the 2nd nut flush draw on turn and so it was unlikely that I was drawing dead. He put me in and I spent 10 seconds thinking what an idiot I was and then with so much in the middle I called. He had the only K hand that I could really put him on. KQ. Pretty sure he 4bets AK pre. Didn't think he would peel too many small pairs either.
Feel very stupid right now.
Big thanks to all the people who wished me luck when we were in the money. I know there's a slight chance that they were only there to watch the Moorman
But it was really appreciated.
In the end out of £605 worth of mtts I cashed for £351. So got a bit back tonight but should have done much better. Need a little break from playing. I've got a lot of respect for the guys who do it night after night all year round. I'm knackered from just one week of it.
Bit of balance needed for me. After the mini win last week and a few DYM wins I'm still up well over £1k for the month so no great need to play. Going to have to try and resist the double point DYMs this week. Think for the rest of the month I should spend a little bit of time with Penny and Harry. Also there's golf to be played and pubs to be visited.

If I was given the job of looking after the forum and SKY for a day I would change a few things.
We're lucky that we have a forum in the first place. It's good as it is but why settle for good? Lets make it better.
Firstly I would get rid of a load of stuff and clean it up a bit to make it more user friendly. Just look on the left hand side.
It was a nice idea but it hasn't worked breaking up the clinic into different sections. Just looked now and to prove the point the last post in the SNG section was 10 days ago and the one before that 30 days ago. I'd just make it 'The clinic' again and would try and encourage people to post. Cash hand of the week, Dym hand of the week, Mtt hand of the week. A bit like TOTP the best would get seats into the mini roller.

noooooo please leave these it makes me feel better about my rants, admittedly its normally the cat or the dog who get to hear the worst of it from me ......but when reading these it makes my rants at my self seem less mental....I also like some of the responses which always make me chuckle , p.s love reading your diary
Yeah I'd vote for most of that... dunno how much those with the power to change things will take notice though... probably up to Tikay to share with the 'Suits'?
Re: the freerolls, from a selfish point of view I obviously agree, but I assume they must drive additional monies to poker sites... afaik most (if not all) major sites continue to run them... there must be some CRM data that tracks how many players progress from freeroll to money/make deposits etc that shows them to be a valuable part of marketing a poker site... can't imagine they'd have been around for so long otherwise.
I'm looking forward to hopefully playing a bit tonight. The rebuys and a few dyms is the plan.
I've just played the once in the last 10 days. I did mean to have a little break after the ukops anyway but a bit of life stuff haa ensured that I've been away a little longer than intended.
I've got a bit of a buzz about playing again. When I'm just playing dyms night after night it can become a bit of a chore. Now I've had a short holiday from playing I can't wait to get stuck in again.
Weighing up playing either the roller on Sunday or playing a live rebuy.

Does need a clean up though, laughable that Sky Poker Premiership is still there.
Yeah it does need a spruce up I think.
There will be **** on earth on the forum if you binned off the freerolls though
