In Response to Re: Keeping it simple- Road to Brazil 2014. : Many thanks Mariuz.. Brazil and South America in general has always been the place i wanted to go to and thought with the World Cup going there it would be a perfect opportunity! What ROI are you achieving at the HU Hypers.... ? I cant beat these on sky so these will be omited from my challenge. Can u PM me your stars alius please, if you dont mind? cheers. Posted by GREGHOGG
Hi Greg.
It's not a secret, my alias on stars is Alarik_25. I started at a $7 level, now playing $30. Played 3.966 games and my ROI is 4.1%. Having quite a big downswing at the moment but thats normal in hypers.
Tonight was our monthly work fun game. It's a fiver 8k chips each and usually we have about 8 runners.
It is BigmikeDBC's baby, he started it 4 months ago, and i am yet to cash lol
As our regular dealer was away, i had a go tonight as i am the most experienced player.
Live dealing is not my forte, and i have never in fact done it before, so i was very ropey. One hilarious example is when i raised from the button and got a caller in the blinds. I then dealt the flop, and in the process mucked my own cards without realising it... The table laughed somewhat as i shipped the pot to my opponant.
It's a sng where there are many people who are new to poker so it is interesting and tonight we had a girl winner, she was very happy indeed. WD Hannah!
Im too tired to play any online poker now, so its an early night for me, although if MOTD is on i might watch that as the mighty spurs managed to cling on to a vital home win...
Played a few micro sngs... 1.10 scarys/ plo dyms- GO AWAY Talon!... was up to about 25 quid total but was focussing on a stars mtt so lost the plot a bit on Sky... got 12/1900 ish for 75 dollar (1st was 1500 dollar)... at least it wasnt 11th again...
In Response to Re: Keeping it simple- Road to Brazil 2014. : HAHA Love Karl! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENWCyxOjDQk No specific target in mind yet... its way to early, but i figure im gonna need 2k at the very least, probably 3k!! Thanks mate Posted by GREGHOGG
Was going to have a game of poker but after watching this, ended up watching 2 hours worth of clips with Karl pilkington and Ricky Gervais. Thought Rickys Golden globe highlights were funny . Just watched this one about Karl with a broken fridge
Current Roll is £42.77 but i deposited £20.00 today so only £11.77 profitments. The dyms have killed me today! Gonna have to not play them until i learn how to fold again.
Just one final thought... The Orange Scouser... i call him the Wotsitman, will win xfactor! You read it here first.
It has been a very strange couple of weeks... Here are a few brief highlights/lowlights in a random order. Maloney didn't win... Ooops
Last night was the Staff Christmas Party, so I am feeling a bit delicate this morning (at least i booked the day off work though), and am used to feeling a bit delicate obv... Had my first ever go on a "bucking bronko" No photo evidence i am afraid, thank god, but i lasted 7 seconds... I originally got on it in my shoes tho, and almost burst the inflatable... I got shouted at, but as it was so loud with cra ppy music I couldn't hear them...
The Arsenal Bradford game on Tuesday was a revelation. As a Spurs fan, obviously i do like to poke the odd bit of harmless fun at the gooners from time to time... But, sometimes you just think there is no point they do it to themselves!! Bradford not only outplayed an almost full strength Gooner team for periods of that game, and let's not forget that they are 61 places lower in the league... They gave it all, and put in a superb display of good old British determination and grit. Well done them, and god help Irene's (TRIP5- massive Bradford fan) heart in the semi final/final, she apparently weed a bit during the penalty shootout lol... As for the Arsenal team, they are not a team, the only one with any sort of desire was Wiltshire... things look bleak unless they appoint a new manager soon imo. So i wish Arsene Wenger all the best at keeping his job
SPT LUTON
I took a mate up from Folkestone (BigmikeDBC) for the first time, which was a bit weird as i usually attend on my own. Although, when i get to the SPT venue, I see familiar faces and start to drink/chat rubbish/laugh at people (i mean with) and have fun... Pretty sure mike felt welcome and had a good time tho.
Luton is the quickest journey, and i feel the most home in that cardroom as it's down south! Some of the locals spent the entire weekend moaning about how "bad" sky players are, but then proceeded to be constantly owned by them!!
I am proud of myself despite the results (I.e bricking the Friday night mtt and the Saturday one, but i had two solid deep runs, only not cashing due to flips at the end. Just gotta win that big flip aint ya, flopped a fd and had two overs for a nice 25bb pot in the main, if i win that pretty sure i cash, not meant to be this time... looking forward to seeing what the tour next year brings.
Although I bricked the mtts, I "kept it simple" no spazzy plays, no stupid -ev squeezes, just plain simple positional play and folding oop when i had been fishing previously!!
Online
Not gone too well tbh. Won a squaddy thing, finalled a couple of small mtts, but not been keeping track of results as i did early in the diary... have withdrawn/deposited. prob about break even. Had some near misses on stars again too, beginning to hate that site!
This happened a couple of days ago

C4p- Couldn't give a flying wildebeest!
Jesus, this is gonna be a long slog...Dunno why I involved him, but i need all the help i can get!
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY.... "BE YOURSELF, EVERYONE ELSE IS ALREADY TAKEN" (oscar wilde)
Looool!! You just sat there on a plastic donkey-thing like a plonker wondering what everyone was shouting at pmsl!! Will defo have to see if I can track down some pics.
trebled up greggers nice one question non-poker: whos better Brad Friedel or Hugo Lloris? Posted by The_Don90
Thanks Don... Both have their merits and I would feel confident with either in goal.
Brad has done nothing wrong at Spurs and although he is towards the end of his career he is still as good as ever imo. Felt a bit sorry for him that he has been dropped, through no fault of his own!
Lloris is long-term and i think it makes sense for him to be bedded in this season. The way AVB has handled it has been spot on imo.
As to who is better? I couldn't say, but obv LLoris is an amazing long-term prospect as French captain at such a young age. He has not done anything wrong yet either, so I am just happy that Spurs have not got a problem keeper wise... (like when Gomes was dropping everything!)
