What have I started?
Sorry Tikay, I thought this would be a Nisa way to get more people popping in here, instead its now a farce.
Edit - actually Jimi started it. Forum ban him.
Ha, & still they come, good work guys. Jac excepted, obv.
And with that, I'll sign off, as I'm off to play some poker, yay.
Seriously guys, good to see some forum fun, have a great weekend.
How are things on your holiday home? I forgot where it is, is it Camber Sands, or Canvey Island, somewhere like that?

My last night playing tonight until next Tuesday, as I'll going to be up at UKPC from tomorrow until Monday.
The games are awesome right now, with plenty of interesting new players, & some really lively games. Scary stuff, but fun.
Profit wise, had a dreadful January & February. It took me until Sunday to get back to where I was on January 1st, having dropped around £225 in the interim, so not sure if that's good or bad. In the period 1st January until Sunday just gone, my Rewards payments totalled £125, so that makes a huge difference, but it also tells me how badly I'm doing compared to last year.
Still, I'm enjoying the games immensely, it's such a relief & relaxation to sit down & play each evening with a bunch of lovely people, & at least I'm not losing any money doing so, & long term, the 'roll is still increasing, albeit very slowly.
Concentration is a big problem, especially when the Forum is "hot", as I struggle to juggle the two at the same time, & I'm deffo making a lot of unforced errors. Will have to try & address that when I get back.
All good, loving life, loving poker.
Hope it's really really cold.
Yikes, groan at the incoming bad beat stories. I get told them whilst I'm walking, eating, talking a leak, all sorts.
A chap ought to be able to eat or evacuate without being told them, but some folks can't help themselves. They mean no harm, that's the thing.
It's not the worst thing in the world, just a minor irritation, which, like a pair of tight shoes, or a dodgy mother-in-law, worsens over time. Little doses are fine.
A clear fold for me. I think, as you note at the foot of your post, it's results orientated thinking. MOST of the time the fold is correct, imo.
What a great game that was, though, some terrific play, & it was swinging & swonging in every direction, 4 handed there were 4 different chip leaders inside 2 orbits.
If I had lost that, I think I'd have been as disappointed as you were, it's perfectly natural.
When we are 4 handed, with blinds 400-800, so average stack 3.75 Bigs, it's largely a matter of being dealt the right hands & doing the right thing, & I think all 4 of us did that. The rest is down to luck.

I'd say you did exactly right. There were no "free spots", we know Chippie was raising with airballs (so you were likely to be ahead - & you were, good read), & Eon & I are never gonna attack the Chippie, we are going to attack YOU. Played it perfect, got unlucky, next case.
I feel a bit of a fraud, dispensing advice like some wise old sage who knows the game - my results at the moment are nothing like good enough.
I'm really concentrating, & thinking about my game, but results wise, I'm just treading water. My account at present is almost identical to the figure it was on January 1st. So I've played probably 1,000 games since Jan 1 & not made a penny. Pretty terrible, really.
Enjoying it more than ever though. Can't wait to start my session every day, full of hope & enthusiasm, but I just can't seem to string a run of good results together.
The magical mysteries of poker are so wonderfully perplexing.
