Played a weird one, & on the VERY first hand, geezer busts 2 players, & trebles up. Nice.
After a few levels, it became apparent that one player was AWAY.
Go looking for them on other Tables, no sign. (It was "legassie").
So here we have one of those delicate spots. We are all in the money if legassie fails to show up, & we don't get involved with each other......
And soon, a pattern emerged. Everyone folds to the player in the SB to legassie's BB, who then pots it. You get the drift.
Makes me feel a tad uncomfortable, in truth, but the key thing was not a soul said a single word in the chat box. Once they do, of course, we are getting into the murky grey areas of collusion. But nothing was said, & we all knew what each other was thinking. I passed Aces several times, in fact.
Awkward. What would YOU do in that spot?
Anyway, legassie never showed up, & so you know how it ended.
Oddly.....
Later the same evening, it hapened AGAIN, but this time legassie was present, & another player was AWAY.
What goes round comes round, I guess.
All a bit uncomfortable, but there was no messing about, just 3 players acting, it seems to me, sensibly.
You could of course take a different view - that we owe it to the AWAY player to try & bust each other. An equally valid view.
Not a big deal I suppose, but it deffo left me feeling a bit uncomfy.
3000 points this month? Let's do oo oo it!
I had a fantastic start to the goal last night, reached 100 points without trying and the balance increased by, the absolutely outstanding, ploptastic, fifteen pence! To be fair, should have been a loss, was playing distracted and subsequently badly.
Lots of new faces playing, yeah, with lots of playing styles, it's fantastic.
Thanks Twiglet.
I only told the tale for balance to the other 2 stories, where we sort of farmed the AWAY player.
Nothing in life is ever simple, is it?
Mother's BIRTHDAY?
Wowzer, have a lovely evening.
Will try & give you a shout out on the Show.
Sorry, can't play tonight, but I'll be back tomorrow.
9-5-4-2, outrageous stuff. You never learned that from me.
Me, I'm Ace Ace baby....
You are not 65? I was being, as ever, polite.
Not from Burnley? Burnley, Blackburn, Bury, it's all the same.
See you tonight, don't be late.
I do not and would not collude and the simple fact that the muppet typed 'YOU MUST CALL' in the chat before I had acted actually meant that if I called I could have been accused of colluding with him! He was therefore partly hoist by his own petard (lovely saying - haven't a clue what it means really but seems apt).
Anyway onwards an upwards!
We shared tables with him again last night, & I felt positively uncomfortable, as I felt my plays v you, & yours v me, were being scrutinised!
I generally get a bit of stick from him when I beat him, too, "oh yeah, thats funny, you work for Sky, right" sorta thing. (Last month I earned nearly 1p per game.....).
Just lol at any of the PLO8 crew soft-playing each other, it's ridiculous. We seem to play "harder" against each other than those we don't know so well. MacacGirl spite calls me - SPITE CALLS - with absolute filth. And MOTHER has been revealed now as an at-it-merchant. But the thing is, we all play HARD v each other. That's half the fun.
And yes, saying "YOU MUST CALL" before the action is complete is bang wrong, & he knows that.
Anyway, lets hope it does not happen again.

Sichuan pepper has a unique aroma and flavour... and creates a tingly numbness in the mouth... "they produce a strange, tingling, buzzing, numbing sensation that is something like... touching the terminals of a nine-volt battery to the tongue... they appear to act on several different kinds of nerve endings at once, induce sensitivity to touch and cold in nerves that are ordinarily nonsensitive, and so perhaps cause a kind of general neurological confusion."
It's an important ingredient in Sichuan cuisine, and helpful in counteracting the impact of all the chili used.
Next time you go out for a Chinese meal make sure you order the Kung Pao chicken done the original Sichuan way including the Sichuan pepper.
Shocking. SHOCKING!
Never won at ANY level. pfft.
Ran slightly bad + play very bad + don't concentrate at all = red numbers.
No more to be said, really.
LOADS of traffic early doors, & was due to get my 150 Reward Points by 9pm, but the traffic fell off a cliff once the football started. It returned later, of course.
I trapped a guy a treat when I flopped the nut flush, I played it oh-so-slowly, & cleverly induced him to get the lot in on the river, drawing dead. Except it was me drawing dead - he had the straight flush, lol. Could not believe it when the chips went across to him. Yikes.
Great chat box atmo, & Vespa was back amongst us, happy days.
Ger got a Yellow Card, never turned up until after the football, tsk tsk.
Mother was a perfect pain.
Twiglet started a 3 hour discussion on pea fritters. Honestly, I kid you not. Then they all moved on to discussing scampi & chips. Ridiculous. Barely anyone wants to discuss "The UK's 10 favourite Motorway Junctions".
Back tonight, with no chat, I really have to concentrate better tonight.
I demand as much.
I have some wonderful topics already for debate, worthy of inclusion within Question Time.
Can dogs smile?
Monkey Nuts vs Dry Roasted Peanuts.
Why can't you get Turkey eggs in supermarkets?
Who picks up a guide dog pooh?
How old are your oldest pair of socks?
Why do Scottish people refer to a swede, as a turnip? Furthermore, what do they call a turnip?
Worst 10 motorway junctions, I could start a thread on that - in fact the very next junction down from Almondsbury might well be top of the list.
I could not chat much last night as early on I had severe connection problems, & then I had some other "Community business" to sort whilst trying to play my DYM's.

Yikes.
Thought I had booked a decent winning session, but I lost the last game of the night, an £11er, for a £20 swing the wrong way & that ruined the numbers, or seemed to. In truth, of course, whether it was the first or last game is irrelevant. A dubious play by me caused the exit, too, 2 of us were short of chips, my shove with poo was a bit premature, & I paid the bill.
The real problem - yet again - was the £5ers. Played 10, won 3. Terrible.
Anyway, I suppose I should be grateful I only lost a quid on the night, thanks largely to winning 3 from 4 @ £11.
Concentration was a major issue last night, all sorts of stuff was going off, which I needed to deal with.
I lost connection early evening, too, whilst playing 5 Tables, but managed to get back & rescue one of them, but losing 4 of the first 5 due to disconnection did not help I guess.
Need to do a lot better than this.
Paul Not The Poker Player Jackson now has a new nick.
Paul With A Pimple On His Forehead Jackson it is.
In case you missed it, I saw this on last night's Show Thread.
"...hi anna, i gave up with the jackpot updates a month ago and wrote a note on the forum thread that night. i was continally being flamed for the updates or getting abuse in the chat box (it happened again even today by a well known reg for the fourth time too). it is not worth it. regards rob

How sad is that?
It's amazing how much negativity & damage a small handful of trolls & idiots can wreak.
