I'm sure he does realise how much they were appreciated, but I don't blame him for quitting, trolls & the like are similar to toothache, they just nag away.
suppose I need to grow a spot to get some conversation
& yes, very sad about the aussie09 trolls
He's giving useful information to a lot of people but if it doesn't interest you then fair enough you don't have to pay attention. But to actually troll someone for doing that? I've seen a lot of trolling on the web in my time for many reasons, but WTF sort of brain signals fire off to make someone attack a person for gathering that information and sharing it? It is beyond my comprehension.
I'm afraid I'm a bit funny with "foreign food". I could never go to China, or Thailand, or such places as I can''t face the food.
If I go to a Chinese Restaurant in the UK, as I am "forced to" sometimes by my young lady, I have plain boiled rice or chips & egg omelette. Thats as "foreign" as I get.
I visited St Petersburg in Russia a few years ago, I think it is, by far, the finest City in the world, bar none, (& I've travelled quite extensively in my life), & I loved it. But I could not face the food, so every single day I used to go eat at this place, on Nevsky Prospect......a KFC!
but you can still travel and eat very well these days - here is the breakdown on the 12,419 restaurants in Shanghai according to Tripadvisor, and I can assure you the quality of many of the European restaurants is very high, although I haven't tried the British ones (& don't worry, most of the ingredients in the good western restaurants are imported)
But I'm OK with American food, mostly, so there are 82 of them.
Was a grand game though, terrific. The three cashers were you, Chillie & D96NWE, well done all.
I was pretty cross with myself afterwards, but that's just hindsight really. 75% of my late stage shoves don't get a call, so mostly I get it through & don't give it a second thought, it only hurts when it goes wrong.
What annoyed me is that I have a VERY specific criteria for my "late stage shove hands", they MUST contain certain combos of cards, & that one did not, it needed everyone to fold.
PLO8 being what it is, the flop was decisive, I was drawing dead, not even a sweat, lol.
Good to see more £11 games going though, & you have helped with that, once 1 or 2 Regisrter, they soon fill, & 4 ran last night. Friday tonight, so we might get more.....
Your comments in the chat box were noted, too.
Best regards,
Donkey/Nutter.
I tend to load up with 4 £3 games and auto click new game each time the game is over, so rarely see the lobby you see.
"Donkey" (after I re-potted your UTG open - I had good aces).
"Why do I always get sat next to the table nutter"
Sigh, tikay has position on me. (You were sat to my immediate LEFT in that game).
I assumed they were all intended in good spirit, of course, though I do get some odd comments from time to time.
K-K-5-3? I don't like that hand at all, MUCH prefer a worse high & a better low, & with an Ace. But when short of chips, needs must as the devil drives & all that. I would rather shove with it than call with it, but we have to widen our ranges considerably when we are short of chip things in the DYM's. I don't recall the hand or the play, but it seems standard to me, hard to fold that with 4 Bigs.
Good to see you there, & I hope you enjoyed it, & will visit us again. I did notice you were very aggro early, & accumulated good stacks, which seemed to work nicely for you. I don't have the "game" to do that, I wish I had, you'll have to teach me, I'm so bad at aggro early doors. Late on, I'm Aggro 'Arry, of course, pushing folks around with my 3 Bigs.
No, I was never folding, at that stage, I had no option. Your play (imo) was correct, given the size of the stacks.
Glad you enjoyed the DYM's, hope to see more of you in them.
I've read his biography actually, "Last Man Standing".
He has done very well for himself, from humble beginnings in a "broken home" he studied Law, got a Degree, & held a number of senior Government positions, including Chancellor, head of the Foreign Office, & Leader of the House of Commons. In fact his real name is John Whittaker Straw. I love to see people do well for themselves against all odds.
Hope you'll be back tonight.
I've never used that "Auto-Click" thing, I might try it. I just keep checking the Lobby, and as soon as a game appears, I register. I try to work it so that I never have less than 4 or more than 6 games going at a time, & I'm not sure I could control that if I used "Auto-Click".
I sometimes, inadvertently, end up with 7 or 8 games on the go, & I'm pretty sure my win rate suffers when I do, as I only have a single screen lappie, & it all gets a bit frantic.

Better!
Think I played pretty well, held my concentration well, & probably ran pretty well, too. There is a sort of cause & effect in our minds there, we always THINK we play well when we run well I suppose, or it may even be the other way round.
Anyway, that gives the September numbers a much better look, though it is early days yet.
I play SEVEN @ £11, the most ever. In fact I quit quite early, once I had passed my daily target of 150 Reward Points, but I saw some further games ran @ £11 later. The £11 games make SUCH a difference, & fingers crossed, as the winter approaches, we'll see more of them. I reduced the number of £3 games, too, so I could give better concentration to the £11ers. Won 7/10 in the £5 games, too, which makes a nice change, I have been doing badly in those of late.
The games were very competitive last night, with some really good players on the tables, Hotwheals, JACEON, Geldy, Tuney as well as the regular hot shots.
Tuney ran perfectly AWFUL, ugh. Did nothing wrong, but just kept getting coolered. Feel really bad when this happens to folks we regard as friends, but you can't play any different because of it. Hope he runs better tonight.
Hotwheals, in the nicest possible way, is a right pain to play when he has position, which he seemed to have most times last night, as he is so aggro. Good fun though.
Think last night was the most competitive night I can recall in a while, actually.
Am back again tonight, then again Sunday & Monday, before an enforced 2 day break due to work & stuff.
See you later.
JACEON is a most interesting newcomer, very very aggro, & extremely good, which kind of suits me, as I can employ a much wider range against aggro guys, but the key thing is to isolate them heads up, & so it all tends to go in quite early.
Twice in a row last night, I had the "nut seat" v him - 2 seats to his left, with a station between us. So it would go raise from JACEON, flatted, (always), by the Station, then I could pot it & they'd both be forced to fold. Proper squeeze job. When it works....
Once I potted, JACEON is good enough to know where he is, & of course the Station can't call now. Very rare it works out that nicely. JACEON must have been pretty miffed by the station, as it was messing with his style terribly.
Sometimes, getting the "nut seat" really is part of run-good.
Great to see guys like JACEON (I assume he is a guy) becoming regulars here, & the more better players there are, the better it is, it's great to test our games against these really god players.
My last 2 games were both @ £11, so my P & L on the night could have gone either way, so it was really important that I concentrated hard in both of them.
In fact I won the last 4 games, £2 @ £11, 1 @ £5 & 1 @ £3. Lose those 4 & I make a loss on the night.
If I could win 5/7 @ £11 every night, I could retire, that'd be £200 per week, & I could sit at home every day playing poker in my jimjams. Ahh, we can but dream.....
I did not see you last night, were you playing?
To be honest, if they ran as often as the £3 games, the £11ers would be all I'd play. I can be up to all sorts of shenanigans at the £3 level and if I take a battering, it doesn't really matter to the old BR, with £11 every game, I might be tempted to play a bit more conservatively.
Might be!
I enjoyed the two £11ers I played last night, was lucky in the first, hotwheals nearly killed me off in the first when he hit his set of fours, but I somehow recovered to cash. Second game was a disaster! Twice I folded good aces post flop & turn. pretty much had to given the board each time. Finally went busto with the "shut my eyes, please don't call my pot raise, but it's not a disaster if you do hand, A246 DS" Obviously did end in a disaster. Love this game!
