It's the four PLO8 tournaments starting from 1950 to 2120
Best results from any 2 from 4 count towards the league thingy.
Not that you will play anyway, as you're scared of being bullied by myself and Amerie.
She worked hard at her game with Neil C on BBP, & got herself a Black Belt or somesuch, & I assume she has reactivated on Sky Poker since Neil joined us.
Nice lady, but I ain't scared by any girlies, except when they ogle me.
I guess spending Tues evening getting down with the kids with his x-factor & celebrity nonsense on Tuesday evening's show was so embarrassing to him looking back on it that he decided it didn't happen and re-lived Tuesday again last night.
and yes, just like the 1-day cricket these days, the champions league matches are held on two days.
Incred about your Bro. Probably the only famous person ever from Lancashire.
You settling back nicely into the DYM's?

Slight clarification needed on those numbers.
I actually LOST around £20 on my DYM's last night, mainly due to a bad batch of £11ers.
But I won £40 odd quid playing 2 MTT's, so the numbers show a profit, even though I lost at the DYM's.
I use my opening & closing balance as the final arbiter on numbers, so there can be no jiggery pokery, but clearly, that is a bit misleading, & it will flatter my DYM results. Not a big deal in the greater scheme of things, but thought I'd better fess up.
Anyway, I wanted to support the new PLO8 MTT night that Brian & Dave organised, so I played 2 of them. It totally phased my head, as we play DYM's very different to MTT's, & I was not terribly comfortable with mixing the two.
Not a terrible night at the DYM's, but some standatd outdraws in the £11ers knocked the numbers badly, as I lost 3 from 4. Otherwise, OK, & the £3ers are going along better now. Just as well. Overall though, all the win %'s are below target, but the £11ers are keeping me afloat. Need to do a lot better though.
In the 2 MTT's, I bust out of the first within 2 orbits I think, in one hand, the only hand I played.
Chap had been potting it pre every hand, so I devised my strategy - wait for a monster, & go to war with him. I found nice combo aces, he found a nice combo hand (A-Q-5-3 I think), we got it all-in pre, but he hit paired fives on the board & busted me. Ouchio. Maybe I could have waited a while before going to war, maybe it was the right move to get me a stack, I'm not really sure. If it weas a big buy-in event, I fancy I'd have proceeded more cautiously. Anyway, I was first out, marv. I prefer my play to his in Level One, but he did nothing wrong either, & if the cards were face-up pre, I'd still have gone to war.
In the other one, I ran golden throughout, & eventually took it down. I doubled up early, (same move really), then decided to pace myself, nice & steady, before really going through the aggro gears late on. I barely recall losing a single hand all Tourney, & probably got lucky several times, including the last hand when, of all things, I woke up with good aces to beat my old mate Frank Cormach, with Vespa Mick an unlucky third.
So, some run bad, some run good, those swings & swongs are what poker is about.
Ger took a real eye-watering beat to exit, flopping the stone cold nuts with a heart flush, but being runner-runnered perfect perfect to depart.
Never saw much of Macacgirl, except late on, when she arrived in the chatbox to deliberately irritate me. She also stated "I'll burn my laptop, i-Pad & i-Phone of tikay wins this".
So I did.
Over to Macac.
Made me laugh out loud!
Sky must show this on 861 !!!

Very odd that yours never appeared. As far as Sky Poker are concerned, it is just a regular Tourney, & your winnings should have ben auto-credited to you.
I'd check again to make sure you have not missed it, & then ring CC & see what they say.

Just a short, unscheduled session on Friday, & did not play yesterday.
Made a fiver, so can't complain, but I just can't seem to get a run going in the £5.50ers & the month's returns are sub-par. Luckily, the £3ers are going a lot better now. It's really quite hard to get all three chiming at the same time.
I start a run of playing 10 of the next 11 nights tonight, so I need to get my act together & play a bit better if the month is to be profitable. At present I have just £20 profit, & I expect to make £45 in Reward Points, so I have a bit of a cushion, but £100 overall profit in December has to be the minimum target.
Undecided whether to play tonight's FSOP Hi-Lo. It really messed with my focus playing MTT's & DYM's together on Thursday, but I did enjoy the MTT's, & it gave me a nice profit, which I really was in need of.
Decisions, decisions.
Have a lovely Sunday.
This was hilarious....at first....until on 2nd viewing I noticed how rather feminine and frankly quite hot their bodies are in some scenes, Parts are definitely wobbling where they shouldn't be and I find myself rather nauseas, confused and in need of counselling.
Whereabouts in corfu should I send the bill and solicitors letter regarding damages?

Ha!
Was £40 up & heading for a great day, counting my winnings already, then somehow managed to lose NINE of the last TEN games.
The £1,500 barrier is proving as difficult to reach as £1,400 was. Think I spent a month trying to get past £1,400.

Better.
Managed to won on the night, but it all hung on the last game of the session, an £11er.
The Chippie had 6,500, two stacks each had approx 2,250 each, & I was hanging in with 1,000. It was VERY satisfying to win that one, though it had less to do with my "skills" than how the others played. A very odd game indeed, & I was very fortunate to escape with the win.
Overall, last night saw some of the most inexplicable play I've ever seen in these things, it was eye-watering, but fun to play against.
In one £11er, I got it all in pre on the vey first hand with you know what, really good ones, too, & got accommodated by K-9-7-7 which hit a straight. I suppose I don't NEED to go to war very first hand, as the outdraw is very possible, & I could just fold. Then again, if I could have that match-up every day, every hand, I'd take it, & I'd soon be a very rich man indeed.
Crept over £1,500 for the first time, BOOMIO, but on past experience, I'll creep back under it again tonight.
The games were very slow at first last night, but eventually I got 6 games @ £11, & 9 @ £5.50, which is pretty good for a Monday, (yup, deffo a Monday....) especially as MNF was on.
See you guys tonight.
Whether the Forum will be fixed by then is another matter, so maybe nobody will be able to read this......
For the record, whilst the Community was "down", or apparently so, I could access some of the busier threads by clicking "BLOGS", & on there, some threads are listed on the left hand sidebar. By clicking those, I found the magic, secret, door to the Forum.
"Hotwheals" returned to the £11 PLO8 DYM's last night after a lengthy absence, & promptly won all 5 games @ £11, which takes a bit of doing I'd say.
He has such a great game, everything he does makes sense, & is technically correct. I doubt many PLO8 players on Sky Poker are as profitable as he is, & certainly, from what I've seen, nonr play the game so well. His strategy is so, so, simple, but so so good. Essentially, it's all about starting hand ranges, & he has them completely sussed. Play good starting hands &, over time, you'lll win, play bad starting hands & eventually you'll knock it all in, it's that simple.
Anyway, I welcomed him back, & he told me had had been very unwell lately - firstly he had a heart attack, & then a cancer scare (test results awaited). You probably know that his alias is because he has a wheelchair, or so I understand.
Just wanted to say, if he is reading this, very best of luck with those tests, & hope all is soon well again.
Top, top, bloke.
Was short stacked on the button, 4 left, folded to me , i shoved and got looked up by the BB (who didn't have that many more chips than me).
He had the monster hand..........K844r
Ended in a chop as he rivered a 4 for the hi.
Strange!!
We should be pleased at these plays though.
4 handed in one last night, I had 2 Bigs, & was in the BB next hand. Then the 2 big stacks went to war, & one got busted. Yikes, happy days!
Go figure.
It's got nothing to do with poker knowledge, it's just common-sense.
Expect this from 85% of the player base and you'll be on track!
Any ace
Any pair
Any 4 lo cards
Any 4 high cards
Any 2 lo with any 2 hi
The sooner people start playing brilliant hands like 8833 the sooner the standard will improve.
The tournaments are amazing, hand selection is out the window! So much fun. You see the same players either taking them down or busting first.
I played the £100 guaranteed yesterday. Played properly! That was a challenge in itself. We get close to the bubble, I pot it with a good hand. It's obv I'm then commited. My eyes nearly fell out when I saw what someone come over the top with, for their tournament life.
9853.
It's obviously ranked higher than the mighty 8833 as they scooped the lot.
