Posted by Dazler

Hi ya DAD, how you doing?

Funny I was only thinking about how many players that were here 2 years ago, that aren't here now, only yesterday in fact.

Funny old world isn't it sometimes.

You back playing mate? or just having a bit of banter  

Don't know what happened to Mike?(Woogie oogie oogie)  he just seemed to disapear.

hope he is alright, such a nice guy too.

all the best,

In Response to Re: £40 to £1,040.... dev's 2nd DYM challenge....(current b/r £84.22) : Thanks mate, especially after going 4-2 down, ha ha. I don't mind being bullied mate, just as long as I cash, that's all that matters, he he. did I lose a game last week, going out in 6th place, don't remember that.. must be a first   lol be lucky mate. I've got a day off today, got to go hospital and have a camera thingy shoved down my throat, so probably feel cr*p later, so at least it makes your day a little easier at the £1 tables, so it's not all bad news is it.

Good luck with the camera 'thingy.' Make sure you ask directions to the camera 'thingy' department.

I only play the 1.15's if someone in there who might chat a bit, in that game it happened to be you, so be honoured!

Thanks mate,

yeah, found my way there ok.

wasn't that bad, i feel asleep so didn't see or feel anything, which was great

they found a muscle valve at the bottom of the gullet which wasn't working properly, and this meant acid was releasing causing me to have chest pains, so going to give me diferent tablets which should hopefully fix it, so not too bad really.

yeah, I enjoy the odd chit chat especially at the £1 level, not exactly life or death is it.

very honoured you chose my table mate, alwaysa good challenge playing you too, ha ha.

 might be ok for a few games later, see how i feel.

run good,

dev

Ha Ha...  I did say there's no rush didn't I  

things will change at £300 mate when I hit the £3 level, as you will see.

I'm just proving the point that the £1 level is beatable to all the doubters out there, 

You seem to forget I've done this challenge before so I know exactly what to expect this time..

I'm still hopefull this will be done & dusted by xmas... 2014

easy session, early night, plenty of long nights ahead so paceing myself nicely.

Long way to go boys.

ps; not sure now about my bubble A rag aipf move.. got called bt KQ  and lost.

      trying to steal blinds. maybe it was a fold as i always go by if you don't need to play it, don't.

     anyway, i was ahead so maybe it wasn't that bad, but i could have folded.

     think it was close though.

I'll post it in poker clinic & sit & go sections.

here it is...

                 -£0.25

LOST  £0.25    B/R  £97.22    PTS  £3.92

gutted... lost my winning streak by a measly 25p  

although technically with my 70p rake back i won 45p  

when you lose with KK V QX  TO QQ LAST 2 cards, and also your internet connection goes, you just know sometimes it 'ain't going to be your night.... no matter how hard you try!!!

devonfish5

Lets talk about Freerolls you & me

this is for you fa1lacy

play them loose play them tight

you tell me which is right

go all out for the win

slow play the bubble or rush right in

I've won five not meaning to boast

I also love my beans on toast

and Sunday roast

I know you're gutted at missing the cash

maybe next time not so brash

think about where you are & what's at stake

you might even make the final break

it's a freeroll so what's the fuss

take your time & do not rush

it's a freeroll it cost you nought

still no end to the drought

it's a freeroll so please don't fret

try again & bet bet bet

it's a freeroll there's a pattern here

you came so close so very near

it's a freeroll I say again

did I say I feel your pain

it's a freeroll so lets end it here

and let me make it very clear

it cost you nothing so wipe those tears away

there's always another better luck today?

Touched, honoured and a bit choked up to be honest. I said to my wife do you wanna read a poem someone has written for me, her reply was. "Er.... not really."

HOWEVER, you don't mention I was peeved that the lobby didnt work, i thought I was playing for peanuts not 25 places from over £400. After an hour an 10 mins of seeing 'no prizes.' I thought i'll take my 60p, I didn't know I was 3 seconds from £15 minimum. I had 3k and had passed the blinds and could see 2 rotations. It was a complete shambles from Sky.

Nice to see you moving up steadily.

Got to thank you again for helping me understand BR management. 2 months ago I could never imagine enjoying playing £1 and £2 games. Now I can not imagine gambling higher stakes until a healthy buy in to BR ratio. 

So your good at poker, Paintibg and Poems! What other things begining with p are you good at? Haha
