Not gonna go all Evilpingu but just had an absurd interaction with CC. I appreciate they don't have it easy, and probably have do deal with numbskulls at all hours. Having to bite your tongue when people push you can't be much fun either. However, very disappointed with what just took place. Over such a trivial amount of money as well but beside the point.

I don't often play on Stars, the odd dabble every now and then and that's it. Still licking my wounds from the last time I played on there.....will refresh people's memories for those that don't know Was down to the final 12 in the Bigger $22. It started at 5pm, it was now 3 on Monday morning. I was going ok, about 9/12 but with a reasonable stack of 30 bigs or so. There were still some big names in including Jack Ellwood and Ben Jones, but I didn't feel particularly out of my depth or comfort zone. An aggro guy raises the cut off, I peel the SB with 88 and the BB comes along as well. I flop the set on an 8 Q Jcc board, happy days! GII there and then vs Mr aggro who has KK with the Kc....then stars proceeds to kick me in the nuts by giving him runner runner clubs for the flush. That was for a top 3 stack, and there was $19,500 for the win. Instead I was out in 12th for $750. Of course I'm not saying I'd have binked, but I'd have been well placed for a damn good go at it. I railed for the few minutes following my exit and another 2 bust pretty quickly to set up the FT, where 9th was $1000 and the jumps pretty juicy for a low stakes donk like me. Wasn't meant to be, and it still preys on my mind, sigh. Just seen that Stars have announced a special tournament extravaganza to lead up to their billionth MTT, which is a $109 $2m guaranteed jobby. Will happily put on record now that I'll take 12th in that tourney! Posted by hhyftrftdr
guess you and everyone else on the planet except me will be paying their 9th birthday extravaganza
Sky often come in for criticism. Occasionally its justified, like the PS4 fiasco. I really hope jac35 is still waiting for his though Usually though, it's just people being ridiculously over the top or losing perspective, or complaining for the sake of complaining. Look at the number of people who moan about freerolls ffs. One good thing that Sky poker does.....they don't harass me at all hours! Yes I get the odd text every now and then which is fine.....which leads me on to Titan poker. I signed up with them a while back. They had a very misleading sign up 'offer', that wasn't only why I joined, though it was supposed to sweeten the deal. What they did have was a couple of good looking Sunday tournaments with chunky gtd's, and I wanted to give them a bash. So deposited the necessary amount (about £120 I think it was), and proceeded to bust them. No bother. I didn't boot up Titan poker for the foreseeable after that, obviously content on Sky. Little did I know that I would soon be called night and day by them regarding my lack of action on the site. They'd phone me whilst on my lunch at work, at the crack of dawn, in the evening when most people are heading to bed. Maybe I'm ungrateful but I didn't appreciate being rung on my mobile at 10pm regarding the next time I put some money down I'd get extra %. So because of this, I've only played on Titan maybe 3/4 times in the 6 months or so I've been on there. Alas, I have to play on there tonight. They are running a sat for the Madchester open, which commences in a few days. I have a new debit card (rip old debit card lost in Bangkok), so had to register its details first. This led to the live help chat box popping up every few seconds asking if I needed help. Sigh. It's like they watch you like a hawk when you click the 'deposit' option. I just ignored the guy (perhaps I should have said ''I'm fine thanks'' or w/e but meh) to the point where he was frantically asking if I could see his messages. Pathetic. Fair enough, some new people might need assistance, but it's very off putting and also slightly patronising to the majority I'd imagine. I think this might be my last stint on Titan poker! And sometimes we forget how good we have it here, when you look at the bigger picture. Thanks for not continually belling me Posted by hhyftrftdr
Looking at heading to LV again next year. British Airways currently have a sale on on their 'luxury' product. Flying from London? Forget it. Flying from Dublin? Now we are talking. Can get a business class Dub-LV return for around £1100 on select dates next year, including decent summer availability. Or add on a hotel for more savings.....those business class flights, plus a week in New York New York, Luxor or Monte Carlo, and the resort fee paid, is around £1300 each based on 2 people. A win in the Turbo is usually kicking around the £1300 mark......meant to be If anyone wants the details by the way just give me a yell on here. Posted by hhyftrftdr
