Why I love poker (part 933)
There is a chap who plays on Sky Poker, & is a Community regular, who many of you know.
Mainly plays MTT's & DYM's, & plays both NLH & PLO8.
He's neither young nor old, just a normal middle aged regular guy.
Doubt he's read too many poker books, or watched Galfond as he drones on in those podcast things.
I don't know, but I'd say he was a break-even player, maybe 5% either side. Just a regular recreational I suppose.
But......
Recently, he went a bit funny. Not in the head, but how he plays the game. Suddenly, he stated mixing it up big time, & almost deliberately doing everything different to others. His hand ranges were all over the place, but - here's the key thing - he went from regular passive, to a super-duper 'Arry Aggro.
In the DYM's he's wreaked absolute carnage recently, nobody knows whether they are coming or going, he turns up with all sorts. Many thought he'd lost the plot.
He is doing the same "nonsense" in NLH too, I hear.
Yesterday, he won a satellite into last night's Main Event, & promptly won the thing, for the fat end of £1,500.
Not sure of this, but I'd say that is far & away his biggest ever win on Sky Poker.
Take a bow, Geldy.

Ahh sorry Gelders, I had not realised you had previously had even bigger wins.,
Still very nice, mind.

its a wee while since i have been on the community, been busy at work etc, how are you, i hope youve settled into your new nursing home.
I have not seen you on the TV shows , have you been sacked or is it to much for you at your age.
anyway you take care old man, and look after yourself.
Regards Colin
Seriously though: saw Rose's comment and went to check because I'd missed it... well done buddy. It's good to see one of the regular characters take it down
God bless you Colin.
No, not been sacked yet, but I'm more of sub on the bench these days, 2 Shows per month. It's an age thing I guess, but I can't complain, I've had a good run. I'm back on the Show on October 16th & 28th, both of which are "Betting Preview" Shows. I KNOW you'll be watching.
Saw a photo of you the other day, that bikini really suits you.

you take care old man, i will be watching, as your shows always make me laugh..
take care TK
COLIN
I'm not entirely sure how to take that.....;)
Hope to see you soon bud. Your appearance at the Sky Poker 6-Max UKPC was "fleeting", to say the least!
