Bust the £11 after never getting a hand. I think thats the 5th one from 5 played and lost in 101 games. Deffo where the standard steps up a bit. Posted by jimb0d1
Tikay you will be proud of me, I just called Maca's all in. She had AA2Q, I had a complete set of spanners and hit 2 pair to win. Sorry Twiglet lady! Posted by Enut
absolutely disgusting, the day anyone ever catches me playing a rubbish starting hand, is the day hell freezes over!
ps. edited to say just broke my record, 18th straight pot raises called!

Good work Tuney, proud of you.
I mean, to be fair, she has NO RIGHT, no right at all, to turn up with a proper hand. Bang out of order & most unsporting that.
I know! your all wondering, where's team aj. Don't worry I haven't done a runner, just thought I'd get another 10 games under my belt before posting any more results.
Ok, so my last 10 games ..won 5 ..lost 5 not to happy about it, because 3 of my losses were down to bad strategy I was table captain, no need to get involved, but I did. It all boils down to bad discipline on my part.
So for my next 10 games I am going to TRY (my hardest) and focus 100% on every game. Cue bad beats, variance, and wifey shouting into the rom "are you playing that bloody poker again.
oh ,oh, forgot to put in my last post I've hit my 3 in a row wins (on the verge of being a pro)
So that's it for now Played 40 .. won 17 ...lost. 23.. not to bad is it only down 23 out of 100 games lost

Glad it's not just me then. My other half absolutely hates it. She was convinced I was going to gamble away the house and everything else when I started playing! I still get grief now after 7 years of playing and having my own separate poker bankroll that is quite healthy. If I run deep in a tourney I get moaned at and banned from playing for a couple of days. Women eh!
Funny thing is she can sit there for hours playing Candy Crush Donky Kong or whatever it is!
I've just seen an interesting chat box comment, well I found it interesting! So, i'm on BB, SB min raises it, I'm holding AA58 so pot it. They all end up in the middle, SB turns over A479. Quite obviously, he flops a wheel so I'm dead and gone, that isn't my point, but afterwards I was busy so didn't have time to close down the table, so I saw the comments he typed. "Always love to see AA" "A good Holdem hand"
So, an open question for opinions please. Why do so many people say in the chat box that AA (with a couple of lo cards) is a bad hand? I've seen it said so many times I don't understand it. I'd hazard a guess that any online odds calculator would probably agree with me, but why is there this opinion out there amongst so many, that AA (+2 lo) is bad?
I find it's more of a common saying in Omaha than Omaha High Low, when they may have more of a point in that AA is only one hand and in Omaha you are effectively playing 6 hands pre flop and all are playing high only.
In High Low with a couple of low cards it is a monster, even Tikay will play it! The comments show your opponents lack of understanding and shouldn't be taken as any criticism of your play.
The only hand that would rank on a par with AA and 2 low cards is 8833, but then even novices know that.

Oh yeah, I agree with you on all counts, but it's the opinion of so many in this, PLO8, that AA +2 lo is bad. That's what I don't understand. That opinion.

There were plenty of lads on site who will play an £11er though, Eon, Duty Free, Trevil, Whizzy, Tuney. You'll not need to wait long.
Good luck!

You did a good job there.
Session # 4
Games played 10, as follows....
£3.30, P7, W6, L1
£5.50, P2, W2, L0
£11.00, P1, W0, L1
= Played 10, Won 8
TOTAL TO DATE
P35, W25, L10 = 71%.
Proper Patent Pending Plopper Predict-O-Meter.
Worst possible outcome is 25% of games won
Best possible outcome is 90% of games won
SO I predict I will win between 25% & 90% of my 100 games.
Actual current Predict-O-Meter reading is....
25%--------90%
P10 W5 L5
"TOTAL TO DATE
P35, W25, L10 = 71%."
I'm having none of that!
If TK ends up in the top 3 of this I am going to blow up the internet
11/26, 42%
lost one by default....went out, forgot to de-reg
I know! your all wondering, where's team aj.
