I've lost 7 games at the 60p level, and I am not beating the rake at the bottom 2 levels.
"RT" can be 2 things.
Re-Tweet, as in Twitter. You know, social media. Understand, Dear?
Or, & more likely, it can be one of these, which was of course the forerunner of the Routemaster.
Later, of course, they introduced the RTL, in which the "L" stood for "Long Wheelbase".
Each bus had an individual ID, as below, (above the nearside bonnet-clip) & I had an Ian Allen Bus-Spotters book in which I ticked off each one as I saw them.
I often still peruse that book in bed at night.
#Pointless #Twaddle!
Never thought I would say it, but buses seem more interesting.
Just read a brilliant chat-box comment during a wee buy-in plo8 tourney.
Vesp asked in chat-box why nobody raised during the game, the reply he got?.... 'because this isn't holdem'
BRILLIANT!
Made me smile too
Tonight's gonna be interesting :-)
we're down to last 3 in next tourney and I am not exaggerating when I say, he has limped into the last 49 hands. If I raise his limps, he calls!
he must have misclicked, he just folded.

A little update from team AJ
Played 20 .Won 13 Lost 7
A slow week poker wise for me, been working my carrot off all week to get the job finished for Thursday.
Went to Catterick on Friday to see my step son pass out for the army. (AJ breaks out with a proud grin )
With working till 7/8 o'clock every night, I have been exhausted and run down.
which is why I am typing this with full blown MAN FLU (don't lol it does exist. I've got it)
I'm hoping next week I get a bit more volume in, to try and complete this before jan
My game is improving or at least my results are.
So my quest to become Sky poker's Plo8 Champion continues
See you at the table's guy's
Regards Alan
Blinds 150/300, I'm on 40 chips (after quadrupling up on the previous hand!), another player is on 60. The other two players, in the blinds are on 7050 & 4850. They get it in with 787Q and 10Q36 on a flop of 2AK and a turn of a 9 and the player with the bigger stack scoops and us two shorties say "Thanks very much"

Astonishing how often we see this.
Just as well, too, these guys are the difference between our profit & loss.
In one DYM on Friday, one lad had 8,000 chips, with two others on 1,500 each & me on 1,000, at 200-400. Mr All The Chips insisted on limping into every hand, & ended up 4th!
Quite surprising to see an upsurge in "limp every hand" players of late. It's technically terrible, and they will all lose money over time, but even so, they make it quite tricky to play against.
There's a baffling logic to seeing Mr Limp come in, then call any raise behind him, especially with a 6 Bigs stack & big blinds. If they ever suss the "give yourself 2 ways to win" logic (i.e., raise) we are all doomed, lol.
Only playing 60p £1 at the moment where I am finding a curious mix of the type described who just want to see a flop and see if they can hit anything down the streets and decent players in for the 100 challenge. Of course the newbs blissfully dont worry too much about nuances like only have a non-nut low draw in a multiway pot, chasing flushes on paired boards etc.
Mostly of course we love having these opponents but when they run good and get chipped up and are calling down with anything it's very easy to go bust with decent starting hands that miss and could be good e.g. AA23 on a 998 board - should still be good right and you have the backdoor nut low draw - just seems there are way too many 789 combos in play than there really should be.
For the most part I now see the game being played, so that the majority, rather than the minority, will see any flop, with any four cards. It's just the way it is.
My opinion even moreso enforced after playing the four tournaments on Thursday. It's never been in my nature to
limp into pots, whether PLO8 or NLH, so I played the tournaments like that on Thursday too. Out of the four tournaments I played, have a guess how many times I raised pre-flop and everyone folded?
If you think it's more than once, you're mistaken!
To be honest, I started having fun with it though, I'd raise and say to myself, he's gonna call, he's gonna call too. Fair play to them, they did!
Case in point, little PLO8 tourney just played. It's not my imagination!
I played prime/well above average starting hands only...
Only played three hands the entire tourney (whilst it lasted!)
Hand 1, x2 on table limped, I pot raised, both called.
Hand 2, I button pot raise, x2 callers.
Hand 3, I pot raise, x2 callers. Out!
Back in the game now but with a chipped up AJ to my left.
All you/we/anyone can do is continue to play good hands and eventually they do pay off, I just simply can't understand the calls for 20/25% of a stack with hands like 3789. That's the beauty of the game though!
Good luck!
Here's a sad story. Second in chips
5 minutes later out in 8th
The shame of it, me the future plo8 champion
but I'm not sad, I didn't expect to cash I didn't expect to win
I wanted to cash I wanted to win, but my expectations weren't crushed
Onto to the next tourney(where I will crush and be victorious lol)
Regards Alan(The legend that is Team AJ )
TEST
I treated those tournies as a bit of fun, and hoped that the newbies enjoyed the game and will continue to play and progress. So no complaints, but I may have to revise my strategy for this Thursday, to survive a little longer than I did last Thursday.
