Your Studies are of paramount Importance, but because you are a bit stressed out mate, you SHOULD be allowed to unwind with something you enjoy. It Is YOU and not your Mum that will suffer long term.
I am stressed myself today, waiting in all day for a washing machine that should have been delivered before midday. Half-Three, no sign as yet, but I have had a hoot on the threads all day and can`t believe the time. May need to lose the rag shortly though.
Try not to worry about your personal stuff Spike. Life is too short and there are way too many threads to read. You are obviously intelligent and you do not come across as big-headed either.
On the other hand that Humpty-Dumpty.....
No wonder all the Kings Horses and all the Kings Men had a chew-on
Me Julee was worried about me playing at first, most people do think it's just gambling, but now she gets champagne and shoe's out of it every now then, she thinks it's a floppin marvellous idea!!---She even tells her Mum all about it. Poker is fast becoming an acceptable way of gaining a second income, but you have to be a consistent winner---sound bankroll management is the key here.
I would recommend playing the 2.20 deep stacks to build a roll, you get 2 or 3 hours of enjoyment for 2 quid, and a good solid game of poker will win in these, once you have a roll, try the 5.50 at 8.15--great game, and usually 100 quids for the winner---you can learn a solid game in these deepies, and once you have bought your Mum that pair of shoe's she was looking at, you'll get no more grief mate--you see!--gl mate--floppa whoppa
LIFE IS ABOUT OPINIONS, USE AS MANY AS YOU CAN BEFORE MAKING YOUR FINAL DECISION ABOUT YOU CHOICE,
THE BEING ADDICTED BIT IMO ISNT CORRECT IF YOUR TAKING TIME TO THINK ABOUT IT AND NOT LOOSING MONEY.
AS A PARENT AND STEPPARENT MYSELF WE CAN USE THE TERM ADDICTED ABOUT MOST THINGS TV,SLEEPING,ALCOHOL,MOBILE PHONE OR FACEBOOK.
YOUR MUM SAYING POKER HAS JUST GOT YOU ON EDGE BECAUSE BEING A GAMBELING ADDICT AS SHE SEES IT MAY BE A SCARY THING TO HER. IMO SHES MORE WORRIED ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF TIME YOUR SPENDING PLAYING
AS OTHERS HAVE SAID IN THIS POST EVERYONE NEEDS AN ESCAPE YOURS IS POKER.
With one notable exception, what a terrific Thread, with everyone dispensing what they consider to be good advice, & really trying to steer Spike in the right direction.
Spike - you've latched onto a good bunch of guys here. We've got our share of trolls & aggro-merchants, but there is a strength in depth of decent, well-meaning people, too.
Stay close, YBA.
As for the immediate future on sky poker I am taking a half break only gonna be playing low buy in tournaments to get through this rough period and going for the velocity later tonight hoping to satellite in. if not well possible a low stake bounty tournament and perhaps some DYM so if anyone wants a game in the low levels lol, ok that rules some of ya out lol, well I will be there and will be enjoying my poker once again.
Main thing is I will be taking it easy not spending too much to build my game back up, as for the offer steve I will hold you to that mate. Plan is to be more active on the forums as well once my coursework is all out the way (tuesday) lol, as I know where most of my holes are and most just need a tune up but if there is something that is really going wrong I will sure to contact you mate.
Also those who know about my MYP I did couple of weeks back, well plan is to have them running weekly at least from next week, give us all some plays to consider on days other than master cash.
good luck on the tables all, unless your playing me of course
Oh and as a Team Tikay member its saddens me to say I wont be in this weeks TKO event as unfortunately I have a bowls match I cant get out of lol.

See you all later.
Thanks again all
It is a bit nervewracking though when a Mother calls you and Raises All-In. :@)
To check-raise your Mum, an earlier plan could see if she gets the funny side of....
GOING
COULD EQUAL
As to the Community here, & the "one exception", ignore it, be the bigger man.
Now go buy your Mum a little bunch of flowers, & give your g/f something, too.
That should ensure you have a great weekend.
Might see some of you later
As for this MTT its just my little release from cash for a night and a cheap little game as it was only a pound lol just so I can have a relaxation tonight before thinking about raising my bankroll a bit more perhaps tomorrow perhaps not even til sunday or monday.
Oh as for your post again it made me laugh lol it was a lighter touch on a what can was a more darker discussion lol
To clarify - it was not yours.
I love your posts 'scotty' .. however I havent a clue what this thread is all about ... and after 3 large malt whisky's I dont care either !!
And after that much whiskey I doubt many of us would care lol although I am a proven lightweight these days, practically stopped drinking like 8/9 months ago and now I can't handle it at all, never been a real drinker anyways lol.
I highlighted your post that i thought was harsh on your part imo
Is there anyone in the forum that you don't want to have an argument with? (apart from Deadluck)
Top Man spike .... well all have our down moments at this game .. when I get bad - beats or walk into AA .. I just say nh wp gg glk al and pour another drink .. it numbs the pain .. then there's no need to abuse anyone .. you can just go peacefully off to bed knowing in my dreams the wsop will be there with all the TV and microphone stuck in my face and some
lady in suspenders will be beckoning me .....then I'll wake up and go .. uggghhhhhhhh
so whats your problem with me eh? come on just tell me straight. you not see what that muppet charly sumin wrote on the 1st page of this thread??
This is a very good point and as a result i shall support you fully in the future and one day hope to be a good player
its in big writing and only about 6 words long ends with ........ if i remember rightly lol but didn't take much notice lol as for yours though blackfish I don't know why everyone is pointing yours out it was just a saying not so much an insulting post and as it turned out was only sarcasm, which I must say I didn't notice first time round but I didn't see it as insulting or the 'one exception' at all.
anyways been nice to catch up on the forums today might still be on for a little bit yet anyone wants to chat well I will keep checking this or just pm me lol
all the best buddy x
