Not mentioning any names but he knocked TK out of the Omaha tournament
Then went on to win it ... Well played Sir !!
The OP was in an Omaha Tourney & sharing a Table with me. (I am an Analyst, not a Presenter, btw). I was on my own Account, using my own money.
I was low-chipped, & I got my money into a monster 3 way pot needing to hit one of my two draws, & I hit, & scooped the lot, to treble up against the OP & A N Other.
I said "VUL bud, that's Omaha". The Chat Box transcript suggested the OP was not best pleased, & he posted "you are a presenter & needed to hit, & you did, yeah right, well done Sky.....".
A few minutes later, I flopped the nut straight, & the OP flopped the wrong end of the str8, & presumbly thought his hand was good, & all the money flew in. He then hit perfect-perfect to river a House, & busted me.
I said "well played, gg, & I hope you now win the lot m8". The OP said "sorry, I got lucky", I said "no sweat, "that's how Omaha works, gl m8".
I hope he won the Tourney, anyway.
Yes, very interesting wordage by the OP. I'm sorry he had to "put up" with me getting lucky, & then "smacked my aris".
The short translation is that I got lucky, then he got lucky. Just standard stuff.
I then said, "
"Oh marvelous here we go, jeez whats your problem" ?
He then said, "Grow up, FBI agent X Files, indeed" ?
He then went on to tell me he had beaten you in a hand, and went on to win the tournament ...
So then I realised, he just wanted to tell some who cares,
so I just said ,
"Oh well done ..pleased for ya, glk mate" !!
Two hands later he disappeared just as soon as he'd arrived, and then this thread appeared 10 mins later.. So there you have it ....
so mr ifff,
you are proclaiming your pro ability ,
pro what time will decide .
Thanks Benny.
It's not a problem, I have to endure such comments every night on the Table, often every time I lose a hand, because I work here, & the same goes for the other Presenters & Analysts. It's a bit galling, but it goes with the job. I do think it's a little out of line when I am playing on my own account, with my own money, in my own time, but, you know, it's not the end of the world.
It tickled me to see the terminology. "Put up with the Presenter getting lucky", & "I smacked his aris". The two hands were pretty much mirror-images of each other. I got lucky in one, he got lucky in the other. That's it, really.
A good few hours later, I was playing Omaha cash with a bunch of regulars, & Greg Hogg & I got involved. I flopped top set (A-A-A) with bad flush re-draws, he flopped top two with Nut Flush & straight redraws. In fact, my flush draw was dead, I needed the Board to pair.
He hit his flush, but the board paired, so I scooped, the Pot was about £200, & it felted Hoggers. It was a straightforward cooler - both hands were unpassable on the Flop. There were no sarcy comments, no moans or groans, we just discussed the inevitability of the hand & moved on. It's just the way Omaha works, it's a brutal game, but if you have any competenence, you never mention being unlucky in Omaha - somebody gets unlucky pretty much every hand.
hahaha heheee.. Well they would wouldn't they !! haaha hahaaaaaaaaaaaa
Nice to see you taking it so graciously though. I often dream of taking your aris to the cleaners at the tables, alas I am just not that good!
what holdem stakes do you play on cash table TK?
seriously mate, I have posted some rubbish in my time usually drunk or drunk the next day thinkin I am sober, but I`m actually just as drunk as I was the night before, and I know this coz when I actually do look back when I`m sober, I just cringe at what Ive posted.
I am cringing for you right now. I hope you were drunk.
In my defence...and my only defence....I was extremely drunk,having a good night and got carried away. I woke up the next morning and thought ' Oh God...I didn't REALLY post something did I?? I couldn't even remember what it said until I've just read it now.
My apologies to all. I am not a bad person......just a bit silly when drunk.
TK...no offence to you m8. You are an extremely gracious gentleman and I very much enjoy watch you analysing the play on the Tv channel.
I will leave you all now and never return when drunk....i hand my head in shame hopinf for forgiveness. xxx
It's forgotten ACRO, no worries. (What is?). It takes a very big man to make the Post you just did. Respect.
I get insulted quite a lot here, it goes with the territory I suppose. But the apologies are usually in private, which is kinda wrong, I tend to think!
See you at the Tables tonight I hope.
Thanks folks...it won't happen again. I'm very embarrassed by this...banter at the table is fine by me ( isn't that one of the reasons for playing????)...but this time I went tooooooo far.
Good luck all.
Tony (Yes real name...its personal)
