How much fun was that last night? Never seen the PLO8 DYM's so busy, must have been a record night, & the banter was superb all evening.
An astonishing 16 games ran @ £11, not long ago we would not see that many in a week.
The bizarre thing, is that we were all chasing that WG Promo, & really, we had almost no chance v the NLH boys with their huge liquidity.
Fun times, enjoyed it immensely. Clocked up 46 games, & managed to turn a nice bit of profit in the process. Lovely job.
No poker for me tonight, am working, hostilities & banterage recommence tomorrow.
And yes, a clever Promo, & I hope it was a commercial success, so they do it again. I actually wrote to the Suits this morning & told them how much enthusiasm there was from everyone about it. Not that they'll take a blind bit of notice of me, like.
The PLO8 crew have no chance, of course, as we don't have any games above £11, which is a shame. But, as we know, it's just not possible to balance these Promos & Offers to satisfy everyone. No complaints here though, it was such a fun night.
Best winning streak has been 5, which I achieved twice.
Quick shout out to "whizzewky" who, fingers crossed, may pop into this thread shortly, after Posting HERE yesterday.
Can't be many players on Sky Poker who have played more DYM's than Whizzy, & he's a proper bloke, plays the game in the right spirit & takes his beats like a proper grown-up.
...and my "Welcome" question to Whizzy is an odd one, & we'll not mention names, but.....
There is one player who seems to relentlessly troll you, & make comments about your personal life & appearance.
You boys got history, or is it just bants?
Some of his comments seem a bit intrusive to me, but if it's a bit of fun, then that's cool.
Have to say, you have great game. There are EXACTLY 4 players in the PLO8 crew who, if I have Fold Equity, I will consider folding to when I have raised a bit light. You are one of those 4.
Also thanks to phantom for the nice welcome as well as arfur too.
We entertained
You cashed
Isn't PLO8 great?
Where was Team Anti-Troll (Karen, Whizzy & mmmchips) last night when I most needed them? You'd have had SO much fun with a chap that joined us for a few games, quite a new player to Sky Poker.
First game, right out of the blue, he has a pop at me.
"Why so slow titkay?"
I say "ha, loving my new name" to which he responds "seems apt".
No more is said. I bust, as I did in the first 8 games I played. The bullets are flying, I'm laying low, trying to win Game 9 & register my first win of the session.
Later, he appears on a table which included all the regulars, including Eon.
First orbit has barely completed before our man pipes up.....
"...If you two try colluding, I'll report you."
There is silence. Everyone is trying to work it out.
"I mean it, I'm watching you both"
Eventually, Pommy susses it.
Eon & I share the same "Field Address" - Ilkeston - though I don't live there now, I live 150 miles away, & I've never met Eon.
"Yeah, so watch your step the pair of you, I don't like colluders & I'll report you. I mean it."
I manage my only comment of the game, "well, between us we have played 25,000 games on Sky Poker & nobody has ever suggested that before".
In a flash, he replies - "yeah, but they don't watch games like I do, I can sense collusion immediately".
There is total silence, you can sense everyone thinking "it's the e-numbers".
By now, word has spread to all my other tables, everyone is commenting on "tikay's new friend" & are now railing us.
No more is said, until Level 4.
"Yup, I'm still watching you two. The pair of you have not played a single hand together. Classic sign of colluding."
Not played a hand together by Level 4? As most might already know, by Level 4 I've rarely played ANY hand against anyone. Don't think I had played a hand in that game, either.
Sadly, he bust then, & that was that.
And here's the thing.
I don't bother when folks say that sort of nonsense. My game speaks for itself, & I reckon Eon & I bust each other more than any two other players in those games. We frequently get 4 handed, & are both ultra aggro at that stage. It usually ends in tears for one of us.
So it's fine, I'm genuinely not fussed.
But......
What sort of world do we live in where a complete stranger can make such accusations on such flimsy evidence. He had NEVER shared tables with Eon & I before, & within one orbit, (in which we both folded EVERY hand) he accuses us of colluding. Because we have an address in the same town. Along with 40,000 others.
Can you imagine him being a Member of the Jury when some poor so & so is up for Murder?
Yup, I know another bloke from his town, & he was a nasty piece of work. GUILTY.
The mind boggles.
Anyway, I ended up losing 19 of 30 - yup, I LOST 19 of 30 - & £36.90. At the same time, I was trying to reassure people who were exercised by a WG Twitter Freeroll thing, & then that poor chap who had his Kings cracked by Jacks. In a Freeroll.
Life's rich variety. Love it, love it to bits. But understand any of it? Not a bit.
See you guys tonight. I'm on a recovery mission. titkay has warned you.
There must be something in the water as playing a b.h and a player brags he's the sh** shoveler and destroyer or words to that effect but I remember the first word is true. I was down to 635 chips and I wasn't going anywhere in a hurry. He thought he smelled an easy target. Unfortunately for them that wasn't to be. I was patient and bided my time and a few du's later I was in the position to finally get his bounty. Have been on their table a few times and the story is always the same. Poor thing must be on permanent tilt.
He was a strange 1 TK, as someone suggested in chat too much REDMEAT
