    In Response to Re: Return of the Jac:
    Spts are back!   Well worthy of a quick rambly return.   I'm really looking forward to it.  I managed to get a seat on Sunday through the freeroll. Came 5th which gave me the seat £207 and £180 for expenses. That money should just about cover the weekend and so I won't need to play sats for expenses. It was a pity that it was Keith I knocked out to pretty much lock up my seat. Had a great time at the Irish open with him and the magnificent Paula a couple of years back. Pretty sure he'll be there anyway though so it's ok.   Will be good to see a lot of old faces again. And it will be very good to meet up with people that I've chatted to on here but never actually met. I'll miss a few but off the top of my head    Phantom  Markycash Sr23 - I think he looked for me at the ukpc but was running deep. He found Jon though, as he, well, wasn't. Reflex Gregster Elroy and Krystalboo - I do have a funny feeling that I've met them before though   There will be a little group of us meeting up to begin with.  If you want to come over to say "hi" / punch me on the nose, delete as applicable, we should be easy enough to spot.   I'll be the little bloke looking grumpy. Jon will be the little bloke sipping on Diet Coke and nibbling on a salad Jimi will be sporting an extraordinary beard  Pat will have about 10 pints of Guinness in front of him. He is so nice that people like to buy him drinks. The trouble is he rarely actually drinks them. Eamonn will the one with the butler in tow having orders barked at him. Tom will be the one exuding class   Should be a great weekend

    Ha no probs mate :)

    Yeah still hoping to satellite in, it will be a great weekend I'm sure.

    Any plans for this years IPO? 26-30th Oct. We've missed the last couple of years but will try some sats for this one.

    You will never know if you have met SR23 as he (or she?) is a master of disguise.

    This is true. At the risk of hijacking Jac's thread, are you going to Manchester?

    Quick update on the usuals Wp Derby We gave Watford 12 million for two players who can barely get in our match day squad and then we sell them out best player for around 7 million Golf - normal toss Harry - just about toilet trained. Although slight mishap at currys last week. I'd been with my mum to buy a new tv. As we were settling up Harry was bored. There was a glass elevator next to the us and so I let him go up and down on that. On the 4th trip down he inexplicably decided he needed to take a leak. Wasn't arrested fortunately. Poker - not playing a huge deal. Playing mostly cash and it's been going really well. Mtts not so good. Dyms barely run nowadays (time for a dym promo I think) Watched 2 films last night Trainspotting 2 - pretty good Point Break remake - bag of wannk.

    Would of loved to go, but won't be able to make this one as will be on holiday.  Will be sure to be trying to qualify for the next one though.

    Like the story about Harry, love it when kids do that sort of stuff.

    Well I am hoping to qualify, but seeing as I am yet to enter a promo or a sat that is not going too well.

    However it isn't too far for me so I intend to be there for at least one evening.

    That was a really nice weekend

     

    Saturday morning we did brunch. Eggs Benedict :)

    In the afternoon I played golf and for once hit the ball really well. 

    It was the Little Eaton carnival and I managed to swerve that for the golf as long as I got there in time for the food in the evening

    "Er yeah, I can do that"

    Hot dogs and a couple of Peronis were good

     

    Played a bit when I got home. Satted into the QuickDraw and took the cash. I didn't see it as playing a sat for cash. I consider the £55 as beer money for SPT.

    Then played the 2 9.30s and came 8th and 3rd for a few quid.

     

    Sunday pub lunch outside. Play areas are the nuts.

     

    Decided not to play the SPT gold freeroll as I have a seat already.

    Instead I went to Derby for the rebuy.

    Came 4th

    Had a fun hand in the rebuy period. At 200/400

    Utg limps. 3 more limpers and I make it 2350 playing 27k on the button with AK 

    Sb raises to 6k playing 12k. Utg flats the 6k playing 22k

    I shove, sb snaps and utg says Q8 is his favourite hand and calls quickly 

    We didn't win that one :)

     

    Bust a couple of hands later and was pretty unsure about rebuying and adding on. £95 is fairly steep for a small comp.

    But thought sod it and re entered. Ran good after that. Not getting tilted about beats at all these days. Most odd.

     

    £230 for 4th which meant after buy ins and 6 estrellas and a magnificent pizza I made a £100

    Will do nicely

     

    Day off today.

    Going to Jangala soft play with Aunty Barbara in half an hour.

    Will probs take Harry too.

     

    9 holes later

    Nice day today.
    Easy at work and so finished early. Thought i would take Harry to Gullivers Kingdom at Matlock. Didn't realise that out of season it closed at 4pm.
    We got there at 3 and were asked to pay £20 to go in for an hour. Decided against. Cue Harry bursting into tears. Felt awful. Don't worry, he got me back later.

    Promised him that we would come back in a couple of days. To a 3 year old this wasn't much consolation.
    Had a bit of inspiration and drove another mile or so and went to the Heights of Abraham. Across the railway track which pleased the boy, he loves trains, and over to the cable cars to take us up there.
    Harry was free and as it was late they charged me a senior citizens rate.....

    Harry jumping up and down on the spot in excitement, or maybe for some other reason,  as we waited to get on was nice. He loved the trip up and went straight to the play area. There was then a 20 minute wait for the last tour of the caves. Thought i would get us a bite to eat. Just as i was paying Harry informed me that he had done a poo. Now a couple of weeks ago this would not have been a problem, but now..

    We dealt with the issue and he loved the caves.

    Straight to sleep on the way home. His mother had decided to go for a nap as well and so i toddled off to the golf course.
    Golf is horrible once again.

    Played a bit of poker. Huge lag tonight, Had to quit cash pretty quickly but not before i'd been gifted 3 buy ins. Was quite nice when someone, who had just lost a big pot,  open shoved 83bbs pre and i had KK. He had J9 and in shock news we held.
    Played 3 mtts.
    9.30 £11bh was frustrating. Flopped a set and timed out with the lag. Bates then did me with A2 v my AK. Pleased for him as he doesn't always run too well.
    In the £3rebuy there was a reg who ran rather well. He also made a decent call v me.
    I think that he's already shared the hand with the majority of people on SKY, which is nice.
    Finalled a turbo and got 4flushed on the river to bust in a chiplead pot.

    Made £46 for the 2 hours i played so that's ok.
    ....
    Hand history free zone this btw if a certain someone is reading

    It's been coming
    Played terribly at cash tonight and had a few run out badly too, QQ v JJ for a £94 pot springs to mind.
    Reads were awful and I gifted a few buy ins away.

    Recovered a bit when I dropped some tables.

    Then I did something I haven't done in a long time. I regged some dyms to make me more disciplined. They take a long time to fill now.
    Played 2 £11s 2 £22s and 2 £33s
    Won 5 out of 6 and lost the right one.

    Only being £26 down on night is a great result

    Really am starting to feel sorry for the chap at this stage, I had AA the other night and I busted his AJ. Variance is a cruel thing Matt.

    Hi Tom

    That is so bizarre
    I was going to update and so I looked through the pages and couldn't find the thread. Was just about to send Tikay an abusive message and get the solicitors in. Then I found it here at the top :)

    Sounds like you've had a great time. Pity that ruthless CPFC wouldn't chop with you the other night!
    Sarah is a very smart woman. She chose you and she goes for Eggs  Benedict.
    ...
    I had a little go at the poker myself tonight you know.
    Tossy exit from the rebuy but cash went well
    Flops of 10 9 7 when you have J8 and they have 77 are pretty good it seems. £340 pot :)

    6 pints and a pizza and going home with £42 more than I started with is ok.

    Enjoying cash on Sky presently and have made a nice bit over the last few weeks.

    Be nice if dyms could get going again but for the time being cash is good

    Congrats my good man, sounds like you've had an excellent trip. You can treat the pug to some new toys with all your $$$ :)

    Broke even tonight 

    Awesome result. Ran horribly 

    It was coming tbf. I've had a really good few weeks. Cash has been really enjoyable and I don't feel like the spot on all my tables now.

     

    Had 9 holes of golf last night and was 1 over. It was still light enough to play the back 9 but I didn't want to spoil it :)

     

    Had a joint birthday party for my Mum and Penny yesterday. Was fun.

    13 year old nephew helped me out as well. We have a deal. He does all the bits I can't do on GTA and I don't tell his Mum that he has a copy and plays it at home when she's not there.

     

    Derby have made some decent signings. We haven't spent much but adding Davies, Wisdom and Huddlestone will definitely improve us.   Still have money in reserve for a big signing too. 

    Obv we'll get slaughtered on tv on the opening day which coincides with the SPT. I'm sure no one will take he piiss.

     

    Really looking forward to Manchester.

     

    Great stuff from Sky players in Vegas. Fantastic to see Tom and Eamonn have a great time and make a few quid as well.

    Wasn't in the slightest bit jealous reading their messages 

     

    Pen has had a relapse which is a bit shitt but quick dose of steroids so hope she'll be ok soon.

     

    Was def gonna get a new car. Bloody thing is in neg equity at moment though so will have to wait 6 months till the term is up.

     

    Think that's up to date :)

    Nice to see you post again.

    Always thought Huddlestone was a bit underrated but he never quite reached his full potential.
    Good signing.

    Best wishes to Penny.
    She does have a lot to put up with.  :)

    Must admit my luck changed a little bit later on

    Decided on a night of tourneys after playing like a fool last night at cash and doing just over a £100

    Played 4 mtts

    Bust  the sheriff early in grotty fashion
    Bust the £22 10pm just off the money in grotty fashion QQ v QJ aipf

    Ran ridiculously well in £3 rebuy and didn't bust it at all. 1st was nice :)
    Ran well in main and came 4th

    Was in totally the wrong frame of mind to play.
    In top 5 losing nights ever. Just under £700.
    Did make lots of points though ;)
