In Response to Re: My story:

Life goes on,here's a little story I would like to share.i am not a great fan of ladies having tattoos as I think the female form is beautiful as it is,now my lovely daughter,(who was the cool kid at school with a wicked sense of humour and very very pretty, I know I am her dad but it is true.) has had a few tattoos which I have expressed my opinion on, yeah I know it's her body,life etc etc,but we have a very good relationship and we can talk to each other about pretty much anything,except them mother daughter things of course. I took her in town yesterday to buy my good lady wife a birthday present and the conversation turned to tattoos and she told me about her new one which I expressed my disdain,it is a playing card,the king of hearts with a banner running through it which is empty. She said dad it's about you cos you are the king of my heart,you play poker and when you finish your treatment I am putting the date in the banner...I almost had a tear in my eye. We got our replacement suite Friday as the first one was a bit falling to pieces ish, there is a media unit in the centre of it which baffles me but luckily enough my wife is intelligent enough to work it, today we are doing the house cleaning with the iPad playing 70,s and 80,s music through the suite. Stand by me by ben e king came on and the wife and I had a smoothie dance to it,life doesn't get any better than this! Poker wise I fin 2nd in £2 bounty hunter,happy days.

Played a bit of poker this evening, was doing ok in the deep stack..until the chap on the button decided my 3x raise in BB was an attempted steal to his limp on the button. Unfortunately for him I had AA unfortunately for me the board ran out with a 7 and a 2 giving him 2 pair  

My AQ shove was snapped off by the same chap with K 10, you know the rest lol.

My dear wife has started crocheting a blanket for dear daughters impending baby, she hasn't done any knitting or the like for quite some time.

She kept stopping, unwinding? And starting again. She seemed a little short on confidence so I tried to give her some of my famous confidence boosting words of wisdom - " Let's have a look love, oh your doing really well..and managing to put different patterns on it too" wife - " Not by design"  b.ugger.

Really appreciate folk voting for me in the forum thingy, remember though, I'm one of the lucky ones so far and the people who suffer most are close family., I cannot begin to imagine how my dear wife and children are feeling deep inside.

Some people don't post their on-going crises, and for those ( whose name/s I won't mention here) I send my best wishes and hope all turns out well. 

Peace all x

Just can't get the hang of this poker malarkey, I was on the verge of being able to withdraw a little ( I have a certain bankroll I'm comfortable with and if I go £100 over that then I make a withdrawal )

I haven't been able as yet to counter the crazy betting patterns of certain players, I will succeed though

I have a flurry of hospital and doctors appointments coming up, be prepared for 'woe is me' in the coming week or 2

Having said that ^ , my good lady suggested that on one of the appointment days we should both book the day off, and when the appointment is over look to book a holiday in May - ish, Vegas no less I'm running pretty well huh.

A good friend and really decent chap suffered some horrible beats on the tables recently, I wanted to say quit for a month or so, overall he is a winning player and knows what's best for himself so I kept it to myself, ( apart from now ...idiot) really hope things turn the corner.

Another really nice good friend is trying to do the right thing by me, I can't explain what but I appreciate the sentiment, my fault though.

Mother in-law starts chemotherapy next week, Sarah is going to another meeting with her pre treatment, how she copes with everything thrown at her amazes me, I love her so much, wish I could be as strong.

Wife bought me a kilo tin of chocolate toffee things, I may have eaten half in one sitting, 

My tablets are playing havoc with my waistline.

Peace all x

Hi Tom, great thread btw, I do enjoy reading your story.

Even if at times it's, a little sad, you alway's seem to somehow, 

add a little humor to lighten the load. I have to confess, that I am guilty,

of reading all the threads on the forum, and not posting on them enough.

Keep writing Tom, you never know I may post more :-)

I must congratulate you on your win,

in the 7.45 plo8 tourney Last night. you absolutely owned it.

I had the tourney lobby open during the game,

and you were 1st or 2nd in chips most of the way.

by the time we were on the final table, you already had the lead, 

and didn't lose it from what i can remember.

You did seem in total control,

you kept the pressure on all the time 

it really was superb to watch you dominate

the tourney and a well deserved win.

suffice to say, I was most impressed with the way you played.

GL in health and GL at the tables.

**you must be shattered after last night, don't play the Thursday league tourneys.

sit down with your good lady, watch a film, and finish off those chocolate toffee things.

Regards Alan (plo8 I let you win champ)

Thanks AJ, I do run pretty well sometimes sorry couldn't chat much last night, I had a few tables on the go and was trying to eat the rest of the chocolates before they go off.

My good lady went to the Chemo planning meeting with her mother, they originally had the first chemo planned for this Friday, Sarah asked if it was possible to change it as my appointment is Friday., they very kindly changed it to today.

Sarah was really sad when she told me how it went, there were half a dozen people there having the same/similar treatment, most of them were alone.

As mentioned above, I have an appointment tomorrow afternoon to discuss the results of my CT scan, as per usual I get all kinds of thoughts running through my irrational brain, what's the worse that can happen ey.

The next appointment is on the 24th Jan, that is the one with the oncology consultant who tells me the scores on the doors, I may ask him how long I need to be on this particular treatment, I'm getting old and grumpy and need to return to my awesome self, oldish and grumpyish.

Sky are putting on some fab promos, I'm a bit rubbish at trying to get the points for the cracking freerolls though, I'm a bit set in my ways of regging my usual Tournies and can't seem to find a way to try to get 10 points on the same day, I only get in from work at 6pm, sort it out sky

Be safe all, have fun x

Wow, thanks for the messages chaps ( and chapesses)

You know when you build yourself up for a first date, nerves shredded, thinking what shall I talk about, will she like the place I will suggest going to, what shall I wear etc etc, then the big day comes and you get a text saying she is washing her hair.

Got a phone call from dear daughter Friday 10am, the hospital have cancelled the appointment....The doctor had called in sick.

My head has been all over the place the last couple days, but as my sister said - if there was any bad news they would be in touch to go in straight away.

Got a phone call today, the appointment has been rearranged for Saturday 21st Jan..

The good lady wife and I went to visit her mum today, have a tidy up etc, her mum seemed in good spirits which was nice to see, I got a phone call from dear daughter whist there, did I want to come with her for a " Pug Meet" ( few people with Pugs meet on the seafront and walk their dogs., I jumped at the chance absolutely loved it, her dog is in season though and all the others seemed to be male dogs suffice to say they were VERY friendly to Panda ( daughters Pugs name)

I may play a little poker this evening.

Good luck all, be nice x

tomgoodun

Got a letter from hospital today, sorry your 11:20 appointment on 21/1/17 has been cancelled....

It has been re-arranged for 10:00 on 21/1/17. 

There's plenty of days between now and Saturday for further developments

Remember the Pug meet? Well....the day after poor Panda was feeling really sorry for herself as she couldn't open one of her eyes ..Tried bathing it in warm water to no avail .

Darling daughter took her to the vet who diagnosed an eye infection ( who'd a thought)

Eye drops twice daily are an absolute bu gr to put in, she fights and wriggles like a tigress, I feel awful putting them in, but afterwards she knows she will get a treat so she sits there, give her the treat and she wanders off with it, giving me the evil eye..no more Pug meets ( for a while anyway)

Played a bit of poker last night, made FT of dtd3, was very late though and I wasn't feeling up to pitting my wits against the good players who were on the table, shoved The lovely Rose's raise with 33, she has JQ.. I don't mind a flip

Board ran out 6:7:8:9:10 and I don't get a chop

Be good, have fun x

tomgoodun

Sad start to this evenings post - My darling daughter is moving out soon

She was talking about going to IKEA this weekend to purchase various items for her new abode ( with her boyfriend, and Pug , I know it's getting sadder)

When my good lady asked what time she wanted to set off, dear daughter said the planned trip was off as she was a little short of funds this month.

Played a bit of poker last night, managed to cash in the 6:30 bh, FT both PL08 tournaments I played, finishing 2nd in one and 3rd in the other.

Now the post turns a corner to happy.

Remember me saying I withdraw a little when I go £100 over my b/r I'm happy with - well these cashes put me over that sum so I was able to withdraw and get this - I promised my daughter I will take her to aforementioned household goods place and treat her to the goods she wanted for the new abode

I am the hero of the day , really happy.

Dentist tomorrow am may have a bearing on my new found upswing mood

Good times

Be safe , have fun x
