Well here we are happy new year only played one game on the first small profit then yesterday was my oldest daughters birthday so by the time I got rid of family managed a bounty hunter which I bricked and the dtds I made the ft in the third one and got £4 from fr
I grew up in a little village in the west coast of Scotland called Springside going way back it was a mining place but this had long died out before we moved in .Springside was a tough place full of characters,whippets,greyhounds,pigeons, and the occasional ferret flung in for good measure and most of note in the village was a boxing club it spawned a few Scottish amateur champions back in the day I don't know if it's still running
Growing up I was really good with numbers and loved a gamble horses puggys three card brag and my favourite dominoes I was quite a good domino player so much so that I was let into the pub underage so that I could play for them in the league every Sunday after the league games the gambling started and it could get pretty serious pretty quickly punters side betting on games.One Sunday we were hosting another pub and after the games the real fun started and on this occasion I ended up center stage playing a chap that had been a bit mouthy all day the locals put me in to play him and I put my pound down he covered it.unbeknown to me the locals were betting heavy on me.The game started and quickly I went three nil up and at that the gentleman put his hand out to congratulate me.Without thinking I waved his hand away and said we play to four in here .Straight away I knew I had messed up you could of heard a pin drop I could hear the murmuring and feel all the eyes on my back.We played on and he drew back to three all and I started to panic the last hand played out and I won happy days sitting with a shandy after an extremely large guy came up and said if I had lost I was getting pasted and not the wallpaper kind after that I stuck to the league games lol
Got pumped out of hufa cup lost a couple of Dyms but it was double points and tried the mini bounty hunter got two bountys but it plays way different to the daytime ones like the wild west lol must try harder
Good day yesterday lost Hu in rainman's deepstack then sat down to play the evening session only to find free entry's for fosp courtesy of finishing fourth in the league even better took the third one down got seventh in the last one so that's a good start to this month also got a tenner off the freeroll
Was going to have a quiet night last night few drinks play the Freerolls and the orfordable deepstack
tried a few all in sats and won entry into the BH main so I thought might as well try the mini as wel ended up playing the rebuy BH got absolutely outplayed and made early exits from them all and sent back down to daytime poker with my tail between my legs (see earlier health warning
Time for a little life story I grew up in a little village in the west coast of Scotland called Springside going way back it was a mining place but this had long died out before we moved in .Springside was a tough place full of characters,whippets,greyhounds,pigeons, and the occasional ferret flung in for good measure and most of note in the village was a boxing club it spawned a few Scottish amateur champions back in the day I don't know if it's still running Growing up I was really good with numbers and loved a gamble horses puggys three card brag and my favourite dominoes I was quite a good domino player so much so that I was let into the pub underage so that I could play for them in the league every Sunday after the league games the gambling started and it could get pretty serious pretty quickly punters side betting on games.One Sunday we were hosting another pub and after the games the real fun started and on this occasion I ended up center stage playing a chap that had been a bit mouthy all day the locals put me in to play him and I put my pound down he covered it.unbeknown to me the locals were betting heavy on me.The game started and quickly I went three nil up and at that the gentleman put his hand out to congratulate me.Without thinking I waved his hand away and said we play to four in here .Straight away I knew I had messed up you could of heard a pin drop I could hear the murmuring and feel all the eyes on my back.We played on and he drew back to three all and I started to panic the last hand played out and I won happy days sitting with a shandy after an extremely large guy came up and said if I had lost I was getting pasted and not the wallpaper kind after that I stuck to the league games lol Posted by weecheez1
Another quiet day didn't play much at night because of the problems just used the tablet and played the Freerolls and the mini got a few bountys to start me on the leader board so this week I will try this at night for a change but will still play fosp on Thursday
Good day yesterday binked the lunchtime plo8 and min cashed two others particularly happy with my play in the mini only took one head and a small cash but was happy with my reading people and defending the castle at the end exit hand was unlucky but rode the luck a few times to get there so fairs fair gl all
Not a lot of volume yesterday one ft followed by two cash bubbles :-( only played the Freerolls at night.took a big hit early on and only left myself about 180 chips made them last for £10 :-)
My family moved us away from Springside when I was sixteen I think they were worried the road I was going down I was a regular in the local and I had just been expelled from the academy for fighting and it was a good move I didn't think so at the time but parents aren't daft so we moved back into irvine and into a new academy I was really quite clever and at one stage was sitting 8 O levels but by the time I moved schools I had lost all interest
After school years I got a job in a hospital laundry and it was the best job ever I was one of only three men in amongst forty odd women and I was the baby very happy days the women used to love trying to make me blush and they were good at it,very hard working ladies and they liked to play hard too some of the works nights out are the stuff of legends.On one of these nights out I met my wife who was one of the women's daughters.We dated for a short time but I wasn't ready to grow up yet so we parted our ways for a wee while
I followed Glasgow rangers from a young age and went all over Britain to see them my party piece was always to have a brand new deck of cards to play brag on the supporters bus we kicked up the second last seat and layed it across that isle making our table and away we went many a time I was skint before we arrived and had to tap the treasurer but those were the days.I also played a flute in the local flute band and was a lecturer in the orange lodge.I know that might raise a few eyebrows but it was no different to the poker site a bunch of like minded people getting together and having a laugh.I met the wife again one night and it got serious this time and on the 16th of June 1990 we were married and then three daughters later here we are TBC
Enjoyed yesterday bricked my first two mtts and changed to spin ups made a small profit then last night got into the main via satellite and took two bountys job done there was no major dramas in the game but I still think I play scared in the bigger games which does not make sense because I don't buy in direct maybe I just link the bigger buy ins with better play and I think that might not be the case
opening balance £137.54
Closing balance £175.95
P.s.also done a double at the football picked the two Manchester teams and as the old saying goes don't give up your day job gl all
Good thread cheez, you put in a great deal of input to the forum. By the looks of you opening and closing balances and the amount of tornys you play, you have grat bankroll management. Which is great, and will do you a great deal in the future. GL
