    Brilliant, thanks Tikay – and Bandicoot. 

     

    I'll certainly come over and say hello... Or if you want to seek me out, I'll be the guy in the corner, crying and biting my nails, and repeatedly uttering; “What am I doing near the fire escape... have I won a bracelet yet?”

    Well, I did my Take-on-Tikay tonight at much higher Levels - £50p - £1, & £1 - £2, gulp, but we escaped unscathed, & in fact made a small profit on the night, only about £50, but it beats losing.

    lJAMESl & ajs joined my Tables at various stages, which was a bit worrying, but I sat fairly quietly, & just tried to use Position.

    I've been playing poker for about 11 years now, right back to when Internet Poker first began, but I have never - except for 10p-20p & 15p-30p on PTP Nights - played Online Hold 'Em Cash. It's just not my thing. Online, the only Cash I ever used to play (pre my Sky Poker days) was Omaha, which I enjoy muchly.

    Live, (B & M) my game of choice is DC, or 6 Card Omaha, but I never play Live Hold'Em Cash.

    So I was a bit troubled about tonight, & it started badly when I ran AK into 9-5 on a K-9-5 flop, & I put my man* on a worse King, so that was a bad start, but once the nerves settled, I just grinded away, played my own game, & ended up turning a little profit. Phew! 

    * Putting players on hands. It tickles me when we say that - what we really mean is "we guessed". We are kidding ourselves if we think we can differentiate between, say, 7-7 or Ten-Ten, or A-Q & A-J.

    Playing 2 Tables tonight, & trying to chat at the same time, we once again got a hurry-up merchant.

    Three times, in the Chat-Box, while we waited for someone to act, he typeed in the box "ZZZZZZ".

    Not seen that one before, mate.....

    I'm not in a position to "debate" too much with him, so I said nothing. He went busto, fairly sharpish, too.

    And three players immediately typed in "ZZZZZZ".....

    Tomorrow (Friday) it's WSOP-E at noon for a few hours, then back to Feltham for a Pre-Record at 5pm, & the Live Show, with Lord Orford, at 9pm.

    Saturday is pretty much a rest day, just a few hours at the WSOP-E, then play the Deepies in the Evening, & Sunday it's back to the WSOP-E with In-Poker.

    Another week done & dusted.

    In Response to Re: This & that......:
    Hurry up, hurry up...... I played some 10p 20p Cash last night as part of Take-on-Tikay, hugely enjoyable. I opened 6 different Tables over a 3 hour period, & got to play with a whole bunch of players I would not normally play with, as I'm more a Tourney player than a Cash player. 3 hours on 6 Tables yielded a profit of £16.15 - just over a fiver an hour, so I shall be able to retire in 2093 at this rate. We do more chatting than playing, to be honest, it's just nice to chill. A few players seemed to be playing above their Bankroll, which worries me a lot - there's no need, the "Take-On" Promotion will, in due course, play at ALL Levels we hope, from the smallest to the biggest, with, if it works out, different Presenters & Analysts taking their turns. I fancy there'll be a huge Waiting List if Rich Orford gets to play the 50p - £1 Tables......;) Two weird things. If I pick up, say, Aces, or flop a set, I always try & say something like "careful guys, big hand here" or somesuch. And everyone think it's a moody, & Calls! I will never "reveal" my hand, during the hand, but if I say I have a monsta, trust me, I do! But on one Table last night we had a self-proclaimed Hotshot. "Hurry up, hurry up, we are only playing for pennies, you donks". Followed by the oldest & stalest cliche in Online Poker, when he was waiting to act , he typed in the Chat-Box, "ZZZZZZZzzz". Not seen that one before buddy. ;) Lol, just lol, it was sooooooo funny - he upset the whole Table with his antics, so everyone, when it was them to act, let the slider bar run down to the very last moment! And he was getting more & more miffed....... Next up, to me, he gives it the "you are supposed to be a pro, why you playing penny stakes?". That went down like a lead ballon with the rest of the Table. Ho hum. Finally, "come on tikay, stop playing like a wimp, I can beat you, let's go all-in Pre-Flop". Err, I'll play my cards when I want & how I want, if that's all right with you, Sir. You do get all sorts at the Poker Table.

    Was gutted to hear of the Final Table abuse DTW suffered. There is NEVER an excuse for this sort of thing, & I hope the culprit gets his come-uppance. 100%. What IS the matter with these people? But it has to be said - if you bluff every hand (& you are well entitled to) - & then show - this is very provocative to those of a flakey mental disposition, & after a while, it will kick-off. It just will. It's just not done. As you know, I show every hand (for different reasons, to be fair), but unless playing wirth a bunch of close friends, I NEVER show my bluffs. It's just too provocative, (not to say un-necessary) & people will get uppity if you do it often enough. If getting them uppity is the Plan, all well & good, but don't be surprised when folks get upset. But if you are playingh for fun, as we all are, then personally, I would never do it. Old School players would never dream of doing it, because it amounts to "up yours"!

    Tikay .. agreed.  I am very easy going at the table and play purely for fun (as my bankroll will testify).  I will sometimes show my cards to show that I was holding a monster, or to show that I'm not "at it" but I would NEVER EVER show the table a bluff of any kind.  Pulling off a good bluff is very pleasing in itself without rubbing peoples noses in it.

    One of those nights eh, Trev?

    Pleased to see you took it like a grown-up. Nobody gets less respect from me than those who can't take their beats. A few beats tests the mettle, the character, the backbone. It sorts the men from the boys. Those who can't take their beats would be better advised not to play poker.

    Hope you run better tonight bud.

    What a nightmare that "Not Logged In" problem was, but it seems to be fixed now, well done whoever mended it.

    I'm a little impatient & intolerant on these sort of things, so I'm afraid the Suits at Harrogate arrived to a whole sackload of e-Mails this morning, from me, &, doubtless, many others.

    Fair play to them, they seem to have got on the case PDQ, & it'll soon be all forgotten.

    Let's be right - we would not be proper poker players if we did not moan a lot. ;)

    It's level in chips, too.

    J P Kelly is one of the 2 players - can he do the double?
