WD trev nice cashes.WD pokey trev and geo in DTD.WD dale in taking down the DTD great stuff.WD TPT great effort in DTD.Hi steel and red,the game can be so frustrating we all know.If you guys decide to take a break I say gl to you.As I know it has helped me in the past.We can all get pokered out.See you soon guys.
I've just finished a good heads-up battle with bracewell1 and he nudged/badgered me in this direction to join you guys.
I'd class myself as an OK player who blows hot and cold (I've won a few tournaments here, but then I've donked out early in some, as well). I play mostly for fun but it doesn't hurt that I'm in profit...
bracewell1 threw me a few compliments when we played but I'm not sure how much of that was him just trying to massage my ego in the hope that I'd get cocky!
I used to prefer SNGs but now I've found a taste for BHs. I'm awful at cash games (I could blame luck but it's not the luck, it's the shitness) so at the moment I tend to stick to the smaller MTTs.
Pro-wise I'm a fan of Jason Mercier and Daniel Negreanu, and I also like watching Phil Hellmuth - but only to see him blow up when he gets beaten.
Anyway, that's me.
Oh, and the name wizball refers to a brilliant 1980s computer game. It was great fun and I was pretty decent at it so I guess that, on some level, I'm hoping that it'll help me have fun and be decent at the poker tables, too.

hi wizzy,
have played you in some of the morning BHs
marked you down as solid and a good chat
welcome to TPT, I am sure you still be a great addition to the team.
Managed a 5th place in 9-15 deepie after disconnecting twice on final table. Ty Martin and er trip5 for rail (well I think she was railing me hard to tell )
WD haha dale and pomm nice cashes.As for myself i'm having a nightmare,haven't cashed in a week.Haven't even come close.Think i need some fd from dale or the boom button from trev, either one will do lol.Gl at the tables guys.
thanks guys for filling in for the PLO8 last night. at one stage there were more TPT registered than everyone else combined! no messi amongst you though, although even tikay didn't have a good night, so maybe it was an off day. eh, trev? Posted by GELDY
To be honest Geldy - I was RUBBISH.
I could have said I was just unlucky - But...I was RUBBISH!!!
I could have said I was outdrawn - But....I was RUBBISH!!!!!!!!!
I could have said I suffered a couple of Bad Beats - But.....I WAS RUBBISH!!!!!!!!!!!
Truth be known........I was sooooooo bad, I think other players just felt sorry for me and just folded to my Big Blind......either to try and help me out or just for entertainment value (I'm not sure which) or........maybe they were laughing that much they just could'nt hit the bet button.
Let me tell you people....when it comes to PLO8 - I AM RUBBISH

OMGGGGGGGGGGG lol - when I read this post I thought I'd posted about myself exactly what I've been like all week!! I have played the worst poker of my life this week and was seriously considering calling it a day. Now I see that I'm not the only one having an off week so in a weird way I feel better lol (sorry boss sir - but it's true!).
I hope you all cash big soon - and I hope I rediscover how I used to play. I've even started looking round other sites but haven't joined any yet........ Now that I've discovered this cosy corner of the forum it's definately enticing me to stay put!!

Welcome to the madhouse Wizball - this must be the friendliest poker team I've come accross. I'm the newest member before you - so now I'm not officially the newbie (st) anymore lol.
Trev Chasing flushes when the flop is paired is a good way to lose chips i only called the river bet because you could have flopped quad 9s I hope this helps

Hi Dave That was a very nice hand sir and thanks for reminding me how bad I was lol
tbh - it was my very 1st ever attempt at PLO8 and I was well out of my comfort zone - I get by at PLO but PLO8 has a very different dynamic - but I don't mind giving it another bash, lets face it, I can only get better lol.
From what I saw, you have played a few hands before - put me to shame anyway
it was my very 1st ever attempt at PLO8 Posted by POKERTREV
good on you trev - the cap'n leading by example
i would rate myself average at PLO8 - i don't know any of the more advanced strategy - but am still able to win PLO8 tournies just based on my general understanding of how to play poker, along with the rules of PLO8. (or maybe it's just variance). i've no doubt that with a little practice you'll be able to TID for TPT
personally i find it the most stimulating style of poker although tommyD did mention some more obscure variant (BADUGI) that looks interesting

Hopefully see you at the next one - Good Luck.
Just don't ask me how you play it - apparently you can win hands with High & Low Cards
