He does have access to medical care :S hence me paying out nearly £2k...
But yeah Emma mentioned you can get something to put in his food that will make or more/less acidic, is that what you mean?
I'm pretty sure the site I looked at wouldn't cover it at all though. At a guess I'd imagine if I'm right it would be because it's so common, so expensive and virtually impossible to cure. There's no real way of knowing it won't happen again tomorrow, or next week, or next month and there's no limit to how many times he can have it with each case costing up to £500+. The closest thing to a cure that they discussed with us was an operation that costs £2-3k and will only marginally reduce the chance of it happening again. With it being so common and the potential for the cost to run into the 10s of thousands of £££ they'd probably have to adjust their premiums to an amount that just isn't competitive/an amount people want to pay. Dunno though, I might just be completely wrong.
That's the stressful thing, he's like a walking time bomb, ya never know when it might happen again. The food is a good deterrent but apparently there's other things that can bring it on like stress so getting into fights with other cats etc (so we've been keeping him indoors more recently)
Yeah seems very soft on there, I have only been playing 4NL tbf but it still seems a ton softer than 4NL here. I have only set up 2 aliases at the moment, just picked random names that came to mind when I picked an avatar (cos u have to do that first when creating an alias) so I got JollyRoger and CaptainJack... there are numbers at the end but can't remember the numbers. Gonna be using my money on there to try and spin up at 10/20NL soon (can't remember what the stakes offered are)
Played the mini with no success, but had a bit of a deep run in the main, my first for a while. Nothing really to write home about, I ending up finishing 17th for £80 after shoving my last 12xBB from the SB w/ K9o, called by A5hh, I got a monotone flop for a FD but bricked my pair outs + FD.
Decent small session at cash, finishing abuot +£60 so not a bad night overall, but still seeking that elusive really deep run in a main. If Dohhhh can FT one, then anyone can
Looking good to make another top 5 in the Premiership thing this week cos my team are 2nd atm.
Played the main and mini again tonight, semi deep runs in both, came about 130th out of 570 in the main (no cash) and somewhere in the 90s in the Mini out of about 550 for just £6.10 of heads.
A small win of just over £10 on cash meant that my total session result was an epic +12p but a win's a win.
I was CL going into the FT and did increase that a bit before losing a huge pot. There were 5 left, a shorty open, I iso-jammed AK, Tommy cold called behind with 99, he held against me, and the shorty held against both of us with AA (that shorty was Hux, who is now looking very good for the full £5k jackpot). That left me with 100k @ 6k/12k. I spun it up though and stacks were all very even and it was playing pretty cagey. Bust out hand was SB (Hux again) opening into my BB, I 3bet shove about 14xBB w/ ATs and his KK holds.
So I finished in 4th for £529.24
Very small win again on cash +£5 but I cut the session short a little once I got very deep in the main.
Forgot to update last few times but points wise I'm only on 3141
I had another good morning on cash today, swings and swongs as always. Right near the end of my session, at 50NL, I opened 56dd, but little did I know when I got it in against DivsDreams on 789cc that I was drawing to runner runner just for a chop cos he had JT lol.
I did make a pretty sick hold here though for a nice pot. Was awkward with the sizing of my 4bet (fwiw it's a PL table), but in the end I thought player A was never folding and player X was vvv fishy and I ruled out KK/AA when he cold-called the 3bet so just wanted to pile the money in, knowing he'd call light. He got a good sweat on the flop like!
I finished +£125 for the morning anyway and got 3446 points
Free £50, cheers Sky
I also had a pretty good night the other night on Unibet where 1 player sat down and was just literally gifting away stack after stack after stack. Getting it in with Q2o pre, full reload, do the same, rinse and repeat. I took about 10 BIs off him in 15-20 mins. I finished off the number of flops I need to see this morning so the money on there is now mine to use as I wish (or withdraw) and I've spun up my £10 4NL token to nearly £100.
This morning was pretty grim, just getting coolered lots and lots. There's a guy (that I won't name) who is on the tables pretty much every morning and spends the full length of every session moaning about bad beats/people getting there/how bad the player that beat him is/how unlucky he is all the time etc etc. Well he had the honour of stacking me twice in the space of about 30 mins, both time having flopped set over set... and despite this he still denied there was any luck involved!! ... because 'he was ahead all the way'.
Anyway, yeah was going pretty bad, then I got very lucky to whack a cooler on someone with nuts v 2nd nuts when we were quite deep/others were involved. This hand saved the session and meant I only finished -£60
Only a tenner, but glad to add about 900 points to the tally cos it's lacking. Points are 4663 now, still should be able to get about 13k
Ended up nit-rolling someone for a 400BB pot today. Wasn't loving life after the 4b cos generally people 4bet vvvv narrow, and when they 4bet so big this deep it's almost always super nutted. Then when he just ships that particular flop I thought he was just trying to own me when he has top set knowing a good chunk of my range is AK/KK and will sigh call it off.
It came in very handy because like the first or 2nd hand on this table I 3b KQs, think I flopped like 2 overs + GS and ended up going bet, bet shove only to get hero'd by TP, to lose £70.
^^^^^^^^^
They weren't great tables lol!?
I started the morning 6/7 tabling, and very quickly there were only 3 tables running
Getting back on track with the points now, I'm on 5412 atm, hopefully make it to 6k after tonight's session.
Sadly looks like I'm in a team that has no hope of coming top 5 in the premiership this week, but... it also looks like I'm in a good chance of being the person who gets the highest points in my team..... every cloud and all that.
Played a morning session on Friday that I didn't update about which was absolutely grim. Just got completely hammered, everyone obv thought it was a good idea to call 3bets OOP with small PPs and flop sets every single time I happen to have an OP on like the best runout for me. Haven't had one like that for maybe a month, sessions where nothing you do is right and you just lost every big pot, so suppose I was due. Finished -£300, and that was pretty grim just writing it on my spreadsheet but I went and looked at all my monthly totals so far and it made me feel a bit better.
The plan tonight was play the main and mini, then when I bust them grind some cash but I didn't expect to still be in them so late. I had deep runs in both and for a short time started to think a jackpot was possibly on the cards. In the mini, I lost AK v 88, then shipped 77 and didn't even see what they had or the runout cos I was busy shipping in the main but I just saw the 'you have finised in ....' message.
I came 39/490 in the mini for £11.52. The ship at the same time in the main was AJ v KJ where I held to get a decent stack back. A while later I raised SB v BB with AKs (both our stacks were shallowish, don't know how it doesnt go in pre), he peels, I cbet AQ3dd, he raises and stacks-wise I can only shove/fold, I do shove and he obv has AQ. I actually think I can fold the flop just because of how passive most random people play these stages but meh I blew it.
Came 19th in the main out of 362 for just over £90 so a +£65 day altogether.
Might still go and play some cash now, dunno yet.
when you say you can still fold this flop, does chip stack sizes play a part in this?
i've put 3 hands which probably sum up where i'm thinking my problem really lies.
i have went over the top with some of my clinic posts. i hope to now start calming down
