Sky Poker Forums is upgrading its look! Stay tuned for the big reveal!
"Play The Presenter" tonight.
I've been given a night off from Take-on-Tikay tonight - well I think I have! - so I'll do a regular PTP tonight.
So, tonight, I shall mainly be playing the.....
7pm Forum Deepstack, £11, 10 seater.
7.30pm £22 Deepie, £300 Guaranteed, 6 seater.
8pm £22 £12,500 Guaranteed Bounty Hunter, 6 Seater.
And after that, and assuming I'm out of some or all of those, sigh...
One or more of the Terrific Three - the 9pm £1k Guaranteed NLH, the 9.30pm £1,500 Guaranteed Bounty Hunter, & the 10pm £1,000 Guaranteed Velocity.
Then I'll finish with some Cash Games, DYM's, basically, if you ask, & I'm available, that's what I'll play.
I'm not entirely sure if I'm doing the Phone-In to the Show, or the Celeb Sports Star Heads-Up Challenge. Tonight is shown on the Schedule as Sarah Champion, so perhaps I've got the wrong night, eeek.
Memo expected from Mr Stern-Suit in the morning. Ho-hum.
Comments
I'm in both deepstacks - good luck!
Although must admit I'm a bit gutted, as I was expecting Sarah - maybe you can fill me in on the history of the Glossop chimney!
Oh, that wonderful Glossop Chimey! You bet I could.
It's fascinating, truly. Like the Lift Testing Tower, in Northampton, in fact, which is no longer in use, but is a Listed Building.
A Listed Lift Building in fact. You don't see many of them.
Strictly speaking, of course, neither are "buildings", they are structures, constructed by Civil Engineers, rather than Building Contractors. Big difference, you know.
I could go on.
Blimey Tikay,
Speak about multi tasking I struggle playing two at a time
You make a passable substitute but you're no Champion.
I was thinking about this thread in bed last night, particularly as to tall things.
We discussed the Listed Lift Tower in Northampton. And it made me wonder.
Is the Leaning Tower of Pisa a Listed Building? It deffo has a list.
Once it has fallen over it will be a listed building. ;-)
Tonight, I shall sleep easy.
The Leaning Tower is not very big btw. I was lucky enough to go up it in 1993 just before they closed it to the public. Some of the attempts at halting the increasing tilt are amazing. When I was there they had a number of enormous lead weights positioned at the base of the tower, in an attempt to lessen the angle of lean. None of these were successful and so they closed it to public access in about 1994 as I remember.
OK that's enough bedtime reading for Tikay..........to the rest of you, I apologise.
Erm....... I think you have done what I did and lost a day?:) I understand Trevor is due to be PTP I think according to the table, I could have read it wrong, if I have I appologies:)
I'm not working tonight, so I'll play a few Tourneys to relax & then grab an early night - tomorrow will be a 16 or 17 hour day for me. And Mother Hen is coming to Manchester too, so I gotta behave.
When Mr Elsa refer to "Telford's Aqueduct", he does not mean an Aqueduct in Telford (Shropshire), he's referring to the famous aqueduct in Pontcysyllte, Wales. (Ponty, not FRonty, I thought?). Built around 1800, I think - how extraordinary that it is still in pristine condition.
Anyway.......
The Aqueduct is near a famous Castle, bearing the name of a nearby Town, & we have a Member who Posts on here named aftter that Town.
Name that Member!
PS - Ruabon is fascinating, too, but I don't want to bore you.
Telford's Aqueduct.
This was YESTERDAYs Thread.
And I did PTP last night, just Tourneys, & got battered. Never won a hand all nght, as I recall.
The 'Telford' I refer to is Thomas Telford who built it in 1804 or 5 or 6'ish. I went to the bi-centenial celebrations a couple of years ago.
I hope to play them exceedingly patiently. Last night, I lost the ability to Pass Hands, & somehow called big Raises all-in when losing 3 times - VERY unlike me. I can, & do, Pass for England.
Two of my Exits were due to me out-thinking myself, & both were very similar. I had J-J in one, & 10-10 in the other.
It's early doors, & I've made it about 200 (25-50), & Villain has shoved for 5k!
They could not possibly have a hand to do that. Could they?......
Aces, both times.
BAD plays by me, bad bad bad.
Tonight,I shall be mainly very patient.
Ruabon is fascinating.......we still have a bank manager who knows your name when you walk in.
Ruabon Quarry Tiles, what memories.
More Public Conveniences & Kitchens worldwide are tiled with Ruabon Tesselated Quarry Tiles (Red) than anything else. I'd like a quid for every lorry-load of them I have unloaded by hand. No fork lifts or pallets in those days!
Just tiredmess, really, & so I went to bed at Midnight, very early for me.
Then laid awake thinking about Listed Lift Towers.
