I suggest a team event across the three sports of ten pin bowling, pool and laser tag, would have to be on the Friday night because obviously we'll all make Day 2 of the 6 Max. Either that or we make it a morning thing on Sat and Sun. Takers?
EDIT: No pink trousers this time Tommy
Hi Tommy,
I'd be up4this, sounds like a great idea (although I've never done Quasar either lol).
Do u want2split a hotel aswel?
When the value shove works:
Giving the 'King of Cash' promo somewhat of a go. If I get some rhythm together I will pile on the volume, it's just getting the grind going. On the plus side all of those low levels DYMs I was doing last month has really helped me with my multitabling, nearly cracked 12. Yes I do have the occasional timeout still but it's progressing nicely.
Life news
Sigh moment and dilemma has struck. A few pages ago I talked about my mate who broke up with someone. Now through the grapevine (second only in absolute factual accuracy to Wikipedia) my GF heard that the lady in the above situation may well have been seeing someone else at the time. And my mate doesn't know.
Now my advice for any boys and girls out there in this situation, please think before telling your partner any gossip and consider any tough spots you are putting them in. In other words I really wish my GF didn't tell me, now I don't know what to do. I make a point of staying out of other peoples relationships, especially the breakup part. And I consider both sides friends. I don't even know if this story is genuine, what do I do if I decide to tell him? 'Well X told Y that Z had overheard etc.'
What would you do?
Film news.
The Avengers Assemble movie is a better comicbook film than Dark Knight Rises. Feels good getting that out. Please feel free to argue against this and I'll point out how you are mistaken
Comics? Ahem, I think you'll find they are Graphic Novels. And they rock.
Oh and sick brag on Skyfall, looks like a good movie from the trailer, but trailers have lied to me before (I'm talking to you Ted).
Just you know he'll find out at some stage, it always comes out. I was in that spot a long long time ago and I got a little heated with a couple of people who knew.
I'm thinking 'don't get involved' is the way to go though.
Hmmmm, work on your maths Maxy.
Haha, love the fact you've got a hoody on as well for that story. Great stuff. Oh and thanks for the standard Maxally advice of taking the route favoured by the interests of the male lower brain.
Poker news...You seem adept enough at multi-tabling to me. Do you think you could stick to NL100 and above though. You can read my soul @NL50.
Life news..Best to keep quiet on this one, no good can come of it. I've lost a couple of long standing friendships over the years by being principled over matters like this. Save you AND your mate the grief pal.
Film news...I have to agree, Avengers (I hate the 'assemble' add, as though we we are gonna start wondering when John Steed and Purdey are gonna turn up!!) is a great comic book film. After years of dragging my son to cinemas to watch all the superhero movies, a rainy day on our Northumbrian break meant all four of us took shelter in the Odeon to watch it. Reviews from Wife, Son, Daughter and myself were unaminous. A great family movie:- decent plot, cracking pace, loads of action where you can actually tell what is happening and some great one-liners.
Dark Knight Rises is a decent movie but the twist villain reveal was pointlessly contrived, also ruined a great back story for Bane IMO.
GL with the grind!!
Yeah I obviously loved Avengers, I thought it was as close to having a good comic book on the screen as you possibly could, loved how it moved from action to humour to sad moments and back again effortlessly and in a manner which made sense. I liked all of the Nolan trilogy but being a fanboy I saw that twist coming a long way off. The problem with both DKR and DK (less so BB) was they crammed in too many classic Batman stories. If I watch a movie I want a new story, not some remix. But maybe that's just me as a fanboy.
The question - I seem to have a blindspot for one table position. It's timing out a lot more than the others and what's more worrying is I sometimes miss being away for a few hands before I notice. Does anyone else have a blindspot table? I'm using a four tables along, three high set up. Always the same one. Sigh. Maybe it's just practice.
For me its the bottom left and bottom right corners and the ones immediately above these that seem to run down the quickest and require desperate mouse stabs and clicks.
How you finding 12 affects your decision making? If I'm totally honest I probably play better and have a more adequate response time with 8 or 9 open.
Thing is I join all the waiting lists and keep buying in as they pop open only cancelling them when they appear and my screens already full.
Need to be less greedy but all these C4P promos...........
Nice work on the thinly veiled brag while closing down that slanging match thread Tommy lol.
So is everyone still up for some fun and games at DTD? Maybe it's the cash promo but it all seems to have went a bit quiet with regards to the coming SPT... usually it's all people talk about but I haven't heard it mentioned once for ages now.
re;multi tabling
i didn't find that i had a blind spot table but found myself getting involved on a particular table at times,and this would mean i would miss out on action at other tables.
so i now make my decision asap within reason and quickly move away from that table once my decision has been made.
if i have an 'all-in' decision for example and it's marginal i can now move away from that table and play other tables,whilst thinking about the 'all-in' decision in my mind and then go back to that table before the time bar runs out.this is something that i would not have been able to do a short while ago.
i think in your case it could be that you are involved with say 2 or 3 tables,and possibly 'big decisions' and therfore some other tables will inevitably time out.the fact that it seems to possibly be your 'blind spot' table is more likely to be that you have 11 other tables to play and therfore this 1 table is going to time out quite regularly.
although i am playing DYM as opposed to cash it was a problem that took me a while to sort out.
i also now have 2 monitors which means i can play 9 tables (3x3) on each.
it will probably pay you to get another in time imo, as it means you could also play more tables,which i'm pretty sure you will in time, also with no overlap.
as to prastise?yes,the more you play the easier it gets,i have also found.
(the more i play the luckier i get,comes to mind.)

ps;only 18 more to go and you will be giving beaney a 'run for his money' lolz
I'm really looking forward to the 6-max, as are a lot of other people. I just think at the moment everyone's a little bleugh about stuff so no one is bigging it up a ton, we just had the grand final and there's a little hang over IMO. Don't worry, these things always work in a cycle, by the time we're approaching Dublin or Stratford people will be going crazy about them.
For me I've decided to 'open up' for the 6-max. I've played hideously live for the last year/eighteen months. I've played far too tight in a lot of spots, played too 'unthinking' loose in the wrong spots, gone into my shell after taking a naughty one far too much. I just hate how I've played at recent SPTs TBH. I think I've been scared to look silly by busting level one or two so I've just stuck around like a bad smell waiting, dribbling off my stack waiting to run Jacks into Kings. Well DTD has a lovely bar and a bowling alley nearby, I'm just going to open up and play like it's an online game. I bust early a fair bit online. I also have a decent record of running deep when things click. Gonna give it a go.
Oh and for me bowling/quasar/pool is still happening.
Cheers Dev, got a few good points there.
I think you're right that I need another monitor, I'll put it on the treat list. I use that as motivation (get of X amount and buy a treat). A second monitor would probably be the least geeky thing on there.
And I'll never play as many as Beaneh, he can see the Matrix
yes,that's what i did.i decided that i wanted to try and get up to 18 tables so bought an i7 pc back in march and a 2nd monitor shortly afterwards,all out of my poker winnings.
i was only playing 9 tables a few months ago,now i can almost play 12-15 without even thinking.
i did get up to 19 last Saturday which was a bit scary. lol
so if i can do it.....
say no more.
best of luck
