I see you're playing this one, mate.
Best of British to you- throw me some hand i.ds if you get the chance and some thoughts on the game. Ty.
3 to 'Shuffle Up and Deal'.
Huge tonight!
122 in the lobby. Get on it!
Best wishes from an excited Brummie. Shaun the Villa fan in Bham
Good luck to everyone playing in the super roller tonight, hope you all have a fantastic night.
My Strengths: Patience grinding low stakes cash and BRM. Also I think I do well in tournaments lasting a long time and I believe I have a good percentage of cashes to buy ins.
My Weaknesses: Commiting too many chips in tournaments to continuation bets after i've missed with AK etc only to fold to a 3 bet and give away far too much of my stack.
My strength in tournaments is also a weakness as I play too tight which always allows me to reach final stages but I have yet to place first as I am usually short stacked by the end.
My killer Weapon: I've not really developed one yet. Improving my game slowly with the help of the Sky poker channel but missing alot of good shows because of my girlfriend wrestling the tv remote off me
My Achilles heel: Not having a bank roll big enough to play any main events of anything close to one
How far Have I come in the last year: Started early january using skys new player offer. Manged to use my ten pound free tickets to win a £3.30 DYM and a £3.30 roulette and since then grinded my bank roll to £100+
I'm hoping I can continue to build my bank roll through out this year and get a chance to play for some real money.
Looking forward to the show.
P.s Gl to Evil Pingu enjoy reading his diary and lets see if he can bink another one.
Best wishes. Shaun the Villa fan in Bham

Looking forward to a good show.
Only been playing poker for 10 days so still very much a novice but was going to have a shot at this big tourney tonight just for the lolz but missed the reg because busy on a cash table and even though i still managed to get onto the mtt lobby in time i somehow managed to make the super roller disapear from my screen by accidentally hitting low stakes at the bottom of the lobby and running out of time to reg by the time i realised what i had done !
Gutted (although with the experiance ive got it prob saved me £110
BTW Rich could you please stop trying to talk Tommyd into giving up his day job and playing poker 24/7 because things are hard enough for me on the cash tables to start off without seeing tommy sitting there all day long
Have a good show and could i say good luck to players Scotty77 and Tommyd who i have learnt so much from watching and listening to on ch865 and also player 1267 who i spoke to today and seems such a nice guy and i always like to see the good guys win

Looking back i think i was behind here until i binked the river, was turn raise correct on this board and should it of been a larger raise?
I would rate myself a 7/10 on an average day
Strengths would be my aggression
Weakness would be my errrrrr over aggression
Killer weapon would be my ability to bink river sets
Achilles heel is binking river sets that give nut flushes to the villain
In the last year i have gone from a recreational player to a profitable player especially my MTT game improving hugely with an ROI of nearly 80%
Loving the roller

I have no weaknesses!
I am undoubtedly the best player on the site!
When I make my moves they are 100% successful!
All the above are totally true for at least 2 or 3 hands every tournament.
Which is why I admire the likes of Scotty77, Tommy D, Lolufold, Glitterbabe, Peg1, Yoyo and so many more.
I play for fun and have learnt so much, listening to the advice given on 865.
but unlike many on here I recognise my flaws.
Each tournament is a war of attrition. 100% concentration, extreme discipline, positive decision making, good cards and favourable variance are all necessary components of being successful at the game.
The above mentioned players have rounded their game in such a way that they appear devoid of emotion.
They play thousands of hands and make key decisions over and over again.
Which is why they are prepared to risk the whole of their stack without conscience if they believe the odds are in their favour, through statistics or expert knowledge of an opponents commitment or weaknesses.
When the plays come off and we see the hands replayed on shows. It is understandable for recreational players like myself to scream Luck box at the telly and swear blind "on line poker is rigged", but we don't take into consideration only 50 or 60 of the best hands are shown from tournaments where many thousands have been played out.
I don't have weaknesses I have flaws!
My flaws are. I don't have an analytical mind, my concentration wavers depending on my environment. I don't play nearly enough hands, I fall in love with my cards, I find it difficult to commit my stack when the odds are clearly in my favour, and I'm too lazy to make notes on my opponents.
But I enjoy every tournament, have few regrets and learn from any decisions I make.
In my world I am, and always will be the greatest player in the world!
The answer as to how to become a winning poker player will always be:-
You have to be focussed
You have to put in the hours
You have to have the temperament
You need an analytical mind
You need to be disciplined
but most of all you need to enjoy the taking part!
My spelling is appalling and my grammar worse!

was i right to call initially.. then i wanted to know where i stood on my middle pair so i raised after the first check.. then did i have value for the call...
i think he played it right with the pot raise to push me off the up and down with middle pair..
