/01/2013)Just worked it out again lol!!!!Wanted to show this hand just for the fact that I think it was the 1st I played after waiting some while.Normally I would've busted by then through sheer anxiety at not playin many hands,so I'm pleased with myself that I hung around.Left names in as the oppo in this one was massive chip leader and had AK,so it was an easy call and no gettin away from it.2 hands later I had my 9s take out shorty's 8s to place in 2nd and a nice cash of £6.Anyway,I'm away this time lol.Night,once again.

hi Paul,
if u move the cursor at the bottom of the hand over to the right i think so that the names are out of view to the left of screen and so all the money side of hand becomes visible,b4 you go blue
then the hand will post up perfectly.

Hey all.Writin this mid tourney.Goin gd Sittin 3rd in bh atm.But the big news as the title would suggest,I have to confess,for the last 2 months or so we as a family have actually been goin through a battery of tests with the weeman for his autism assessments.Didnt want to say nowt before to get hopes up.BUT!!!Officially,black nd white,from the horses mouth,specialists assessments etc,autism is not and won be present in my weeman!!!!!!!!!!How great is that?The social skills and behavioural skills etc that are testoed are A OK baby!!!!!Now this is the greatest peice of news that I have recieved ever.Since last year,when I shared my story with yuo all I have been inundated with goodwill messages and would like to thank you all.Tonight I have spent 15 notes on a bottle of celabratory red(thats a huge amount in my book btw).I was well prepared for the news that my weeman may have neede specialist treatment etc,but this just beats it all.Woukd just like to say it has been a pleasure tellin my tale and I hope you continue to read,as I hope to chart the weemans education through this thread.
SO SO HAPPY.
Cheers Paul
Ps.the wine tastes awesome

Glad to hear of your good news rgarding the liitle one
I,m sure your challenge/diary pales in insignificance , but i know you,ve seen my diary and you can tell by my pts each month i don,t put in as much volume as most as well,  but the reason its slowly but surely getting there is 99% down to BR management. If you can get this under control i,m sure you,ll do fine - GL

Good to hear Paul, not a wine drinker myself but i'm sure it has never tasted better lol

Great news must be a massive relief for you.
Enjoy the wine.

unknown_username

thx folks.More satisfaction than relief though.I have stuck through this when other issues around home life have made it difficult.Pleased for my missus more than any though.She found it tough,but we have done it and life is extremely good atm.Weeman really has no idea yet what this means to us as a family,so all innocence on his part brings a smile to my face.And hey,made £2.50 tonight!!!Quality.

Afternoon all.Been quite slow poker wise since friday.Did ok in the bh.Finished 26th out  of 300 odd and took 8 heads along the way.Deepest I've ran in any tourney in yonks!!Got majorly lucky early on when my ace 9 took out 8s and ace king.Got to chip lead with 55 left,then proceeded to play awfully.Went out when I flopped top pair,only for oppo to turn a straight.He/she was ahead pf so never mind.Lessons will be learnt.Really enjoyed the game properly for the first time in a long while.Previous good news helped imo.Dont think weemans aware of the situation fully yet,but funnily enough a new swear word may have been learnt during the liverpool game yesterday.Played terrible and deserved to lose but not overly important in the grand scheme of things.Clicked for 165 notes on the irish lottery saturday night,so beeen a really good weekend all round ))
Cheers and thanks for readin

Mornin all.What a week its been.Have had so much more time on my hands what with the total lack of appointments with the weeman.Feels strange being around the house more often.Its never been tidier lol.Must say tis hard to wipe the smile off my face after last weeks good news.Unreal!Holdin my own poker wise.No wins or losses of any great note since last weeks bh.Went out of a timed tourney last night in bizzare fashion.4 limped all around to me in the bb and my 4 5 hit two pair.Happy days I thought.Threw the last of my chips in and got 1 call.From aces!!Anyway,the board paired on the river to knock me out.Would have been about £15 notes pot so was wee bit peeved,but the monster held up so no complaints.Had plenty of luck last week myself.Off out tonight to a pub quiz(aint been to one in yonks),so should be good craic.Good luck all those playin today/tonight and as always,cheers for readin.

Hey folks.Another week goes by and the weeman continues to amaze.Practically speakin in sentences atm.So good to hear.His birthday on the 20th,so plans afoot to have a really special day for him.God knows I think he and the rest of us deserve it after the year we,ve had.Poker wise,its been bleurghhh alll the way since my last post.Just gettin battered when ahead or behind.Doesnt seem to matter I'm doin atm.Which leads me to this.Really dissappointed in myself earlier.Went out of the bh to a 2 outer,which brought out a side of me I thought had gone a long time ago.Thought the oppos call to my all in was rank bad play imo,but I really need to practice what I preach and get back to the understandin that its a game.So,an apology to my oppo for that one.Slap on the wrists for me lol.The weird thing is,I'm enjoyin the game more than ever,so its totally out of character.Just sat down to my first glass of red while all are asleep.mmmmm.
cheers for readin folks

Red Wine & Weeman FTW!!!

Nice catching Up, do remind Us ALL on The 20th!!


The Hitman!!

unknown_username

Hey all.Been a really great week all in all.As the title suggests,the weeman celebrated his birthday on the 20th.Such a huge difference in the family household since his last birthday.Amazin progress,speech,makin friends,comin out of his shell etc have contributed to his and my own well being.So pleasing to see him playin with other kids at the adventure park we took him to on his birthday.That deffo wasnt a sight we thought we'd see this time last year.Poker wise,its been strange.Dabbled in cash.Not sure its for me.was playin 5/5 action tables and the swings I experienced was bizzare to say the least.Was a bit dissappointed earlier when 90bbs deep I lost an all in on the river,only to see the oppo scarper faster than I could say "see ya ,sucker!!".Hope I get the chance to play him again as he was mega loose and could be taken.Even by someone like me lol.But like I say,just a wee post to say it was the weemans birthday,as this whole thread is down to him and his effect on my life.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KID.
Nice lookin at that I think you'll agree.

Great to hear about the progress, i'm currently studying autism in my developmental psychology module and it's very nice to read such positive comments regarding your childs progress and the positive effect on all off you!

Poker wise my brother came up last week and you popped up in a couple of HU games against him i was watching, you seem to have a good aggressive HU game i'm sure you could grind out some decent profit playing them a decent amount, anyway gl at the tables and good to read some positive real life stuff on the forum.

Thanks man.Still not totally there yet with dealin with the bad beats in hus.Nothin bad,but never get my head around the huge swings that can occur.At least I dont get so worked up anymore that I let myself down aggro wise towards an oppo,I hope lol.Hope all goes well with the studys m8.
Be good

Bizzare night tonight on the tables.Lost so many flips it was unreal.It also seemed that if I folded a random hand lie say 9 4 os,the flop was comin down 944 or the like.I'm still tryin to learn the game and not let the weird calls that hit get to me.The 2 bhs I played were basically a non event.Couldnt get goin in them at all.Gonna stick at it and try some new stuff,see where that gets me.like I always say,if I have a bad night,all I have to do  is look in on the weeman sleepin,and its all good again!

Hi all.Been quite a while since I last posted.Nothin really too ex citin to post.Weeman was being his usual self etc,then!You know when you think nothin means more than family or kids etc,what happened this week hit me harder than a hammer.The weeman had an accident,when he was being his usual inquisative self.Head injury and the like.At that moment,due to the nature of the fall,everything that I thought mattered,felt meaningless.The little mans ok now,but it really brought home the "whats important" issue.I know I've banged on about this for a long time but please dont let poker get the better of you.It is only a game.For the breifest of seconds,after the weemans fall,I felt so physically ill.We are all good now,thank god,and poker has been an unmitigated disaster,however,after this week,I would happily go broke every session knowin that my kid was ok.
Hope you're still readin
Cheers
Paul

Hi Paul,
always 'look in' to see how the 'wee man' and yourself too are doing.
glad the 'wee man's' ok after his fall.
amazin just how quick they 'grow up' isn't it....
you'll be sayin "aye,believe it be yure round next sun...hick  hick." before you know it.  lol
anyway,best wishes as always Paul,

Hey all.Been a while since my last post,but here goes!!What a week indeed.Had fully intended to have a nice glass or 2 of red and a game or 2 of poker last friday when things went a little bit funky!!The weeman took quite ill to the extent that he had to go to hospital due to extreme blueness abbout the face.Rapid breathing etc.Very scary.Never seen the like before and hope never to again.Hes out now and on various medications and inhalers,which is pleasing to say the least!!!!!The side dish to the weemans recovery was that I took a few days off work to keep an eye on him and while he was havin a well earned kip,I entered the early mornin bounty hunter and only took it down!!!!I know,me winnin a tourney.Had to check it wasnt a dream lol!!Jjust chillin with a wee glass or 2 of tasty red atm while all are kippin.Think this week has been hectic to say the the least,hope I never have to go through somethin like that again with the weeman,but with kids,you never know.
Cheers.
Paul
