Lol, there was a little bit of tilt earlier.
Take your point. Personally though, the raise/call it off e.g raise to 300 at 50/100 and then call a shove for 3000 due to being pot committed! is my favourite
All the doom and gloom has gone and the atmosphere is brilliant. I really wanted Clough to do well but he was content to just finish mid-table, year in, year out.
The biggest change is down to Man-management
McLaren has backed the players all the way and they're no longer going on the pitch scared of making mistakes.
We've been good going forward all season but the defence were dreadful. He brought Wisdom in who's been excellent. Also, although we conceded 90% of our goals from crosses, Clough, wouldn't accept that, and it was everybody's fault other than his centre-backs. That's obviously been worked on and we look much stronger at the back now.
He just backs the players. No favourites
Clough actually brought some good players into the club. How he managed them when they came in was a disaster though.
Cringeworthy after one game. We had Tommy Cyzka, a 19 year Polish lad. Good looking player. He gave the ball away in their half and it eventually led to a goal. Clough said something like, "Criminal what he did. If they won't learn, we'll soon pack them back off to Poland or wherever they've come from, the boys clearly thick"
This was a young lad away from home doing his best, learning the language and his manager came out with that tripe. Disgusting
Hughes is looking the real deal. Not ready yet for a big move, but he can really play.
Brysons and Martin are the real stars for us at the moment though.
Did a bit of tilting earlier (when will I learn?)
Had some pretty interesting calls made against me. On the whole though, I just played badly.
Ended up getting back to just £25 down, more through luck, than good play.
Going to have to look at it closely. Dym's have been my bread and butter on here. Presently, they're my worst game.
Just thinking about it. Some advice that Pokernoon has been given, makes a lot of sense. Even after playing for this many years, mixing Cash, tourneys and Dym's is a tall order.
Playing way too loose in the Dym's and just making really basic errors.
Had one hand against YouMad where I had 2 options really, Shove or fold. I called! I then donked out! I do that about twice a year! I got there on the turn and got a full double up. Horrific play from me.
Youmad seems a really nice guy, great player too. On every table tonight and tough to play against. Got lucky against him a number of times and he reacts in the way I do normally. With a bit of grace and in full knowledge that short term we may get unlucky but keep doing the right things and we'll be fine in the end.
I noticed as well that I was going into shove mode way too early. That's the tilt thing coming through and it's brainless. get a few bad beats and then shove to stop them calling with poor hands. Genius Paul! So I shove to get rid of the very hands I want to call me and leave myself open to busting by getting the premiums to call. I'm a star!
When I got back to £25 down tonight, snap deregged every game, withdrew down to a £1.05 and ran out to the pub.
Mature! Nope, but prob best too leave it when I know I'm not playing well
...
Railed the superroller for a while when I got. Good to see some of the forum guys doing well. Good banter on the rail as well.

Hi LARSON
Favourite posts on the forum....
Won't have much time for poker in Feb! Delighted for you.
Was really good meeting you at Newcastle.
And well done on good profits in 2013, 2014 will be an even beter year.
Always a pleasure reading your diray, one of the best on here, which just leaves me to say, have an outstanding 2014
Congrats on a great year, 2014 is gonna be even better for you with your happy event.
Think McLaren might give you a 2nd happy event come May but you'll be doing well to reduce your handicap and smash the poker up with your new arrival causing mayhem. Good luck in all your endeavours.
He had the temerity to turn a set on me with 30odd left in the rebuy. I wanted to fold on the turn and definitely wanted to fold the river.. I called. convinced myself he had missed. There were a couple of draws there.
I think he's rather unpleasant and I hope Burnley get relegated.
Other than that disagreeable turn of events, it's been another enjoyable night.
Played for a few hours and ended up £3.44 up.
Can't be bad. Few hours of poker and won enough for a petrol station latte and change.
..
Was originally going out tonight but Mrs J under the weather. Everything fine, bit of heartburn and other pregnancy related things.
..
If she's ok tomorrow, I'm playing golf. Ages since I last played so it could be grim. Was going to go to Barnsley but sold out before I could get a ticket. 6000 going up there. Only a couple of days now until Xavi decides Derby are the club for him.
..
Laptop off in a minute and i'll watch the end of the test match.
What's happened to us? They just seem to want it so much more than we do.
I hope Dohhhhhh had a bet on the series. I seem to remember him saying he thought they might do us.
Could be his first winner yet!
Clearly that chicken meant nothing to you!!
Sigh
I'm the worst.
1/13 in the £55 BH
Out 13
Raised 9 10 hearts and turned 2 pair. Called the shove on river.
He had flopped top 2. He was playing quite strangely. Doing a lot of limping and calling every time in his big blind. He'd shoved a few times but I hadn't got to see his cards. Hmmm, I can make all the excuses I like. I seem to have forgotten how to fold.
So annoyed with myself. Played in 4 UKOPS tourneys over the last couple of nights. That's more than I play in a month normally. Went deep in 1 but short of cash, nowhere in another and cashed in 2.
Silly mistakes have cost me twice now.
I am most definitely a dunce
....
On a more cheerful note. We're 2nd now. Prob sign Tevez in January to help with the push.
Also, played golf today and I wasn't altogether terrible.
....
Also resisted the temptation to have my say on a couple of ridiculous threads today. Pat on the back for that. I'll leave all that to Harry from now on, I think.

A great looking new diary has just started as well! Looking forward to reading more.
Can't wait for the next instalment from VickiPKR
