How is wee man doing? Plenty of late night poker at the mo?:P
Still playing live, or less so now?
I'm thinking about playing live a bit more in the next week or too.
'super' Claus Jensen another great baldie
Possibly not yet in the great player bracket but Shelvey has a shiny bonce and is at a nasal advantage.
Surely bonus points for filling in the centre of the Venn...??
Beating Forest is great.
Beating Forest 5-0 is super great.
Beating Forest 5-0 and Billy Davies being their Manager is super, super great. (Super super great is better than just great I hear these days)
A couple of weeks ago it looked as though this match would be huge as we were going for automatic promotion. After recent results it was still huge but for a slightly different reason. I think most Derby fans were a little concerned that we could end up missing out on the play offs. I believe we'll be fine now for that. Burnley appear to have 2nd locked up. Good luck to them. I'd much prefer them to get promotion than QPR. Also, with Burnley being the Bromleys team, it's all good.
I imagine that everyone watched our magnificence on the box yesterday. Chelsea v Arsenal couldn't possibly be a bigger draw for armchair fans.

The Sng promotion is wonderful. There's so much to take into consideration for it and it's totally inclusive. I've noticed that some of the players who have set the early pace have dropped back a bit after playing more games. What a decision to make. Do we think we've done enough and stop playing after posting a good score? Or are we confident that we can improve it further and take the risk of playing more?
I think it's still really difficult to judge what would be enough to make the top 6. There are going to be plenty of people holding back from completing their 30 games until right towards the end. The last day could be really fascinating.
I had a good start. After 12 games I was at 67%. After 23 games that's fallen to 48% which still leaves me in contention if I have a good finish but still disappointing to drop back. 6 tabling them was prolly a bit silly.
I need a good finish and if I have that I will most likely stop and see if it's enough. I have a number in mind and will follow it closely to see if I'm right.
Well I'm done with the SNG challenge.
Had a decent run tonight in them. Played 7, 3 wins, 2 2nds and 2 no cashes. It's got me up to 61.8% which I think may be a bit short in the final reckoning.
Frustrating last game where heads up I checked back AJ on a Ace high board heads up. He got there with runner runner flush and I finished 2nd. Could be costly. Happy it was right play, he'd called all ins preflop with Q8 etc and I think would have gone with his hand if he'd hit any piece of the board. Hindsights always great. Should have just 'mashed' (popular word it seems) the bet button on flop I suppose.
I won my 1st sng. I felt like I was half way there.
I bricked my next 11, not even a 2nd!
Then gave up.
I reckon 62% will be plenty. Impressive stats, wp.
Really? that confident? Not sure, I hope so.
It'll be a bit frustrating if I don't make it as I can't play any Dyms for the rest of the month now
I've just played the speed rebuy tonight, no good
...
Disappointed the thread I started regarding Spt's has been moved to a distant part of the forum.
...
Billy Davied sacked. That's a shame! It must really hurt that it was following losing to the Mighty Rams as well. Poor little mercenary.
I'd sit tight, no point risking it for no reason. If you drop out the top 6 then you'll have plenty of time, it's not like you'll ever be more than a couple of wins from catching up (and if you lose a few then it's probably gg anyway), so even if you left it till like 5 hours before the end date you'd be able to play enough games if you needed to. So no rush imo, just hope to cling on and play the it 1 game at a time as and when necessary.
Seth Johnson. Sigh.
The people paid 100's of thousands a year to try and answer this question still haven't a clue Geldy, give him a chance!
Obv really
England got rid of the finest Manager in all of the world. Mighty Mac!
World Cup would have been a doddle with him in charge.
And if only Conor Sammon was English
Just for you as well. Coming soon, Jacs alternate strategy guide to 6max Sng's, (WITH PICS) Will be concentrating mainly on table position. Will be one for the purists.
A sneak preview for you all
The cut-off
Much fun can be had playing from this position

Played 2 comps tonight, was a bit bored
£2 rebuy, was a dunce and missed the addon
Came 4th. Pretty decent considering I chopped AA v AQ, lost 10's v Ace 7 and bust QQ v KJ. All in preflop in each case
£11Bh Bubbled, grrr. 3 bet all in with AK and got called by KJ. Apologies to RedArrows. I childishly tapped in 'nice call' in the chatbox. Let myself down a bit there. Just a bit frustrating when you bubble but regardless, stupid comment from me.
Someone else wrote 'bubbleboy' to which I replied 'ta for that, didn't realise'. I think I'm ok in not apologising for that one
.......
Some decent advice folks. Thanks for that. Yep, think you've confirmed for me that it will be right to wait it out and see where I am after the weekend. Dyms also look like a bad idea. If I have to play it will be the 6-max and i'll just see if my usual shove and hope tactics work their usual magic.
I bust the hand after A9s < A7o, one of them, innit.
Underrated English players. Saw Gary Pallister on Question of Sport tonight. Him and Bruce as a centre-back partnership in the day, not sure how they got so few caps between them.
Yes, I can understand why you would feel that.
It's been sent upstairs, though. I can't really add to Tighty's reply, at the moment, & I feel bad that I can't say more right now, as I like to think we are mates. The clash between mates & business is an awkward line.
Soon, though....
I can't really comment on why the thread was moved, as I don't know, but I suggest it was moved to the right board, rather then the reasons you understandably suspect. It is awkward, for all manner of reasons.
It might seem that nothing is happening, but thats not true. LOTS going off at Sky Poker right now as to various future initiatives. Think of the duck, serenely floating along the river, with no visible signs of propulsion, but under the water, his ickle-lickle legs are going 13 to the dozen. In the areas you were discussing, a LOT is being discussed & formulated right now. Whatever is decided, it won't please everyone, nothing ever will, but as the Business grows, it needs to constantly re-evaluate everything.
Personally, I would also love that more info was made known, but the Business has to balance it's plans, priorities, & information dissemenation with great care.
When we did UKPC, I would LOVE to have blogged all the ins & outs, behind the scenes, everything, & in fact I kept a private log & diary of the whole 18 month story. But these sort of things can't ever be published, really, as they involve all sorts of delicate & discrete convos, agreements, disagreements, plans, da de da.
Anyway, enough of that. How is the family?
