Great to see you decided against not posting anymore. Congrats to Derby, have a great time at Wembley. On current form you have to be favourites to go up!
Look forward to hopefully playing your boys next season.
What are your views on pitch invasions and fans running around with flares (not the 1960s trousers) and grabbing players? Some pretty brutal scenes.
The pitch invasion made me feel old!
I was thinking, "please don't grab one of them around the neck and injure them in some way"
Result was brilliant. Commentary was awful. Derby are decent counter attacking was all I heard. Not sure how we counter attacked whilst having total domination of possession!
MIGHTY RAMS
Now I have to try and get a ticket. Went to most games last season but didn't get a season ticket as I couldn't commit to all. Gives me no preferential rights.

If you still have any freeroll championship final tickets lying around I don't mind taking one off your hands. Promise to be nice in all my posts from now on ☺
No doubt there will be the usual media love in with Rednapp. I guess it's just the opposite for our Manager. He'll have to do a lot before he regains the respect of fans/media. We love him though. I'm thinking of getting a McLaren haircut. Maybe it's a chance for him to put some Wembley demons behind him.

Remarkably I'm came 3rd in a little tourney last night. Wonders will never cease. One of those runs for at the moment that come around every so often. Tonight KK in turbo did for half my stack against a rag ace. Next hand shove A3ss from the bb for 11 bigs over a button limper. He snaps with Q9 for 2/3rds of his stack. Yes, heard it all before, we want those calls. Not when they bloody hit we don't

Watched the Gary Barlow thing with James Corden earlier. Often read about song lyrics having loads of meaning and all that tosh. A little different when you listen to 'let me go' again knowing that it was about his stillborn child. I was in bits.
There was a bit in the programme that made me smile. Corden made a comment that Barlow was now at the perfect age because he'd always been 42. I've kind of always felt older than my age as well.

Just about to press post and a guys just limped into my bb in a dym. I had 9's and so put him in. He snapped J2. I didn't win. When will it end????????
I got a bit lucky at cash and came of a NL30 table with around £110 and so that softened it a bit.
Just scoped this month. 99 games played at an roi of -8.2% and $290 down. For all dym games played since I began on here I'm roi of 8.9% from 8627 games. Guess it shows why we need big samples. I'd be quitting for good if this month was my standard results
Lol just looked at post. I'm awesome at posting hands! I assume that you get the gist though
Orford would say its a straight !
Gl to the Rams at Wembley
You decide - Played 2 lost 2 so far tonight
Next tourney. Lets try again
Edit
Tried again, 3 games. No good, No good, Got seat in £55 direct sat. Unregged it with 25 secs to spare. Not really feeling it tonight. Made £4.50 on night. A wins a win
Teach me please
Come on you Rams
I'll do my post anyway as it's from the completely different level stake and goals wise.
These days i kind of know where i am in poker. I'm a little better than average at the stakes i play and i set myself realistic targets. For this year I've just wanted to achieve the same sort of profits that I've made over the last two years which is about £8000 a year.
This is me on Sky since i begun
SCHEDULED 505 £5.07 £7.77 53.9% £2,562 78
SNG 8,328 £0.65 £7.05 9.1% £5,390 72
Obviously Dyms have been my main game. Pleasingly since the start of the year when i moved up to playing mostly £16.50's £22's I've continued to have decent results. From the 730 I've played at these stakes I've an roi of 14.5 at the £16.50's and 7.8 at the £22's.
What i want to do now is to start playing far more tourneys on here at a higher level. Due to playing live a lot before Harry was born I've always been reluctant to play the bigger tourneys online. I'd rather do that live. With me playing very little live these days I'm considering upping my buy in level online. I've had a few nice wins live over the last couple of years and the boost they give to the bankroll are fantastic.
I know i have plenty of leaks in my tourney game but feel that i might have the odd result in me somewhere. A lot of players I've noticed have been having coaching recently and it's probably something i should consider.
Tourneys are fun and as Dohhhh wrote earlier, the chance for a big result is always there. Over half my profit last year was from the SPT win and there's no better feeling than a tourney win.
Dyms have been great for me on here but i can no longer put in the volume. When i was doing the PS4 promo in January i played 583 Dyms. Since then I've played only another 396 in nearly 4 months. Dyms are all about volume and i don't think i can make the money i want to solely playing them these days.
I've kind of got away with it since January. Last month i had the skill and go final which made me £700 and a couple of other bits and bobs have kept me going in the right direction.
I'm pretty much bang on schedule for this year and I'm considering having a decent break for the first time in years. I enjoy playing poker but the main thing for me is the money. I want to win so that i can do the things i want to. Summer is just about here and with the World Cup and a family holiday in June, now seems a good time to have a break. I may have mentioned before that i like golf and the weather is perfect right now. It seems silly for me to be playing to earn money to do the things i want to do and not do them.
So that was pretty long! Basically i see poker as a nice part time job at the moment which in addition to the pittance i earn at work gives me a reasonable chance to look after my family. Just need to keep going i guess.
Surprised you don't flick in for most of the mains here on Sky. For every Tommy, Melt, Bates, Divs and Scotty, there are tons more inexperienced, or just plain bad, players also kicking about. Certainly money to be made if you can handle (financially and emotionally!) the dreaded variance that comes with MTT's.
Might see you in Notts, hoping to secure that week off work to play the £250 and try and also bink a seat into the ME*
*meh, who am I kidding, Hooters for a week of chicken wings it is.
On a more serious note I'll have fingers and toes crossed for a Derby win tomorrow, lets just hope it doesnt rain and Mclaren gets his brolly out.
