    I guess Sky will be sending you a bouquet of flowers or w/e, for Derby's inability to hold onto a 2-0 lead going into the 94th minute.

    Cost me, and I imagine thousands more, a few quid on the Skybet special today.

    The worst bit of betting runbad I've ever had!

    That's a very competative catagory too. 

    just wtffffffffffffffffffff how!?!?

    B'ham produced a similar miracle on the final day of the season to relegate us last year too, I'm beginning to really dislike them :(

    Poker was going bad tonight and then it turned a bit.
    Had a deep run in the mini and ended up coming 18th. I haven't played the £55 9pm since I won it a few weeks back :) and tilting a little from losing a fair bit from dyms I decided to buy in to it. Worked out well and managed to finish 2nd. Didn't really play very well but ran good at the right times. All until heads up that is!
    This one smarted a bit

    I then lost a standard flip with AJ v 10's to get very low and it finished with us finding QQ and AK and he hit.
    Not gonna complain though. Very happy to have a decent winning night in the end.

    I really should join The Standing at the Back Dressed Stupidly Looking Stupid Party.

    I remember a while ago someone saying how clever Day4eires alias was. I just nodded and didn't realise why. I've now just realised why.

    Sigh

    Very well played last night pal.

    Railed for a bit but tiredness got the better of me.

    Probably the only time my alias clever have appeared in the same sentence.

    Not many people will get the homonym but was actually quite proud of it.

    Newcastle - You better be good (and cheap)

    Just finished for the week and getting set for this weekend. The week started well enough. Booked a golf trip to the Algarve for October at a great price. It started to go downhill after that.

    In a couple of nights at the beginning of the week I bombed through £350 at cash and mtts. 
    Mortgage went out on Tuesday. Mighty Rams weren't that Mighty on Tuesday night
    Paid my annual golf club fees on Wednesday.
    This morning at work I dropped my shiny new iPhone6 and smashed the screen to pieces. (That tempered glass bolllocks works really well!) £150 to repair that.

    I'm not great with money but even I struggle to get through nearly £3k in 4 days normally.
    At least tomorrow night if Wolves beat Derby then I'm sure I'll get sympathy from my team mates. Surely just vicious rumours that our new team colours are Old Gold?
    .....
    One person I do have to mention is Donttelmum. I've  always really liked and respected James. He occasionally comes in for some unfair stick. That respect went up another notch on Sunday night. I'd been drinking and stupidly loaded up a bunch of cash tables. I was playing like an idiot. After one hand against him I tapped in something like "I guess you won't be surprised to hear i've had a few drinks tonight James" About a minute later he replied with something like "Be careful mate, I'm going to leave it for the night"
    Next day a friend said he'd been talking to James on the rail of the roller and he'd said that he'd left all the tables I was on after my comment. Poker is what he does for a living and he could easily have taken plenty off me but chose to stand rather than do that.
    Top bloke
    .....
    Looking forward to seeing plenty of forum people over the weekend

    1 burger and wedges that went cold, due to the council telling you off outside the casino for your shameful cigarette littering.

    Was nice seeing you all again as well.

    ........

    I've played a little this week. Won enough to pay off that bloody fine ;)
    Not played too many Dyms this month, but they have gone well. Cash has been quite decent.
    Came 55th in the upyourgame freeroll last weekend. Did feel a bit disappointed in truth with £3k ftw, but shouldn't really. £45 for free is always nice. Had a 5th in the mini turbo on Tuesday. Ran good in that to get that far.

    .........

    Got my 6th month dentist checkup next week. Anyone who's perservered with the dullness I write for a long time will understand why thst scares me :)

    ..........

    Penny has a relative who does 'Venture' style photography. In a moment of weakness I agreed to it, knob. Got that to look to look forward to tomorrow afternoon.

    ..........

    Don't you just hate it when you can see something coming for a long time but can't do anything about it? Thst happened to me this afternoon. Pretty sad about it.

    .........

    In happier news
    I'm off pub

    A house we were very interested in a few months ago but at the last minute decided not to put an offer in for has just come back onto the market. It's been reduced by £25,000 and we're going back today. 
    ....
    Come on Derby. Everyone fit again and a huge last 7 games. Kind of hope that it doesn't go like the last Friday night live game did for us.
    ....
    Close to getting back the money I lost in Newcastle. Not played a great deal but had some nice little results thst have added up. 14th in the roller last week was nice after satting in for £26. Bit of a buggger my exit. Bvb QQ v 44 for a big stack. Chabba used my chips well though and had a great couple of days. Was pretty ok about it as I'd got very lucky in the sat. Don't think I'd have bought in directly if I'd bust that. With 10 left and 7 seats I had less than 1big blind so getting through that was good ;)
    ....
    I remember now why I don't start threads much. Thought with the "forums are dying" comments recentky I'd try a happy thread. Got 1 reply :(
    Seems people prefer the threads where they can have a good rant these days.
    .....
    Dentist update. 
    Bloody abscess not totally cleared and got to go back next week. I'll do my best to keep it all below 4 figures this time.


    Have a nice Easter

    Yes, I saw that. Thought it was rather sad, actually. It seemed like an attempt to get some good vibes going. I'm as guilty as anyone, but I've got so many "great poker memories", & did not know where to begin. Anyway, I've forgotten most of my unforgettable memories.
