Well done Jac, cracking result.
You did blow the old man gimmick though
Many congratulations Paul, absolutely delighted for you, & commiserations to RogueCell, who so nearly became our first female winner since the very first SPT (or SPUKT as it was then) many moons ago.
I can confirm to those not present that "Ramblings of an "old" Man" is surely an ironic title - Paul does not look a day over 62.
Well done Mr J.
Played my 3rd sat for DTD tonight and missed out again. Made a bad play when i shoved before i needed to, which was disappointing. Really hoping direct buy in will become available. Obviously i enjoyed the last one but it wasn't just that i had a result. The whole experience was brilliant and it was good to meet all the forum regs. I've got the bug now.
I normally have to work Saturdays and won't be able to make all of them. I'm on leave when Nottingham comes arounand it's only 30 mins away for me, so really want to play.
Irritated by a thread earlier criticising the show tonight.
Met Yiannis at Birmingham and he is a top bloke. He really wants to learn about poker and is really enthusiastic. He knows that he makes a few mistakes at the moment regarding things like poker lingo. But, so what? Only done a few shows, people should give him a chance first before coming to conclusions. (rant over)
Got to apologise to Liamboi. I just run ridiculously well against him. Had a pot earlier when i should never have been in the pot. Turned an up and down straight draw and flush draw and got there on the river. The river gave him a set of Kings and so he couldn't get away.
Booked go karting for my nephews birthday. He's keen, although i think i'm more excited than him. Really looking forward to it.
Had my usual pre season bet with a guy in the pub last night who is a Newcastle supporter. This time we're going for who will finish higher in our respective leagues. Surely not going to lose this one!
In all fairness my line was pretty poor against any thinking player. I was rather tilted at that point in that particular session. I reviewed the whole session with a few friends on Saturday afternoon, and it was really really painful.
Sometimes the double float/jam the 'scare card' & try to blast people off the pot works, I suspect you've seen it all before though and weren't going to fall for that with a lot of holdings, especially as it was the backdoor flush that came in.
"ok so I floated the flop, and he hasn't slowed down. I should just fold now. But that would be boring".
sighhh.
How do you win pots against liamboi btw? 3 yrs later and I still haven't managed to figure it out.
Hope to see you in more 30nl games! I want that buyin back!
See the lengths I have to go to, and the hero plays I have to try and make to get it in good against you.
And I still can't win!!!!
fwiw that kinda hand is still quite standard on my tables!!!!
I read on AJ's diary next door that you had given some money away to 'bad regs'
Wondered if you had me in mind.
Confirmation - you would like me to join you again!
I feel like one of the tourists in Rounders
Yippee! Got my Hendon Mob flag sorted.They credited it to yet another Paul Jackson at first.
Not sure what to do tonight. Off tomorrow, so fancy some live poker.
Problems with this though are that the local casino has just lost the cardroom manager and the tourneys are dying.
Not sure if they're even running the cheap one tonight. This means that although cash will still run, it will have more competent players who have turned up specifically for that. This, rather than the players who like to play the cheapest tournament of the week with the worst structure but are happy to then join the cash table and lose a couple of hundred.
Dtd closed
Alea Nottingham i went to the other week. Not keen at all. It was like going back in time to a cardroom where the regs ran it, rather than the staff. Swerving that.
This means that unless i come up with some new super duper plan (unlikely) i'll be helping create more seats for Nottingham again.
In a bit of a quandry regarding next SPT. I feel that with the higher buy in and capacity that direct buy in is quite likely. Determined to play and so will do this if i have to. While i feel like i have a reasonable chance of satting in, if i don't get in that way, it could end up costing me £300/400 for my seat. Makes me a little reluctant to play the £48 sats.
Not sure if that makes much sense.
