Ramblings of an old man

^^^^

Some great shouts there Dohhhh

Strictly Come Dancing! Garbage 

Red Dwarf and Miranda - Urgh 

X-Factor, dreadful 

I actually quite like the Voice. Trouble is that it contradicts itself. It's fine when they can't see them and they choose a 'voice'. 

After that it just becomes X-Factor. 

It does have Will.i.am though so scores heavily. One of my favourite human beings ever.

I found exactly the opposite with Early Doors and The Royal Family.

Find The Royal Family too slow now.

I really liked Better Call Saul. As you say, Breaking Bad is a hard act to follow. I think it's worth watching though.

Oh yeah

Bake Off!

Or something like that. Never watched and will never watch

+1 absolutely to bake off can f.o.

but I think masterchef is one of the best programmes on TV

bit of a dichotomy that

wonder if that says more about me than about the programmes?

waller02

bake off > masterchef for me...........each to their own

It's also Sam's favourite tv show, though I know she sometimes struggles to keep up with the complex plot.

One of those weird days yesterday.

I felt like I was running bad but wasn't down much at all when I checked. Then had a storming finish. Won something like 7 of last 8 at the end and booked a £100+ day.

Sulked a bit when I seat bubbles the £55 sat. I often play the late ones so that I'm forced to play if I get the seat. I tend to just take the cash otherwise.

A bit like JimmyRiddle I could see into the future and knew I was going to bust.

Locked guy limps utg and I have AK in bb. I'm 2nd shortest stack and have about 8 bigs which was around 8k. Avg stack around 10k. Utg has 16k.

I pile it in and he snaps with 10 8

GG me

I've just seen that a Bollywood film is being filmed in Derby!

It's about the life of Mohammad Azharuddin. 

Cricket followers will remember the match fixing allegations. I just prefer to remember his cricket. Made me a bit sad recalling it. My Dad was a huge cricket fan and Azharuddin was his favourite Derbyshire player ever. (We didn't have many good ones)

He was an incredibly elegant batsmen and his timing was so good that what looked like a forward defensive push often ended up screaming past mid off to the boundary.

He played for Derbyshire for 2 summers.

Please let us beat Dirty Orrible Leeds tomorrow.

Might play a bit of poker later. Expect rants around Midnight

Seat bubbled the £55 for the 2nd night running. Got £44 though so prob best result i could have. Only played for an hour and ran pretty good. Had one fun hand where it went a bit wrong in the end. Came back to win it though

That's a pretty special hand! Hope you're well.

Wowzer, A-A v A-K v A-K & two Kings fell. Incred.

You'd think you were home & hosed there, very hard for any of the 3 hands to improve.

Such good news about the possible return of the SPTs. I wanted to hold off from commenting until it was confirmed but I think Wacko is right. Bad news and the forum is buzzing, good news and less so.

Dtd is a fabulous place to play poker but I'm quite glad it's been decided to only use it for the UKPC. SPTs in my opinion are all about the community. Having SPTs at Dtd can be quite intimidating for inexperienced live players and it also will get many non Sky players taking part.

In truth, Aspers in Newcastle and say Broadway aren't a patch on Dtd as venues but work really well for SPTs.

Now I have 2 new problems.

I work Saturdays and getting time off may well be difficult in December. If it does get the go ahead then dates as soon as possible please Sky.  I've also been away 3 times already this year playing poker and also twice playing golf. I'm sure Penny will be delighted at the idea of me spending another weekend away.

Afternoon Paul, how are things?

bbMike

Been watching the Star Wars series with the boy (8) since the hype and them being promoted and available on Sky On Demand. Never really paid much interest to this type of film or series (doubt I'll ever watch a Star Trek episode). Did actually go to see The Phantom Menace at the cinema when it came out owing to being friends with a couple of enthusiasts. Fell asleep at the cinema, but on watching it some 15 years later,.. yeah, fell asleep on the sofa.

But.. if you fast forward through the laser fights and plane chases, it is quite strong the story is. Some nice tensions between light and dark (and how to tell the difference) versus family loyalty etc. My son said he'd not come with me if I asked him to join me on the dark side, not sure how I feel about that lol.

Some dull bits in the series for sure, but Revenge of the Sith I really enjoyed. It's the 'newest' in terms of production and really shows. Might just have to check out the next one.

Too Good

You should all be on Bob says Opportunity Knocks

Sigh just bust main. Rarely play it so it was nice to have a good run. Got it in with AK v A10 for a 95k pot to go 3/26 but he hit.

Still £5.20 profit on day

It's been a great day.

Work this morning

Football didn't quite go to plan

Played rubbish at golf

Had a nice chat with GSmith at the tables

Next doors 18 year old son having party. Lovely! Harry will be awake soon no doubt

GG Saturday, going bed

Numbers for August

£355 up at Dyms

£258 down at mtts

£600 up live from Priority freeroll

£450 approx in rakeback

£122 up at Cash.

So it's not too bad. Last couple of days have spoiled things a bit. I needed to rake more than last month to get a $180 rtr bonus. So I put in about 12 hours or so and lost more than I will get in bonus.

Serves me right for being a rtr player

Made my most ever points 12343. I'm aware though that I was chasing rakeback quite a bit and that cost me some cash in the end. First and foremost I need to be winning. The extra rakeback should just be a nice bonus on top of profits.

I think I'll play less this month. Might even do something that I never do and study a bit. Really not happy with how I'm playing in mtts at the moment.

Small sample but I only had one real run in anything this month. AK v A10 for 3/26 in main on Saturday smarted a bit.

Very nice solid profit Jac good luck for September.

Unlucky on the result. But at what stage do you check to see where you would be if you'd won? Before, during or after the action? 

I've seen others say the same and I've always wondered? I'm generally too busy before and not interested afterwards. Seems like needless pain to check after the event.

Yeah see what you mean. I wouldn't notice generally with standard 10bigs bust outs. On this occasion as I went to close lobby I saw where it would have put me.
