The damage was done long before the double float hand, think that was the 14th of 15 pots I lost that session above £15.
(The 15th was limp/3betting 72 and getting stacks in on 887. Yes, it got even worse!
Really enjoyed you talking about the cup final preparations they used to do. At the age of 20 I am constantly hearing from older people about how its not the same and the pre match would start at 8 in the morning and last all day. Gutted it doesn't have the same buzz now and the money of the champions league has taken over....also the f.a. cup final is a 5 30 kick off now isn't it? some things are tradition and should NEVER be changed. The reason it was changed it once again money which is a shame. The song you mentioned btw is "ossies going to Wembley his knees have gone all trembly come on you spurs! come on you spurs!", unfortunately F.a. cup wise I havnt seen us get very far, 3 semis, 1 when I was young that we lost 2-1 (I wont mention the team we lost too) where GARY DOCHERTY ( the ginger pele) put us 1-0 up. Lost to already relegated Portsmouth 2-0 (which I was lucky enough to go too......) and more recently a lose to another team we don't like to mention, the score line was a joke so ill leave that out aswell. I do have pictures to remind me of what I missed in my room, ricky villa dumming a few players and scoring against man city. And my favourite a paul Gascoigne free kick against the Woolwich lot
anyway got carried away there, but will definatly be keeping an eye on this, GL!
I thought about that hand quite a lot.
I assume that you would give me credit for being a player who could fire 3 barrells with air.
You said before that i would still have snapped with most holdings.
Not totally sure about this, probably, is all i can say.
I quite liked the line you took. In my opinion the only problem with it was I sized the river bet so that even if i wasn't so strong i would probably have had to sigh call. Just don't think with stacks sizes you could make it big enough for me to be able to fold there.
I did consider that if you thought i was at it whether you could just call on river as you now had showdown. But i think you knew that i was ahead of that and so to win you had to make me fold.
Interesting hand for sure
Yeah, not just poker here, i ramble on about all sorts of random rubbish.
Gascoigne is the best English player i've even seen.
The last season at Spurs he was incredible.
Still had a great career but he could have been one the best ever in my opinion.
Your lot are doing pretty well right now though, just need to keep hold of Bale.
Only been to White Hart Lane once. We actually had a half decent team then. (not the 11 point clowns of a few seasons ago)
We lost 2-0, i remember Steve Sedgley was one of the scorers.
Yeah I think he will give it one more season and if we don't get in the champions league he will leave... I really hope he doesn't give us 200million and I still wouldn't sell him, there's very few players that can do exceptional things like him now. So true how do you blow a 13 point lead, that team had no fight. Its funny people still class modric as "world class", the man is a good player no more , 30 million was brilliant business. Its van der vaart that we miss, I loved him just for scoring against arsenal every game.
Haha, steve sedgley... that's years ago.... abit of an old man arnt you :P
Very proud of Penny. As I've mentioned before she has MS and she deals with it with little complaint, She holds down a very responsible job, she's a Sonographer, and although she's shattered at the end of every day, she rarely has any time off. Her walking has got worse over the last couple of years and so if we do go anywhere she will normally be in her wheelchair. Please say Hello to her if you see us. (I've told her everyone is really nice). Probably the one thing that upsets her the most is that people talk to me rather than her. She sometimes feels invisible in her chair. We went to buy her a dress the other day and at the checkout it was as if the dress for me. (Maybe I just look like a cross dresser)

Great to see England get to the ICC final.
Just wish it was an English team. I will never understand how, for example an Irishman who has played for Ireland can suddenly be able to play for England!

I have played awfully at poker this last week. Been very fortunate to get out of it when I've just been on the right side of two big hands. Won a bounty hunter this morning. Not saying I was a nit but heads up was my first bounty. Would have had one more but I won a hand which left the other guy with 67 chips. Pity as he had a decent bounty on him. Final hand I made quad 6's, bit better than Q4!
Played for around 2.45 last night in the Q/F and sneaked a seat for the S/F.
As it finished late it was cancelled. A couple of phone calls to CC and I was put into tonights Semi.
Looked forward to it all day.
First out. Think i'm ok about how I played it.
1st level and a guy who had done 2/3rds of his stack with Ace 10 raises.
I'm in BB with AKss. I'm just going to put him in when the button reraises big, 900.
I had played with the button in the Q/F and seen him show up with some less than premium hands/
Thought AQ/AJ/A10/KQ and a lot of small pairs were all in his range here.
Sat, with 3 seats at the time(before end of late reg) decent chance to get a really comfortable stack.
I shipped, he snapped with 77 and held.
Hindsight is obviously great and this is all results orientated but should I just be folding? Decent structure, take the race on?
As i'm writing this i'm starting to think that if in my mind I have an edge over this player why get in a flip with him?
Confused
Be interested to hear some good players views
Look forward to seeing you and your better half at Notts.
As far as your latest hand goes.......It's a tough spot, your essentially flipping for your tourney life with the AK being a slight underdog and I would happier shoving with it rather than calling with it. That being said you're less likely to be up against Kings or Aces and oppo has less combinations, but its still a flip.
1st level - I think I fold to the shove (I'm quite nitty early on though:)
Good Luck - See u at notts

Would love to know who this striker is! ???? (lol) My football knowledge isn't what it was, I used to follow Donny home and away throughout our glory years (conferecnce to Division 2 ((league 1)) ), but then we started losing.
So I stopped bothering.
Connor Salmon?
Sorry if it's been discussed before, I've only just recently started reading this diary properly, but what are your thoughts on Mini Clough?
Derby appear to be showing a lot of faith in him. Huge club, you reccon his Dads rep is buying him more time? I really want him to come good!
You don't sound very optimistic though!
Aint had a chance to see the Sky Cash Game yet cos I don't have Sky Sports but I'm looking forward to it coming to 861 eventually.
Luckboxed the £12 direct.
Only 14 runners. Great value with the overlay and surprised people aren't really going in for them more.
