This is to the Carol of the Bells:
Ding, d ong, ding d ong,
Ding, d ong, ding, d ong,
Look how the raise,
Big 3-bet raise,
Just seems to say,
Throw draws away,
The board is paired,
You should be scared,
Don't be too bold,
Please find the fold,
Ding, d ong, ding, d ong
Learn from this song,
You cannot win,
Don't go all-in,
You need to fear,
Full-boats are here,
Signs are all there,
He can't have air,
No! You have called,
Redmond's appalled,
Now that you've failed,
Head to the rail,
Tell them your beat,
While they repeat,
His hand was clear,
Said with a sneer,
Very, very, very, very Good Game,
Very, very, very, very, Good Game.
I've actually missed a chunk of the show whilst writing this so I hope people find it amusing.
It runs to the tune of Wham's Last Christmas & if you need the audio ( it mactches almost perfectly!):

Anyway - here goes.....
"Last Orbit"
[Chorus (2x):]
Last Orbit
I gave you my blind
But the very next hand you three bet my raise
This hand
To save me from tears
I'm shoving with something special!
Once limped, now too late
I had outs
But you still caught your straight
Tell me T-K
Do you recognize this?
Well
It's been a year
since you bad-beat it
(Merry Christmas)
I raised it up quite early
With a face saying “I’ll beat you”
I meant it!
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you called me now
I know you'd beat me again.
[Chorus 2x]
A crowded table
players with tired eyes
I'm 3-betting you
And your two fives
My god I thought you were a station to rely on
me? I was set-mining and hoping for value
A Queen with another only four of them hearts
An ace under cover and you tore me apart
Now I've found a real hand you'll never call me again!
[Chorus 2x]
A King with another only four of them hearts
An ace under cover and you tore me apart
Maybe next hand I'll get something….
I'll get something…. special.
Merry Xmas :-)You'd know it if you heard it. Shame you can't get it on that iPad during the show, or I'd be guaranteed a win... maybe. lol
Poker Xmas N01- 1979- Pink Floyd-Another brick on the river.
Anyway again, - it marries up with the tune ...

“Careless Limpers”
oooh –ohh (Whooah)
I feel so unsure…,
As I take my hand and watch you call my raises,
As my chances die, ….something in your eyes
Shows me you’ve not got a clue
When you’re calling with… (!)
I'm never gonna bet again
Filthy chancers taking my bankroll
Though it's hard for me to pretend
I still think you're a fool
Should've known better than to raise again
Stations, limpers, 6-way pot hell
So I'm never gonna bet again
And lose my chips to you-oooh –ohh (Whooah)
Time can never mend
The careless suck out of a Monster
To the baize then gone
Thought this was the one
There’s no comfort in my cards
One has an Ace every time!
I'm never gonna bet again
Filthy chancers taking my bankroll
Though it's hard for me to pretend
I still think you're a fool
Should've known better than to raise again
Calling raises , just ‘cause they’re suited(!)
So I'm never gonna bet again
And lose my chips to you-oooh –ohh (Whooah)
Never without a hand!
Tonight 8-6-1 seems so loud!
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's always this way
We get it in as favourite but they take it away
“Those cards just looked so good together???!”
I type out “That makes pot sense NEVER!”
now no-one's gonna’ call my house
…Please stay….
I'm never gonna bet again
Flthy chancers taking my bankroll
Maybe I should not pretend
And maybe I’m the fool?
Should've known better than to raise your blind
There’s no pushing you off that one
So I'm never gonna bet again
And lose my chips to you-oooh –ohh (Whooah)
(Now that you're gone) I have that hand I needed
(Now that you're gone) What you did Is SO wrong
its from your left to your right
having a horrible day caz i live right where the channel fashion show is being held ( linlthgow). in fact, the last two weeks have been bad with a generator running 24 hours a day a stones throw away and lots of security people. nothing to do with poker but i felt like having a moan.
onwards and upwards :-)
When it happens, you'll know.
I knew that I had a super-aggro image so I 4-bet and then I had the odds to call off the rest (unless he has AA)... I hate it so much... I'm such a fish.
If Redmond is multitabling and is deep into a big mtt does he ever go into robot mode with his sit n go's? e.g shoving on selected pre flop hands, or does he give each table the same attention?
Now you've learned how to win Sit and Go's from the BorinLoner school: Just bang it in with 83 and river the flush. Easy peasy.
Seriously though, does Redmond think the shove is bad? We both only had 10 Big Blinds.
Basically, I'm shoving there with 100% of my range as long as I think my opponent is going to fold some of his hands. (Something I should keep to myself if I ever intend to play again. lol)
Thanks for the feedback chaps. Good show, as per usual.
My game is full of little idiosyncracies. I have to set the chat bit to 'Chat Only' even if I'm going onto miniview. Also whenever I make an action (bet, raise, check whatever) I always circle the next opponent to act's avatar with my cursor while I'm waiting for them to act.
Evening guys
I have a curious habit when playing online. If I raise with a decent pocket pair and get a caller, I give a sort of "calm down" gesture, akin to michael winner in an insurance advert campaign, or an enthusiastic contestant on "play your cards right", to summon low cards on the flop. Unfortunately this has proven to have no statistically significant effect on the ensuing flop, but I am incapable of arresting this apparently pointless behaviour.
Thanks for the great advice tonight guys.
