Took your advice and went for the all-in and won a seat for £3 - unbelieveable jeff!!! Never play in these tournements as they are well out of my bankroll but hopefully even 1 head pays for my poker for the month!!!
Regarding the hand just shown with the straight flush, I think if you know you're against a good player, you have to fold because you know the other player is only shoving with the A diamonds or a straight flush, so if you have the Ad yourself, you have to put the opponent on a straight flush.
Worst (or strange) Xmas pressie? Well, I mended an old neighbour's fence just before Xmas last year and she bought me a pressie. It was a Chinese Juggling Ball! Yes! ball, singular. Having mastered one I've dropped hints to her that I'm ready to move up to TWO! BTW my wife thinks the old dear thought it was a "chocolate orange" - (whatever that is!! ) lol
Managed to take a head for £37.50 so massive return already. Was a bit nervolus and hadnt played a hand but now gonna just go for it - whats the worst that could happen!!
Best Xmas pressie... after a few hints and links emailed to book selling websites, my daughter took the hint and bought me the poker book that I have wanted for a long time.
Read a chapter on Xmas day ... then {admittedly after a few sherries} entered a few tornies ...
Won 2 and came 8th in the third ... best winnings for a while
Told daughter this must be one big coincidence but thanks for the book
Best present I got this year was a live tournament entry worth about 300 for a tournament in London today...which I crashed out of an hour ago :S Was worth the entry fee to listen to carlo citrone sat two to my right cursing the online poker gods.
Hi again guys....one of my friends is playing UKOPS main tonight. He isn't the best tournament player but does try hard. It would mean a lot if you could show one of his hands. He plays as TommyD on the site
my best and only present was... a box of mint chocs from the local pound store. it was bought for me by my OAP next door neighbour. she knows i am on my own and thought i could do with something to cheer me up...lovely lady!!
Worst present - has to be the £50 of Comet vouchers from my Mum !
Best Present - from family - the book of the Mental Game of Poker. I still lose every tournament I enter, but at least now I dont feel so bad about it.
