blonde poker forum

I'm having a great day on Blue square, i have won 2 MTT's collecting over $600 in prize money and i have taken $300 on the cash tables at the 5 cent / 10 cent tables.


I'm having tomorrow off to play in cincins.

wel done. you must have put some hours in to take $300 off the 5 c/10c tables.

WTG NME!

I have been playing since 8 am this morning!!, i am beat, i ned to go sleep after this steven Segal movie finishes.

Hard to Kill, more like hard to watch.

Good result Billy  ;applause;

CHEERS RDG, had my wife railing me from the sofa to keep my spirits up  :D

Them 2 table MTT's are tough  ;goodvevil;

But $300 on 5c-10c WOW!

Too many rocks in those 2 table MTT's, dodging them is hard work, although no one ever lays down an over pair to the board, people seem to be happy to bust when the hand is beat. Its like they are in denial.

PMSL

I know how you feel billy - it's great to have a day where everything seems to go ok.

I've been having a bad run recently and couldn't seem to hit a cows backside with a banjo (where does that expression come from?) yet today I sat down to play and had 2 huge hands in the first orbit and got paid nicely on them both.

It's actually one we've stolen from over the water, rather than the other way around. Or so it seems.

"He couldn't hit a bull in the ass with a banjo" I believe was originally used by baseball pundits to describe someone on a hitting slump.

It could be an extrapolation of another baseball expression called a "banjo hit"

Apparently, not so much to do with the banjo having a larger surface area than a baseball bat, and so easier to hit something with, but rather the sound that this particular hit makes.


Which of course begs the questions...

What the f*** is a ground ball?

What the f*** is a check swing?

Why the f*** am I doing this, rather than finishing some article that was due to be submitted to Snoppy for the website five and half hours ago.

Ground ball is easy enough, that's a batted ball that rolls or bounces on the ground.

A check swing is a swing begun by the batter, but ruled by the umpire not to have been a genuine attempt to strike the ball. Apparently, whether or not you meant to hit matters sometimes.

As for the last question, I'm blaming writer's block.

Snoopy, is it ok if I write about banjo's rather than poker this week?

It sounds like the tank is improving his sporting terminology!! So when we say "its the bottom of the fourth with it being all square with one on and no out as the clean up man steps to the plate. His ERA is a modest one at less than three hundred but has always managed to perform well against the knuckleball" you'll now know what we're talking about?!?!?!?  :D

p.s. did you finish the article?

p.p.s. the giants beat the marlins 14-2!! Wooo GOOO giants!!  ;cheerleader;

Well done Billy, keep it up

I think so, I know the clean up man is batting fourth, (so with one on and no out, i think that means two runs have been scored for that side already during the innings) but I though the ERA was a picher's statistic.

So not really quite there yet.  :dontask:

At least I'm finished that article thingy now. Will go to bed after another a little more forum trawling.

Sorry for the attempted hijack Billy.

Good luck tonight at Cincinnatis.

Aye, not bad there squire - 8 out of 10 with a bonus mark from spotting the deliberate mistake :)up.

The ERA is a pitching statistic, its the RBI's and batting average that are used mainly for the batters. The one on with no out just means that the batting team already have one man on base but have yet to lose any of their three outs - there's no reference to the score during that inning.

The clean up hitter is a term used to describe someone who bats 4th in the inning, usually the three batters most likely to get on base will bat 1st, 2nd and 3rd and whoever bats 4th is the power hitter who can score a big home run to get all the base runners to score - and hence clean up...

Anyhows - also my apologies to Mr Newmanseye. Nice job squire, keep up the good work!!  ;applause; :respect: ;applause;

That's the bit that confuses me still.

I thought the three previous batters must be either out, on base, or home having scored a run.

With no outs, and just one on base, that's why I assumed two runs had been scored.

Its only the first inning where the number 1 batter comes in to bat first, from every inning from then on the batter who comes in first is the person who was due to bat next when the last inning came to an end it doesnt go back to the number one batter. Therefore if the number 4 batter comes in to bat with one on and no out it just means that the first person to bat in that inning was the number 3 batter who managed to get on base.

There - monkeys description, clear as mud!!  :D

Nice One Billy  :)up

 :)up

Finally, light has dawned on my marble head.

Bonds hit his 716 Homer in it :) least we off bottom now

I must be improving, or everyone else is losing their touch, 2 more MTT cashes today so far, and still going strong.
