Title: Help me to the happy ending! Post by: Claw75 on August 11, 2009, 02:20:38 AM Before we get there though, here's the story. It's a nice one.
Right now, I'm broke. I'm also frustrated, because I've been playing good poker for the last few months, but missing that vital bit of luck when it counts. It's been frustrating that I haven't been able to play as much as I'd like when I've been feeling like a result was due. Anyhow, I stuck a message in my facebook status last week asking if anyone wanted a horse for the £100 side event at Luton last Thursday to give me a shout. Having pretty much given up, a backer came through at the 11th hour in the form of George2loose. I didn't cash, but decided to stick a few quid in the slots on the way out, and cashed out for £100. Rather than feed it back to the evil Cleopatra machine, I bought in for the £100 comp the following night, and gave George a 20% interest. I managed a small cash, £510, so George's share was just shy of his initial outlay. Rather than take the dosh back, George invited me to play with it, anything I liked, and we'd go 50/50. I decided to deposit the money on to pokerstars, and registered for three tournaments that started at 9pm tonight. I busted two of them before the dosh. The third was an $11 freezout attracting 3117 runners. As I type, 3000 of the field have departed, and I'm sitting 2/17. I'd so love to win this and have the fairytale ending, and to give George a good return for his initial outlay. Here's where the help comes in. I'm getting tired, and could do with a bit of banter. Come help me get this won! Title: Re: Help me to the happy ending! Post by: Rookie (Rodney) on August 11, 2009, 02:28:01 AM username?

That Post of mine was just my sheer agog-ness that someone could play Slots at £180 a spin, or win £1,5 million on the dreadful things. Slots are the devil as far as I'm concerned - every bit as evil as Roulette. (Which I used to be addicted to, by the bye). blonde even has an online Casino upon which Slots are available, & the income has helped to keep blonde afloat. Moral dilemmas ftw...... Title: Re: Help me to the happy ending! Post by: tikay on August 11, 2009, 12:32:18 PM Great result, delighted for you. But please - PLEASE - stay away from slots. This. I'm always a little bit surprised when I see people I respect as poker players, and who obviously understand odds, percentages and EV etc , feeding these things. Since taking up poker, I've lost interest in all other forms of gambling! That exactly represents my position. I gambled on everything & anything - "traditional" horse & dog betting, then Football, Fixed Odds, Spreads, Roulette, the lot. Like many of us, I'm addicted to gambling. Poker "solved" my problem, or more correctly, channelled all my gambling instincts down one channel. It completely cured my addiction to other forms of gambling though, & it 100% satisfies my need for a gambling "fix". And now, at last, I can happily play a Tenner Tourney & thoroughly enjoy it for the sheer pleasure of playing, with the added & immeasurable bonus of it not hurting one iota when I take a beat, because I'm playing well inside my financial comfort zone. In 90% of cases, when you see folks struggling to handle defeat in poker, & sounding off at innocent others, it's because they are playing way above their roll. Title: Re: Help me to the happy ending! Post by: byronkincaid on August 11, 2009, 12:34:16 PM Why not try your hand at Low stakes Roulette? Login and use your poker account and play from as little as 1p a spin!
A good blackjack player can really give the house a run for it's money as skill plays a big part of the game; much like Poker. (LOL BTW) The Famous Rainbow Riches slot is now exclusively online at Sky Vegas. This 20 line, 5 reel game features 3 exciting bonus rounds where you could win a X500 multiplier. ;) Quote gave George a 20% interest. ;applause; congrats! Title: Re: Help me to the happy ending!
