blonde poker forum

right its been a couple of weeks now since my health has been good enough to start playing poker again
i am still not in perfect health but its better than i have been in along time and 18 months off the weed is helping my pockets
i am no longer tied to a bankroll as i can refill when i go broke now which will happen more often than i would like
but i want somewhere in public that i can chart my progress and that will keep me from entering $55 Mtts which are above my abilty
away from the prying eyes of those that dont understand swings and roundabouts of poker

i primarily play on stars only because it has the best software best liquidity and i am used to it playing it since it was in beta testing before they had real money games

i have now set up my lobby to open on my favourites to stop me getting tempted into entering something i shouldn't

most of the games i will play are 45 man SNG turbos $3.5 buy in these run frequently till about 2 am then they slow down
and i will play PSKOs <5$ and PLO8 freeze <5$
there is around 1 or 2 Mtts that will open ever hour to keep me from getting bored of 45 man
i am finding it better 5 tabling on 1 screen moving tables around so that
the comps i am deeper or short stacked in i will make larger then the others
if i have had a good week on the tables and i have nothing on the next day
i will take shots at the storm big 11 and million super-sat 100 gtd
gonna drop the NLO8 hyper 6 man from my games until i get used to a faster pace
and i get over the temptation to tilt

i will also be using my new super-fast fibre broadband for catching up on films and tv that i have missed all these years being an international playboy (i mean a smoker down the pub)
so please feel free to recommend a film or program to watch i tried to watch the fellowship of the rings tonight gave up after 40 minutes and put on some elementary season 2
sundays will be NFL night during the season

i reset my sharkscope during the micro millions as a few big wins 4/5 years ago including the 12.1k win in a free-roll would mask alot
OPR doesn't include the free-roll win and the early sats that i used to play to get into bigger events
it has me up about $3k so i know i used to be able to make a slight profit but most if that is HI/LO
i might reset my sharkscope again for the diary

i will post a sharkscope of my performances before a session begins (wont have a true figure at end of play as some comps will have 12 hours plus left to play)

my goal is to have fun while not losing my shirt and any returns will be a forsyth

seems like im first! either get sky go, or putlocker lord of the rings. im actually watching lord of the rings on it now as i speak!!
ray donovan is the best show on tv atm in my opinion, and my fave of all time is boston legal. if you watch either of those, theyll keep you entertained for a while!
GLGL

i have sky go ffs my sky bill for just tv is £93+  with 2 multi room packages added on aswell
before watching anything streaming while on line gave me lag now i am fine

going to play tonight while watching the nfl
going to play the 3 sunday games i mentioned above

havent been able to reset my sharkscope as it seems like its down just now

It was offline all day yesterday, but is up again now.

Good luck with the Diary.

not a great day in the office to start off my diary

stopped playing around 11.30 when variance was kicking my ass

even the 1 cash i had resulted in 4th when i shoved AT<AA then K8<KK 2 hands later


going to play a short session tonight as off to aberdeen tomorrow for a biannual pit stop at the hospital

i played for about an hour and my mind wasnt really in it
the 2 MTTs i played went beat over beat
so decided to cut session short

great end to session wiping out all of yesterdays losses
still got the 2 MTTs to be added to the graph so -$6.60 from the

bit disappointed thats the PSKO week in 2 weeks time doesn't include the smaller comps
think i will have to have a good 2 weeks if i am going to try any of them

tempted to play the $11 HE and try and try to sat into the NLO8 82$

didnt play anything on tuesday i was shattered by the time i got back from aberdeen

played for about 6 hours tonight but was getting tired and the SNG's were starting to fill slowly so heading to bed

with just under $70 profit will shark scope in when i get up and all the games are finished

Wouldn't watch stuff and play at the same time especially if you're not that confident in your game.
GL mate

I have to watch stuff while I am playing been doing in since I started playing if I don't have a distraction from the games I start playing too many hands and spewing chips.

I have been tempted to play fm2015 at same time as I play but it involves too much thinking I am better off just watching throw away to series that I have seen before or new stuff I don't need to think deeply about

going to try and play a full 10 hours plus today so hope to get the games total up towards the 180 mark

playing last night thought i was doing ok for a nice result in the + column was a bit shocked to see i had a big loss
did ok in the scheduled games which kept the numbers of SNGs down had a win and a 2nd early in the SNGs but ended up losing alot on them
as everything else was busting early or round the bubble played only for about 8.5 hours when i decided to close down as i had bust the last scheduled event
after  throwing away good chips when i 3b a UTG raiser with a 2UTG flat caller, BB then shoved UTG shoved over and 2UTG reshoved looking at all there bountys
i decided to call off most my stack with 99 when a fold would of left me with 1.5x average stack UTG had TT 2UTG KK bb AQs kings held

finished somewhere are 80-90 out of nearly 5k i am sure i could of gotten away from the 99 not so sure about the QQ


i then got back to average stack and 3b called with QQ<AA same guy who had the KK in the hand above

the complexities of being a cripple, had only just started a session when i accidentally split a can of a well know fizzy drink over my lap, not a problem in the real world, but said drink can have a sticky effect and if allowed to dry pull the skin away when taking off the trousers. as i didnt just want to blind out while i took a 45 minute or so break to get in  the shower and dressed again i went full clothed into the shower for a minute or 2 to make sure no fizzy drink was still stuck on my skin then wound down the games (no cashes in those 5 so i might have well or just blinded out) while soaking wet, jumped in shower got changed and dressed and off to play some more

winding down the session for the night just got the 1 table open FT of a PLO8
unfortunately its just a $2 game without a gtd which made 81 runners and only $44 for the win

better news is i have more money in my account than i had when i started tonight

off to inverness for some dad dancing tomorrow night might play a few games before i leave or some to wind down with then i get home

Heads UP with monkey matt674 brings back memories

started HU he had a 2-1 chip lead slow got back to level offered him an even chop as i want to goto bed

he declined i got a KFC and a 44$ boost to roll

Now there's a blast from the blondepoker past!!

Good luck with this iron, hope it goes well.  Fwiw I do the same with the tv, 3-5 tabling mtts I find I generally play more solidly with something I'm half interested in on the tele, like you say it does tend to help stop getting involved in hands you shouldn't.

again didnt get in as many as i thought i would with the scheduled events hogging my attention

i will make a FT on one of these progressives one day i so much prefer them to straight up freezeouts

my plans for a night out in inverness tonight have just fallen through so going to play some poker

need to play around 450 more comps before the end of the year to get a $50 vip bonus which would be very nice

I don't want to sound crass, but I find these nuts and bolts aspects of your every day life fascinating. Like you say, we able bodied types wouldn't give spilling a drink a second though, but for you it's a whole new ball game

Keep on truckin' Iron. Raymond Burr would be proud of you.

keeping the skin healthy is a massive task for paraplegics, as we cant feel when we have injured ourselves we dont know about it, if its in an area that pressure goes through we could be on bed rest for months at a time. as a diabetic any injury i get takes longer than a normal paraplegic to heel.

doom switch is well and truely in place today nearly $100 in buy ins so fat and 1 min cash to show for it

guys are lining up to take pot shots at me with NE2 cards and getting there


first hand in 1 KO i got it all it with AA<66<qq<Q6o all in preflop queen 6 hits a 4 flush

dont get me wrong i am sucking out in some hands today but its with 20-40 players left

but as soon as i get to where it matters i am losing every meaningful hand

good news is i am catching up with the games played and i am not on tilt yet

wow an incredible night of downswong

i was running so bad i thought i had lost all 4 wheels on my chair

the 45 mans dried up around 2am so played a few NLO8 6 man hypers only around half dozen

finished down $130 for the night back in the saddle tomorrow going to use fpp's to buy into the big 11 and storm
hopefully i cant run as bad 2 sundays or 2 nights on the trott but we will see
will get my sharkscopes in the morning when all the games have finish

Same here, Iron.

I just can't read "poker poker poker" Diaries, but I like to read about the human side.

I'm particularly interested in "mindset" when things are going extremely well, or badly. Even for those of us who play relatively small-ball, it can be quite a challenge when we have a bit of a downswong.

I recently did a challenge to turn £200 into £1,200, which took me ages, but a chap said to me when I started "make sure you update the Diary even on bad losing days". And the truth is, when I had a few bad days in a row, I DID find it hard, embarrassing even, to Update my numbers. On winning nights, easy-peasy, could not wait to do the Update. Our minds are peculiar things.

You still enjoying your poker us much as ever? More, less?

loved the poker this last week and even on the nights when i feel i was running terrible
would be quite a boring read with just daily updates of poker unless people join in can ask
me anything really

weather is turning a bit nasty up here in "norway" and with me giving up smoking really no reason for me to leave
my dungeon till the spring so going to be grinding most of the days if i need a break i will play
something like FM15 or cycling manager or total war
infact looking forward to elite being released this month
also go myself into the NFL thanks to the blonde fantasy league "GO EAGLES"


back to yesterdays poker cashed in 2 $10 VIP bonuses last night for meeting VPP landmarks i didnt know i had
not far away from a $50 bonus so should clear that before end of month

if i am going to be playing after 2am i am going to have to add the off hyper 6 man nlo8 into the schedule
but it looks like 2am is going to have to be a time i am closing down unless i am still in a scheduled game

Iron. I don't understand all those graphs and charts. They make my eyes glaze over.

Are you winning or losing and how much?

i was up 87$ at start of play yesterday and end of play yesterday i am down $42

just bust the storn had 2x average stack and couldnt let go of KK on a 9 high flop against a guy i had slightly covered

he obviously was attached to his pocket 99 going to take a break and watch the eagles game
after i finish the current games as i felt my neighbours cat about to get kicked

gonna start playing again

dispite the near kicking the cat there was 53$ more in my account when i stopped playing

ok $22 came from the 2 tickets i bought for the bigger and the storm

right thats enough for tonight roll has about 40$ more than when i started tonight

but seeing a flop 3 handed with QQ getting it all in on a Q55 flop V KQ and 55 in a KO

then AQ<QJ  on the bubble in a 45man leaving me with less than a big blind left and in the SB
added to my woes tonight lost count of the times i shoved from LP or SB into a BB with KK or AA

made a profit on the night but it was the least fun night of the last cpl of weeks maybe it was because the eagles lost

hopefully feel refreshed tomorrow to play or will take a night of and play some games

so i was right small profit yesterday as i said 1400 fpp used instead of $22 cash so basically back at my starting roll
if you include the bonuses i claimed i have more money in my account than i started with

been a bit of a phuh day a few bubbles including a 4$ knock out bubble when i shoved 65s on button with 14 bigs knowing i would only get called by a top hand as both the blinds had less than 1 big blind more than me
obviously the big blind wasnt going to fold AK and i missed

now 8/9 on a 4$ plo8 game this time a much more respectable 224$ for the win

need to get lucky a few times and avoid getting unlucky to get a sniff of that though

didnt get lucky and busted in 9th shoving with the nut low draw and nut flush draw but the oppos top and bottom pair held to scoop

think i have finished nearly dead level  could of been better but played a hand full of hyper nlo8 and ran about as good as i would up a hlll without my wheels

charts after last night

think i might play the $11 super progressive knockout in the festival tonight

Little tricky a friend of mine mentioned with the fpps, if you use them to play sats for the Sunday storm instead of buying bonuses (assuming you've got a decent roi in them, but they are 6max hyper sngs) then you make more. Obvs it comes back as tournament money, but if you're playing comps and sngs anyway that's probs not a problem.

been told that myself i am just tez in sats

just going to finish these 2 scheduled games i am in and call it a night feeling shit

pokers been running that way aswell and i have made some shit plays to boot

good news is i won another PLO8 comp

bad news is there was only 108 runners $2 buy in so the win got me as much as winning a 45 man turbo

unless i cash in 1 of these events i will be about $20 down for the night but chances of a cash are looking bleak as i might just sit out if i feel any worse

last nights rubbish, feeling much better today going to play some day time stuff seeing as i am up awake and nothing to do

i shouldnt have played today wasnt in the mood was tilting a bit aswell 3 bet shoved 200 bigs at one point as people were annoying me

went and played some spin and goes and tilted off some money there aswell but i did win a $30 one and a few 20s so not sure how i finished on them

will work it out tomorrow when i get the sharkscope up

in better news elite dangerous is launched on tuesday so i might be a few days/weeks/months/years playing if the game is as good as the hype

only played some spin and goes last night will post the sharkscopes from thursday before i play tomorrow
going out tonight so if i play it will just be spin and goes

arggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

just got sat at a $600 spin and go $500 for winner $50 for 2,3

i get it in with 2 overs and the flush draw v 2 pair HU to come 2nd and 50$

all 4 tables that popped up in the cycle had money added makes a change from 4x10$ tables popping up every time

ok sharkscope looking nasty
lets hope i can improve it tonight

decided to use FPP to buy myself into a PSKO NLO8 game tonight there is only a few of these each week and the lowest buy in is 27.50$ so entered one of them buy buying a step 2 ticket with fpp

not played any 45 mans today bust all the MTTs early apart from the NLo8 psko

just burst the bubble i am 7/29 with 3 getting there entry money back plus bounties

3 people left without a bounty which includes me massive bounties alround me but i only just have over average stack

8/8with no bounties next smallest bounty is $85


just 1 tabling while watch nfl

at the break 7/7 but got 18 bigs now and close with 6/7 who has a 252$ bounty
think people are going ignore me unless they have a big hand as i dont have a bounty
but likely to call him lighter with his bounty

Railing gl

fml got the BB calling my preflop raise with 4c 7s 9s 8s  flop came Ts Js 4c and my set of jacks lost the flip

2nd night morning in a row i got sat in a 600$ game

but forget nados no 2nd place this time

its kfc all the way winner winner chicken dinner $500 added to my roll

Ooh, very nice, well done Iron.

ty tony i was just about to head to my bed aswell just had my breakfast and said why not have 4 more as i was up for the night

Bink!

WP Iron!!

thanks guys

last nights graph didnt play any 45 mans

going to play a few spins before settling down to grind tonight

just noticed there is a NLO8 psko on again tonight must be a nightly thing so as i am on a roll high at the moment i am going to play it again

pretty much broke even yesterday which is amazing as i started feeling a bit ill around 8/9ish so played on till i bust and was in my bed by 11

not much to play being up at this time of day so will spin unltill games pick up

not really played much this past week when i have been playing i have been losing and stopping

will post the sats either tomorrow or sunday depending on how many games i play tonight

Iron, how do you keep track of these $1m sit and goes.  Sharkscope doesn't track them and they just get lost in my daily grind.  I am just playing a few when the Hypers are dying, but would be good to know I was breaking even.  The standard seems so bad that I figure I should be at least break even but would be good to check somehow.   Guess I could just write to stars?

dont think they are trackable would love to be able to find a way to see how i am doing apart from the big win they have been great for my vpps
i have been playing them alot when i am short tabled or just not in the mood for a 3-4 hour session

made a mistake tonight bought a ticket for the $27 omania istead of the step 2 for the super knock out
emailed stars hoping they will swap it over as i am not found of the 8.80 omania the $27 might be a bit much
mind you it wont be much different from the knockout except faster

ok i have only gone and done it again
started winding down the tables about an hour ago as i was getting tired
everything is now over expect the 2$ plo8 game that i am 2/6 in i have won this twice out of 12 goes
there is only 20 buy ins for the win less that i get for a win in the 45 man turbos
maybe i have found my true level lol

this has 15 minute blinds and an ideal struture for me playing hi/lo i dont just want to throw the chance of 3/3 wins per cashes in it

damm failed to make it a hattrick came 3rd

when we got 3 way i had ~10k they both had ~40k
got it so we were all level on ~30k when i raised from sb, bb called flop had come k23 i raised got called turn comes 2  i am sat there with 22233 i pot to take him off his low draw
he flats we get it all in on river he is sat with KK222 no way i could get away from hand i dont think

Couldn't you just make a note of your balance before starting the session, check Sharkscope for everything else and the difference is p/l for those ?

yeah that would be a good idea as sharkscope covers everything else i am playing

Should probably do this, but tend to do my accounts weekly, play rebuys and the exchange rate changes.   Guess I can get close enough to make sure I am not spewing hundreds. 

only played just over 100 games total over the last week

not a profitable week but i gave gotten my staple game of the 45 mans back into the black
and the $2 PLO8 with a slow structure seems to be running good dont think there is anything else with 15 minute levels anywhere near by buy in level

ok i have been putting it off for years but i need to get a HUD not sure witch one is best or what the stats mean but i am starting to see the same names again and again

when i first started playing i was 1 tabling and i could remember names and significant hands but now as i multi table i am not noticing the names and long gone has
remember the hands past a cpl of hours this should also help with looking over hands rather than noting hands down and requesting hand histories

problem i have is at present i dont even know if i can make break even over a stretch never mind make a profit

is there software out there you can buy a one off i remeber doing that years ago for poker tracker or something that got superseeded
or is it all monthly subscriptions now?

Holdem manager used to do a free trial, though I don't use a HUD so no idea if they still do

damm was running nicely in the 4$ PSKO but bust in 73rd 2 hands killed me not sure if i should of left the hands alone

QTdd on button 3 bet the CO open flopped top pair so did he with his king kicker and he check raised me
the
QJCC in the big big and 15 bigs min raise from CO i flat Q high flop and his KQ held

not that many games played yesterday with me getting into the money in a few of the scheduled games kept the numbers down in the sngs
the sngs i did play didnt get many cashs or bigger cashes

Both Pokertracker and Holdem Manager have free trial options, so you can get 30 days for free off each before deciding.

You can automatically convert databases too, but Pokertracker is a lot more efficient at it I have found. So it's easier to use a Holdem Manager trial, and then use the Pokertracker 4 trial as PT4 will auto import your previous hands from HEM.

I use PokerTracker 4 but it's purely a preference. I find it cleaner and a bit more snappy. It costs something like $120 for both the holdem and Omaha versions. You can get it cheaper for about $60 by just buying the Omaha side of it, but it never hurts to have both.

There are striaght up purchases and you don't have to pay per month to use them as you're building your own databases on your own PC. There is a cloud based storage option on Holdem manager but if you're only playing on one PC then you don't really need to pay monthly for that. They also have a few monthly subscription apps but for the core program you're only paying once.

thanks for some reason i thought they were monthly subs

i will have a look at both

i am needing some help from the hi/lo experts

i know the pot limit and limit games quite well and have had some success but i am struggling
to convert my game to the no limit version especially when deep
tonight i am getting people 3 bet and open shoving into pots with just a cpl of hundred chips in it with 3k+
this is preflop tonight i folded AQ23ds after i had opened it was 3 bet shoved and called before it got back to me
it what turned out to be a losing hand but in a pot limit game i would of been able to see the texture of the board

not long after i get AA24ds raise 2utg with an utg limper of course he shoves his A668 single suit and hits a 6
and no low came

obviously the hands play themselves but i think i need more help in picking out hands to play pre as alot of my play is post flop deep
and then preflop when we get shallower

not going to enjoy my sharkscope tomorrow i think i am over 100 down for the night and then i bought some tickets with FPPs
went to look for an old game i used to play the 18 man PLO8 SNGs then remembered why i stopped playing them
because stars started NLO8 SNGs played a cpl of the nlo8 one might do this for a cpl of weeks atleast as they should
help me with my ranges

onlu 40 games last night and 100$+ loss

nothing went right bluffs went into nuts , 2nd nuts into nuts value bets into the nuts

i even had quads beat by quads

and the omaha hi lo was even worse

just been out for a lovely dinner with 2 fantastic ladies but now home and going to beat up the regs

singalong with ironside
YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBvgX6j-1a0

pics of ladies?

didnt take any pics tonight but this is a pic from my birthday of zoe (on the right) who i had dinner with today along with her 6 year old daughter

Cant be right???  Must be Left.

lady on left is sarah whom i have known since the 80s and is my regular dancing partner on a saturday in inverness
although her taste in music is a little bit more modern than mine i am just glad the radio in my car has a control on the steering wheel

going to stop for the night very short session up around 70 or 80 bucks i think from less than 30 games

ffs spent the whole night belting out songs while i played started off with Christmas songs
moved onto show tunes and classics i now have a this as an ear worm and cant get it out of my head
worried incase i might be turning gay well apart from liking men
i was reassured by zoe that i could never be mistaken for being gay

not many games last night but small profit is always good

been out tonight might play a few sngs before bed

but if i do will only be a dozen or so

i will put off any updates till after christmas eve poker night in

i love the new system on stars where the better players out themselves

was HU with a guy in a 18 man NLo8 when he chimes up that i should be playing higher stakes
then tells me he is the best player at upto 15$ no limit sng
i was like yeah really heard it all before everyone thinks they are the best
and if you was one of the better players you wouldnt tell someone about it at the tables
i shark scoped him and sure enough 51k profit over 24k games
with the vast majority of them being hilo SNG
well thats one less person to worry about working out if they know what a low is

I lolled Davey,

Iron had dinner with Zoe (on the right) and her 6 year old daughter, I assume.

Merry Xmas to you both

Geo

Just knew this was always quantum. Only a matter of time before he switches, and you are a complete lucksack and the biggest fish ever.  He is too good to play us at the hypers obv.

Yeah you got him named xquatum or something like that

i am disapointed i havent played 1000 games yet was thinking i would be playing 3000 in a month
but the scheduled events hog the time and unless you get a top 3 in one of them they aint that good for profit

Tight is right in o8 Iron, whether plo8 or nlo8.

The main differences between the two are that with 12-20bb in nlo8 we can profitably jam hands that would be a bit trickier to play in plo8, hands like aqj5ss from the HJ in plo8 might be a fold for 20bb whereas we can just rip it in in the NLO8 stuff. I dont think your ranges should change too dramatically between the two. Judging how your opponents play is one of the harder things, most regulars you can fold many hands too, but the fish tend to be absolutely bananas, so sometimes you just have to call off these huge shoves. I lost a big pot to 9875r on sunday in the 82 o8, but I didn't recognise the guy so calling off A23Jds (i think) felt correct for 28bb.

this hand has been troubling me since i folded it
i went on to win the game
and would of won the hand
i know its an insta fold
but surely they are all sharing cards making it more likely AA will hold up
lets say the 8h was the 2s is anyone calling now?

If the 8 was a 2 you couldn't pay me to fold but o8 is a funny game and I wouldn't be particularly happy flicking it in here. Get ppt out and found out though!

Quantum is  weird guy, good at the game though, just a bit bananas, particularly him and Billy g

was cruising the $3.50 HE and hi/lo
but struggling on the $7 hi/lo

i dont think the standard is much different think its just variance
but hoping to sort it out before it becomes a mental problem

started to feel the effects of some wine i had tonight and made some silly calls

I never fold AA with any low.  I don't want to find out it is bad even if it is.  I have folded AA with High cards before.  Biood would never fold it and he will tell you he is the boss now bokkie doesn't play so much.

well the 8 is a low would you have called there doobs?

yep, I just can't bring myself to fold. 

i did hate myself when i did it especially when i would of scoop with tens full of aces and we would of got past the bubble
but as it happened we moved on still 6 handed

i just couldnt see a way to win surely all the aces would be out so we are looking for 1 pair winning hands 4 handed there isnt many boards 1 pair can win
we have one flush draw and can only make 1 straight we rarely win the low and if we do win the low we aren't winning the high
i can see a reason for calling if its just shorty and 1 other but 2 others i think we are in trouble

remember we are 1/6 at start of hand and likely to still be 1/6 2/5 2/4 after the hand and still with healthy stack to apply pressure and win
calling and losing will put the pressure on us

here is end of hand and twodimes verdict

I don't think putting in one of the worst hands for you is a better way of looking at it.  People do play terribly all the way up the levels.  I think if you want to look at ranges, get rid of the short stack (he isn't ever damaging you) and assume this kind of thing.

http://www.propokertools.com/simulations/show?g=o8&h1=Ahaskh8c&h2=A2%2A%2C+a3%2A%2CAk%2A%2C+kk%2A%2C+Aa%2A&h3=A2%2A%2C+a3%2A%2C+Ak%2A%2C+Kk%2A%2C+Aa%2A&s=generic (http://www.propokertools.com/simulations/show?g=o8&h1=Ahaskh8c&h2=A2%2A%2C+a3%2A%2CAk%2A%2C+kk%2A%2C+Aa%2A&h3=A2%2A%2C+a3%2A%2C+Ak%2A%2C+Kk%2A%2C+Aa%2A&s=generic)

Under that something like 50% of the time you find yourself 4th or 5th.  But 25% of the time you are locked for 1st and the rest you'd struggle to miss 2nd.

You could probably adjust for people just going loopy by adding 55** to their ranges.  

Edit.  That still makes you 50% or so to go 4th or 5th.  I think it is fair to assume biood never has a spew hand.  

Ok I am already tucked up in bed for the night and out tomorrow so I am going to this chapter of my diary with the final sharkscope tomorrow.

I will then reduce my roll to $300 to start the new year and the new chapter
At the end of each month I will either add money to the account to reach 300$ or withdraw 50% of any profit on the month hopefully I will do the later more often than the former and hopefully this time next year I will have moved up in cost of buy ins

my viewing pleasure over the last month has been elementary, NFL and the equalizer TV series.

i have now finished the equalizer and i am upto date with elementary so i am going to start of the new year

with one of these options of tv series of which have watch before but not in order and not every episode

highlander
tour of duty
the a team
knightrider
new tricks
hustle
taxi
las vegas (although i certain i have seen all of this in order i an not sure)

along side which i will catch up on criminal minds i am at the start of season 9


i also still have frasier and west wing to watch i have the box sets but not seen a single show


the poker shows a near $200 loss but having used fpp's it does seem to have made a dent in the roll and the spin and goes i am up about 250$ i guess if it wasnt for the lucky 2 spins of $600 games i would be down in them too


going to start off the new year just playing the 3.5$ sng omaha8 and 45 nan holdem and unless my roll gets to 700$ i will only play them

i will post sharkscopes weekly and put my daily roll count in my sig

if anyone wants to recommend stuff for me to view please feel free to let me know

great start to the new year for me aberdeen go top of the league
and the saints beat arsenal to remain in the top 4
i couldn't of imagined this at the beginning of the season

just one more thing


thats right i went for columbo even though it wasnt on the list

still havent played a single game yet, and tonight i was going to play but decided to go to inverness, non dad wheelchair dad dancing, with zoe


and when non dad dad dancing becomes an Olympic sport i will enter the parallel games 

after going out for dinner and treating my parents tonight i am all set and raring to go
choice for food tonight was Worcester  sauce along with sirloin steak onion rings and chips
 just going to play the $3.50 sngs as i am pretty sure i can beat these
starting roll for the year is $300

tv viewing i am going to start with more columbo

Gl with the grind, putting in fifty50 games would be cool aswell, they do run but not on a massive scale but you should be able to crush the game and maintain a good roi

Hey Ironside,

Gl with the new year!

I've only seen one or two episodes of Columbo, he'd be great at poker!

Just talk people into confessing their hands...
 

not quite feeling 100% so cutting session short only played 24 games roll $355.88

thanks
dont think 50/50 are my style i am very aggressive and build stacks that allow me to finish in the top spots when i do cash
and i also bust out early a lot i am not very good at sats for this reason also i will take 50/50s early to build a stack
rather than struggling along without chips and squeaking into the minor places


thanks i am really loving columbo he knows who dun it from the minute he walks into a room and befriends the murderer to get them behind bars

that post by shipitgood has me thinking

i watch monk and elementary etc etc

the thing that really puzzle me is do american cops use free lance investigators?

i cant really see the cops allowing someone access to there crime scenes like they allow sherlock and watson in elementary or even monk

didnt stop me enjoying watching the programs just makes its a little stupid

1 bad thing about going to my bed early last night is ii am wide awake and nothing to do today so going to play for a cpl of hours hopefully there will be games starting

decided seeing i was up so early to watch the hopman cup GBvfrance

the streams i found online set off my virus software so went to find out if any of the online bookies had it streamed

365 did and so i went about retrieving my account last used when THM used to host comps there when they were sponsored by prima

just for a laugh i hit the bet max button to see how scared they are of me

safe to say they are not scared of me they dont mind laying some chunky 4 and 5 figure bets now all i need is a 4 or 5 figure roll to test them out

finishing for the night played 3 small sessions today total games now stands at 70 and roll at $378.30

i am also finished the first season of columbo and half way through the 2nd

problem i am having with columbo is that it is taking away my attention and i am having to rewind parts as
the smallest things are where he springs his magic but while i am still winning i will stick with it

played for 6 hours this evening started watching columbo then went onto tour of duty and then finished back on columbo

i thought i was playing and running well early but after 4 hours i was nearly 90$ down i was getting lucky and hands holding early in games
and as soon as we approached the money i would start losing flips and 80/20s

finished the night on $360.88 so nice recovery


off to the hospital for a routine appointment at lunch time tomorrow then going to check out some shops for a new PC i am after
i know this one is just 15 months old but my folks PC is on its last legs and i am going to donate this one to them

i am then meeting up with a group of friends for some fish and chips in a beachside bar

might give playing a miss tomorrow depending on how i feel when i get back

if you was buying a new PC today what version of windows would you put on it?

Win 7.

Windows 8 is the devil.

i dont have many problems with windows 8 but then again didnt have problem with windows 7 either

just "buck fizzing" if i should play or not tonight but good news is i won $1 in a daily challenge HU all in shoot up

serious case of man flu i cant see me playing for a few days


saw taken 3 last night in cinema wasnt that bad a film though it needed one more twist in it but wont say what to spoil the fun for those that havent seen it

i am in a really good mood today life is good

man flu is stopping me from playing still

Hope the man 'flu soon disappears Iron.

If only women knew how we suffer, eh?

Great post.

I'm in a good mood too Iron.

You know that song 'Perfect Day'? Well I had one of those yesterday. Nothing much really happened, but it was pretty perfect all the same, and that song kept running through my head.

Today is going along the same lines.

Hi Iron

Wheres your fav port of call in the those parts - Im up here this weekend and might be out.

this weekend as long as the roads are ok i will be through on saturday about 9 or 10

starting off in private eyes or the caledonian then onto vinyl (80's nightclub)
with 3 or 4 trips to macdonalds your more than welcome to join me

last cpl of nights i have been watching hamish macbeath on my tv well away from the temptation on playing poker

feeling much better today but going to finish of hamish before starting back on the poker tomorrow

Might find my way to the caledonian - i like the phoenix or blacksmiths down that way

 :)

really disappointed at how little i have played but its got alot to do with being a little under weather and not in mood too play


going to play for a cpl of hours this afternoon

not heard of them 2 bars but we tend to stick to same cpl of bars when we go through

auctioneers gunsmiths johnny foxes, all in that part of town saves messing about getting in and out of car all night

short but sweet session stopping for dinner

$383.62

going to play another short session this evening before getting an early night

going to start off by watching "Lean on me" with morgan freeman haven't seen many of his films but those i have seen i have liked

thats me finished for the day final roll is now $377.20 loss on the evening but profit for day


have to say Lean on Me was a great film realised i had seen before it after about 5 minutes
but carried on and watched it anyway would give it 4* out of 5 in its genre

what a horrid day, had over 100$ invested before i got my first cash finishing roll $343.21

tv viewing has me finished the 3rd series on columbo

was just having a look at my stats after last night

i actually thought i was losing on the NLO8 and winning on the 45 NLHE
but shows you how little notice i take of the losses and wins while playing

says on my stats that my biggest losing streak is 25 games which works in with the $100 spent before my first cash of day

going to play while watching saints game then on with coloumbo

well the saints win great news but not a single cash so far today

did get one bubble to rub salt into the wounds of my roll

hopefully colombo will help me out

well think i might have broken the 25 games without cashing

on my 26th -31st games now for the day


good news is one of the is itm

3 hours of turbo SNGs without a cash is demoralising

Afternoon.

I was up late or until early hours and railed you fro a good 45 mins in the spin and go's. Didn't want to chat and ruin your mojo but how are they treating you?  You looked to be about even for the time i was following you. What is the biggest prize you have competed for in the $5's i think i saw one $30?  I assume the colour of the table changes for each prize pool award?

horrid night last night roll was down to $205.25 when i decided to quit for night
then read an email saying i could get a non deposit bonus so activated it

i wont get that bonus cleared in the time scale playing SNG's so went and played spin and go's lost 60$

not sure if i should play more spin and go's in attempt to get the bonus or not or just stick to the SNGs

will make the $60 i lost on the spin and go's up through a transfer from tilt (using it like a 2nd bank account)




page 3/4 has some screen shots of the 2 $600 games i got into 24 hours apart

http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=64595.msg2005183#msg2005183

didnt get anything over $30 last night and even they were rare more often than not it was 4x$10 tables opening with the occasional $20 or $30


i have 3189 fpps i am going to go for it tonight and try and spin them up with buy ins the the 27$ NLO8 super progressive KO and the storm and big 11

i will play some SNG's at same time

page 3/4 has some screen shots of the 2 $600 games i got into 24 hours apart

Very pretty

just posting this here for me to look over later

think i lost the minimum helped by villain leading the river

http://www.boomplayer.com/en/poker-hands/Boom/12597490_CAB9BB9B80

That Boom hand was pretty brutal, could'nt of played it any differently!

should of bet more on turn but that could of lead to me busting

I think your fairly deep so the bet size is okay, your betting for value at this point and don't want second pair type of hands to fold. And like you said if you bet. 3/4 of pot you would of got stacked

just bust the bigger 11 with this hand no idea what he was calling for on the flop

but he hits the perfect card for his hand to give him the draws on the turn
hits on the river and busto

http://www.boomplayer.com/en/poker-hands/Boom/12601202_164C101CC9

going to finish off the 2 45 man games i am in then take a break maybe for an hour maybe for a cpl of days maybe a week

:( we will get them next time!

going to jump back into the shark tank

decided i am going to quit for the night and just want the NFL from my pit

getting guys limping in with toss and then calling for another 12 big blinds is becoming tilting

http://www.boomplayer.com/en/poker-hands/Boom/12606110_D40B0F3FE4


roll $195.28

i am in such a great mood today which isnt surprising seeing as aberdeen are still top of league, southampton are still 3rd in EPL

and i am getting to pick my new pc either end of this week or beginning of next and i have been sorting out files to transfer to it

and sorting out this pc for my dad (its likely worth £300-400 but giving as present as they are worth it

last night i emailed stars to removed a ticket i got in a promo nearly 4 years ago to play in a sat
but the ticket is now worthless as i missed the sat

today i got an email back asking me to let them know which ticket i wanted removed (i only have 1 unused ticket)
and to confirm i wanted it marked as spent, i hope my reply is met by someone with a sense of humour
they also called me by first name which i try not to use

i am back in the saddle playing the Sng's tonight

just spent 2 hours moving files from one drive to anotehr on 2 different pcs
both are ready to be formatted and clean copies of windows put in

going to start playing to the power of 3 if i am down 3 figures for buy ins i will stop registering
for the day unless i cash in comps i have open and get back to under 3 gigure losses
if i am up by 3 figures i will finish the games i am on and take a break of atleast 30 minutes

$167.59 roll at end of play

back into profit in the NLO8 but running like a cripple in NLHE 45 man

my favourite game today was a pure bubble when at blinds of 400/800 and 12 players i called with AKss in bb
i lost the race but had 40 chips left i managed to get upto 4k when we made FT i was lying 8/9
i was big blind and had 77 button raises to 3k sb throws in his 2900 i shove
button had AK sb 88 king on river seals my fate pure bubble and a wasted 5 minutes after nearly going out 12th

gonna concentrate mainly on the NLO8 today i was back winning with them yesterday even though i didn't think i was
i will play a few NLHE to start with so i can get 5 tables up quicker and will only reg nlhe when the NLO8 are slower to fill

going to be short session tonight got a routine visit to hospital tomorrow at 12 then hang around in town all day for dentist at 5.15
and dinner date at 6pm

118.17$

off to bed

bad day when you see blonde SNG pros on your table

$74.84 ever since i applied for the bonus i have gone on a downswing
might just wait for it to expire lol

another losing day roll 24.56

put 50$ on to play some spin and goes

that went well doubled up to $100 in quick time

going for an early night

got new pc today so poker is taking a back seat

you heading through to sneckie tomorrw?

i was meant to be but forecast for snow over night so everyone has pulled out

so here i am with an all singing all dancing new PC installed windows 7 and to tell you the truth as much as i hated parts of win 8 i am missing it

apart from the silly apps etc the filing system was so much better

i now need to go find an email program to garner all my emails without having to log into different webpages every day

think i might give poker a miss for next few weeks running like tosh anyway and likely playing badly due to it

and i want to have a serious bash at some of my games on this machine

no snow - wimps

yeah all the snow from last night has melted
wish i was out though sorting out 3 pcs all with different operating systems and 2 in unaccessable rooms has done my nut in

right tonight i am going to start a FM2015 game

not sure of what team to play or the goal i want to set

thinking of starting with Elgin City my local side although i hate them with a passion as a Lossiemouth fan they were our local rivals before they got into league football
aim would be to start with the experiance of a sunday league player and to move up  to either managing aberdeen or southmapton to euro glory
or even making elgin one of the biggest teams in scottish football

So you support 3 teams? Any more?

i am a fan of 4 teams i no longer support any havent been to a game in 12 years

my first team was Lossiemouth when i moved back to scotland from cyprus i stayed 200 yards from the ground
i was 7 years old and i liked to be different Lossiemouth were always at the bottom or close to bottom of the league

when i moved from lossie at age of 8 i started to follow Aberdeen as the were the closest "Big Team"
when my brother was old enough to come with me we got season tickets and went to every home game
with a supporters club in buckie or with the pub in the next village if they were running a bus
when i started playing wheelchair basketball in aberdeen i would goto games after a training session
week in week out myself and my mate (rangers fan) would be sat in the away end as there was a waiting list
for tickets in the dick donald stand, but come a game v the old firm we couldnt get tickets
this pissed my mate off so we stopped going just before my 2nd spinal injury and i quit playing basketball

i also liked and admired Keegan as a player so when he came back to the UK with Southampton i started following them again it was against the majority who followed the big teams
i managed to go see them once while i was in my junior training in 1987 i also when to see them play at the dell with my brother sometime in the late 90s
and for to see them play aberdeen in 2003 so i would class myself as a fan/follower rather than supporter


i also follow Scunthorpe it started because it was Keegan's first clubs but how can i not follow a team called the Irons?


there is only one possible conflict in the teams i follow and that became confusing when my big team and little team in england swap roles a few seasons back

OH yeah as macho man randy savage would say

just found window live mail for windows 7 how come i never found this when i had win 7 on my laptop

just downloaded all my emails from my 5 bt accounts 60,000 unread emails alot in junk folders
any that was import would of been read online but i never deleted any email online


i started a FM2015 game last night but got sidetracked and havent done anything with it yet

local news for me is this hedge

(http://www.scotsman.com/webimage/1.3670048.1422067051!/image/543975157.jpg_gen/derivatives/articleImgDeriv_628px/543975157.jpg)


65ft tall and i have never seen it

it could be alot smaller after next week so i think i need to go get a photo or 2 by it

http://www.scotsman.com/news/environment/first-hedge-rage-case-as-65ft-trees-cause-anger-1-3670049

Insane hedge

got involved with fixing a few laptops for a cpl of friends this week
just basic health checks and speeding them up removing rogue programs etc

i love this sort of thing there are some beautiful programs out there that are a bitch to find and remove
and dont show up in virus scans as technically they are legit programs

also taken a break from columbo  and i am going through New Tricks gone through 1-6 series and half way through series 7

Think you will need to drive down to Blairgowrie to get a photo of the hedge in that picture.

yeah so i am told scotsman bad journalism going to have to go find it now though just to see what its like

11 series of new tricks now completed

not sure what to watch next

I assume you've seen the original Law & Order?

nope not even heard of it which is unusual if its a popular cop series

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_%26_Order

That's the original series. There's over 400 episodes.

There were also 4 spinoff series, one of which started in 1999 and is still going today...if you do download and it turns out you like them - that should keep you going for some time :)

i got every episode of prisoner of cell block h to get through got them on my hard drive 128gb downloaded that back when i only had 6mb download speed but only got through 10 shows so far

finally managed to get elite downloaded and working proper tonight been meaning to set it up proper since launch night but i kept getting errors so waited for my this pc to come
now i just need to find a joystick or something to use to play it

Yeah wheelchair bods are coming to put brake on my chair today, only been 9 days since it broke. I am kinda lucky that I can cope without a brake some people would of been confined to there beds for a week and a bit

i hear netflix have commissioned a prequel to breaking bad

after all the fuss i might need to add breaking bad to my to watch list

new tricks is finished still half way through columbo but starting on different strokes with gary coleman
dont think todays generation would understand the problems that the programs brings up

wow my viewing for the past 2 weeks has been disappointing
haven't really watched anything and i am now addicted to fifa15

i never really got into fifa on the PC thought it was hard to control a player but bought myself an x box controller
and i am now killing the game (ok only against the bot)
i havent worked out half the things you can do but i am getting there after 4 days play

last week my folks were away so rather than destroying there kitchen to cook a bad meal for myself
i had a week of lovely ladies to go out for dinner with  then dump them at there home so i could get home and play fifa

meanwhile my knee has decided that i have been healthy too long and has decided to swell up to double normal size
has turned a nasty shade of red and yellow (bit like a stale bruise) and is emitting enough heat to heat a small 3rd world country like englandshire


miracles happen though was first person on the phone to the health centre today and managed to get an appointment so off to see if they save me
or should i be put down by the vet

Grrr docs sent me to a&e he thinks I will likely be kept it, must of twisted my knee not felt it and it's picked up an infection so they  will likely drain it an put me on a anti biotic drip

Bugger

Hopefully they will be able to fix you up Alistair.

Wouldn't want those Scotlandish ladies to be deprived of your company for too long.

Get well soon buddy.

Just caught up on your diary Iron. Nice to see it's not all poker now so I'll stick around until it goes back to shit like "played for 8 hours, won 4 quid..... blah blah blah....."

How do you cope with things like your knee problem? Is it a case of having to make a habit of regular visual checks to see what's going on? I remember reading about a lady who had her foot eaten by her dog, not sure if it's an urban legend but obviously easy to see how these things can happen!!

Get well soon mate!!

I'll likely not be playing poker for another month or so

I get regular check ups at a spinal clinc and diabetic clinc
Diabetic podiatrist sees me every 2-4 weeks

When I notice something wrong likea blister on foot I have to get a health centre appointment that day

Both paraplegia and diabetics are bad healers so combined  it's worse

I can do damage to myself and not notice it as I don't feel the pain so with my knee I likely
Damaged it early last week just wrote it off as a knock but it's picked up a virus under the skin
And my knee is red and yellow can fry an egg on it so hot and twice normal size

They are just waiting for a bed to be cleared for me and I will be admitted already got drip in

all the best, hope you are not in too long

the expectation isn't a month is it?

Hope its nothing too serious mate, get well soon!

Expectation is 2-3 days I feel fine it's my knee that's unwell and as I can feel it I feel no pain, likely that's why it's got bad

Hospital wifi doesn't like poker so blonde is banned fml will have to flirt badly with the nurses to pass time as I won't sleep if I am feeling ok.
I roll so good I will get male nurses

I am climbing walls already being in hospital is bad enough when I feel unwell but is real bad when I feel fine

Get well soon iron, wouldn't want you stuck in hospital still on Sunday, and you miss your team getting beat :)

Found saints v spurs u21 live stream on youtube to watch while i wait to be admitted 0-0 just now

Hope you feel a lot better soon mate

Grr was hoping to get out today!!! Still need anti biotics via a drip review tomorrow could still nee surgery but might get out without the need

Only one thing for it going to the wrvs cafe for bacon and sausage in a roll

Get well soon, Ironside

Another 24 on a drip getting bored now

Got good news and bad news

Good news my knee is much better

Bad news i picked up a bug running a temp over 38' and cant get home yet.

Good news is atleast i am feeling ill so dont mind being here

Looks like i could be in a big longer was feeling good untill friday when i started feeling ill been running a temp all weekend on 3 different anti biotics and a drip in my neck called a central line also oxygen mask as my oxygen is low on the plus side i aint so bored as i am dozing alot

Get well soon, saving a fortune on the Hypers no doubt.  Good job I never introduced you to CAP.  Don't even think about BTW, absolutely nobody wins other than Amaya.

Hope you're home soon, Iron!

Get well soon Iron and hopefuly not to long till your up the road!

For 3rd time in 4 days I am about to get a 1time only anti biotic that your meant to take 1 dose of once but it's slowly working

Get well Iron.

PS- Do it soon.

Hope you are soon out and about, Mr Alistair.

its going to be closer to a month that a week i believe and 7-8 weeks recovery at home

Wohoo plan of attack is home on sunday that will be 14 days in here

Excellent news Iron. You must have cool knees.

Always the trooper, hope you get well and back home soon buddy

Geo

Central line drip thingymyjig taken out of my neck, after receiving some heavy duty anti biotics killing some bugs that could of been in my body years if not decades.

Onto some run of mill anti biotics now  to be taken orally so getting out today

Still feeling a little week but fist time sat in my chair in a week can't wait to get home

2hrs 11 minutes and counting till discharge

been home 20 hours now had the best night sleep i have had in over 2 years
going to take a few weeks to get back to normal from this hopefully i can
get over the other health problems i have been having before the bB

its been 10 days since i got out of hospital and finally i am mobile again. well only drove to health centre and back (20 mile round trip)

in the mean time i ended up playing Civiliaztion V for nearly every wakening minute while returning 2 old vista PCs to out the box settings

got an email from stars last night offering me 21$ in free tickets to $3 spin and goes, all 7 were $6 jobbies and i got $24 to show for it

also told me if i deposit £33 i would get a free bonus cash amount upto $10,000 i tried it but the code didnt work will try again tomorrow
no plans on using it at present as my health isnt anywhere near close to being ready for playing but £99 over next 3 weeks and the bonus cash will be a good starting point
for a roll if/when i decide to play poker again i could be lost to Civ,total war elite and FIFA

Welcome back Iron.

Glad to see you on the mend Iron

Still having to go to health centre every day for dressing change so not planning to start playing poker till that stops. Hoping to get back to Inverness for some non dad dad dancing next Saturday. Been missing that much more than poker. CIV V has been running on my machine 24/7 best £10 I have spent in a long time.

Iron old boy,

i fully appreciate that CIV is ruling your life right now, but have you tried the new Elite game yet? i wanting to know if it's worth the 50 quid or so

Mick

PS, hope you're feeling better day by day

i am still on the tutorial for elite its much easier to control the ship now i have a game pad just finding it hard to get into it i am assuming because i am not used to the combat side of gaming

you know you live in a rural area when local rag reports "the traffic was backed up in both directions" along with this article

Haha fight fight fight

Why why why, was looking forward to watching a new film tonight. I had a choice of hundreds on sky on demand and thousands on the Internet. Threw on sky on came ' a few good men' so half way through watching it for the millionth time. I will watch some must watched films one day.

OK. List 3 "Must Watch" films and get them watched,

You have until next Tuesday.

True Romance is on TCM 9pm Thursday, one of my favourites.

Glad to see you're on the mend Iron.

i got tonnes of "must watch" films basically everything from 1990 onwards ok i have watched a few comedies but apart from that my viewing is all pre 1990

i can now class myself as officially addicted to CIV 5
had to be up at 10.30 this morning so planned on going to bed around 1.30
so at 4.30 i finally manged to haul myself to bed while leaving my bottle of water on top of fridge
so around 8.30 i sort of woke up felt around my bed side table for my drink couldnt feel it
then i remembered i lost a city in CIV last night and blamed the fact the bottle wasnt on my table
on the fact i must have left it in the city when it was captured and lost to the world
then rolled over and went back to sleep

when i finally did wake i was a little dehydrated and the incident came rushing to my mind

You're not shoving pencils up your nose, wearing underpants on your head and saying "Wibble" by any chance are you?

(https://media.licdn.com/mpr/mpr/p/1/005/070/000/12b22a7.jpg)

i went mad a long time ago think it was something like 2 minutes after meeting you lol

ok i have loaded up the hunt for red october, patriot games followed byclear and present danger into my windows media player and i will watch the first 3 jack ryan films while playing civ tonight and watch the sum of all fears tomorrow (not got shadow recruit will see if its on sky later)

4 films i havent seen but been told i must watch will be watched before i wake on monday

change of plan

going to watch kill bill 1 and 2 tonight instead of the jack ryan films

Started watching kill bill last night but turned it off after the hospital scene way to violent for me, think I might just have to miss out on tarentino's films

Ended up watching the 2014 film equaliser violent but most of it left to the imagination

how is your health now?

back at home?

yeah been home about a month, going to attempt a night out tonight with sarah, last time we were out i ended up taking her to a&e at 7 am with a punctured lung she got out a week later the day i went in

 

Full story plz.

you asked for it

went out on 14th of feb with sarah, ellie and sandy. we had tickets to see a dire straights tribute act. Went for dinner first, 30 minutes after sandy ordered our food i went to see why it hadn't arrived seemingly sandy had been told there was a 30 minute wait for food when he ordered. Anyway another 30 minutes and we decided to just go as the gig had started, i went to get money back and as i was at the bar speaking to the duty manager the food arrived COLD. Got the money back, went to the gig hungry, met up with the rest of the crowd. When gig finished back of 10 we decided to go clubing, i went to a 80s club the others went to another club, at 1 am sandy and ellie came and met me in the club they couldnt find sarah. 10 minutes later sarah turned up saying see was feeling ill and wanting the keys for car so she could sit and wait. We just left then i wanted to take her to A&E but she wouldnt let me, all the way home in the car she was moaning in pain. I dropped off sandy and ellie and told sarah again i wanted to take her to A&E but she wasnt having it so dropped her at her house at 2am. I got home and started to unwind from the red bulls. At 6am i was starting to get myself sorted for bed, she text me just after that saying she needed to goto A&E, but she couldnt speak, and could hardly breathe, so i jumped in car drove 25 minutes to her house picked her up, waited as it took her 10 minutes to get in my car, drove to A&E waited for the 10 minutes while she got out the car. I then went parked and followed her in, she had been seen, and off for an xray, she had seemingly broken her ribs which punctured her lungs. It only then came out she had slipped on a wet floor in her high heels, then sat by my car for 20 minutes before coming looking for me. Anyway i text her sister who came to sit with her and i eventually got to my bed around 12.

Following week i went to health centre my knee was 3 times its normal size and black and blue, i thought i must of knocked it and it was bruised, but nope the doc sent me to A&E and i got admitted to the hospital 1 hour before she left with an infection to my knee.


you regretting asking now lol

anyway we went out last night got to inverness for 11pm we were in the car heading home before midnight as i vommited in the toilets, luckly i felt ok on the drive home till i was about 10 miles from home and had to pull over to vomit again.

as the football season draws to a close for what has been a very good season for both aberdeen and southampton despite no silverware, i was recently reminded of a bet i made with another blonde for £1 a point with the line set at 13.5 for aberdeen v celtic it looks like its going to the wire  and with aberdeen given the home tie after the split (not sure how they work out who gets home and who away but i thinking its random rather than who has only had the 1 home game earlier in season)

its going to be an interesting close season for both my teams with hopefully the dons bolstering there squad and seeing if the saints can hold onto koeman and the squad

countdown the the NFL season is drawing closer i think its may the draft will kick things off, i am looking forward eagerly to this season for the first time, playing fantasy football took over my weekends last season and now i have a season behind me i hope to get more involved with the scouting etc and maybe even find another league to play in

finally managed to watch hunt for red october, audio is so bad on the film i though my disc was broken i tried to watch from several different sources but the audio was as bad in all places so at 4 am this morning with no distractions i put it on and watched most of it watching the end when i woke up

very predictable IMHO with them basically giving the plot away in the opening sequence

on with the rest of the jack ryan franchise tonight aslong as the audio is better

debating if i should play the storm tomorrow or not

ok so i have watched the jack ryan films, finished off columbo, started back on tour of duty and highlander tv series, then watched jerry maguire last night 6/10 wasnt

found out that there are going to release another  terminator, Jurassic park  and mission impossible this year so going to catch up with them as only seen the first films in all the series

still not in the mind set for playing online poker might take a trip through to aberdeen for some live poker soon see if they can help get my head straight

think i might get hung for this confession, after watching the 3 above franchises i am going to go for the godfather franchise and dirty harry, had the box sets for a number of years never got round to watching them

You haven't seen the Godfather or Dirty Harry?

not seen any of the godfather films think i have seen one or 2 of the dirty harry films or maybe just bits of them


getting annoyed at some of the films during the action sequences the volume is so loud i have to turn teh sound down then they start speaking i cant hear them

or they mumble the whole way through the film even with max volume i can make out what they are saying

1 Stop buying pirate DVDs

2 Wash your ears out properly.

finally got round to watching the godfather part 1 so underwhelmed, the forced italian accents meant alot of the dialogue was mumbled and missed
plot was good and finally got to see the horses head

I watched them, but much preferred Goodfellas to Godfather.

will add that to my list to watch

today i got hold of red dwarf not sure if i will get to end of season 1 never mind 10 but will give it a bash

Tried watching that a few times, but never managed to get into it, and it's not something that really interests me anymore.

TV shows always best for me, because usually episodes are only 30-40 mins ;D

Went to the funeral of my 91 year old neighbour today, huge turn out, he had an MBE which I never knew about. I looked around the church and realised I knew hardly any of the people or anything about them, but they all seemed no know me and everything about me.

went for an early night last night around 2 am, my usual practise is to go for a shit and shower before i goto sleep. i have to use a different chair in bathroom a chair more adapted with getting soaked while i am in the shower twice a day. its not the most secure feeling sat in it but in 25 years its never collapsed on me. So i tried to turn the lights on and blew the whole house's lights. Shower wasnt too much of a problem but getting back into my bed after it in the dark was one of the hardest things i have done i couldn't even see my bed it was all done by touch. Would hate to lose my eyesight as thats not and experience i want to repeat

the perfect fix for all those disabled toilets i keep getting shown when i roll into a premise

decided to play a little poker last night first time since feb i think

got 5 free tokens for spin and goes via email and had to use them in 5 days

i also had some fpp's in my account so played some micro fpp sats

won a sat to storm and nearly a sat to the $55 omaha and $12 in the spin and goes

tonight i went and played a couple of comps 497 in the big $4.40 with 495 paid shoved AJ on button when i could of folded in the money with 12bbs
both sb and bb had bigger aces
then went of to win the $3 NL courchaval hi/lo

planning to restart playing more regular in august after my nephew has been over for a couple of weeks and then my brother and his family come up at the end of july
stars has a nice promo over the new 4 weeks that each time you deposit in your account you get free cash ($10 normally but could be more if you run lucky)

meanwhile i have rewatched all of sharpe and this weekend i opened my police academy box set and rewatched them

also watch again the eddie murphy and jeff goldblum in holy man i love that film even if the reviews and ratings for it aint that high

1/8 in a $2.20 plo9 game today
$129 FTW

would be nice get another win

love skill gamez
went from 1/8 to 7/7 then to 3/6 at break with average stack

dinning at the fine resturant that is KFC tonight

I am sure it doesn't beat my corned beef hash :). Congratulations on the tourney win

close , your corned beef does beat nando's (what doesnt) but not quite as good as a KFC

Godfather 2 is much better than 1 imho, goodfellas crushes both though.

saw all 3 of the godfathers doubt i will rewatch them at any point

still have the goodfellas on list to watch this weekend i watched all 7 of the police academy films again
i actually had to take the wrap of the box set i have had for a number of years

also watched holy man again

I watched this after you mentioned it and really enjoyed it, it left me feeling pretty good :)  

TY

YW

have you seen this film
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108002/
i watch it ever now and then for inspiration its a based on real life drama 

watching the stargate movie then the first 2 episodes of SG-1

i am sorry but the US airforce security is shocking did they not notice that o'neal and jackson were imposters

No I haven't seen it but will give it a watch.

Cheers

Steve

ended up watching rounders again last night never gets dull

but need a bit of help trying to remember name of a poker film, main character had some sort of gambling problem
also had problem with his dad, ends up with him and his dad on the final table of a big poker torney
had roles for some of the "faces" of poker at the time

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0338216/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

Was it that one?

think that could be it thanks i remember robert duvaul being in it as the father but forgot his name

thanks marky found it you were correct
wasted 3 hours with google last night

went to see the new terminator film in the cinema tonight, local cinema (10 miles away) only has 2 screens 1 accessible the other isnt. checked online to make sure it was in correct screen before going. get there and its been swapped around and screen has been changed with nothing on the website to say

atleast tesco was still selling beer £10 for 20 bottles of becks that will do nicely thanks very much £30 spent

Ok think I might go for the ocean series of films next should I watch the rat pack film first?

this photo must have been around about 1993/4
the yellow wheel chair cost me £1500 as all "lightweight" chairs had to be bought
the chairs we got supplied in the hospital wer 4 times heavier and didnt come to bits
which meant we needed other people to help us in and out of our cars

it was cheaper back then to fly across to the USA have a 7 day holiday and bring a chair  back with you
than it was to buy one in this country

as soon as the NHS started supplying chairs that were useable the cost collapsed and you could pick one up for under £400

Hi Ironside,
               Dont you find that Becks has quite a tang to it? If i drink it i have to stick to just that or else get a weird taste in mouth.

since my days in army in germany its the only lager i drink cant really compare it to anything else, its never stopped me drinking vodka or baileys when i am drinking becks and i am on a session though must me 3 or 4 years since my last session

anyone remember the tex murphy adventures pc games from the late 80s and right through the 90s

seemingly they stop due to mircosoft buying there parent company
and mothballing the series

but new game came out last year after a kick starter campaign

not sure if i should just just straight to the new game or go back play the originals after all its one long story book

Ok taxing question for you maths gurus, if I was to run for 1 hour at an average speed of 12 miles per hour, then run for 60 minutes  at  an average speed of 6 miles an hour while playing fair Scotland in Russia 2018 and scoring the winning hat trick before being replaced how far will I have run.

Answer none but I will have just had my daily 2 hours sleep, was a bad dream  after all I the goal keeper.

But this answers a question I am often asks can i walk in my dreams

I can drive the moon to far flung galaxies in my dreams if they were a little longer I might even get to meet et

I blame the Becks

I know maybe when I get over this man flu I can have a cpl of becks to help me sleep

Flying keepers was always such great fun.

I always wanted to know as a kid why keepers were not always flying

made me smile

Ignore Boshi. That's a great choice.

Anyone spotted any bargains online for black friday? i was thinking of dipping my toes into GTA on steam just so when my nephew finally is allowed to play it i have an edge can get the early ones for all under £5 some for £1.49 IV is only a fiver is it worth it or should i jump straight in with GTA V with 40% off

this next post is TL and poorly written and you dont need to read it but i just needed to put this in writing somewhere


i had a really sad moment in my life on the early hours of Saturday morning, i had been out to a bar in a town called lossiemouth which had a DJ and dance floor. Now i like to get out of the pub 15 minutes before it closes so i can get into the car wheelchair stowed and away from the pub before the crowd leaves as they just mill on the "dirt track" while is a steep hill for ages waiting for taxis and its a nightmare to get away.
On Saturday morning the friends i were with took ages finishing the drinks so got away 5 minutes before it closed as there was 2 of them i also needed to get them to put the bulk of my chair in the boot. I threw the smaller parts onto the back seat behind me leaving space for one of my passengers to sit and belt up in the back and the other the front seat. We got away just before the crowd came out and headed for elgin (4 miles) for some food, as we left lossiemouth there is a long very straight road of 1.5-2 miles. At that time of night there is very little traffic on it mainly just taxis either taking people to elgin or back from elgin as the pubs close but the clubs are still open for another 90 minutes. As it happened on saturday morning there was a car coming towards me so i kept my lights on dipped, i hadnt got far down the road when suddenly out of nowhere a pedestrian appeared from no where, luckily he stepped into the verge and i pulled out soon enough to miss him. Unfortunately i found out over the weekend a driver only a few minutes behind me wasnt so lucky and the  young 21 year old pedestrian died.
Many a time i have driven that road and stopped to pick someone random stranger up even at that time of night, its a small area everyone knows someone you know, Or they are  in the RAF its very safe to do so (ok i wouldn't advise it for a female on her own) the worst that going to happen is they will throw up in your car, and you will take it round the next day for them to clean it or pay for a valet. On saturday morning though i was past him and half way down the road before i even though about stopping (as i didnt see him till it was too late) and all i did was cuss for him being so far on the wrong side the road in dark clothing. when i did think of stopping i was so far down road and remembered half my wheelchair was on the back seat.  My passengers never even saw him and wondered what i had weaved to avoid maybe a deer rabbit cat or dog all very common in the area.
First time in my life that something i could/should of done has injured another person some people will say i should forget it i wasnt to know and people walk that road on a friday night saturday morning all the time but i just feel bad.

Sorry to hear that very tragic indeed.
 
Totally natural you feel bad over it but there's nothing you could have done.

so totally bored today i checked out my poker stars account i had $29 in it i havent played since october and even then it was just a few bored game

tried a cpl of 50c spin and goes but got bored when guys started open shoving 24o 2nd and 3rd hand and i obviously was losing
so went all in with a $27 SPKO NLO8

didnt expect to play for long as i had friends coming over who are now living in spain with a couple of laptops they want me to look at

ok friends have been and gone and i am still in WTF 21 players left (27 got paid) i have a top 5 stack and 49$ in bounties wohooo profits a profit

Nice tid! What's up top

pm me as i dont always read these diaries

Broadband is down so I won't be playing till further notice

so after my dinner date canceled i went for the healthy option of a KFC tonight. Went for the mighty bucket for one as this looked like the biggest option for a single person and being on a diet i didn't want to eat for 2. but 2 pieces of chicken 2 fillets and 2 spicy wings with fries didn't sound quite big enough so asked them if they could give me a 3rd piece of chicken a 3rd fillet and a 3rd wing. NOPE can not do that can get the 3rd piece of chicken and the 3rd fillet but the option was 2 more wings.
FFS i am on a diet i didn't want to eat 4 wings and i dont believe in wasting good food so couldn't buy 2 eat one and leave the other one and no homeless on the street in that part of elgin i could give it too so i had to do without. Now i am hungry when i wouldnt have had to eat for atleast another 30 minutes if KFC could of supersized my mighty bucket. RANT OVER

Not sure if you're serious about the diet thing there Iron?

Maybe you're being sarcastic but it's surprising how many people think KFC is actually healthy "because it's chicken"........

Healthier than his usual bucket of deep-fried mars bars.

It's all relative.

I'm daft but not that daft 8 lumps of grease with chips was my healthy diet

Had some blood tests done yesterday (had hundreds done before but not tested this seemingly) there is a huge likely hood that this is causing a lot of the problems that have stopped me playing poker for along time, some pills and a few weeks and hopefully will be back on the felt maybe virtual and after my op at end of year the sweat and tears of a casino.

Is stars still the best places for progressive knock outs and o8?

Most of the O8 comps on Stars now have 3x re-entry available.

There's been a big push on the progressive KOs/Bounty Builders, and there's more than ever now.

good/bad news the tests didn't come back as i expected

but there is an infection of some sort in my blood but they don't know where its coming from

so load more tests and some xrays to be taken so might not get back to the poker as quick as i was hoping

29 years ago today, a body of young men all aged 16. Headed to a place called Colerne, half way between Bath and Chippenham. For the next 12 months we were molded into an Elite Raoc fighting machine plus the rct (not so elite). I proud to say I snuck in under the line by 48 hours having my 17th birthday just 2days later. (don't ask but I will only be 23 this weekend). The day will always be one of best days in my life, although I have never been so scared.

not been doing much for quite awhile now, only going out the house for hospital and health centre appointments. Had my 12 year old nephew staying with me for a few weeks over the summer holidays (they went back last week in scotland). Anyway the last week he was here we started playing pokemon go together, well should i say i drove him to pokestops and put lures on them for him sat there for 30 minutes while we catch some pokemon and restock our balls.

We even went for walks on the dry days and hatched an egg or 2 , should i say he walked and pushed my chair and we stopped when pokemon appeared. So when he went back i have now decided to carry on playing pokemon for 2 reasons  first get me out the house to the stops to get balls and eggs and second to get me fit again even if it just pushing myself round the block a few times a day with the gradients and road surface each lap can get the heart rate up.

Up untill pokemon go came out i had never heard of a pikachu and still dont know much about whats a good pokemon and whats a bad one but i think this is one app on my phone i am going to keep. Despite the bad press in some areas with people driving while playing and going to unsafe places this is one great fitness app IMHO. Is anyone else playing this game ? or am i the only saddo

There is a thread about it here.

ok now thats out my system normal service will resume

Good to see your spelling has improved

I Lolled.

your e pear if nit finny billys bhoys

wow started playing a bit of poker cause i was bored  playing for fun rather than profit just 2 or 3 tables something i havent done for along time

but what have stars done they have killed O8 9 handed its all seems to have gone 6 handed lobby is so much harder to find what looking for

playing mainly the 90 man 5$ SPKO HE and the 18 player NLO8 turbos with odd scheduled game

where would be best site to find more 9 handed O8

The 10.30 $55 turbo has gone to 9 handed.  They all went 6 handed for a while, but I read somewhere that they were reverting 20% to 9 handed.  I couldn't tell you when they are, as the one I mentioned is the only one I play regularly that has changed.

yeah $55 would be a bit much

seen 1 or 2 9 handed but the filters are doing my nut in lol

trying the 6 man but got to be so much more active that being said the standard is weak

5.30pm plo8 pko $2.20 buy in went 9 handed last week. (think it runs weekday nights). Only change I've seen so far is more than 6 people limp/call with all sorts of motley combos.

If you want to play other games the NLSD 2-7 PKO are fun addition to a schedule along with the PL Courcheval Hi Lo PKOs which run pretty reg at $2, $5 and $7.50 buy ins

will have a look at that 5.30 game red think i played it on Thursday or friday

i havent got my mind into draw poker but will look out for the courcheal PKOs

another night playing poker and things are set up for a massive fall 2/5/210 in a $2 plo8 comp 24/36/245 in a $4 plo8 comp with 34 paid and 17/60/297 in a hyper PKO plo8 comp with 41 paid

got a KFC in the first and 2 small cashes in the other 2

Good work Iron.

Going great guns !

Civilization VI has had me gripped since its come out, yeah there are a few small glitches that you get with any game when it is released but its so addictive even if i wasnt stuck at home trying to keep pressure of my foot i would be stuck at home addicted to this game. 

Wow thanks for the heads up, I've loved this series since the very first one and hoping my crummy desktop can cope with the new one!

have you had a chance to play yet

bugs are getting annoying now but not annoying enough for me to stop playing though on immortal level trying to get past move 30 without 30 Enermy warriors and spearmen coming out on nowhere makes the level nearly impossible to play

Have you stopped playing on 'Stars?

Not played for awhile after picking up another virus, but will be back to it soon

heading into hospital today for my operation tomorrow and hopefully home thursday, just found out no wifi in the aberdeen hospital FFS even my local hospital has FREE wifi so its spending the last 20 minutes before i leave putting old TV series i have on my pc onto my laptop

Hope it all goes well Al.

Break a leg iron.

Breaking a leg would be annoying but atleast it would be pain free

Operation postponed

Bugger. How frustrating is that.

WOW!!!😡😡😡😡 Only in Elgin....... Went into Tesco for fuel and I noticed two policemen watching a woman smoking a fag while she was fueling up ffs! I saw her & thought "what an idiot....An with the Police right there too". I went in to pay and As I was walking out I heard someone screaming. I looked outside & the woman's arm was on fire!!! She was swinging her arm & running around going mental!! So I rushed oor to help & the police had put her on the ground & were putting the fire out with their coffee's!!! They put handcuffs on her & threw her in the police car. Obviously "she shouldn't have been smoking & putting petrol in!! But being the nosey fucker I am, I asked them what the hell were they arresting her for? The policeman turned looked at me and said.......................................


can anyone tell me?

Firearm offence.

"WAVING AN ILEGAL FIREARM!! "

Went in for my op on Tuesday got the op on  Wednesday and was expecting to be home on Thursday.

Things don't always run smoothly with me.

Before they opened me up they were concerned because they had no record of the tubing connect the baclofen pump inside me to the spinal cord . So they made sure an expert from the pump provider was there incase new pump used a different connection. Only thing was they had never seen the connector type before.

There was also signs that the pump had been leaking so 30 minute op took 90, but they thought all was OK.

That night just after I got to my bed I started getting some bad spasms in my legs and stomach, I was given some baclofen orally but this was helping. By 7am when the surgeon came into work I was in a mess by blood pressure had shot from a stable 120/70 to 198/98 I was being sick and my whole body was in violent Jerking movements along with an uncontrollable itching and burning of my skin.

I was moved to a high dependency/ observations room. While they tried to get hold of the medical experts, the consultat had traveled to Leeds after my op. And his nurse practioner was on his way to Orkney,  they managed to get him after he had gone through security luckily for me.

At 8pm after no improvement they were talking of me going to an intensive ward blood pressure was still 190ish. About 8.30 I started all of a sudden to feel better spasms stop burning stop great I thought we have done it. Surgeon and a couple of scary looking doctors came past as my spasms stopped. Checking of my blood pressure got a reading of about 60/45.

I had now gone from withdrawals to overdose something they had been trying to avoid. More panic by the people in charge a couple of drips scans and blood test followed. Experts called and advising on next courses of action. By this time I was dozing off. I last saw the surgeon around 10pm but I was told he didn't leave till 1am , he was back by 7am I was feeling fine but was subjected to more scans tests an examinations to insure neither the withdrawal or overdose had done any long term damage.
When I joked that I felt fine and was ready for him to send me home, he remarked in a serious tone I could of died yesterday so he would think it would be a few days.
On Saturday I was able to get up in my chair for a few hours, I was still attached to monitors and oxygen but so much better. Late Saturday I was moved back to the ward and a single room.
Sat up in my chair now waiting for my lunch actually feeling better than I have in over ayear

Going to take thing easy for a bit but should be back to non dad dad dancing and chasing ladies in next month or so.

Cliffs of previous message I was ill now better

Glad to hear you are improving pal , hope your recovery continues.

I was aching just reading it :(

Get well soon.

Reading that, I'm glad that I turned down a baclofen pump  ;gobsmacked;

Glad that you're feeling better, and hope that things run more smoothly until you're home again.

I definitely need to be a bit more positive when feeling a bit sick considering the stuff some of the posters here have to go through.   Get well soon Ironside.

Not sure if your joking or not marky but the pump is great this is my 4th one and has made my quality of life so much better. This is first trouble I have had with it. My biggest scare throughout was that I would have to go back on oral baclofen.

Plus first time the 3 key players have had this problem.  Care I have received is top notch

I was half joking :)

I did a bit of research when I was referred to a spasticity consultant 3/4 years ago, and came to the conclusion that it was a bit invasive given the problems mine causes me.

I was on oral for 4/5 years. Going from 5mg a day, up to 120mg a day over that period of time. I didn't think it was doing much, but my legs were getting weaker, so I weaned myself off of it, and didn't notice any difference.

Wouldn't worry about that.

I still love a good moan up when I get a bout of manflu ;D

man flu is 10x worse than my problems. Anyone notice women use man flu despite having 2 flu's of there own. Bird and swine!!!!!

Good to know your on the mend :)

Glad your feeling better mate

Getting home today will save me from the anymore jeremey kyle from guy in next room

I didn't know pumps were back in fashion.

Get well soon mate.

Crikey Iron, that was a scary read.

:D

Hope you're enjoying Jeremy from the comfort of your own home.

yeah i am home now feeling better than i have for months
certainly not ill enough to watch jeremy kyle

My old dear had it on when I got up this morning.

Good luck to him, but his voice really grates on my ears.

Glad to see you're back on form Iron.
