Before looking at my collection, i have two which everyone will disagree with.

Inme - Overgrown Eden. 4 singles that did really well in the charts off their debut album and still nobody has heard of them.

Top album. Crushed Like Fruit and Lava Twilight my personal favs.

For me, The Libertines - Up The Bracket.

Can see Coventry having a good season. May be worth sticking a few quid on them.

Hot - Tea 1 sugar

Cold - Water

Alcohol - Magners

 

Fingers crossed it isn't too bad!

Is there any way myself and my flatmate can both enter the tournament tomorrow or will there be problems using the same IP address?

Cheers, Russ

I guess it was my own fault for trying to defend my BB too much, especially with it only being a minimum raise from one of the larger stacks. I honestly didn't put him on a hand which is something I need to improve on (relatively new to playing poker) but after his minimum bet on the flop I was surprised he called my raise. After that I guess my lack of experience showed...

Thanks for the feedback guys.

I figured that his raise was just a typical steal of my BB and if I hit on the flop then hopefully I could take it down. After he called my raise on the flop I didn't know what to think and with second pair and a flush draw on the turn I thought I was in a good position.

Any ideas on this hand guys...

Bit deflated going out so early in a final table. I don't get to many but was playing confidently and was hoping to go all the way  in this one.

Should I have raised more on the flop? I was pretty certain I was ahead but would have liked to have taken the pot there. Maybe a bigger bet on the turn?

I didn't know what to think when he went all in on the river but called straight away in the heat of the moment sort of thing never thinking whether he had a flush that could beat mine

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers, Russ

I've had more bets today than on any other Saturday of the season,..

Here goes:

Preston at 6/5 to beat Brighton.

QPR at 3.2 to beat Sheff Weds.

Luton at 11/10 to beat Leicester.

Ipswich at 1.8 to beat Millwall.

And just for kicks I've laid Reading at home to Watford at 1.73.

Warning: these selections could be bad for your financial health!

Seems a good price for Rangers to get the 3 points at struggling Wednesday. Feel so much more optimistic now Waddo has got us playing proper football. Lets hope for the same result we got in Sheffield a few weeks ago!

Just been playing an STT on William Hill and it kept freezing so I couldn't play, the worst moment was when I saw I'd been dealt JJ and it folded it because I couldn't press any of the buttons. I ended up going all in on 77 just so I could lose because it is so frustrating seeing your good hands being folded!!

OK

Rant over...

I had the same sort of problem on Betfair a few months ago...

Right click on the desktop and go to Properties. >> Then the Settings tab up the top. >> Then click Advanced, and afterwards the Troubleshoot tab up the top. >>> Slide the Hardware accelerator (from Full) down 2 notches.

This seemed to do the trick.

Hope it helps!

I have the same problem at my flat. I think it differs with each software. The three of us use Virgin poker and can all play on the same table. With the Crypto network we each have to use a different site (WillHill, Betfair and Littlewoods)  if we want to sit in the same room.

Thought I would give it a try today. Are there any sites/bookies that offer the chance to do this?
