I tried to deposit to join you in a game this evening, first using visa and then mastercard, both of which are acceptable elsewhere but alas the site was having none of it.  Oh well, gl

1)   You can ask their names - I always do if they chat back

2)   I love this fact.

3)   yeah, b*st*rds keep raising the blinds

4)   While rummaging for a couple of £20 notes to buy their bingo books!

5)   Phil Helmuth may strongly disagree with this!  It's just a different discipline, pure and simple.

6)   Expression = Don't tap the aquarium

7)   Yeah, next you'll be telling me that pugilists who punch the lights out of each other for a living shake hands at the end of a scrap and are full of priase for their opponents skills after taking or giving a hammering

8.   Anyone brave enough to setup their own business does this every day methinks!

9)   As long as you can write losses off to tax too

10)   Snooker, Darts, mmmmmmmmm, but I know what yer saying!

... and don't even get me started on the subject of why people tell bad beat stories....well he had only 2 friggin outs to hit on the river, played him beautifully, got him to put all his chips in as a massive underdog and the muppet still hit his 2 outer, UNBELIEVABLE................

Good Luck also goes to Nick "Redbull" Hicks, & Big Trev, too

Yeah hope big TR goes well, a gent every time I've met him

came to me for help but I don't gamble

so he naturally came to a non gambling man to help?  - mmmmm

mmm - maybe a bad turn here!

the guy involved new exactly what he was doing and what he had even letting someone at the table when i was gone that he had the straight on 6th

Meh, tap the table, store it, use it and return the complement down the line.

i suggest maybe growing up ffs, how long have you been playing poker live? If you are going on life tilt for someones footwear and a rowdy railer I would hate to see what happens in a bad situation.


quoted for awesomeness


it is a beaut.

It would appear even tapping the aquarium is safe these days!

Once something becomes standard, then a GOOD player just changes their standard play, to beat it. Surely.

Or am I oversimplifying it all, as usual ?

Isn't that part of their use though, to stay away from the good players and feed off the fish?  Don't like them myself, it should be part of a poker players skillset to work this out themselves.

I too was on the shortlist it seems for this scarce gold CD - hasn't made the bin yet that I'm aware of but does have a coffee ring on it now!

Long Time No Play Sheriff - nice hand sir, wp

From a purely financial sense yes, but people tend to need more than just finances to maintain a 'life' if not a lifestyle. Most of could save thousands by using all our disposible income on mortgages for example, but would lead to a very boring life.

Fair do's, totally agree.  But then where possible, absorb your higher rate loans into your mortgage (although I gather claw is renting?) and pay the higher rate loan off ASAP.  This will free up the most of ones disposable monthly income.  

Personal loans are always at a much worse rate than mortgages and as such are dead money.  Necessary evil true at times, but to be offloaded as soon as possible.  If Claw does have a mortgage then I'd def look at the the numbers for a remortgage which we all are used to and comfortable paying over an extended period.  

The danger of course is always that after this gets sorted we yet again increase our outgoing rate and take out another personal loan "for that one big hit" and the cycle can spiral ever faster downward.  Been there, seen it and still wear the T-shirt

Regardless of all our 2nd hand advice, the fact that someone airs their fears on a board means to me they have the sense to manage and deal with it.  It's those of us that keep our heads firmly buried in the sand that get a rude awakening when the wheels even begin to wobble!
