I finished 14th Phil. Which is quite annoying. Lost a big race when my AQ vs 88 was all in pre flop pot must have been 30k. I got the ace but unforunately he hit the 8. Oh well it was gamble i was prepared to make as that pot gave me the chance at a good finish.

I was the guy next to you Phil on your left, i folded the AQ to your re raise. It was nice to meet you. Probably see you down there again next week.

Yeah i was sat as the table as your dads table last night Junior. After about 4 hands Paul raises all in and he looks very confused. Paul asks him whats up and says it all in to you. Your dad says you can't raise that much and that point Paul informs its no limit and not pot limit, was quite amusing i thought.

Yeah online pays the bills to be fair and if you looking purely from a poker perspective it wins hands down. Live is far more entertaining and social experience which i thoroughly enjoy. A mixture of the both keeps me happy

I have to admit that in recent weeks before the repackaging to becoming quite a fan of poker night live. This was mainly because of the intelligent and insightful comments made by the presenters about everything poker. While she may be very easy on the eye and im sure is a lovely girl. The new presenter knows nothing about poker and this not what i want. A massive backward step in my opinion

Just got back myself on the extended bubble in 14th i believe. Lost a race in a 30k pot. Was good night again and is now just about the best supported night at notts now. Yes we have managed it again i will introduce myself next week, honest!

Thats only for the 100 pounder at the start of the month. Its 9 as normal for last registration, house dealers as well tonight. Haven't made my mind up whether im going tonight or not.

As tikay states there are two issues. I would like to say that i don't trash talk at the table and don't tell other people how to play unless they ask my opinion. My story really is to illustrate why doing that would be a bad idea and in my opinion is a losing play in the long term. In actual fact thinking on my feet here, i suppose there would be an arguement of trying to keep a super weak player in. As he is likely to donate his chips to you, if you know how to exploit his weakness.

I have very similar story from Monday night at Nottingham. I am extrmely shorstacked in BB with the blinds at 300/600 3 ppl call my blind and i throw the 500 i have left in blind and all 3 call. Flop comes 5 3 2 rainbow checked all round. Turnn comes a 2 checked by ep player and then a face i didn't recognise bet the pot 4400. I think bugger he has the 2. Both others fold. I look at my card and find 9 3 a pair of 3's. Stand up look for the door. He then turns over kj. River is a blank i scoop the pot with a confused look. Cue a riot (well sort of) criticising the play. Turns out the SB had k3 and folded (it was big bob) he looks crestfallen.

I didn't really help the situation by thanking the player and grinning but hey i couldn't believe my luck. In my opinion it was awful play and would have been annoyed if i had been Bob. Its not etiquette as such more common sense. You have nothing to gain and may well allow an all in player off. Your situation wasn't as bad as your sb didn't have anything that could beat ak did he?

Yeah go on then i will join in for the laugh. Should be fun. Im very local live in bridgford so proximity is not a problem. PM on its way adam.

Yes i thought it was a great night, which seemed to be enjoyed by all. It was a bit different being one of the more experienced ones after a whole 3 months of live play, but it was nice to see new faces being attracted to the game. Also well done to the staff at notts for a well run event (tho im not sure Rob iused to his announcements being listened to). I will attempt to introduce myself in the future im rubbish at that kind of thing.

Yep it was a trial on Sunday for the 50 pounder. There was a rag fee of a fiver on then registration but we are paying that when we sit down to the dealer anyway. If it is considered to be a success it will be an ongoing thing on Sundays in the future.

I plan on supporting this tomorrow, its good to see things being pushed forward at Notts. Also may i comment that i thought having house dealers on the Sunday 50 pound rebuy was a successful trial. All dealers who's table i sat were good especially Adam (i believe was his name) who i thought was as good as any of our regular dealers and gained respect from the table for that.

Is this a joke. I was there last night and Rob was adamant that it started next week. Oh well i will be there next week.

Im taking my house points down the shop tomorrow and im going to buy a loaf of bread and a pint of milk with them.
