Fkn great telly tho. Like Gogglebox.

That is some huge wanger. You are betting on how the public view the size of a mans penis essentially.

I remember when the Derby was on a Wednesday. If you had walked up to a hardened punters in the ring back then, and time warped him to this market I wonder what their reaction would be?

What will we be punting in 2033?

There are so few rivers we are going to fold that checking can't be any good can it? Due having to call it off so often.

Seems like shove or fold to me and lack of any fold equity you mention prob leans to fold. You don't half get in some shitty spots.

He has been superb.

This bowling is pretty ordinary from our lot though.

It's a rick. That's all. There should be no un reg option as per the sites rules. To give a player the option to un reg is unfair.

You get your 33 in total back after you send them an e-mail stating that 1 of their 3 directives from the GC is to act in a fair and open manner.

It is not fair to offer a customer an option which is contrary to the companies rules.

Maybe Sky Poker is not registered with UK  I have no idea.  You will all be protected from this in Dec this year when point of consumption tax arrives and all companies must act in a transparently fair manner.

I am pretty sure if you just explain to CS that un reg option seems unfair they will compensate and remove the option. None of these sites want to piss anyone off or the idea that they want to make bucks out of this situation is flawed.

Customers are everything and I would imagine they would prefer your custom than 25 bucks into the abyss.

Anyone up?

Blowers is on.

I never like these hands either. If you would check/call it off anyway it's gotta be better to lead? Or do we want him to stab at it?

Kinda like our hand here somehow. I think I could be a closet calling station in my old age. Hehe.

Hmmm... Well, I'm going to post my logic for playing this hand pre and see what people think of it.

Firstly, its likely to be a 6 way limped pot, so in that sense we have to put in 1bb to win 5. We have a reasonably playable hand, if the two didn't double suit our hand I wouldn't play it. We have a 3 card run with a gap at the bottom, if the gap was anywhere else I wouldn't play it. Even though we are most likely to be winning a small pot with this hand, I think the fact that we are IP can give us enough information and/or control over the pot to be able to win that small pot and make us far less likely to lose a big one (we're unlikely to get stacky with the second nuts in a 6 way limped pot, as we did not in this instance).

we're on the button

Hehe.

I like Ruuds point about us never having qt here. It's a fold flop for me too.

I just think that, over time, we are never going to make money playing these sort of hands.

It sounds to me like we played it because we are bored, & need some action.

I'd open two or three Tables (assuming they are running, I know the liquidity is thin), & that way, we can be more realistic with our starting hand criteria. It's amazing how much better we play if we have 2 or 3 Tables on the go, & don't play hands just for the sake of finding some action.

Quite right tikay. Win a small pot or lose a big one?

But the button is so much fun for repping funky stuff it's worth a shot. I never thought about the fact that playable hands with a Q and a T will nearly always be raising the button here. Good stuff. I have learnt something in 2014 already.

3. PHA poster of the year. 

The Tank. Well my year anyway, I went through the archives. Cheers for the tip Camel. He sounds like top fella as well as an excellent writer.

Reminds me of my 6pm till 7pm play every Sunday in our local casino. Get a stack or drive home to the pub and get on it.

That's probably not a good thing.

Correct Camel. The whole tour has been a joke.

How Cook can say he is the man to be Capt. after his shot in the 2nd innings of 2nd test is beyond me. That was the dressing room gone in 1 shot.

Still gonna watch the last one though.

Well this is just the most amazing game ever.

Piers. Get yer bat back out son.

There must be a huge behind the scenes story to this English touring side. It's a fkn joke.

Never have I seen such a sorry state of professional sportsmen and so called management. These Aussies will want to totally cream us 5 zip remember.

It's just all shitty Sky Sports filthy money killing another sport really when you think about it. Imagine playing the Ryder Cup 3 months after you just won it?

But I for one will be waking from a slumber on the sofa or bed on Christmas Night to listen to the Boxing Day test first session from that massive ground. I hope we win the toss and walk out, heads held high, and come back in at lunch 68-1.

Not Sky Sports fault - the authorities scheduled a ODI world cup for the next australian summer when the Ashes shoud have taken place.

Hmmm. I would like to have been at that meeting. There were other options available but like most sports they said "ok. How do we get as much as possible out of this"?

They could of played over here again. Then again, who am I to talk. I only got Sky in the first place for this Boxing Day test years ago. Hehe.
