Aaron you really are a knob sometimes.
How are they bin men? And what's wrong with bin men anyway ?
It's a skilled job with a lot of heavy lifting that is usually very awkward to say the least.
£35 p hour is about right. Most people pay over £50 p hour just to get the car or washing machine fixed .
Now that's overpriced !

Have You Got Lucky?
it is important after a win in an Multi-tourney or Sit & go, to evealuate your game, and realise the pots which you won, could have gone the other way.
On very few occasions is it possible to win a, say 100 runner tourney without winning at least one coin flip (50-50) and a lot of the times you may be forced to put your chips in with say KQ v A10 where u are a 60/40 dog.
Often it can be easy after winning a tournament to feel like you have played very good poker and have deserved your win. At times like these you have to remember he times you have been lucky in a single pot and realise that this won't happen in every tourney. My own opinion is that you have to have luck on your side to win a tourney. The differnce between the good players and just the average players is that the good players give themselves the best possibe chance to get lucky by only getting involved in very few showdowns per tournament, this way they may only have to win say 3 coinflips per tourney as opposed to other weaker players who may need to win a lot more, due to their inabilty to steal pots and become more aggressive in the latter stages. I have seen many players who at one time were winning tourneys left right and centre, and they were last seen entering $2 bonus freerolls.

It is very naive to disregard luck in poker. But for a good player the luck comes, by why that they may be lucky not to get unlucky....

Ie they will go into a pot with AK v AQ in a showdown obviously the AK is about 73% favourite but if you are involved in 4 of these coups, you are favourite to lose your stack by the 4th time...

They say that good players don't understand how much luck is in the game and bad players don't realise how much skill is in he game. This is probably right, however bad players often endeavour to learn more about the skill in the game. It is also important for the good players to not learn but understand luck and don't get blinkered into thinking you are invincible, and never forget the times when you get lucky as this will help you take the beats that other players inflict on you.... because as they say "what comes around, goes around".........

Great stuff..
This is so true .... and to think you knew all this over 6 years ago . fk me you must of had it good back then  : )

no never before.

sorry didn win for you  : (

just watched the race now.never ever looked like winning .

has anyone else had a call off Betfair similar to this ?

[2.35 Ascot ILE DE RE]

Hi everyone dont know what to make of this but i had a strange phone call this morning from none other than some pr guy from  Betfair.
Guy was asking why i hadnt been on the site lately, what other sites i was using and if i would like to take them up on some promotional offers they have today on their site.
He finishes off the conversation by asking if i would like a ' tip ' for today

2.35 Ascot ILE DE RE Currently around 3/1

Make of it what you will , i dont usually back favourites so this wont see my money , however
i thought i would share with the forum , the horse is very well handicapped and the trainer seems to think a lot of the horse from what ive researched since the phone call.

Good luck to those of you who may have a punt : )

Slim chance but has anyone got any spare Ascot tickets for this Saturday 20th ?

 nice tricast 

Sigh at seeing this .
Certainly had a few losing runs since i tipped him up,but it has been running in hot high value handicaps that you need a whole lot of luck in.
I gave up backing this one a long time ago, but still cant help feeling pretty miffed i never backed him last night  : (
Admittedly this was a much weaker race last night and they did punt it from 12/1 the night before , but they generally do this every time it runs anyway.
Spoke to the owner today who is obviously very happy , he backs him blind every time it runs , although he is a big loser overall financially from punting.
horse is well high up in the weights now , but could probably win on the all weather again in the right race.

gl to those still following and sorry i never gave you all a winner when it mattered 

  Glued to the stream today .

go Frankel go !
