Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[tikay]

As busy as you are I for one will except NO excuse if you dont play the Trillion game next month...and I dont mean your usual show up and donk your chips for a quick exit.

I know you have loads on your plate but WE REALLY WANT TO WIN THIS!!!

PLEASE use your charms and get everyone involved  

Well I have never deliberately donked off my chips for a quick exit Suzanne, I just play bad!

What date is the next one? If I'm not working, I'll play it.

And yes, I'll try to help Kev & Tighty get as many folks as possible involved. I gather we got a bit of a pasting tonight, thank the Lord for Byron, eh? We should make him Lord Byron. Oops, we already had one of them.

I do enjoy the Posts of MANTIS,

Floppy tells me that we are Upating next weekend's 3-2-1, & he's going to make a special effort to liven it up a bit.

Apparently, he wants me to detail any interesting hands from my Table, & pass thm straight to him, & detail all the hands I play in each Level. That might not take too long.......

The lad get's a lot of stick, not constructive stuff, just "lol at your drivel", but at least he takes the time & effort not just to say "hey, I think that's wrong", but, more importantly, he explains why, in his opinion, it's wrong. Being told "that's wrong" is of no help to anyone. Being told "why" is what matters.

Yes but the thing is, on average, his posts could be 300 words shorter and get the same message across!

I'm thinking of taking up fishing, too. I've always wanted to fish, & I'm about ready for it now, I think.

i used to live in a place called Saxilby when i was a kid and my house was 10 paces away from a canal (the fossdyke)  and we spent so many lazy summer afternoons fishing! I spent so many years of my life fishing when i was a kid, you should defo give it a go! its sooo relaxing

That's the plan. A quiet lake, some sarnies, some Bins, to watch the birdlife, & presumably, fall asleep. Catching a fish would be a bonus, but I'm not 100% sure I approve of catching fish with sharp pointy hooks, it must hurt a bit.

Its very disillusional when there is a forum challenge and all the best players are busy :-(

Surely it wouldnt be too hard for all you multitable pros to open up a bloody $10 MTT and support us?

Entirely mutual.

It may surprise you to know that many of us enjoy his verbosity. And some can learn from it. I can go to Betfair & read "you should have Passed, you tosser".....!

Well I've never multi-tabled in my life, & have absolutely no desire so to do, so I'll assume that excuses me from the point!

I simply was not aware it was tonight, & so missed it. It was not intentional, I'm just disorganized.

As an aside, I'm no big fan of inter-Forum Challenges, or "Team Poker", never have been, poker is an individual pursuit, but that's another story.

the point is, its words that many eyes dont need to see. Yes, he makes an effort, but imagine you were a lethario and someone tried to explain, in 500 words, how you could best turn on a lady by using a turgid pinapple and a packet of matches.. you would say, "well that dont make any sense, and that the guy spends so many words explaining it is a bad reflection upon his character"

its the internet, you can easily make clear in a few words wht you want to say. If you need to use a thousand words to say nothing, its a bad thing.

Aww Tony the multi-table was not aimed at you or any individual...it was aimed at the many who do and who could quite easily open up one more table and support the forum.

After your comment its unlikely to happen now.

Why? It might be "nothing" to you, it may be gold-dust to others.

It is one of my great regrets with blonde, which I wanted to be a decent place. If folks don't like something, or someone, or their Posts, they are not forced to read them, or comment rudely about them.
