I honestly had a set of kings! Can you explain out AA and KK hand please, how someone let him in with 76...

I liked your 63 push, just not against that player.

Right plan, wrong time.

Bradders & this Gary fella had been messing about, junk v junk, & I was looking to see how I could mop up their chips somehow.

Gary makes it 350 - he did, every single hand, & Braddders, to my right, re-pops it to 1k. He has air, he's making a move on Gary, who he thinks also has air. I have K-K, & decide to flat Bradders, half-expecting a squeeze from the boy Gary, that was his standard MO.  Instead, he flats, too, bugger.

The flop was 8-9-T, I shoved with my Kings, Gary called with his 6-7, & Bradders, almost sure he was beat, had to call wth his bag of spanners. (Aces).

The point being, if I Re-Raise with my Kings, Gary departs, & Bradders, with the Aces gets my stack. Instead, Gary got the lot, because I flatted instread of Raising. Either way, I lose the lot. Chips please.

No, I don't have an extravagant chair.

Looking at the pictures posted on this and other threads I find that while the buildings,bridges and even (God help me) trains are interesting,sometimes impressive,the most "wonder full" and awe-inspiring pictures all come courtesy of Mother Nature.
Please keep them coming.

Sure will, that's a promise. I'm obsessed with the sheer beauty of wildlife. If you look at those birds on that Link I Posted a week or so ago, you have to wonder "why" they were they made so beautiful, all colours, shapes & sizes, even the humble sparrow is beautiful.

Come the spring, I'm going to try & do some serious bird-watching.

We've recently had a couple of these visiting the bird feeders outside the kitchen window. The peanut usage has gone through the roof though (about 1lb of nuts every 2-3 days) - reason, coal tits don't eat at the feeders, they grab a nut & go hide it, and they're building a fair stash. Faither & I have tried following their flight path to see where they're stashing them, but no joy so far.

I honestly had a set of kings!

Yeah, me too. Honest. Guv. No, Honest.
Still chewing over the KQ v AA hand that gave John Juanda a big stack, can't have the way he played it at all. Not multi-dimensional imo but others seemed to think it was fine. Nah.
Having Gary 'innit' to my left and Bradders to his left meant not doing as much as I'd have liked, think I'd have been better off in Tighty's seat and vice versa, but pleasing to win a couple of races, especially the one against that handsome young Alex fella.
The Wednesday night tournament is the best of the week imo.

Luton tonight, for the 46 runner £50 + £50, plus a 24 runner Last-Longer. (See Luton Comp Thread).

The evening began with a round of applause & a huge roar when, & trust me, it's true, Tighty somehow managed to get all his chips in the middle on the second hand of the night. He is very well liked & respected there.

Early L-L exits included Vinny, Compo, (who went on to nick £800 in the DC), & Rooks went about midway.

A young lad from Pockets, at Ware, Gary, was busting players with spectacular aplomb, left right & centre. In one coup, Bradders had Aces, I had Kings, & Gary Called the RR with 6-7, flop 8-9-T. Then he somehow managed to get 30k in pre-flop against Lalits 8-8, he had 5-6, & flopped the straight! With 12 players left, he had 81k, which was quadruple the average for the Final, (600-1,200), so it was more of a vomit than a spew for him to finish........11th!

Snat was low-chipped the entire night, & Finalled as Bottom Boy, but when I departed, he was Chip Daddy, well played him.

It was a grind the entire night for me, but the L-L Bragging Rights were all that mattered, & I hung in in true hungy style. Down to 2,900, (400-800) I Called all-in with 7-7 against two all-in-ers, they had A-K & A-Q, thty both missed, & I rivered the straight as a bonus.

A little revved up now, I shoved my now seemingly huge 8k in with 6-3, got a customer who had K-Q, I flopped trips, & rivered the straight, for which I came in for some well-deserved grief.

In the Final, Bradley (huge-chipped all night, played just terrific) caught me stealing, his A-Q dominating my Q-J, I failed to hit my 3 outer, but straighted instead.

Eventually, I made a shove (Blinds huge now) with A-T suited, but Snat was lurking behind me with the Bobbies, & that was that, 7th, for £120, plus £60 of Last-Longer.

Snat & Bradders looked to be in charge when I exited, but Lalit was still there with a great chance, too.

Once again, the Luton Usual Suspects outlasted & outgrinded the dancers.

A great, great, evening. 
 

omg do me a favour, we are outnumbered heavily- whos on my team besides gary (iv adopted him) , celtic and chompy (sorry guys ur in the PLAYERS team)? Also, who's team is compo on? Bradders is turning into a solid nit too (albeit a good one) so iv banished him till he recovers his nerve, he had THE BEST spot to 3b shove v phil "snatty" cooklin (who was pretty aggro last night, nhwpgg btw) and opted out. sigh, solidbackinfashionaments.
