Luton & The Aftermath - Diary

[GreekStein]

Good luck mate.

At several points in the past I've thought about looking for staking to play live cash (like the big PLO game at the Vic, which is toasty but I'm not nearly rolled for) and what's put me off ever really doing it is that I don't like the thought of someone doubting in their mind any of the wins/losses etc. Does that resonate at all?

It's a big compliment to be staked for live cash, in more ways than one.

I'll leave the complicated advice to Martin but here's mine: Don't tilt. Win. Don't play like you want, play like you can. Oh and did I mention, win?

I'm now set up on Skype. Am a complete noob on it. If you would like to add me then I'm the remarkably named vince.calenti

So far, the only people I can talk to on there are Greek & Fett. Don't leave me with those two please!

Peeeleeeno, as per you post the other day, can you add me please?

Would add you, but can't spell calenti.

Good luck - I will see you later to personally send you run good on the night.  Cos is right, big compliment - but tbh you are one of a handful of people I've met through poker who I would trust in this type of deal - so you're backers will be fine on the integrity front....

....the poker front is another matter ha ha ha

Only joking, you'll do great fro them

Tonight I'm off to the Vic, to play 1/2. Following the suspension of my previous staking deal, I was approached by someone else to see if I wanted to continue, on a similar deal. Only this time, it's a lot better IMO.

Previously, I was restricted to just playing the Vic, and on certain nights, and sometimes it would be 1/1, sometimes 1/2. This deal sees me going straight in at 1/2. I can of course play 1/1 if the game looks better than the 1/2, which is good. I have basically been given free licence to do what I want, when I want and where I want. The instructions were just play/play/play and hopefully win/win/win.

I'm really happy with this deal, It gives me a chance to play more than I would be able to, and gives me an opportunity to improve. By coincidence, Pretty Boy Martin rang me today to see if he could grab a lift to the Vic, he thinks I'm doing it because he is so pretty and I'm a good guy, he doesn't realise I'm gonna be squeezing him for every bit of information he has stored in his pretty little head.

Also, I'm really happy at the trust shown in me. Not just in terms of ability, but more in terms of honesty and integrity. There is no way of tracking what I win or lose, they are totally reliant on accepting what I say, so for someone to show that amount of faith in me makes me feel good. Thank you

Good luck me.

sounds a great deal!

Am just leaving now to go to the Vic to go play the 350 they have on tonight.

Just saw that Vinny is gonna be playing 1/2 so might be more profitable giving the tournie a miss and just playing cash tho.

Decisions decisions

See you there mate.

Would it be possible for you to get backing for something you're good at, or is that stretching things a bit ?

He is good at stretching things a bit. Mostly waistbands.

Never heard of a backing arrangement for the consumption of cigarettes and kebabs before.

No one reads this but just in case some spam:

Needs a catchier title.

I won't enter because I'm scared of winning. RSQ tilts me so much. I don't know why because it is so popular with a lot of people. Might become brave one day and give it another go.

It's not rsq. It's a sq. Much easier. More fun plus a question on kebab. go on Vinny!

sick effort last night mate, got to be a record to spin £300 to £2550 in 7 hours in a 1/2 game! COMMA BOMBER!

My mate was on msn to me this morning Vin - he never introduced himself to you last night (I don't blame him) but it was you who won the 1600 pot off him with 1010 against his 79cc on the 1084cc board.
