Lovely idea vin

Very nice idea.

It's good to be a kid sometimes.

Wasn't the best journey home on the tube though.

LOL, just watching the last few mins of Fulham v Tottenham.

Walker handled the ball about 4 times in 5 seconds, and not even a hint of a penalty being given,

Don't know how Fulham haven't managed to score in the last 2 mins.

Spurs should've had a penalty just before that at the other end when Parker got bundled over and it was a stone wall penalty.

No idea how Spurs won though.

I had an offer this week to play live cash at the Vic. The offer also includes £100 comps.

The plan is to start on 1/1 and gradually work my way up, Played my first session on Wednesday. Sat with £150, got it up to £310, then finished the evening on £160.

Few questions:

Are these games hugely profitable longish term?

Are they very swingy generally?

Best strategy? See flop multi way or try and get pots heads up pre?

Am I better just going straight into the 1/2 and not sitting as deep?

Is this diary still going?

Sunny's a pretty good player though.

My former friends The Sicilian & Pizzled have gone to Vegas this week, without me. I thought we were unbreakable, a great friendship cemented in the summer, with many laughs in the Vegas heat.

This week, they abandonded me, fickle imo.

Mixed feelings about not going, I actually almost booked a flight late on Monday night, but then decided against it. Fields are smaller than the summer, and a lot of people seem disappointed with the numbers. I'm not though, It means that the sicilian, who is yet to earn an american flag, can't fail to get one on this trip. Seems a shame though, it's a lose/lose situation, as they count for less in November, than say July.

Good luck to both of them.

The fenland flouncer is out there too.

Curently 1.01 on betfair to announce his retirement from Poker, the minute his plane touches down at Heathrow next week.

Right, gotta go. Nando's with Live Pro Claypole at 12.30.

rom ur diary....
 yes games r profitable longterm as long as the reg lineup isnt tough
 like by the sounds of the nottingham games with sean, alex, mitch and keith playing regularly 1/2, 2/5 and sometimes stato and JK they sound like tough lineups
 games r usually swingy coz bad plays gamble it up so much.  being mega loose pre and getting it in pretty light with draws and stuff


 best strategy also depends on the lineup
 i think if u think ur the best player or 1 of the best on the table u should be looking to iso bad players in position
 then win the pot
 however
 in xxxxxxxx trying to do this is tough
 and id imagine its similar most places in UK
 coz people never fold
 like limp limp raise, people behind are calling pretty wide
 so if u think u have an edge i think its good to start out trying to iso in position and take down the pot
 but if u find urself going multiway oop a lot and cant get players behind u to fold
 then its better just to overlimp and play ur hand postflop multiway for cheap
 coz ur obv just burning money trying and failing to iso a lot
 as for sitting less deep in 1/2 instead, again depends on the lineup and depends on u
 if u think u play better deeper stacked stay in 1/1
 if u like ur shorter stacked games where u can get it in cheap with draws etc then sit in 1/2


Thoughts on this MSN convo re: cash games.

I was speaking to a man today who's job it is (Amongst other things) to act as ghost-writer for several of Derby's notables. It falls to him to pen "Personal" letters of invitation, acceptance, gratitude etc.   

He told me that me that it was a regular occurrence for him to be acting on behalf of two people and find that he is sending letters which the recipient then passes on to him. He writes back and receives his own reply, thereby conducting both sides of the same conversation.

Derby has notables?
