Luton & The Aftermath - Diary

[celtic]

Mulhuzz on the buses thread made me realise I haven't mentioned Celtic for a while.

Big turnaround. 15 point defecit at the beginning of November. Now 2 points ahead. Love it when it's like this. Heading for another helicopter Sunday. Boba Frett will be disappointed this time. Hopefully.

"buses thread", behave.

Loved the Celtic troll though.

Incredible comeback by your boys ("bhoys"?), has a 15 point defecit ever been overturned so fast?

You have finally remembered which is which!! Congrats.

I can't remember a turnaround so quick. 7 weeks it took I think. Though we did have 2 games in hand. Can quite easily change again. Sadly, the last few years, maybe longer, it's been a case of which team is less shite, rather than which team is better.

I get in trouble most nights on 865 with the "bhoys" thing. Lots - loads - of players include "bhoys" in their screen-name, & I can never remember which Team it refers to, Blue or Green, so to speak, & I usually get it wrong. Think I get more complaints about that than my deep insightful poker analysis.

Good to see the Nando's Chronicles (your Diary) back in full blathery flow.

Be careful in that private cash game, man. I learned an expensive lesson in one of those many moons ago, despite being warned to be careful by a very old bloke who is usually right. And was.

Thank you, it's run by people I know, and dealt by dealers I know, I also know a lot of the players. It's 100% OK. Wouldn't ever go somewhere where I didn't really know anyone. I'm not Greeky you know..

So was the game I played.

This.... biggest set up grim ever on me was setup by my best mate from 11 years old.... we live in a world where we start with trust no one and go from there... i have mentioned to you i feel something is wrong with the game..... because you know them and dealers doesn't mean its not a stitch from the start... the most elaborate ones always look the most kosher on the face of it..cos there meant to..and yes u will be allowed to win sometimes

Details of grim please. As for the cash game, I have no doubt it is fine. Too many G regs play it, and without being cruel, the dealers aren't clever enough to control the game in any way. As for the players involved, well, lets just say, if they could nick a grand from the game by cheating, it would make absolutely no difference to their financial position. For some, If they could nick £50k per week, it prob wouldn't make much difference to their lives.

with regards to the private game thing, if its the one run by who I think then I think its pretty safe  but I've never been but intend to go soon as it sounds pretty incred!

Yes it is Scotty. I think.

How's the gym going?

Terribly. I'm a lazy fker. Will def go Sunday or Monday. If not I will wash Sir Donks car.

How's the nandos going?

wiiii, mulhuzz gets right into it straight away.

The atmosphere was electric tikay, the room was buzzing and you don't usually experience this sort of think in England. It's pretty similar to the buzz you get in Irish comps and one of the reasons I enjoy playing there so much.

Very well played Vin. Hope you get up here more often now

Ireland has been my nut favourite place to play poker.

Beats England and even Vegas by miles. Everyone having fun, playing the game in the spirit it should be played. Love the Irish.

In live poker, 2 or 3 people usually irritate me hugely but in 3 trips to Ireland I haven't had one person annoy me or a bad table.

Actually, for how Tikay knocks alcohol the Irish (when I've been) seem to be a great example of how to consume alcohol. Drink it by the bucket but don't turn into pricks.

I don't knock alcohol as such, as those who cannot hold their ale, & get aggro after a few mild ales, & start prodding me, & spraying me with their filthy saliva as they attempt to slur. I'd be surprised if anyone enjoyed that, to be honest. "Funny drunks" I love.

Ireland? Agree. It's one of the nut fun places to play poker, & I've never had a spot of bother with unruly drunkards in Ireland. I've played in Dublin at The Merrion (now long closed), Fitzwilliam, Sporting Emporium (vey nice), Jackpot Club, & away from Dublin, at Galway, Cork, + 2 pretty iffy spielers in Belfast. Poker in Ireland is generally played with a smile - as it should be.

I'll never forget a cashgame that I played in Waterford with Compo sat in the same game too.

At one point, after following Tony's lead three players in one pot were playing "Indian poker" with one card stuck to their foreheads.

I miss compo at Luton, He was a great character & great fun.

The reason I haven't gave the story about my dad is A) It is quite long & B) It is quite long.

Gonna go for a smoke and see if I can think of a short version.

Whilst I do, can someone explain why the child should make up with the parent? Yes, they are old etc, but how would he feel if me or my sister died? Surely it's a 2 way street?

Because he's your dad.

He would feel terrible obviously.

How about he should make an attempt, because we are his children?

Nothing to do with me, but if you want to make up with him just do it. Forget the right or wrong and just do it.

Did he refuse to buy you dinner??

Perhaps he should, but does that mean you shouldn't?

Two wrongs don't make a right. "I wont because he wont" is a poor argument.

Actually Vin, I need to butt out here. It's a purely personal thing that you have to handle as you see fit.

Right and wrong, like beauty, are in the eye of the beholder,

Haha, it was nothing THAT serious

No, you don't need to butt out, I am writing out the story, would be good to get views on it. I have spoke to Nirvana about it, and I think he agreed with me.

It's not a case of I won't because he won't, or vice versa, It's more a case of he thinks he is doing nothing wrong, we think he is, and I think he has taken the piss out of me, and to a lesser extent, my sister for the last year or so. Anyway, you decide...

[RED-DOG]

OK.

Butting back in.....

It's nice of Tom to agree to butt out, I won't! Sort it with your old man!
