Sigh K.K. just busted in 5th. Home now, slightly merry, had a good time railing and socialising tonight. Met Honey Badger and had a good chat with him, he talks a lot of sense. up 400 on cash and got 70 for my 5% of K.K. A good day. Shared a table with Tikay too today. Had an interesting opening exchange...

I don't even remember who was involved because they are all so bad at poker I don't even waste my time looking at their faces. I played every hand amazing because I that's what I do. They played terrible because that's what they do. I can remember one hand where I took all this guys money, instantly stood up, fist pumped the air, high fived the dealers and then shouted at the guy as he walked away from the table about how bad he was and how he should have folded. This made me feel really good inside.

Then did you go and play the .50/1 game?

From an ex dealer who is now trying tomaximise his hourly rate playing No Limit Texas Holdthem, what is your policy on tipping the dealer?

its a tricky balance. i tip for all big pots, rarely for medium and small pots, unless I happen to have got very lucky or coolered someone for example. If I'm losing I don't tip as much as if I'm winning. It's just a feel thing I don't have a formula or anything just what feels right. Oh and who is dealing massively affects how much I tip. Good dealers and dealers I like obvious getting more than bad ones etc. Any pot over £500 i give about 1% probably.

Is that why I never get tipped?

Got 280all in on flop with 68% equity and lost, politely said nice hand and stepped away from the table for a few minutes. Brags.

I never tip midgame- only when I cashout

Also, please write a paragraph of no more than 150 words on mitchell johnson.

MITCHELL JOHNSON used to consider kicking a football a good use of his extremely special talents and gifts. However as soon as he started to grow his curly ginger pubes, the gambler inside him began to release itself. He cast aside long term girlfriends and bravely immersed himself into the poker community and lifestyle. He has worked very hard to be where he is today, considering he has had his fair share of bad luck but naturally, perseverance and unrelenting resolve supersedes misfortune. I wish him all the best in the times ahead. Let’s hope one day he is famous enough that we will all be proud to say, “I knew Mitch Johnson”.

Not enough love for this... Very good effort! Well done sir!

The few times dealers seem to question I ask them if they would like me to explain to the table how silly it is to tip midgame, and he obviously would like me to spend whatever I was going to give him at the end on Guinness.

Played in a really good and quite deep 1/2 game yesterday. Was a rele soft table as well except for Mitch. Managed to get 650 in pre with KQo lol vs Mitch who, in a really good squeezing spot woke up with Jacks. Don't really need to say who won the flip do I?

Also guess who found Aces with 10minutes to go with Florian basically calling off a grand pre with Q5clubs and someone else in for 300 with 89?!

Was a swingy session but decided the experience of playing in a big game would be good and was pleased to hold my own and win lots of pots but just lost the massive ones, QT vs T7ss allin on QTx ss and the big flip with mitch. Up £100 by the end of the night.

Going to see True Grit tonight, which I hear is really good. Probably going to stop by Gala on the way home for the final session of the month. Results to be published tonight!
