Do you have a definite answer to who the better Dtd regs are. Keith Johnson for my money is the standout player followed by the small group including Mitch simon Julian etc. I honestly would not know who the winning cash players are but noticed you thought the mid week game was becoming more reg heavy than fishy. How does the rake at gala compare to Dtd and the stakes n fishyness of the game.
Yes I have a definite answer, but namecalling on a public forum is just bad form so all I'll say is yes, Keith is the standout player for me too.
He stands out as being the biggest doosch.

RE rake,
50/1 gala>>>>>50/1 dtd ainec both in terms of value and rake
No 1/2 at Gala, at DTD the rake is £7 compared to the £6 at 50/1.

what a game tonight. was an absolute maniac who turned up at about 1 and donated 4.5k. I've played with him before and he's definitely erratic, but tonight was something else. Unloaded the clip basically every hand!
Was shaping up to be a frustrating night, nothing was going right, was down 700 at one point. Keith was playing on my right, never played him before, we had a couple of interesting staker/stakee battles. Did a big bluff on him which got through but it was no big deal
Fistpump-got 500 allin pre with AK vs the maniac which held up for a 1k pot, which got me back to level at about 430am. Then finally flopped a set (after like a gazillion small-med pairs that had missed) with 88 vs Tom "giveyourcash" who lived up to his name and gave me his cash by paying off a river c/raise to 400 with QQ on 875KT. Jk pal - I cant resist a halfdecent play on words...
Was an extremely satisfying and rewarding session, a 1.1k swing from low to high point so I ended up 450
Great to get out of a big hole and have patience rewarded. Also, whilst Tom was tanking after my £400 river c/raise the adrenaline rush was abs incred! love it
Worst played hand ever
I pretty much forgot to engage my brain at any point. It's bad enough turning your hand face up but then to misplay it as well is almost criminal. I really really botched two hands that night and it cost me about £800. That's the first time I've been disappointed being up £700 by the end of the night. #humblebrag

It's the fish that make the game rather than the regs. Last night I was sat at a table with 3 guys I'm pretty sure are better than me and one I didn't know too much about but assumed from table talk was better than me at an 8 handed table but the game was still worth playing in.

Your friend Augustine was a lucky omen. After you told him how good I was he railed me all night and I ended up winning the £50 turbo comp. Am sure I won £1100 but it's amazing how many people are broke and managed to get back to my house with £850 profit on the day.
I think he has a tell on you but he would not tell me what it was. He works at Rolls Royce so a nice contact when your dad is looking for a new car

nice bargsss sir. wp.
that guy's funny, everyone calls him Argos. today he accidentally sat down on the 1/2 next to me, thought it was 50/1, said oh shit wrong table, got up to move but had already been dealt in, I stacked him that hand! Did feel a bit sorry for him, he's a really nice guy.
had really fun day today with my mates from london. didnt play much poker, just chilled at mine and had lots of ridiculous banter. was in stitches laughing most of the night - good times.

He sat with me on .50/1 later on and told that story, big oops but he is hilarious. Kinda put me off my game a bit. Cool guy though.

yeah was an eventfull night. shadi had a fall out with argos and being a turbo i had to play one or two hands more than i am comfortable with.
you are always a good dealer for me but a lot of people like you and alex were tipping me. but lets be honest it aint hard to pick the odds on thorough breed favourite in a race full of donkeys

Our hero without doubt. And yes its hardly a claim to fame that we tipped you to win true.
I liked the guys open from UTG to 2200 with
at 50/100 blinds.

Argos is not best to be sat at the table with imo. I play with him on the 50/1 at Gala and he takes a lifetime everyhand. Really slows the game. Havnt dealt to him at dtd for a long time though. Was shadi trying to keep his game flowing to no avail?

Is this Argos as in Agostino Tiso?
