"The Downswings of Property and Poker"

You got his autograph, that'll be worth something.

When Rich got knocked out of the deepstack last weekend, everyone at the table wanted to shake his hand when he left.  I haven't washed mine since.

That was funny, it was like everyone was gutted I got Ko'd!

Except you ofc as it meant you might win a few pots 

[ ] I did.

Big thx for the winner y/day but never been so gutted tbh.
At DTD Monday after a winner on the second half corners in the Man Utd match I lumped on the profit and stake onto someone elses tip and it was GG then despite not feeling great sat down in the £150 at DTD bluffed off my first entry with 10high and no equity and then got blinded away in a series of raise re-raise spots and a run of cards that could make 2 different straghts and flushes and therefore missed the 25/1  that I was going to pre Black Monday have £100e/w on.

Tuesday comes and we see it is now 16/1 and cant get out as after 4 days out of the office its manic so wait till Weds where the best price is now 14/1 with B/fred and by 9.30 this is 12/1 so having halved in price I stick £40 win as I decide I have now missed the value therefore imo I back it big and it will finish 2/3/4th and it will be FML on the place money or I back it e/w and it runs nowhere and I have then done double the dough on half the price!
So happy and prepared to lose £40 and then I watch a brilliant ride by Mr Crowley and there was only one winner off the last   SIGH

Seems ridiculous, but I know what you mean, a bloke I work with backed it but not until yesterday morning. I told him over skype while we were working and he got distracted after opening up to put it on. I should have put it up, but when he said that it had moved yards only a couple weeks previously and that might scupper it I decided to not say anything to be safe

A guy on our forum blindly backs Crowley on anything no matter the race/price and he gets ribbed mercilessly for it. I said after that race maybe he's onto something as that looked like one of the slickest rides I can remember and it was like he had the whole race planned from the off!!

You know it's bad when you're sighing at winning a monkey

Went to BnQ this morning as had a load of DIY type stuff to do, missus says to me, "is that Pine", i say no "it's Timber" she says "what tree is that from then?.." FML I am thick. So it appears Timber isn't an actual type of wood? meh, i'm still confused.

My main reason for posting this morning, reading my programme and what do I see written on the sender's address. Nice initials Sir.

Thanks BITB

In a mutual show of <3 I also read your diary everyday and everyone of your PHA posts!!

Hmmmm next 5 years, well on a personal level we would love to have at least 2 more "dustbin lids" flying around the house!!

Workwise is more difficult as I am very pigeon holed in terms of I earn decent money doing what I do and dont need to devote all my time to do it, hence the time able to browse on here etc whilst still negging deals but I have a small business idea we would like to start whilst also pushing/developing Petra's budding Photography of newborns/families/pets from home/location but that is where the gamble is!!
Obv not being a gambly type person  the circumstances have to be right to enable me to give that a go.

Poker I think my level of thinking has developed loads over the past year due to here/you/talking to better players etc etc but ultimately it is and only ever will be able to be a hobby I can nick a few quid at occasionally due to age  /commitments in terms of family/our property portfolio etc.
However as I said to you at the end of last year the first 1/2 this yr was likely to be manic and was and I have played no volume of anything but the light is towards the end of the tunnel and I can see myself griniding some hands online in spare time to enable hopefully the chance to freeroll into the events I would like to play regularly if that makes sense?

Eg last night Petra was out so I fired up 2 tables of ss 6m cash and played winning 2bi's in just over 1 hour just value betting well and flopping quads twice which helps  and would like to grind this way for a while as never used a HUD or HEM just feel/game flow so want to step up from there.

Good Q BITB   how about you?

Thanks for dinner last week, as promised. Was good to see you.

Twat.
