Seems much improved, wp John!
tyvm mate... i am. And this weekends deepstack is a direct result of a much more value orientated game. Apparently when people don't fold a lot, we should just play for value and they neither notice nor care that we haven't played a hand for an hour they still call when we raise rivers with
on
and we win lots of chippies....
Shame about running into Bedi but tbh I think i played near optimally the entire day, opened so much some times it was insane... think best was something like 6 hands in a row.... no one did anything about it then i calmed down and they didn't even notice the lack of me in the pot. Only person that did was Tom L who asked for a JB update on the thread... Just as I was raking a top3 stack in!
I can't thank all the blonde hero's enough for their kind words and comments over the weekend, and the rail! C even asked if she should get a train up to rail the FT... I was so chuffed and seeing her there with her 6" heels on and im sure something inappropriately awesome would've been the topping on the cake should I have made the FT, but instead I decided to give G2L a £30k gift I'm told in ICM that is.... thanks L'honore, so glad I now know that
Stag do StuffSo have a stag do to sort and be part of this weekend for my mate Aaron, in Northampton. We're going to do quad biking or something in the morning and a comedy gig in the afternoon... then out for a night on the toon with all the lads and a few dads! Today I managed to pickup a bunch of random 'props' to use on the night out IF i can't get hold of some simple but cool themed Jumpsuits (he's in RAF).
We have the following:
- pom poms
- pimp cane
- glitzy microphone
- Sheppard's crook
- an oscar style statue
- union jack hat
- giant syringe
- massive pretend balla gold chain
- caveman club
- inflatable guitar
- some tatoo spray paint (safer than using the stags actual tatoo needles - being removed from house by the bride2be) and a little white 'forfeit' dress....
So the plan is to give each 'thing' a number and pick numbers out of a hat.. then people will be assigned that object for the next x amount of hours and they can use its 'special power' to force a member of the group (generally stag) to enact the power... e.g. the oscar statue will make someone stand up and do a winners speach for the activity they're doing like drinking or the food they're eating etc...
By rotating the props every 2/3 hours we won't get anyone dejected all day because they can only make someone sing the national anthem or something.
Couple this with whatever drinking games I can get away with and whatever drinking rules I can remember and we should be sorted!
- left hand rule
- thumbmaster
- tell her
- pinkies up
- aussie rules
- etc etc etc...
any further suggestions are more than welcome..
Also, if we win a dtd150 seat tonight then we're going to be playing tomorrow night and as such will be battered for the stag-do and have to hurry our ass up to get to DTD for day2 should we make it.... hmmm.... not sure if its worth it.
Todays satellite progess/ cash grindPlayed lots and lost many hands.. we've run deepish in a few but no we've realised we're going to be here for the chipleader tournament I figured I'd give it a go..
[ ] going well so far
[ ] got it in bad all the time
[ ] matters....
Think we lost something like 4 flips in a row all in before the community cards before we took one back for the good guys, and that was vs one of the best 'regs' ive noticed on the site so that was nice.
They've all been for big stacks at crucial times, but c'est la vie... this is the game. Tbh i dont think ive even flinched or gotten frustrated or anything at any of them. When something is super super standard I just say 'oh that's a shame' and carry on. GREAT MENTAL TEKKERS ITT!
Other than that finally got hu in a golden chip Grand Prix sat and felt like i was crushing the guy, he then goes on to donk donk donk
on
... and by the river my
is not the best hand - wp sir... mustve known i guess.
Then we got it in with
vs
to return to same stacks and we do not win - sigh... wp we won E45 tho which is a nice return and pays for 2/3 of the small sat's we've played. Just need to win our entry into the bigger ones tonight to make the day a winnar!
So back to it and as a present for reading, enjoy these.... courtesy of my grind 'group'.
