An Ape and a notebook, how long will it take?

• in before Rob Yong announces a 10k tag team DTD comp.

Don't bet on it.

You've had a bit of a mare today mate. Get your PR sorted again and get some <3.

Upset that my post above did not much more love. I thought it was one of my funniest trolls/lols to date

funny but a bit of a tap-in. i couldve thought of that.

your edge is from the "bowls of rice to the burmese" type lines that no-one else would come out with!

I liken it to a tap in on the moon.

Yes easy to do, but you have to know about it and the intricacies of it to tap it in.

PR nightmare today, I'll get the Sunday papers on the spin for me.

£1k is way too much for this sort of thing.

£200 per team would be much more likely to get the runners.

i think the idea is brilliant though and would of course be involved for sure. #dtdtagteamhushootout

I don't mind approaching Rob with the suggestion if you guys wanted? I won't be taking credit for the idea of course!

defo in, shotgun JB. I can just picture myself and the faces i will pull on turns/rivers when I look at our hand and look at the board and wonder how on earth we got here with the betting that has occured. <3 JB

Keen, will play with the father - gulp. I look forward to unpicking the messes my dad has managed to create down the streets.

Agreed re: the pricing though would think for Rob/Simon there is a key pricing point at which the event becomes manageable in terms of rake created/dealers required...

lol of course he's not picked me.



Had a strange session tonight, played bad in some big pots but managed to rescue it by then playing solid.

Then had a massive argument with C about strip clubs thanks to all the comments in my staking thread. - sigh

We've discussed them before and I've made my views perfectly clear - "i'll go when i feel like it and i'll do anything i feel is ok/ appropriate!"  This obviously isn't a loved view from her perspective but i tried to point out that its a 'guy thing' and we just like to look at naked ladies and that if you have ever had the pleasure of a strip club outside of the UK you will know the UK is a joke in comparison.  I hear its the same in Vegas, all sorts of rules and everything... costing a bomb and so forth.  Screw that when you can pay £10 and get something much more fun.

She understandably isn't a massive fan of them and has asked me why i enjoy them... I've tried to explain it but its tough.  The best explanation I've come up with so far is that 'they' get 100% of my attention for a few minutes... but that she gets 80% of my attention 80% of the time... the rest is made up of family, friends, going out, meeting new people and so on and so forth.

Anyways... after reading the posts on my staking thread (ty guys) and how the 'only' thing to do in Stoke is go to the strip club we have the following discussion
C So are you planning on going?
J Nope, no plans at the moment to... why
C Well i want you to tell me
J Yeah i probably would
C Probably?
J Well yeah, if its sh*t i wouldn't bother
C But why...?
J Because to me its like a bar, if its a bad one, i forget it and move on..
C So will you tell me though
J Well if I get too drunk then obviously i wouldn't be able to but yeah if its interesting i would...

And effectively this goes round and round and round and round and round in circles as I get ever more wound up about YES I WILL GO and I WILL TELL YOU IF ITS WORTH IT/ BEEN FUN/ ANYTHING TO TELL and don't understand why she doesn't get it?!

We end up having a massive relationship discussion about all the things that have ever gone wrong in our 4 years and how we split up a year or so ago and how it was different for a bit, then we decided to get back together...

During this 1hour (potentially 2) discussion I play horribly and instead of just playing my B/C game like i have all night and its been slowly winning a little... I make some big errors in poker judgement.


- Bet/call KQ on Qxxddd in 3bp as PFR   (vs AA)
- 3bt btn 10's, ship over regs cold 4bt SB (vs KK)
- 3bt/ get in JJ vs MP open (vs KK) Flop JK10xx
- 3bt A9o OOP and bet/call vs 50bb stack on 1079hh
- raise 77 MP cbet 6xx cc9 cc9 vs Q9o (wp sir)

However I did also play well in some good pots
- bluff caught with J10 on 107xx8 vs 79
- won a nice pot with KQ by call call call raising Kx8KQ  vs K8... (good river)
- BTN vs CO won AK vs KQ aipf (he raise/4bt/call - lolz - ultra rare tho, like a shiny
- won J7 in limped pot vs 300bb eff deep stack on J7xss xd xd.  (got a little scary tbh when i 3bt flop and he called... trying to work out if i wanted to get it all in... thought not! - I like john.)



But ended up losing just under 3bi's within 50 hands of each other in the hands above and insta-quit before anything serious could happen.


Have told her that it was unfair on me to bring up something that we've discussed before and I've made clear and that tbh I think she owes me the $50 we probably lost as a result of the stupid argument that served no purpose but to piss us both off for no reason.

How can you play online whilst having a serious relationship discussion with your girlfriend?

[jgcblack]

Apparently I can't.  But for us both to better understand the evenings plans we agree a 'grind time' and 'our time'...

Then she invades grind time with a discussion and its not like I can tell her to gtfo.

Also, appears I can't do both and win.

Wiiiiiii

Btw John the argument about the strip clubs seems destined for failure. Even if she 'accepts' that you go etc and you tell her she will still be pissed of that your oogling at other women blah blah. Not going sucks.....cause well....... who doesn't want to see some boobs?

Obviously lying about it is the nut line until you get caught

Also LOL at trying to grind poker whilst getting a earful from the Mrs!

Bad prep if not drinking/playing 6am before restarting though


lol at all of the post, its all a favourite but "owe me $50 for disruption caused" was a good one
