Confidence at an all time low so playing badly and clueless.

Stato said the other day that out of the top 20 alltime money winners at DTD according to theHM, he reckons only 5 or 6 could beat 50NL online. These are people who have cashed for over $100k lifetime in one club but couldn't beat a 25c/50c cash game. And I'd agree with that, and it just shows how ridiculous it is to go by the hendonmob as any sort of ranking system for who's good and who's not.

And this is coming from me who only really has the hendon mob as any legit backup that I'm a pro lol - I could very easily fall into the category in most people's eyes of one of the people that luckboxed a big comp and has not built a bankroll from scratch the hard way.

its not true though because you really work on your game and you are legit good.

i'd say the binks helped you have the security and freedom to learn the game without financial constraints.

Thanks Pads. If you want any help in beefing up your HM then lmk, mates rates an' all

Hi Alex, not saying its the case with Jason as dont personally know him, but do you think a lot of the problems people have when they THINK they are not running well/getting results is that they just get complacent with the gameplay that used to (or they thought did) work for them. When i backed horses a lot i heard all sorts of rubbish from people in betting shops, but then met a really good professional gambler and could instantley tell what he said made sense, talking to a lot of you  on here has also made sense compared to bull you can pick up in various other places.

Very humble of you to admit to Al

omg. Went shopping, took Catherine to work, picked the boys up from school, did some reading and cooked tea

Just sat down for two minutes and a couple of pages to look at. Saw a spat between Patrick n Aaron but this is gonna take some time to respond to.

Sort of hoped Tighty would have moved this out of PHA before all the kids woke up and pokerstoved my life.

Give me time I am on it but might be after bath time before I can respond properly

[smashedagain]

Right got so much I want to say but we are painting ATM and I've just knocked a pot of mucky paint water everywhere so have to give the kids the time and attention they deserve. Nice to see Dave n Titty post but will read in a bit.

And by the way 64 replies is more than double the amount of replies that I can see for any other hand

Edit: is that all you wrote TiTty ffs

See, you cause trouble without even trying, even when you are offline!

Moved at OP's request hint.

Over/under on number of Pages set at 10.

I'm a buyer.

[redsimon]

Candidate for BoB if it does

[pleno1]

its actually pha though, poker is more than hands.

[cambridgealex]

Yes but pha is for hands, ducy?

[smashedagain]

Yes Patrick but I needed it moving before all you guys got here and ripped me a new one.

Love Tals reply too.

Really appreciate all the comments and will reply. I especially like what you are saying Pleno but as you know my attitude towards poker is closer at Aaron's than yours. I can't even remember my user names from back in the day when online poker first started. I thought it was smashed/smash etc but when I've asked people to bring up my stats we can't find em. Some sites might have been Jason Herbert but am pretty sure my wsop and UKIPT seat wins were under smashedagain. Just wish I could find all my stats to look at because I am pretty sure I am on on line losing player despite winning seats for fun for a few years. I played a few mtt's in the mid 2000's but nothing of any substantial volume but was playing 30-40 hours a week.

New diary so much better than the old one Jason.

[Amatay]

Ha, just read thru this shit. Are the people who bang on about HendonMob real. FML, sooo deluded and such tiny brains. Do they not get it? Do they not understand? Grrrr, tilted me a bit tbh reading Aaron esp bleating on about Hendon Mob? WTF?? Tilt!!!!!!!

lol. Both heart on sleeve stuff open and honest. Just as if you give it you have to take it , then crowing about Marrakesh, Herbiemob and stars paying forum wedding then I t has to be balanced out by some bad times.
Once again I find myself feeling like I am stood in Tesco naked with posting what I am feeling at the moment but will carry on regardless. Will reply later when I get chance.

Lol hi Simon. Lets be constructive and see if we can get Cos to post
