Awesome read so far, favourite opening in the post in any diary on here so far!

Although not very impressed you drink Carlsberg...

Haha. I don't. Mostly red bull or water. But the Carlsberg glasses have there logo on them so thought it would be easier to imagine!

I really loved my first time at DTD, when it was an experience and not about just winning. I came 25th+ out of 100+ runners in a £30 freezeout the first year it opened and was so happy at how deep I ran in a proper live torney.

This!

My first time at DTD was a trip for the Pup Poker League Finals. I drove down with a car full of 20 somethings from our local to support our one finalist. Played some cash and had my eyes opened as to how poker should be organised.
I remember winning my first pot and reaching out to drag in the chips before the dealer had taken the rake. My hands were metaphorically slapped and I learnt my lesson. That was the first time I'd seen someone go all in without having to show their cards too. It was all so new and so exciting.

I played a tourney that day and survived long enough to think that I'd done well (I hadn't, but I didn't know that at the time)

DTD spoilt me for the games I'd been playing (Pub and Rileys) and I've been making more and more drives down the A1/M18/M1 since.
I managed to cash in one of the early Super50s and from then on I was hooked.
It was a trip to DTD that coincided with a Blonde Bash that brought me here too. That place has a lot to answer for


I live around 130 miles from Nottingham but played there at least 20 days last year. The atmosphere is always good, but days like the UKIPT or the January DeepStack this year are amazing.
Grand Prix weekends, well, obviously I love them, and, come hell or waters high I shall be there this weekend. With a bit of luck I can spend Saturday playing cash or a tourney in between railing my daughter's attempt to convert her Golden Chip.

Think i have told you before Dave but your Daughter is a lovely lady, and if i was single i would marry her just so i can be as lucky as you, see u over the weekend mate.

I dont we've ever really spoke much other than a hello here and there, but I have to say in a way you've proved your own point with this post. The impression I've formed of you, through nothing other than a guess similar to one you'd make at a poker table like "this old guy is probably tight", makes me really surprised to read this post.

Clicked on the link expecting to see something fairly generic, and actually think thats the most interesting post I've ever read on blonde. Mainly because I can massively relate to absolutely all of it. REally eloquently describes everything that I love about live poker, and stirs up memories of some of the most poignant moments of my poker "career".

How old are you? I also thought you were younger than me but you seem way more grown up!!

Your "laissez-faire" attitute should serve you well. I certainly wouldn't worry about trying too hard or w/e... in reality your probably not doing anything different now than you were when you shipped all those tournaments. Those results were down of course in part to luck, and on the flip-side, your recent strife will more than likely be down to bad-luck! Like you say, just keep doing what you're doing, and just play as well as you can, and more success will come.

Enthusiastically subscribed - enjoy

I'm nearly 26 Andrew. Yeah, we have played a couple of times before and same with Alex, Paul and Mitch. I don't think alot of people have the right image as me as a person. I can be annoying and irritating sometimes, and spew so bad it is laughable. But, I am really quite a quiet person and just enjoy company.

Best of luck with everything Stato, including online where your winning in a game that is too tough for me.

Shared a table with you a dozen or so times.  You've never come across as irritating or annoying during those times.

Yeah same, maybe my post came across slightly wrong. No reason at all to think u were irritating and annoying, and you didn't spew at all either. Can't even really describe it just the post surprised me somehow! Wasnt that I formed a bad impression in any way

Sweet. Naah It didnt come like that and I didn't mean it as I feel you or anyone dislikes me. I liked the fact you have had the same sort of experience or can relate to my op. After simply writing it down it, I really have 'woken up' to alot that am doing wrong in life and also in poker.

PS. Had about 4 attempts at trying to get this out of a quote and failed.
I will learn how to reply correctly soon.

You need the number of ["quote"] brackets to match the number of ["/quote"] brackets. otherwise they all get bunched up together, half the time it's a problem with the message you quote rather than something you do yourself.
