[Insert funny and witty diary title here]

[dreenie]

Yeah im not a fan. I find Mcintyre hideously annoying at times. His over enthusiasm really puts me off and he always comes across as he is trying really hard to be funny, another characteristic that tends to put me off. I have found one or two of his jokes funny but not many

I don't really do "hate" as such. He really isn't my cup o'char and I find his blandness unappealing. I don't think he has added anything, that's all.

I don't throw the remote at the telly if he comes on or anything

lolol. there is only one person in this world that makes me come very close to this and that's James Cordon. How that man has managed to forge out a career away from acting really is beyond me.

Very surprised by this, I think he was great in Gavin & Stacey - Gavlaaaaaaaa!

I don't mind his acting that much (although i am not the biggest Gavin and Stacey fan, unlike the missus), it's all the other stuff he does away from acting that i find extremely irritating. His presenting, talk shows, panel shows etc etc. I just don't think he is funny in the slightest.

I did however find the 3 steaks clip quite funny

I played for 1st time in ages last night. I was quite happy with how i played throughout the session, i made some mistakes in big pots but overall i was quite happy. But then i had a poor 10 minutes which ended in me tilting off 20 quid in the most horrific way after i lost a big pot so i snap shut the laptop. I need to stop quitting when things don’t go right, especially when i was playing ok for the day. I lost about 2 buy ins which is normal so i don’t understand why i have started to tilt so easy. I’m going to have to look at it in detail over the weekend and try to address it as it definitely is having a big impact on my game at the moment.

Anyway, I’m going back to Blackburn today to see the family so won’t have the internet until i'm back on Sunday. As a Rovers season ticket i will be going to game on Saturday which is a huge game for us. We really need to win these next 2 home games v Derby and Huddersfield. I think if we don’t get good results we are heading for League 1.

Since Venkys have taken over we nearly got relegated in their 1st half season, then got relegated in their 1st full season and now very close to getting relegated in their 2nd full season. That is some achievement after taking over a mid-lower steady premiership club that was regarded as one of the best run clubs in the country.

I saw a quote from one of our owners the other day, he said “in football there are 2 outcomes, win or lose”.........sigh

I may not play poker again until i get the computer up and running. I’m also going to stop the challenge I had set myself on here. It’s now close to needing 20 buy ins for the month to complete it and with the volume i am likely to put in i think it will be better if i just concentrate on grinding 30nl rather than getting to 50nl.

Gl to everyone over the weekend.

lol I'm surprised anyone that is new to Sky has me tagged in a complimentary way with how i have been playing over the last month. I suspect you are being kind

Lambert must be hitting these Aces, your not the first who has mentioned his ability to catch them. Must be nice to be Lambert

Yeah you can PM name or stick it on here. If you would rather not tell me your name that is fine, i dont mind.

How you finding Sky? you think you going to stay on the site. I know a lot of people have issue with the software when they start.

That's probably cos I only play AA Shame when I get big pairs in V Dohhh (ahead) they never hold

Had the most brutal day ever yesterday. Somehow managed to only be like -£200 which must have been some kinda miracle after how it felt. About to post the update from today's play on my diary now but thankfully I was +£120 tonight so that's recouped most of the damage from yesterday.

@Celtic - very interested to find out your Sky alias. You usually play a lot of tables? I'm just trying to think if I've noticed any new multi tablers to the level.

Well things certainly turned around for you after this post

Well done again Lambert

[AJR14]

I haven’t played much since the last update. i played one little breakeven session the other day, nothing really to note. Couple of coolers and weird hand where i should have folded KK pre flop for the first time ever but didn’t, they obv had AA.

Going to be playing 30nl again today but may end up dropping back down to 20nl if i have another poor session or two. It got to the point last week that i felt i was going to lose the hand every time i played one which is why i haven’t played much since. Confidence can be a real killer at times.

 
2 great results for Rovers over last few days which is exactly what we needed but unfortunately other results weren’t great so we still in trouble. It’s such a mad league the championship, it’s so tight. From 9th to 23rd there is only 8 points difference. Some tough games coming up and only one more home game for us so we certainly far from being safe. Its lucky we have Rhodes at the moment, we would be down for certain without him.

[Tal]

Will the Venkys sell him in the summer?

Can they afford to keep him?

Can they afford not to?

[Lambert180]

Yeah it's certainly been a great few days for me. I've played 3 MTTs in the last 3-4 days and have come 1st in two of them Then I luckbox getting picked for TSP, could be just the right time to go on a heater :p

Got my roll up to like 60BIs for 30NL now so 'never say never' but hopefully won't have to consider moving down from here because I'm gonna continue with the (relatively) tight BRM. Will start taking a few shots @ 50NL when I get to £2k+ but probably just like 1 table of 50NL on the side of 4-5 tables of 30NL at first and only if I spot a decent table going.

By the way, it looks like that Chrissy_C has been banned for the multi accounting, aint seen them on the tables once now for a week or so compared to usually being on virtually every night.

Venkys would definitely sell him at the right price. However it's a weird situation with Rhodes, we overpaid a lot for him which could lead to trouble if we cant afford to keep him. We paid 8 million and put him 35k-40k a week. No championship clubs will pay anywhere close to that, let alone above it, even after the goals he has scored. It will also be a big risk for any premiership club so they wont spend over that. Venkys wont understand why they arent being offered 10+ mill for him so i can see him still being here next year, unless we get relegated.

Im a huge fan of Rhodes but he does have his critics. Parts of his game like holding up the ball and bringing others into play are poor at times which will put people off spending that money because they are huge parts of todays game. His finishing though is some of the best i have seen at Ewood and we have been lucky enough to have seen some great forwards in the past. I firmly believe that if you took every forward from mid table premiership and below, only a few would come close to scoring the amount of goals he has scored in what is a very poor Blackburn team. I think he could be a solid Premiership forward, whether teams will gamble on him is a different matter.

If they did sell him, it would be essential we use the money wisely when reinvesting - something they do not have a good record with.

Definitely the best time to go after a good week. Just don't muck your hands until you know you have lost

Sounds like they may have been banned then. i wonder if they have banned the other account. I don't know the normal procedures, will it be a permanent ban for him?

Anyway glgl over weekend.

Sadly not... this is the conversation JJ had with them while playing at the table earlier:

DOHHHHHHH> chrissy do u have chat open?
Chrissy_C> ye
DOHHHHHHH> what was the other alias u played on?
Chrissy_C> stil going on about that...really...
DOHHHHHHH> surely only fair that regs knowthat do u c why?
heidabaw> 666
Chrissy_C> its all been sorted now
DOHHHHHHH> theyre obv not banning u. so whatever. but i mean surely u understand how you're gaining a huge edge
DOHHHHHHH> they shud at least tell us the other alias
Chrissy_C> kendal1989 but its been closed now so it dont even matter
DOHHHHHHH> ofc it matters, im amazed u dont understand why
Chrissy_C> bcos its been closed....
DOHHHHHHH> yes, but what about the 1000's of hands regs have played v kendal1989? the notes they have etc. these now apply to chrissy_c
DOHHHHHHH> also how kendal1989 views them.
DOHHHHHHH> v important no?
DOHHHHHHH> fwiw I've never even heard of that other alias. so wudnt be surprised if it's made up. but whatever. good luck cu at the tables later
Chrissy_C> laters

========================================

I don't mind so much, and generally give the benefit of the doubt that it was not done with any bad intent but it is only fair that we know the original alias and I'm pretty sure it wasn't Kendal1989 because I've never seen that alias before and they must have been on ALOT to make Priority at 30NL. Oh well, what can ya do, shouldn't take too long to get some notes going again, and his notes might not be relevant anymore anyway because we may play a certain way because of how he plays, and as we don't know how he plays anymore, we won't, so we won't necessarily be playing the way his notes say etc.

I'm gonna post up in my diary tomorrow about it, but yeah it was a great weekend at the Monte Carlo. Sadly fell just short of Day 2, but was always gonna be playing for the win. I had about 70xBB during the 2nd to last level so could have easily cruised into Day 2 by sitting back but that's not how I roll

[AJR14]

I was going to come on and say that my lack of updates had nothing to do with my recent bad run but that would probably be a lie. Even though it’s not my intention to not post when running bad it definitely kills any motivation to write about it so will ultimately influence the number of posts. I don’t want the thread to turn into a moaning thread but with the variance in poker i suppose sometimes it will be unavoidable.

So, how has the poker been going? Not great. I have had to drop back down to 20nl for the time being and variance is kicking me right in the goolies every time i log on. I won’t pretend i am playing well, but every time i flop big, oppos seem to turn the nuts. I can’t win flips and if i end up all in with the best hand i lose the majority. The run has certainly dented my confidence, some sessions i feel like i won’t win a hand and i have started to miss out on a lot of thin value spots due to playing it safe.

The confidence issue is one that i really shouldn't be having but creeps in all the time. My problem is i see the Bankroll figure as a sign of results, but i withdraw a lot each month due to being unemployed at the moment so the results are never as bad as they seem.

Im going to be grinding 20nl for the foreseeable i think. I need to fully rebuild the confidence and with the standard being quite poor it will be the perfect place to rebuild.

The computer still isn’t ready. Been told it should be ready for next week which will be great. Having a proper place to play on will help a lot, i tend to end up watching TV when on laptop which isn’t good for the game. I will probably be able to add more tables as well with the computer. I know adding more when not playing well is a risk but one of my problems at the moment is playing to many hands so adding tables may help, if not i will just reduce them again.


Also watched the boxing last night. Even though i’m not a big fan of Tyson Fury he is quite entertaining to watch. However, he is nowhere near good enough to take on the klitschkos. The guy has a little talent but he is far from being on the same level as them. If he is getting knocked down from a cruiserweight (a good cruiserweight) he is likely to struggle v any good proper heavyweights. Think he needs to cut down on the theatrics and get down to some hard work. Also wtf was that singing about?? lol.

Was going to say he was still playing the other day. i have seen the Kendal alias before but was ages ago at the lower levels. I haven't seen them grinding 30nl though. As you say, what can you do. Sky let themselves down in these situations though, and as said earlier in the thread its not the first time.

Will look forward to the update, haven't heard anything about it really, just knew you didn't make day 2. ul

[Katais]

Not seen you on any social media lately rocketman.

Short notice but think some ppl r doing some hand reviews on skype this aft if u wanna join/have any you wanna look at.

If your bankroll permits, you should really be trying to play as much 30nl as possible atm, never seen the tables so good.

Prob coz u aren't there 

Will be from now till close of play anyway, if you're not around, good luck turning your fortunes round this week. Should only be a matter of time.
