Progressive Poker From $0

[tikay]

U introduce yourself but u never mentioned ur name . Have u got one dude ?

The name's Jimmy. My apologies 'Chippyman', aka , my introduction failed on the most basic level. "WHO AM I?"

Worry not.

It's a very strange thing, you know. 90% of the Members who sign up never introduce themselves. I'd no more go shopping stark naked or watch Breaking Bad Bollox  than join a Forum & not at least introduce myself, but the Internet has completely changed society, & how we interact.

As you can see, once we learned a bit about you, the thread found its legs. Where are you from or what do you do for a living is all it takes, or your hobbies etc & people really are interested.

Hi TK . If I wanted to read blogs or books , I defo wanted to know who's blogs it is or who wrote the book . But he/she don't even bother to tell his name or like to keep it secret , then let it be .

Yes, but it's not "don't bother" Frankie, we just interact in a very different way these days.

Whenever I join a poker table I always say hi to everyone. I don't half get some weird looks though.....

What the hell, that man SPOKE TO ME. Obvious nutcase.

Busted the Deepstack Mini.

Out in 106. Shame. 99 places paid. Decided not to just sit and wait for the bubble to burst.

---------------------------------------------------------

Limits 4000/8000/1000. My stack 86,000.

UTG+1 (stack approx. 150,000) raised to 24,000. I shove UTG+3 with  .

Folded round to original raiser who calls with 

Flop comes 

Turn 

River 

------------------------------------------------------

So, my first multi-day deepstack event: put a lot of time and effort in and left with no financial gain. However, I think I got some good experience. I enjoyed having the time to establish an image and the flexibility to make moves. It's definitely something I want to do again, but I think I'll wait a few weeks.
I'm curious as to whether they'll ever run a deepstack of this value again, the overlays have been pretty hefty, so I hear.

Hi There,

Thanks for this info. I'll have to think about whether I come down for those. £60 is at the very top of my buy-in range so once a month is probably sensible for now. It's a shame because I felt like I had the chance to play a much higher quality of poker with the structure in place. Who knows? If I do well this week, I may roll the dice.

And yeah, if I do end up playing, I'll make sure to come and introduce myself. Is there anywhere I can see this blog?

nothing wrong with some good sledging! having played/play cricket at professional level i can tell u it gets nastier and more abusive! just a little more clever than 'ill deck you'!
and im sure your dad doesnt mind you commenting on his mental health
good luck with it all, will have a follow, not sure how u can grind those 9man sngs, sooooo boring!!

Welcome to blonde, if you really want to play mtts at your bank roll level I recomend trying the 45 man turbos you nearly have 100 BI at the 3.50 level

games last about 90 mins and if you can fit in 2 hours you can get 4-6 in multi tabling

I was playing them at 7$ level for a cpl of weeks last month till I had to take a break

None for this week?

Thanks for this, I'll give them a go tonight. For some reason I've always avoided turbos and warmed to regular formats, but as I'm tight for time, I guess I have to adapt.

I'll let you know how I get on.

All it was was a little banter. I don't play at a particularly high level, but I expect in the better divisions the players are either better at dealing with it, or replying to it in a way that doesn't cause problems.

When "you've gone for more runs in your first over than your openers did in their whole spell" is reacted to with near violence rather than a smart reply or taking a wicket, it's a bit off.

9 man sngs are beautiful. Okay, they can be quite mechanical and sometimes boring. But they're where I learnt my game and found my feet, I've got to show them some respect!

if you check out the thread I had on them on the online staking board you can see they are very swingy but good fun

Got into work fairly early today. Quite a busy day. Compared the effectiveness of a few cleaning products on steel that had been immersed in vegetable oil.

Also, been talking of an arbitration case for a shipping company who were transporting vegetable oil after their sixth previous cargo was benzene. Despite there being a big time gap between the two cargoes, some benzene had been found in the vegetable oil by the receiver. They weren't happy about this and are suing the ship owner for not carrying out the correct cleaning process. However, the ship owner insists that the correct cleaning process had been followed. So, the question must be "does the recommended cleaning process ACTUALLY work". And so we're investigating that.

I had the chance to take some pictures of the old workplace, thought it might improve the diary a tad and elevate it from utterly boring to just a bit uninteresting.

No, this isn't something off of breaking bad and I cannot provide you with good gear. Although it just so happens I am in that part of town.

Going to be alone here for 3 weeks as the boss is on holiday. I feel the chances of me blowing something up in this time are uncomfortably high.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I returned from work I decided to sit down and play some poker.

Here are my results for the day:

I didn't cash in my first 7 games, but then I got some good results.

Placed 1st in one 27 man and 2nd in a 45 man.

No terribly interesting hands, so I'll leave that out for today. Obviously took some bad beats, gave some bad beats, the usual, it happens. I'll try and give more details next time.

Watched the new episode of Dragon's Den. Then remembered this classic:

Also, this is my dog, he's my good luck charm when playing poker. But DTD won't let him in. He's called Muffin:

Pretty random entries today. My apologies. I'll try and give it better structure in future!
