I USED To Play Football
Its something I'm going to have to get used to saying, and now I'll sound just like every other duffer who played a bit. I should have played my last game last Tuesday, which was also my birthday, but work sent me to Scotland, so I couldn't be back in time. I'm kind of glad I missed it, as I was not looking forward to hearing that whistle and thinking "never again".
Anyway this week's poker has by and large been a case of, 'close, but no cigar'.
Monday saw PuntersLounge descend en masse onto Poker.co.uk, to try and win the 2nd in a series of forum challenges. We did have the biggest prescence (about 50% of the total field, but even so the quality of our players is a match for any 'amateurs' I feel. Gambling.co.uk's forum are good, and a good bunch, and as a thank you to MattD (their forum owner) I've joined as a member. There was some animosity towards the Laddies forum, who in the first game accised us of taking it easy against each other, which quite frankly was laughable, if not so insulting. In this game they were quite open about 'soft-playing' against team-mates. Something no PLer (or any other forum involved, as far as I could tell) would ever do. I ended up bubbling when my JJ (big pre-flop raise) was called by the BB holding 87 - he hit an 8 on the flop (no higher cards) and put me all in, then hit a 7 on the turn...
Tuesday See above - my birthday etc.. Ended the day in the A+E Unit with youngest with a suspected broken finger. On the tables it was a quieter day.
Wednesday Was the Sp.odds/PL MTT league game, which was completely spoiled for me by a player called Dirty Mom, who registered by accident, then spent almost every hand going all in as a massive underdog, and then outdrawing far better hands. I could have coped I think, if I'd had some break from it, but it (dirty mom) was on my table almost all evening.
Thursday Was the day of Virgins Bloggers freeroll, and with only 72 runners with the winner going to Vegas to play in the WSoP it represented all entrants best chance of getting there. I went out when I suffered a bad beat when my KK got cracked by QQ, which hit a four card flush on the board. Truly sickening, although the guy that 'did' that to me, MoFace ended up winning, so PuntersLounge is guaranteed TWO players at the WSoP!!!
Well done Mo. You can read about his views on cheese and floobs by clicking on the link on the right, which if not there now will appear shortly.
I'm not a massive fan of playing STT's at the weekend, but I'm doing so at the moment partly out of boredom.

Sorry about the footie retirement mate. When my cousin had to stop playing he moved into refereeing (admittedly I think he was about 30 at the time). Is that an option for you ?

Oh no. The Dark side??
I couldn't...

After so long and so much involvement I need.... a complete break. Maybe not for good, but certainly til I get used to it.
