  1. Somebody posted on either here or the original site about going to a Wham gig at Brixton and being fucked sensless by the girl they'd went with after she'd been worked into a sexual frenzy by the gig. Was that you or is this just a coincidence? You are not wrong, the atmosphere could have turned a nun rabid. When i said you could smell the excitement I wasnt exagerating
  2. multi tabling helps keep me focussed. If I dont play enough tables I get distracted and watch tv surf the net etc, I try to get the balance between enough action to keep me concentrated on the games, but not too much that I miss spotting loose/weak players or time out
  3. There will be one cunt their who dresses and thinks he's Pete Docherty, he'll be on stage singing with the band. Nah he doesnt now who he is, where he is or what he's doing
  4. Spongebob, ghetto fabulous at work filthy gorgeous at home
  5. try the 5.50 non turbos on stars even easier than the 3.40s.
  6. I bought it but I dont really use it tbh. I just use sng tracker for results and power tools for analysis. I havent had the time or energy to get pokertracker sorted out. If I move up so I play the same people a lot I would probably start using it with the heads up display, at the moment I cant be bothered
  7. It is magnificent isnt it. Sometimes you can get into a position where you just push every hand, it drives people crazy To be honest, I couldn't believe it at first when it's doing the calculations and I'm thinking how can it possibly be a +EV move to push with that hand, but when you work through it all, it makes sense - bit of a eureka moment. The bloke is obviously a bit of a genius, but he really explains the concepts well in the tutorials too. I am right in thinking that there are currently only two tutorials available, aren't I? Or am I missing out on some? Yeah he has been promising the new ones for ages, but to be fair playing with the stack sizes and calling ranges is the way forward, once you get afeel for how situations affect EV you are golden. Helps with the tilt monstter as well, if you now you made the right move

  9. Thats when it started, now I have a Kylie Minogue shrine, Ive seen the Pet shop boys , Girls Aloud Steps, Ive even moved to Brighton
  10. And by the way Gemmil, dont raise half your stack with KQo when you have 9BB, either shove it in or fold. That plank with the big stack was always gonna call that bet, you left yourself nowhere to go. If you push and he calls you get your money in with the best of it, fair enough. The way you played it you were pot comitted anyway and ended up putting your money in behind I would have most likely just folded and let the big stack bully the rest of them
  11. Back in the eighties I used to knock around with some girl that worked for polydor records. We used to take music very seriously, favourites at the time your Jesus and Mary Chain, Smiths Ramones Orange Juice and the like. This one night she rings me up and tells me to meet her outside the Brixton Acadamy, doesnt give any more details. I turn up at the appointed time and there are hundreds of teenage girls queuing round the theatre. All in a rare state of excitement. I meet up and she gives me a pass and we walk past the throng and in. Once we are in she lets me know what is going on. At this point in pop history Wham were as big as it gets. The next day they were playing the first of three nights of "The Final Day" at Wembley, their last gigs before splitting up amidst much hysteria and media frenzy. Obviously of no interest to me though, Or so I thought. Tonight Wham were playing a secret warm up gig, for the first 800 members of the fan club and a few record company and press types, and me. I was fairly unimpressed until the screaming started, Ive never heard anything like it. And this is before the lights even went down By the time they actually started the place was in fucking uproar, knickers and bras were flying, you could genuinley smell the excitement and the show they put on was incredible. They worked that room like nothing I have ever seen. And the bar was empty and it was free. So not the Clash, not James Brown, not the New York Dolls or the Ramones or Oasis,or the Smiths the best concert I ever saw was Wham, and it was by a fucking mile
  12. Dorty yanks. Anyone who invests in a company which openly admits it is on shaky legal ground deserves to lose their money IMO. One paragraph in 65 pages tbh. Prospectuses always have to say what possible problems there might be, nobody thought this would happen
  13. They increased the rake on the cash tables to go into a huge tournament, which you qualify by sngs or multis or being on a table where the bad beat jackpot was won and various other things. The cash players hated it because they felt they were paying for a tournament they had no interest in entering. It is basically a big marketing exercise to say woohoo 13 million pound tournament, come to party. Where banning usa players leaves us who knows. It may mean we can play for a huge prize with 75% of the players now banned, or Party might just keep it I couldnt be arsed with it before, but if it is a huge prizepool and few players the overlay will be huge, so I might give it a go
  14. Sod streetfighter, whatever happened to Glass Joe
  15. Aaah but Rob, to run with your analogy, I am buying a map with prospecting money to show me where more gold is to be found and how to extract it more efficiently.
  16. I played over 5000 tournaments on Party. Its only the 5+1s that are 20%
  17. I havent read it, from what I remember it is a fairly simple stack/position/blind size push fold strategy type of thing, which sounds pretty good to me Weee, Ive just bought it of Amazon along with No Limit Hold 'em: Theory and Practice by David Sklansky. I love buying poker books
  18. You're assuming that the small percentage of people rich enough to send their kids to private school have enough influence to change government policy. There'll always be more kids in state school than private, there'll always be people in a position to send their kids to private school who nevertheless know it's only right that underpriveliged kids get a good education. Therefore less money will never be spent on state education because the ruling party couldn't bare to lose the votes. You are forgetting that the voting public are idiots
  19. I do, but that's good advice, thank you; I think I need something like a $600 BR for that. I've been very disciplined so far, I'm still on 3.40 SnGs at the moment and stayed in the play money for quite a while. I'll no doubt start with the lowest available and go from there, currently finishing off Small Stakes Hold 'em - Miller/Sklansky/Miller which is a good read on that level. I'd recommend it as worthwhile even if people aren't planning on playing Limit. Thats the best poker book I have ever read. Be warned though the games have tightened up since that was written. On a happier note my free copy of Doyle Brunsons Super Sysyem2 that Party sent me for party points dropped through the door this morning.
  20. Disgraceful. The way I see it, the more people who can afford to send their kids to private school, the better. Those remaining kids will getter a bigger bite of the state pie so it's a win-win scenario. Doesnt really work like that though does it. It just means that the state schools get less as the people with money ie influence pay for their own kids. Therefore people with money and privelage get better and better off, the poor get increasingly marganilsed and worse off. Sending your kids to private school doesn't leave you exempt from paying taxes. why will state schools get less? Because if the people who have got money to throw at their children have children in the state sector then they are going to be a damn sight more interested in ensuring the state sector provides a decent level of schooling I think you've answered a completely different question. Jeez are you kidding me. To pick a random figure out of the air, let's say that state schools currently get £1Bn in subsidies (I wouldn't have a clue). It's entirely separate to what the parents of kids at private school pay. If you abandon all private funding of certain schools, that £1bn will have to spread over far more kids. By the same token, the more parents that subsidise a better education for their own kids, the less people taking out of the £1bn kitty which leaves more for the less priveliged and a higher standard of education for all. You seem to be suggesting well off parents will continue to pay private fees for their kids to go to state school. Are you? The point is state education is payed for by taxes. If the rich and influential all send little tarquin to private school the they have no interest inhaving tax spent on state education. Therefore less money is spent on state education. Not only that they pay more to teachers so the best teachers are taken out of the state sector. The rich get to send their schools to well maintained schools wih all thefacilities money can buy. The poor send their kids to underfunded schools with badly paid teachers. Welcome to Britain pre labour
  21. OK Ive had a look at sixth sense, I dont really trouble the software forum much.Its not really any use for tournaments its just for table selection on ring games. You would need to get a big database of hands before it would do you much good If you have got pokertracker you probably want to have a look at PAHUD, which is a real time heads up display which shows vpip etc of opponents. It can be useful to get reads on who is loose or tight which is obviously good for knowing who to steal against etc I'm going to give 1/2 limit a go, so that's what I'd be interested in that for. I'm only demoing Poker Tracker at the moment (thousand hand limit), but I think I'll end up getting it, I think I've already spotted some leaks, after a casual glance, but I'd need a few more thousand hands in there before I confirmed anything. I'll have a look into this HUD business, I read something about them, but it is all really rather complicated sometimes. Will check out PAHUD, cheers. Good luck and be careful, that limit is a brutally swingy game. Might be worth starting a bit lower unless you have a few hundred you are prepared to lose

  23. Because the people who have the influence decide whether that tax goes to the schools. In my experience, SB, the people you're worrying about don't give half as much a fuck about you, worry about your own family first. We're not going to change anything, anyway. EDIT: Actually, you've already said that's what you're doing! It was still a comprehensive, just not the nearest one. Thats how I rationalise my guilt anyhow
