Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

You lot ,,you must be loaded ,this is mine ..

'kin 'ell, jimmy. you a student? you know what you need , don't ya?




gas on glass.

bos ,i'm so behind the times ,i don't even own a dvd player..

we've got a gas on glass dvd player. fantastic.

going playing some poker now, see if can piss some more money away.

hey bos, hows' the poker going? If you bump into someone called Thommo wind him up. Tried to have a pop at me today, but took his money and ran :-))

bos
Ive never seen gas on class, very modern.

hiya pete. poker is getting better. i am still in the play for fun rooms but i am building a very nice stack of fake moeny!!!!! basically i am winning more than i am losing but i still make daft calls with crap hands. once that is eradicated i will go back to playing for real money. sounds like you're doing good , though.
driver, it's the future........

bos

I dont play the crap hands. If there isn't a chance of a flush, straight or holding at least a picture card, I fold. Trying to manage the risk and the odds. You're always going to get stuffed now and again by a better hand, but playing the rubbish just slowly erodes your capital. But fortunately, there are always those out there who do. Generally have an idea of what losses I am willing to take and the same with profits. I tend to find that if the cards are crap they tend to stay that way and chances are if you get into good profit it may well disappear if you play for too long. If I've won a few bob (50%+) I am happy and give it a rest. Good luck with your skill building.

Bos,
I usually manage to make a few quid playing my 5 year old son at snap. His reflexes just aren't what they should be.

lol hewitt...i do the same with my 6 and 4 year old. they get upset that i don't let them win but my view is that its a tough life, get used to it. i tried teaching my eight month old but he chewed the cards and i am sure marked them in some way....

LOL !! The Fast Show springs to mind..

jimmy, bang on. competitive dad. quote of the day from proptrade

"they get upset that i don't let them win but my view is that its a tough life, get used to it."

fantastic. i bet you tell them that when the ice cream van chimes, it means he has run out of ice cream.

proptrade teaching his kids how tough life is!!!

bos, we are clearly from the same parenting school.

the fact is that when the dog went away, tell them it was put down by lethal injection, put in a bin liner and incinerated. never sugar coat and tell them it went to "a loving family who lived by the beach."

simple truths.

too true. my girlfriend told me a heart breaking story , which made me piss myself laughing. her little cute bunny rabbit died when she was a child. her dad told her that they had a lovely funeral, flowers , candles, hymns, the lot. she felt sad, but happy that bunny had had a good send off. later that day she had to put some rubbish in the wheelie bin and when she opened it, there was bunny staring back at her!!!!! she still hasn't forgiven her father , so maybe you are right ,proptrade.

LOL, now THATS what i'm taking about!

bos ,,proptrade ,i give my son (who's 16) a tanking at pool every week , however without my knowing he signed up for Champ Investor ,and creamed me,, he was ranked 30 something at one point , so i stopped his pocket money ,explaining that when your playing with real money you can lose it,, just like this ..

tough love.... that's what it's all about.

Jimmy. On that note you have just been appointed Headmaster of the school of 'ard Knocks. The only reservation i have about your role is to ask why your son still has pocket monet at 16 (or not as the case may be) and why oh why is he not down mine already.
