So i went on a shit holiday for a couple of days and haven't been online much. I think i've almost forgotten how to use t'internet!
But one good thing is that I've been getting into the darts championship going on, and I've really warmed to Darryl Fitton. At the moment he's favourite at 3.9 (betfair).
I liked watching him play and was always rooting for him, perhaps because he had to come back from behind to win in an underdog style. I love underdogs.
I also enjoyed watching John Walton, somebody who won the championship in 2001 and has made some sort of unexpected return as far as I'm aware.
He is the longest price there, at present 9.8.
Watching them play, I was impressed by the constant top scoring quality of Fitton as well as all-round quality displayed by Walton. If you've been watching, some of the players (including Fitton) haven't been performing very well, with some messy games.
A lot of the players looked pissed off, and I think its because of the heat of the Lakeside venue putting them off.
They also look like they are under a lot of pressure most of the time, so in my opinion having someone who will not crumble is important.
This applies to Fitton (came back from behind twice under pressure), and Walton - because perhaps he is not expected to win, so there is no pressure on him at all.
What excites my loins even further is that these two are on opposite sides of the draw meaning we can potentially see both my bets into the final for a win-win situation.
For these reasons I am inclined to enjoy a little flutter on these two.
Is anybody watching the darts?
Scott - we must have a game soon!

shit. walton out :(
Unlucky with the Walton bet-he seemed to be injured.
I used to watch this BDO one all the time and remember the likes of Wayne Mardle and Raymond Barneveld being in it. Looks like its all the rubbish players left over in this one now. Would like to see Ted Hankey win though as I like his "angry man" persona and he has been playing in it for as long as I can remember.
I got owned by the betting gods, perhaps the angel of darts :(
sweet blog. looking for poker friends, so check me out/add me, let me know and ill add you too!
poker outings for a confused mind:

The general principle is very simple: if you play draws (suites, colors) to the moment your hand is worth nothing, but if the right cards fall it will be the winning hand. So you want to see the flop, but it costs you the cheapest possible. The money you lose before the flop will usually (!) More than offset the few times where you will complete your hand. At least, he hoped. I play a lot of that limit, I'm less prints because they are obviously less profitable than No Limit. Conversely, if you have big hands before the flop (AA, KK, QQ, JJ, AKs) you will make them pay dearly as possible to others who are in the waiting to flop something stronger you! In a few weeks when you will be in the mood, you can take part in discussions as to whether AK is a bigger hand than AA (it amuses many U.S. players U.S. Poker Forum).
We must be aware: sometimes you'll spend half an hour to R Do you sleep. It is painful but it is necessary. Whenever you put 50 dollars bonus for a game not follow terrible lie behind you, it's $ 3 lost. Three dollars that would have been useful to see the flop next example. When you see how difficult it is to win $ 3, it'll help you keep good not to waste :-) And brace yourself, here is a great truth pokérienne: $ 3 that avoids losing, c is exactly as we won $ 3! You can ponder this sentence the rest of the night, if you get the picture that you have done a great progrčs poker.
Do not assign a value disproportionate to suited connectors (eg QJs or JTs) if they do not improve on the flop they have GUCRE of interest. Before the flop you must relaunch big pairs (TT R AA). Some authors recommend not to raise AA before the flop in order to check-raise on the flop, but this is not the norm. If QQ or JJ does not improve on the flop, you can throw them, for against AA and KK are usually to the end (with respect to AA for me it is a principle, even though I lost AA lot of hands!)
You need to take JJ or QQ on the flop if an ace or a K appears, and it is painful. However, do not lose sight of what we know on the flop five cards Poker USA on a total of 52. This is 47 of 20 this is against 1. Of course the gold card (a Q or J would make you a set) may fall, but some have lost their shirts while waiting too long :-) Actually, someone probably already flopped a pair 'As or cowboys (KK), and you're already beaten.
Texas Hold'em Poker is played with only two hole cards per player, and also five community cards (called Board), actually living up your combination of your two cards (Hole) associated with three of the five cards in the center of the table . Certainly, why No Limit Texas rather than the Draw?
Because it seems to be the hobby more popular in the circles and especially the casinos. Now, it is also the official World Series of Poker. Therefore poker (especially hold'em poker) is sign up bonus for poker built randomly.
Why do you see that it is always the same players who arrive final World Series, while there are dozens of players?
In fact, the ability to play poker is not instinctive, it is obtained with the parties lived and play.
