I never even considered the Hexas, good cheaper alternative, (and quicker) will remember for next one. 👍

Day 4

Not much improvement really. Five SNG's, 1 win, 1 third and 3 4ths. 

Bonus from the spins.

It's hard being a Missionary. 😂

Nicely detailed report, some run good some bad but that's poker. How do you get so many straight flushes, I seem to be only getting quads just lately. 🙄 I particularly liked this one against a reg tagged red for danger!

And about the bonus questions,  

The bigger the chaos, the smaller the probability.

Starter Tip: With a pack of 1 card there will always be one card in the same position after each shuffle, an average of one.With a pack of two, half the time there will be two cards in the same place, half the time zero, an average of one. Keep doing this for ever increasing sizes of packs of cards, (I bet you don't get to 52,) and you'll see the pattern. 🙂

Day 3

   Making two mistakes to start off with doesn't bode well. 

Mistake # 1.  Buying one 🎫 of 2-4 PLO ensures that if you don't have a good start you can't top up so always seem to be struggling. 

Mistake # 2.  Playing one table and finding yourself on an unprecedentedly tight table, when even if you make a hand you can't get paid off. 

So at one stage I was down to around 35 BB. I'd just decided to leave the table, take the remaining cash and start again, when I doubled, hit another hand and found myself back to around 95 BB. Struggling on but gradually slipping back I gave up the ghost and cashed 60c off the ticket, 2 hours, 132 hands and a loss of 3.60, cup of tea time. 😵‍💫

A short break and back to it, fired up 4 tables and auto topping up, easy game. No, we've all said it but it really was horrible run from hell, couldn't hit a flop and if I did someone else hit harder. It didn't help seeing a community member sat opposite and keep going all in on the flop, hitting every draw and 5 minutes later disappearing with 500 BB.  🤬

Another hour and 11 minutes later after some good old fashioned tilt I finally made it, actually nearly tripling with one hand but not enough to make up for the losses. 

Three hours 11 mins,  516 hands and a loss of 17.32. 🤮

I completed the 60 flops to bag two Santa Flip tickets, I can chill the rest of the day watching 🏏 ⚽ and 🎱 (snooker actually but there's no emoji for that 🤨) although I'm in the process of trying to finish a 5-10c 🎫 before the New Year.

TOday is omaha madness and I don't know how to make it trough without unnecessary pain 🤯

@HardGain  Take it steady, I've just opened 1 table, good luck. 😁

   Day 2

     I decided to go for the 2E qualifiers for UB Live, without too much success. Three times all in (first one on the bubble) with Ax. There times called by a worse Ax. Three times lose to a worse kicker, once on the turn and twice on the river. 

Ho hum! 🤨

I have also received the Turbo ticket a day early, Santa must be in a real rush!  😂

Do you even have a bed? 🙄

it is the same number regardless of the deck. 

Correct so far! 🤨

You don't update enough, I don't think any of us do, but nice videos. 

Bonus question!

                             Shuffle thoroughly and deal a normal 52 card deck of cards and take note of their sequence. Shuffle thoroughly again and take note again. How many cards are likely to be in the exact same place as the first run?

Bonus bonus question!    

                             If there are 60 cards in the deck are there likely to be more, the same, or fewer cards in the same position?

Bonus bonus bonus question! 

                             What about a 40 card deck? Or 30?

Two paracetamol tablets for the first correct answer!

  You don't need sin bins for ref abuse. (To be fair getting a free card for an apology made me 🙂) For years and years there has been the problem of referee abuse by the players, something I've long argued it is far simpler to solve than anyone will admit. Simply follow the example by Rugby Union, only the captains are allowed to approach the referee and enter discussions. Anybody else encroaching receives a card, any further transgressions and another card, if necessary a red one. It'll stop before too long. Simples.

Get a yellow card, argue, get a red card, what's so difficult?

Quick update, I must have seen 22 flops on Banzai but they're also counting on the Santa Flips mission.

What a Bargain! 👍🍻

   Being very old, and actually getting older every day, and having a brain that is not as razor (shovel) sharp as it used to be, I misread the first challenge as having to see 20 Banzai flops to receive 1 Santa Flip, repeating until seeing 160 flops for 8 tokens. It did cross my mind that at 1 table at a time it could be a long day and not all that easy, it could be a tough month, but Ho Ho Ho, let's get cracking. 

   Great start, 3rd hand!

Things could only get worse, and of course they did, until... I realised that the objective wasn't to rise in ranks or reach Sensei but merely to see flops, a totally different proposition requiring different tactics, maybe more limping. It paid off.

I'd had 4 tables running and lost one, so being up I closed the tables to check where I was and have a cuppa. That's when I saw that the mission was complete. Doh!

Happy days. Thirty five minutes and 69 cents profit. Ho Ho Ho indeed!  

Now onto the cash tables, 31 days to complete my current 5-10c ticket and get some more flip tokens into the bargain. 🍻

Currently the UK Championship on just up the road from me.

Watched Mark Selby last night in a great tussle with his mate Barry, Mark eventually winning a nail biting decider. This afternoon Ronnie came through after looking decidedly shaky in another nail biter against Robert Milkins, and a few former champions already through to what looks like some great quarter final action coming up.

   But... there's a worrying trend taking place. Much as I've admired watching Jimmy "Whirlwind" White over the years he has tended to sport some ever increasingly bizarre "syrups," it looks like the latest incarnation is receding even faster than his natural hairline or even his big breaks. Come on Jimmy, bite the bullet at last and go "au naturele." It'll be cheaper in the long run.

Jimmy has just received his latest hairdressing bill.

@marto By my reckoning that's 26 updates you owe.

Also planning to do all the Christmas promos, but not sure if I'll have enough money 🥶

Scandalous after all those 💰💰💰 you've won in the last Community League and UOS series. Where does it all go?

   It looks like a busy month ahead with a new Community League, another tournament series and the daily missions.  I haven't played the missions since the last World Cup so as it's the season of goodwill it may be time to put some of my BP's into action and donate some Cash to the Community (sounds like a project.) I'm not saying I will do them all, some of the monthly ones these days look terrifying to me, but I'll give them a go. Hopefully daily updates so anyone intending to do the same is welcome to join in.

Dangerous waters if we head to that direction, you will agree when you apply for bank loan and bank manager is willing to lend you... just as long as you throw sieg heil in front of him 🤣After all bank loan ain't human right so manager has right to make you dance like a monkey.

   I think you're straying too far from the point but I'll tag along for a while.

I never go to bank these days if I want a loan, I go to the Loan Arranger.

"Here comes Livertool for a loan, charge him 15% but don't tell him about 'mates rates' and for God's sake don't call him 'white man' ."

On behalf of all those that think UB is rigged, after this last session I'm beginning to agree. 

All in pre flop where I had 32% and won.

All in on the turn where I had 18% and won.

And all in pre flop where I had 18% and won again. 

Normally I would expect to lose all three of these hands, all occurring within half an hour.

cause you want to virtue signal your holyness.

If anyone sees evidence of racism should they look the other way and not report it in case they get accused of virtue signalling. That's always the accusation isn't it, but you guys don't seem to realise that these things can be reported, not because we want to be seen as virtuous, but simply because we don't like them and they are wrong. 

WuDu and Liverpool chase around a dead end, getting nowhere but full marks for obstinacy and persistence.

alias removed and customer to send apology to get access to product again

For those that skip the reading and go straight to the fancy arguments, can you point out where Stubbe asked Nate to apologise to himself, Stubbe. 

Obviously WuDu and his mate Liverpool don't like to let facts get in the way of a good story, they may yet make good journalists.

1 hour ago, WuDu said:

So Nate gets banned for racism against black people, but Stubbe was willing to let it go, had Nate apologized to white Stubbe? Correct, @Andy-Relax?

   And yet again someone has read a thread and put their own interpretation on it, rather than actually asking if it's not clear enough.

   Could you please show where Stubbe asked for an apology to him.

   You do know that South Park is a cartoon and not real life don't you? 

      Anyone could be offended by any name, and they have a right to say so. Someone else may not be offended by the same name and they too have a right to say so. Ultimately it's always going to be down to the site owner or controller or operative as to what is or isn't offensive, and maybe the sanctions imposed are not actually written in the t&c's but more a case of common sense. Just for the record I think it was offensive and agree with the sanctions, but anyone disagreeing is perfectly entitled to, it's very unlikely to change the outcome. Going off on a tangent about a completely unconnected subject is somewhat pointless, a poor but these days common tactic to muddy the waters.
