[Quarter-Final - Brazil v Colombia > Friday July 4th]

Re: Quarter-Final - Brazil v Colombia > Friday July 4th Colombia are the value bet here and BTS is a reasonable price too. Basis for comment - purely the recent performances in the competition

[Last 16 - Netherlands v Mexico > Sunday June 29th]

Re: Last 16 - Netherlands v Mexico > Sunday June 29th If you look at the Holland corner stats, so far they have had a total of 5 corners from their 3 games. It would appear the width they use is good enough to get the ball into the box before it is cut out.

[Championship > 22nd Jan - 26th Jan]

Re: Championship > 22nd Jan - 26th Jan Charlton look good value. can now get 2.2 on some bookies. above Wednesday in the league by a fair bit, injured players back. Same fixture last season in league one would not have given 2.2 odds.

[what do you hope to achieve poker wise for 2013?]

Re: what do you hope to achieve poker wise for 2013? Revised post - cant edit yet "Premium Bonds average 1.5% (Plus chance of getting more, plus money safe). Easy access accounts 2.3% best (Plus taxed, plus chance of losing). Minimal return on both after 1 year maybe???" That was just one example. You could get a decent bank account. I get 3% for a £2 monthly fee on a balance up to £20k Interesting you mention "plus chance of getting more" but forget to mention the chance of getting less (ie 0% interest), take into account inflation and you would effectively be losing money. If bonds are what you want go for it, just remember to take into account inflation in your calculations.

[one players day summed up in two hands........]

Re: one players day summed up in two hands........ I see, well whoever won hand 2 is lol bad at poker.

[what do you hope to achieve poker wise for 2013?]

Re: what do you hope to achieve poker wise for 2013? Premium bonds are horrible, they are a con - the cheapest way the government borrows money. The interest rate is a pathetic 1.5%. better off putting it in a savings account, even easy access accounts can give you over 3%

[one players day summed up in two hands........]

Re: one players day summed up in two hands........ Hand 1 - What is he calling the river for? Hand 2 - Why are you calling junk pre out of position? - He had the best hand pre flop, on the flop, on the turn then you suck out the river. Nothing to be proud of. Interesting hands for sure, but thought I would be the voice of reality

[Classic pokerstars]

Re: Classic pokerstars "so i trawled the internet to see if anyone else had this kind of experience and there are thousands upon thousands who have worse stories than me." Shock horror, people blame the poker rooms because they lose money. Never anything do to with the fact they SUCK AT POKER, no no, its always the poker rooms fault that they lose.

[Classic pokerstars]

Re: Classic pokerstars Yea, because poker stars are going to risk the integrity of their multi multi million company by fixing freerolls. Seriously, are people really this stupid? VARIANCE ! GO FIGURE !

[what do you hope to achieve poker wise for 2013?]

Re: what do you hope to achieve poker wise for 2013? Got back into poker recently. Been playing micro stakes. gone from £50 to £200 in about a month playing fit or fold poker. Hopefully have a £1,000 roll by mid next year then play 0.1/0.2 and just withdraw anything above £1000 at the end of every month. £300 ideally.

[Thoughts on Sky poker?]

Hi, I just signed up to this room the other night, not sure if it was just a freak few days but the standard of play seems a loot looser compared to the main rooms, Fulltilt,Ipoker,merge etc. Often getting most of the table calling a 20p raise pre flop (just started at 2p4p). Wondering if this is the norm? Not convinced on the software (cant select table size other than big or small is a real annoyance) :clap:clap:clap:clap:clap

[Championship > 7th December - 8th December]

Re: Championship > 7th December - 8th December Posh - Cant see the boss getting sacked, he has been better than the rest of them. Cant blame the managers all the time. Fact of the matter is they went up two divisions fairly quickly. Last time out they sold their two best strikers and have not replaced them. This bunch of players should be mid table league one. oh and this weekend they dont have any recognized strikers available. boro all day.
