    Thanks lads for all the good wishes.

    I had a target to win €2k net from poker over 6 weeks playing two tournies a week and I've more then achieved my goal in four weeks (+€2.5k net) so I'm very pleased with myself right now.

    Having a set goal and finding a game which suits my style (as HB has pointed out) have been two of the three key components imho (the other one being a slice of old fashioned good fortune) to completing my target.

    The next target is to take down the EPT ticket!! LOL


    you play a great game olly....i for one have benifited alot from just playing on the same table as you over the last couple of weeks on how to approach these kind of tournaments....its definetly making me a better player.
    now i think i need to start working figuring out what my own physical giveaway tells are as well as trying to be a bit more assertive at the table with speech play.

    I hope to stand in your way for that ticket though. nice of them to give one for second place also

    Well done Olly. Amazing consistency in this tourny. Interesting idea setting targets like that.

    Will you be providing stiff competition in tonights double chance???

    I think I'll head in to SE tonight. Anyone else taking on the double chance? It had about 90 runners last week, the majority of which is dead money.

    Absolute genius. I've been laughing for the last 5 minutes at that.

    I was gonna give this a miss tonight, but I'm gonna play now to try and redeem last nights brutality. I've been running sick in Omaha and O8 online and just can't find the patience for Hold em tournaments or cash games for that matter. It seems boring playing one or 2 hands per orbit and playing every hand doesn't suit my style. Maybe I'll bring my MP4 player tonight and watch a film while I play to curb the boredom.

    Put in a word/phrase, for example chip tricks.

    Highlight it, then click "Insert link" and put in the URL.

    And hey presto you have:

    Chip tricks

    well I said I was easily impressed (wow!! a paperclip!) but that may well be the coolest thing I've ever seen, ty Ian

    and 100% OT, I think it's a crying shame the Chief is now openly addressed as such - what's the point of an in-joke if it's out?

    But when he asks why he is called The Chief you have to tell him. Can't believe he hasn't been called the chief for years, he is the spit of Roy Scheider. It was going on a good while so bound to happen.

    surely you could have told him he was called the Chief because of the way he bosses the table?

    semi-bluff!!

    LMAO, thats why im brutal at lying and I always, always have a good hand (cough cough). If you saw the colour I went when he asked it was unreal. I was like a child caught with the hand in the cooky jar. I cannot stress enough how embarressing it was. I thought he was joking when he asked why he is called "Chief"

    I also am a little sad that everyone is calling him Chief - he actually seems very subdued recently, no salmon jumper and no longer hitting every final table in the SE.

    It must have been fairly embarrassing alright Smurph! I hate telling people I'm 'ionapaul' on boards when they ask, I hate actually speaking that name out loud!

    oh dear, you will have to play poker with a bag over your head from now on with facial tells like that!!

    maybe he would make a good Chief though if his interrogation skills are that good....getting the perp to 'fess up instantly is pretty impressive

    He said that some "Young Fella" said it to him in the SE. Called him chief Brody, and said he recognised him from his jumper.

    Anyway "enough already" as they say in the Sopranoes, im glad he knows, and the next time I meet him im gonna call him "Anto".

    Only figured out who he was last night. Didn't stop me from calling an all in from him when i had A8 on an 8 high rainbow board. He had 86. I knew what the turn was gonna be before it came. Didn't knock me out, but kept me pretty quiet for the next few orbits.
