A farmer has two horses, named hobbin and dobbin. They live in a lush green field behind his house, and generally have a happy life just grazing and enjoying the pastures. However, one day, hobbin gets a bit bored. He looks over to see dobbin looking bored too. So hobbin says 'want to race?'. Dobbin looks at hobbin, hobbin looks at dobbin, and off they go, galloping down the field. It's hobbin, then dobbin. Dobbin, then hobbin. Eventually, they reach the end of the field and dobbin wins by a length. The farmer has been watching this and thinks, ' blimey, these are some fast horses.' He decides to enter them into a local race to see how they get on.
On the day of the race, the gun goes off, dobbin looks at hobbin, hobbin looks at dobbin, and off they go. It's hobbin then dobbin, dobbin then hobbin, and hobbin wins by a length.
At this point, the farmer is seriously impressed. He decides to pay the entry fee to the regional races. The big day comes, the gun goes off, hobbin looks at dobbin, dobbin looks at hobbin, and off they go.
It's hobbin then dobbin, dobbin then hobbin, super close all the way but dobbin wins by a length. Now the farmer sees all this, and decides that it's time to really test these horses. So he enters them into the grand national.
The big day arrives. Hobbin and dobbin are massive outsiders, both priced at 250/1. But the gun goes off, hobbin looks at dobbin, dobbin looks at hobbin, and they storm off. Soon they are way ahead of the pack, and it's clear a massive shock is possible but it's impossible to call which will win. It's hobbin, then dobbin. Dobbin, then hobbin. Eventually, dobbin pulls a way and wins by a length.
The farmer is now incredibly rich, and being a simple man, he decides he can retire, so puts hobbin and dobbin back in their field to live the rest of their life happily grazing.
So for a couple of years, the horses graze away and nothing notable happens. But one day, hobbin is bored. He looks over and sees dobbin looking bored too. So he says, 'hey, want to race for old times sakes?' Hobbin looks at dobbin, dobbin looks at hobbin, and off they go, it's hobbin then dobbin, dobbin then hobbin, and dobbin wins by a length.
Meanwhile, on the edge of the field, a fox has watched all this. He saunters over and remarks, 'blimey, you guys are fast'
Hobbin looks at dobbin, dobbin looks at hobbin, and Hobbin screams out in terror;

i hope for your sake u copy pasted this

typed it all out on a phone keypad, having to correct spelling of 'hobbin' and 'dobbin' every time. Took 20 mins. I need that 1%

I thought it was gonna say "what did the fox say?"

A man walks into a gas station and says to the woman behind the counter, "Can I have a kit kat chunky?", woman gets a kit kat chunky, puts it on the counter, he looks at her, he looks at it, he looks at her, and says...



Some superb entries (special mention to Valuetown & in particular PlasticElephant), but TDA wins! Unfortunately for him 1% of 0 is still 0... also Blakk your vid doesn't work bro. Doubt you'd have won anyway ehehehe



So it's confirmed that I managed to finish in the top 6. Got a real sense of job satisfaction as it was a tough grind, but definitely worth it. I've become friends with the guy in 3rd place on the leaderboard so at least I'll know someone while I'm out there! Graph for last 45 days...



Obviously not the best to be basically b/e for last 140k hands but still pleasing to have made some money as opposed to have just broken even. Breakdown by stake...



So that's it! What now for Gazzy? Well I'm under no pressure to grind for rakeback any more, so I'm gonna spend a few hours a week studying for a change, watching vids, lab work etc, and playing a few hours a day with a smaller table count, and hopefully see a better winrate. I'll get back into 50 for a few days, with a view of playing some 100 again around this time next week hopefully. Let's do this!!

I have barely played any poker since CPT race finished, when I have played it's been pretty meh...



I really don't have much else to update with. Gonna try and get back to around 2.5k or more hands a day starting tomorrow. I played 6 tables for about 90 minutes yesterday, was like fkn 400 hands.

Hope all the heroes have an absolutely superb time in Malta, really sad I won't be there but hey ho, if I use my "quiet time" the way I intend to I won't have to miss any more of the fun stuff

Always feels like a troll when somebody says nice run when u finish 7th/13567 for Fkn 2.6k with 18k ftw

Ahh sorry I don't know MTT etiquette!

Also, guys, I forgot to say... anyone who views this thread regularly feel free to link your own PGCs and I'll follow. I never check the PGC section, just my subbed threads, so never find new threads!

it's the worst

Absolutely very tilting

I can imagine it's very annoying. That is a nice run though.

Feels good when someone who doesn't play poker says congrats when they find out you got 593/1974 in something though. Someone who doesn't play poker isn't so different from gazzy, at least in skill level.

Ziiiiiiiiiing
