I just want the quality to improve so I can enjoy my favourite past-time of losing money at poker. Poker client software hates Virgins connection so much, and the poker economy is suffering because of it.

I bolded the important question so I don't really need responses on the joys of the interweb, or whether multi-tabling Chinese kids in grinder sweatshops are going without food because I am unable to lose 80/20 flips with ACE ACE any time after 5.30pm.

Same time next week?

Oh, and Hai OB!

If any of you guys want to sell a piece of Paris David I'll take a chunk. Probably $20 again.

I called Virgin yesterday and they explained that there is "work in my area" and I'm likely to experience "patchy and slow connections" and that the work should end "sometime before the end of next week, hopefully".

I think this is just what they tell people when they complain about their connection (I've heard it before a few times), and I don't for one moment think they are telling the truth.

My experience of Virgin Media is that they're usually lying. So I usually take the exact opposite of everything they say.

But I'm also in NE London, not far from Ilford, so maybe there's something to it. Incidentally my connection was much better last night, but today it's back to dropping packets like a well-greased stevedore.

If they actually said "it's high usage on my local exchange, and we're looking to do something, it might take a month or two, here's the ticket number to keep a track on it" I would probably leave it alone.

But it's the "high usage, meh" response that winds me up. My house spends ~£200pm on Virgin stuff, so I want better than that.

BT Infinity gets rolled out in my area on 30th September.

Gl Reid. I've heard the name but not sure who he is.
09-04-2011 , 08:22 PM
I forget which forum, but I hear people talking about how he always interjects trying to tell people that he has money stuck on FTP but will never say how much and everyone gives him crap because he's so vocal about it.

I showed him 2,7o and I only played it because it was him. Sorry about the hand history.

Lame. I've got 30K and I'm in BB with AKs

button raises 6K, I shove, he insta-calls 23K more with T8o.

For my poker knowledge, and not to be complaining about it, is he mathematically priced in?


out in 5th btw for $80 + 10 from bounties (I had three separate occasions earlier that I won all in against that left the villains with under 300 chips so I didn't collect the bounties from them)
09-04-2011 , 08:46 PM
Well done, Reid. If you need a place to spend some of the money, registration is open for SHENANIGANS.
09-04-2011 , 09:04 PM
I already made plans to head to a friends house. I was going to register as dead blinds to make it more interesting (frustrating?) but being that it's HORSE, there's probably enough going on that you don't need my blinds making things more confusing!

Good luck!

Went on my bosses boat w coworkers and got smashed. Then back to his house to go swimming etc. Ended up chilling in his sauna with his wife and best friend who is pretty f hot...never been in a sauna before but come on. Tits all sweaty and hanging out...ill pass out from heat stroke before I voluntarily leave this situation. Actually have a hangover today and woke up "white person'd" with **** written all on my face. And my first long term ex sent me a Facebook message so I took a close up pic of my pubes and sent it to her
