he runs good and don't do advice!

If only.........I could run as good as Snake_eyes!! I was working last night and getting regular updates from him as he played and he was absolutely destroying the NL50 players on PL. Every so often I'd get a text... stacked another!! lololol. Worst thing, he was at work too!! hahahaha jammy bastard. If only one of these motherfuckers hadn;t grassed me up.... sigh.

Good luck to snake, the way he is going it could be a huge month for him.

On another note I was browsing around the forums on Wednesday, when I spotted a post from Joppa Road, explaining he was at the final table of a small MTT on Ladbrokes. I posted that I would come a rail for a short while. He posted back asking me to add him on MSN, so I did no worries.

I sort of didn;t realise he was after advice at first, he started talking about some hands so I gave some opinions and then he was talking about some of the hands he was dealt, blah blah. Anyways bascially I encouraged him to play a hand that ultimately got him busted out of the tourney in 5th (It was perfectly standard the way it played out, you can read it here), but I felt pretty damned bad because he said as a rule he would have limped or folded that hand, now IMO that obviously wasn;t the way to play it, I mean the blinds were too big and it was 5-handed, limping in LP should be the last thing you do, but the point was if I hadn't been chatting to him about it, he would have still been in and in with a shout of winning.

I took my time to try and fully explain all the logic and thought behind this and other aspects of late MTT games, as well as providing him with a few MTT training vids that I thought would help him. I guess in a way to ease my own concience.

I learnt a valuable lesson from this tbh. From now on I won't be giving advice to others when they are playing, except snake as we have a pretty good understanding. The reason is I don;t want to feel responsible if it goes tits up.  I know I was only trying to help him out, but ultimately I might have cost him money and thats not right. Although he would probably never have said it, I sort of felt he held me accountable too, understandably.  The worst thing... the money was very important to him at that point. I was gutted tbh.

I will certainly be more cautious about this in future, of course I am happy to help anyone out, but I think my ghosting days are done. If I lose my own money I don;t give a flying fuck, but when someone else loses theirs through you it's a really shitty feeling.

If you are reading this, sorry Joppa.
