    Hi All,

    Once again, if there are any seats left over drop me a line and I'll come along. I know it's a bit awkward seen as I don't know anybody :) but I would enjoy a game..

    As I say, just if there's a seat spare, I don't want to put any regulars out in any way.


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    Iago, once upon a time (not very long ago, nor in a galaxy far far away) noone of us knew each other :)....

    We meet up every Thursday from about 8pm in The Henry Grattan pub on Grafton Street. Sometimes we meet at 6:30 for a game of pool in The Fireworks on Pearse St... (when Luke and Casper dont stand me up that is :p)

    Even if you dont want to play in the (free-in) Thursday competition... drop along for a pint!

    DeV.

    Cheers DeV,

    Mentioned before that I'm normally in college on a Thursday night, but I'm off this week and wouldn't mind a game of pool at all!

    I'll keep an eye on the threads to see if you're meeting up and if I'm welcome I'll see you on Thursday in Fireworks...

    I'll be the one in the waistcoat with the 4 aces on the back and the reflective sunglasses ;)

    Always was a very classy guy!

    Sounds good to me. And I'm fairly sure Dotc would be up for it, given that he'll be off the leash so to speak ;)

    You can still ask me nicely though if you like :p


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    I said I'd talk to you (nicely).... and God knows I dont even enjoy doing that :p

    Count me in. Is there a smoking room?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,788 ✭✭✭MrPudding


    OK. This is looking good. I have updated the player list.

    On the subject of smoking, we have a very large smoking facility. It is called outside.

    MrP

    PS I have a really cool surprise lined up.... I am very excited!


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    Bastard! You are making me almost wishing I wasnt going snowboarding. Again. Almost. Did I mention I'll be on holidays. Snowboarding? Oh, I did eh... :(

    Sign me and lafortezza up. He wants some more of your money.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,838 ✭✭✭DapperGent


    Count me in.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,788 ✭✭✭MrPudding


    OK guys. Unless anyone can donate a table and some chairs I can't take anymore players. 12 players it is. If someone can't make it ket me know as soon as possible.

    MrP


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 437 ✭✭casper-


    Wow -- I don't check the poker board for one day and miss out on the event :( Damn you all to hell! ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,806 ✭✭✭Lafortezza


    Mr P, so you need me to bring my chips?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,788 ✭✭✭MrPudding


    Yes Luke if you don't mind. I will try to score another table and some chairs, if anyone can help that would be great. I will put you down casper and see how things go.

    are we 12 on 1 table?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,788 ✭✭✭MrPudding


    I am working on it. The table will seat 10 easily and 12 at a push. I will try to score another table to make things nice and comfy.

    MrP


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,552 ✭✭✭✭GuanYin


    I'd be up for this, I'm not overly familar with Hold em and I've never played "formally" for money.

    is it 10 Euro worth of chips each buy in?

    Are beginners welcome?

    If not, any chance of a beginners night?

    Syke


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,788 ✭✭✭MrPudding


    Hi Syke

    I'm afraid this one is full. I will be having another one next month. I will put up a post arround the middle of the month. Oh and yes, beginners are welcome, very welcome in fact.:D

    But seriously, the top recomendation for n00bs is to go to the Henry Gratten on a Thursday night arround 2000 or 2030, meet up with a bunch of us and then play in the free entry game in the Fitz. That is the top tip.

    MrP


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,788 ✭✭✭MrPudding


    OK guys nearly there. I have a few people who are interested but are not on the list. There is no chance I can accomodate anymore though. So, if you are currently on the list but can't make it let me know as soon as poss so I can get someone else in.

    PS I hope none of you are veggies. I don't do veggie food.

    MrP


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,806 ✭✭✭Lafortezza


    I'm still available to go next saturday, my net access is fairly patchy since I started the new job, so I won't be my usual poker board spamming self.
    I have a mate who would like in if there's a mass drop off of interest, you remember foxy from your last home game.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 437 ✭✭casper-


    I'm still in (if there's even room for me) :) You mentioned there's more people of you know who aren't on boards, plus there's at least a few on boards who are also interested -- couldn't we somehow split this into two games of 8 people or something? Obviously we'd need a second house though =)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,788 ✭✭✭MrPudding


    I have one person, Eoin, who cannot go. I have sent a pm to syke who was interested. If he does not get back to me today I will have a place spare, I reckon Foxie can have that.

    MrP


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,806 ✭✭✭Lafortezza


    Don't hold out on foxy above anyone else, he said he would get back to me before thursday if he's free or not. I'll try to hurry him up as I know he'd want to play. But fill your seats with easy mone^H^H^
    yeah, cya saturday

    I'm going to berunning a bit late for this, can some one tell Chris if he's not online?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 437 ✭✭casper-


    so what were the final results?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,838 ✭✭✭DapperGent


    1 Chris Hyzepher
    2 Alex
    3 Ken
    4 Brian

    Had a great night until I lost. Yum yum grub. The mad genius of sausages.

    Thanks Mr. Pudding!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,835 ✭✭✭karlh


    yeah thanks a million Pudding for a brilliant night, perfect setup, and oh those sausages!!

    well done to the winners. bring on the next one. can't wait to fold-check one of you lucky buggers!!


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 9,035 Mod ✭✭✭✭mewso


    Great Stuff Chris and thanks to Mrs. Pudding and the mini Puddings for putting up with us. Obviously I think there should have been a 4th prize but other than that great night.

    By the way has Amp turned up yet?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,806 ✭✭✭Lafortezza


    Thanks Chris for having us, fair play to the lads for winning the money. I think my winning streak of the last few weeks is over, especially after a dismal showing in the fitz last night.

    In the €20 game I had on ebig chance to get a big stack. I had QQ and there was a few all ins before it got to me so I automatically went all in.
    The flop came 8-K-Q or something, so I was hoping my trip queens would hold up but some fecker had called the all-ins with J-9 off suit and hit a 10 on the turn for a straight.

    The 6.30pm game seems like a good one. Its the same deal as thursday nights but there was only 3 tables last night and the play was fairly sensible as far as I could see.

    Thanks Pud for a great night and grub to boot.

    A bit of a marathon game tbh and I suffered for it the next day but great fun and the banter around the table was brilliant. I have to say the standard of poker is definitely improving as time goes by and the other night was a good example of this.

    Looking forward to the next one - for obvious reasons ;)

    Hyzepher


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,636 ✭✭✭henbane


    Thankee very much - good night & good grub.

    Nearly there...

    My apologies, Chris and everyone else. My attendence relied on a number of factors all of which didn't occur.

    The good news is that I've sent the matrix back to Dell ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,788 ✭✭✭MrPudding


    Nice one Amp. They should get back to you pretty quick with a tech test.

    MrP


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,552 ✭✭✭✭GuanYin


    Sorry I misse dit :(

    Damn On Call!


    Thanks for the PM Pudding, please consider me for the next one. If nothing else, it'll be easy money for the rest of you by the sound of things.

    Heres a link to really slick poker clock software.

    Its a 14 day evaluation but would do us for a game anyway?

    If we find it really good we cud split the cost and give the scamp a few quid to register it, think it's cheap enough.

    Looking forward to the next game wherever it is, ill be able to host one once i move house in the summer.
