    Shag it...

    I was keeping an eye on this board all week as tonight was the first friday in ages that I was free. I didn't spot anything so I went and made other plans...

    Shag it...

    P.S. Dev, what part of Dublin is your gaff?


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


    Would anyone object to having a mini-learning game tonight?
    Play as normal but when you fold, keep your cards and at the end of the hand have a discussion of who did what and why...

    just a suggestion, see you all at 7

    I would have been interested too, but also made other plans a couple of hours ago. Bugger!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,015 ✭✭✭Altheus


    Just realised I'm in work till nine, can make it out for ten, but I'd presume the game would be well underway bu then.

    OK see you around 7 so.


  • Registered Users Posts: 365 ✭✭Cerdito


    hey...I'm interested too. I don't know how to get there, and it's a bit late now, but if you see this, PM me with directions and I'll turn up but if not maybe next time!!

    I'm working in here in grand canal dock till seven


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,832 ✭✭✭Waylander


    In the interests of fairness I think you should let the rest of us know how the game went. Who were the winners and losers?


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


    We played several feezeouts where the top 4 won the bottom 4's 10 euro and then we'd restart. It was a lot of fun and nice and fast. I was in the money for 2 out of 3 of them, Luke wasnt quite so lucky neither was Ken Cleary. TwoSheds did well on the night as did Casper (iirc!).

    Then we played a game down to the last one and it was between Ken Cleary and Conor (Twosheds Jackson)... Ken's luck wasnt in that night and after a valiant stand Conor took the top prize.

    We played some one-hand Omaha for a euro each and I made my nights profit from that!

    Muso and I took lumps off each other with balls out bluffs and intoxicated as I was throughout the night the pair of us falling about them place enjoying our poker like kids!

    It was a bit of a crazy night's poker but Twosheds kept a cool head despite getting crappy cards most of the night and when he got them they stood up for him. Fair dues!

    The home game was a great laugh...thanks to all who made me welcome. It was good practice for tactics, counting outs, bluffing etc. in a non-pressure environment (you had a 50% chance of getting your money back, not bad)

    I played more poker this weekend then in my whole life...first the game on friday, then finishing in the top 4 in sunday's early tournament in the Fitz and thus winning a ticket to Monday's €100 freezeout game. Managed to finish around 12th in that, Lafortezza killed me with two unbelievable check-raises, I still have a lot to learn!!

    Here's to more Holdem

    Lies! I finished in the money twice out of three, and then made the mother of all comebacks from 1 single 25 chips to 3rd stack out of 5. I got caught by KenCleary IIRC who went on to be edged by twoshedsjackson heads up.

    I don't think I've ever played poker with as much trash talk as that! I had to watch myself in the Fitz later in the weekend, almost shouted "The lieing fcuk has none of that!!" several times.

    I slowplayed the nut flush against Neal's two pair in the €100 game, luckily he bet into me and I was just praying he wasn't underbetting the full house and luring me in!
