Well I have not had any pain and frustration inflicted on me recently, except for Mondays hangover, so I will be along.

Iago

I'll be sitting it out, no point in giving you guys a chance to see how I play before Saturday!!

It was bad enough having Dev at my table on Sunday night..

Luckily he got knocked out way too early to pick up on much of my game!!

I hope you were taking notes... that was all misdirection to make you think I'm crap.... cunning eh?

Did you get much further in the end? I was disgusted with my play...

casper-

I think I'll head in earlier .. am bored at home :P Anyone game?

(edit) I'll be there around seven myself

whiteshadow

Hey Dev,

I finished 16th, I was short stacked on my table and got AKc in the pocket when I was in late position. Only 2 callers after the BB so I went all in, didn't think anybody had a very strong hand.

2 callers A10o and A9o and the first caller picked up a 10 on the turn. Left me cursing the fact that they didn't have those cards the hand before when I had the cowboys!

Ah well, I won €120 on Blackjack while I was waiting on my mate to finish, he came 12th and then won €60 on Blackjack as well, so all round not a bad night.

casper-

Well..a decent night for me anyway - definitely some of my more solid playing. 4k after freezeout, got up to 7.5k before I got switched over to Dev/Spiritus' table. Spiritus got knocked out all-in on a pair of 10s, then they moved Dev, so I got to be big blind. For some reason the guy at the end of the table (that put Spiritus out) was _really_ getting on my nerves.

Everyone else folds except for that guy. Flop comes down KQ rag, and he checks (out of turn). Dealer points that out, and I go all in with K8o. He _immediately_ calls and I figure he has AK .... but no no no he has K9o. Turn and river help neither of us, and I'm heading home.

Really felt a lot better playing, though, even with Norman at my table

headwrecking game last night.
i played exactly how i should have but
god (or the divine being called Po Kor) wasn't smiling down on me.

First hand that hurt bad was me sitting in the big blind with J,2 offsuit
wan't raised around the table so i limp in. The flop comes J, 2, 5.
So i make a medium sized bet. Guy to my left re-raises. Trips im thinking.
But im not sure. Everyone else folds So i re-raise all in.
He calls. and to my shock he turns A, 3... he's on a inside straight draw
with 2 cards to come... Im wining about 83% of the time but he hits his 4 on the turn.. AAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!:mad:

right. that hurt. but what the hell was he thinking!?
i think im going to quit poker!

To add insult to injury i get AK clubs and decide to make a stand
end up heads up with a guy with 8 10 diamonds. so we're both
looking for flush draws or to hit a pair...

then it happens... the flop came 7 9 Jack of diamonds!!!
the legend... he's made the straight flush from the flop...! brilliant!
and even hits a 6 of diamonds on the turn... beautiful hand
and i really don't mind losing to that sort beauty!!!!
great to witness... just wish i wasn't on the other end of it!:dunno:

anyone walk with a ticket?

careca

I think I was sitting to your right Casper for the first couple of hours. I was next to Kevin (guy who was mixing it with Norman) and gave him some bad beats with some terrible play by me. Actually managed to win a ticket in the end. Got some great cards all night. Got aces two hands running and DeV felt the force of them each time. He was unfortunate to say the least to run into them. Roll on the big one. Played in it once before, thanks to Muso, and really enjoyed it.

Krusty_Clown

I saw that straight flush.. Nasty one that...
Wonder what it scores on the Beat'o'meter..
I had a terrible night too...

Terrible cards for the first hour and a half, ended up going all-in with a K5o, just out of sheer boredom, and whittled chips... Rebuy..

Couple of hands later, pocket kings.. Yahey!

Next hand, AQo. Flop brings an Ace. All-in.. Two callers.. one with Ace/rag, the other with a couple of low clubs. Busted by a flush... My odds were only around 58%, so I guess an All-in call was a little hasty..

Crap cards + my crap play = Early night..

Interesting fact: Out of my three visits to the Fitz, I've never been anywhere else but table 1.

Oh right--- you got him to go all in against you a few times and took his cash. Iirc you doubled up early on and then I managed to take half of it back from you Congrats on winning the ticket!

Obscure

Had my best night in the fitz so far. Managed to get to the final table and went out 8th. Hardly got any decent cards in the hole all night and folded what felt like most hands all night pre-flop! What time did it finish up last night? cos when i went out at 1.45 i was stuggling to keep my concentration!!! Had to look forward to the drive home after also!

Worst moment of night was going all in against slow-played flopped full-house!

Best moment was probably split hand with Noel Furlong when we both got QT and each hit the Q on the flop but neither of use would fold/big-raise.

Ob'

kipple

Got down to the last 5, I was on the SB with aces. Player to my right (the old guy forgot his name) bets about 80% of his chips, I go all in, he calls, the aces stand up and I get a ticket.

T.

Davey Devil

Noel was playing the sats?? God he must have been bored, wonder what he made of "loose Thursday's" quality of play?

mewso

I don't remember Noel Furlong being in there. I seriously doubt he would be playing a free tourney.

careca

Have to agree with Muso. Don't think Noel was in there. Well done Kipple. Was glad to see you knock out Jim. I thought it was going to go on all night at one stage.

Davey Devil

Who knocked out Jim? Where is he, I'll get him for that

Jim must be cursing his look running into Aces, and I saw him get knocked out last week with a set of bullets of his own.

careca

Want to see the way Jim played one pot Davey. Flop came 457 rainbow. Jim is pretending he can't see the cards down the table and asks "is that a diamond on the end". Next thing he goes all in. Nobody calls. Just as well. He had the nuts (6,3) and nothing to do with diamonds. Cute fecker.

Davey Devil

Haha - that's the old Jim classic, I can't wait till he says, "Are these my cards?".

Obscure

On the final table who was the player to the immediate right of the dealer?

Thought someone refered to him as Noel and i jumped to Furlong....

kipple

Earlier I went all-in with kings vs Jim with queens and he won, so taking him out was sweet.

At one stage he started talking trash with the player to his left after that player folded to his all-in which was very funny.



T.

careca

No Ob that def wasn't Noel Furlong. Not sure who he was, think he was relatively new player. You'll know Noel Furlong when you see him. The words "All In" will be said a lot. Great player .

dapope

I know Noel played in the free statelites for the WSOP ticket. He was sitting at my table, I didn't know who he was at the time. Some guy started talkin to him about the 55 that won him the WSOP. Noel got moved to another table and we were informed that we had been in the presence of a poker great.

I love that about the Fitz u never know who's sitting in the seat next to you.

Davey Devil

He plays in the 250 almost every month although I'm sure he'll be over in Vegas for the World Series this month. I've had the pleasure of sitting at his table twice - very good player and a nice guy too.

Was that last night at the freeroll?? That might have been my house on the flop (q's and 9's). Was Furlong playing??

DeV.

DeVore

No bad beat stories but lots of bad luck!

I got a nice stack playing well and was up to about 15K... I put 2000 on A9 and Careca goes all in for 10K... I think about it and then thankfully put it down. He has aces! I congratulate myself on a good put down. the very next hand I try and steal the blinds with Q5s and he goes all in again! Again I walk away and again he has aces!! Thats a 1:42000+ chance!!

I'm hurt but ok... Next hand I put 5K raise in on 33 with 6 of us left and find a guy with AK that hits a K-high flop! OW! Ok.... next hand I get AK myself and put my remaining 5K on it, find a guy with 88 and I get no help on the flop, turn or river!
4 hands, no bad plays but I'm gone! *shrug*

DeV.

Yeah it was then..... great hand to be dealt, probably would have made more from it if i hadn't went all in though! Everyone else folded.

Scratch the Furlong thing.... must have misheard someone mention Furlong and assumed they were talking about one of the players at the table.

DeVore

Aye I might have (I was intending on slowplaying it to the river as it was the nut-house) but I was happy enough to double through!
