DeV.

cormie

Look forward to it!

Don't worry, I always burn the correct way now. I only did that the other night cuz some guy paid me to. I was like yeah cool!joke

Waylander

I may have a couple of others with me but I will not know till Monday. Do you need to know in advance, or can they just turn up on the night?

DeVore

They can turn up on the night, I have 4 tables at least ready.

DeV.

MrPudding

I don't think it will really matter unless an extra 50 turn up. I think the qorst that will happen is there might be a slight delay as more tables are put together.

MrP

Juan Pablo

I'll try get a few other lads along, I'd say intrest in the freezeout would be good.

cormie

This could either be a flop or a huge success. Prepare for both. You wont know until the night. Good luck and I hope I can make it. (99% sure I will be able so far)

Do you go out of your way to be irritating? Dev has taken the initiative to organise this, didn't see you doing anything about it - anyway isn't €50 not a bit rich for a pro poker player student like yourself?

DeVore

Ah now I think Cormie was just passing comment from experience. Everyone must have had a hard week cos were all being narky

This is going to rock, theres 30 signed up and lets face it, even 20 would make it a good night. I expect the final numbers will be closer to 40 myself.

So poker from 7 to 10ish and then on to the pub for beer and bad beats

DeV.

Hopefully somewhere with a late licence if we have to hear the latest installment of your bad beats

DeVore

I'll bad beat the fnck out of you, biatch!

DeV.

cormie

I'm simply speaking from experience. In something like this you have to prepare for obstacles.

I have actually offered to deal on the night, even though it probably will distract my play.

Why do you persist in calling me a student? I'm not a student. €50, if you must know, is in my price range.

re: "experience", hehe, I actually said it myself in the post above before I saw you mention it.

Bad beats? let's hope their lacking.

DeVore

I dunno... sometimes I wish the game stopped when you turned over your cards and the highest probability of winning just *won* right there and then but then you wouldnt get the rushes when you are drawing two more cards trying to dodge any 8 or any spade for 100 notes

Introducing:

'DeV's Bad Beat Bonus®'

Skim €50 out of the prize fund and whoever gets the worst bad beat of the night gets it.

Potential bad beats must be brought to the attention of DeV who will work out the bad beat % to 15 decimal places!

...i can dream cant I

cormie

that's quite a nice suggestion. €50 is nothing really, it's what? €10 or so from 1st places prize and less from the rest?

...building momentum...

I think we should do it, would be a bit of fun. Once people dont mind it breaking up play too much.

Wont be too many contenders and we know DeV will win it easily...


....but only if DeV wears a pink shiny metallic jacket gameshow style!

cormie

and sings my lovely horse!

I say you get a poll up Dev:)?

DeVore

I'm going to suggest two variants (your bad beat one, and one I've vaguely heard of before and have made up some rules for ) on another thread.

DeV.

Juan Pablo

Or just put €1 a skull into a side pot?

biteme

DeVore

Evil live, come along anyway as I'm also going to try and get everyone to go to Larry's or the Cellar for a pint afterwards so we can socialise. And talk about poker.

DeV.

gerire

None of my 5 extras have confirmed. Well 1 has but has a reputation for letting prople down. So I wont know until the night how many Ill be bringing along

DeVore

We've plenty of spaces as I've booked 4 tables with options on more so drag who you like along on the day if you like....

DeV.

cormie

Think that kind of answers that for you

Edser

I'll try to be there, plus possibly two others.

Ed

TwoShedsJackson

Do you have to have a photo ID or anything to sign up if you've never been there before? Someone tell me quick as I'll have to go home at lunch to get some if you do

Marq

you actually don't need photo ID. Just say you're there for the poker. they'll ask you for it next time, but you shouldn't need it tonight.

Marq

I'll be there, with Brendan in tow. I look forward to taking all of your chips. and terminating you all. terminating you good.

DeVore

Theres no real upper limit on seats so drag your mates along. Or better still leave them there and just bring their money

PhotoID is needed but NOT on the night you join up, you have to bring it in the next time you come.

DeV.

Err..

Sorry for the late post. Count me in as well.

J

DeVore

no problem....

DeV

Marq

Right, see you all tonight, I'm off to stuff my face and then enjoy a smooth camel filter before taking all of your chips. ahem. well done to all the people involved in the organisation of this, hope it goes well for ye and us.

How much are Camel paying you?






































You're in Marlboro country now...

Marq

Used to be in Marlboro country, then they changed their blend. but enough about me.

Congratulations to DeV and everyone else on a great tournament. Really impressed and pleased to hear it will become a monthly event. Wound up at the final table with exactly as many chips as I started with at the beginning of the tournie. and then came seventh and got back exactly as much as I parted with, sans a fiver for the pleasure. then I left and enjoyed a Smooth Camel Filter. Great night all round so.

Err..

Good night. Thanks Dev & co.

J

Waylander

Well organised lads, I thought everything went very well.

Edser

Great night, thanks to the organisers and dealers.

Ed

Juan Pablo

Aye good crack, well done lads.

Who took it home in the end?

kencleary

Just like to echo whats already been said - great tournament well done lads!!!
When's the next one?

DeVore

from all the organisers, you're welcome.
hopefully the next one will be better, we hope to run them at more reasonable hours then the casinos. Probably saturday afternoon.

Great final table play btw, some absolutely stonking action
Rossa finally took it, dominating to final table with well timed cards and just a little luck . I'm glad one of the Boards Team did well... the rest of us spanked, hard!

DeV.

Marq

Congrats Rossa. difficult tournie to win. what were the rest of the final table results?

DeVore

I dunno but I saw some very fine play at the second last table, which I dealt to.
Greg (Quozl) had some awful luck being rivered three times to go from very big stack to very small!

We had a real train crash at the final table, UTG checked, Rossa moved all in (40Kish) with 10,10 ... Greg called him with QQ (about 10K) and UTG calls (39K)approx. UTG has KK but Rossa hit a 10 on the flop and that was that!

btw, did I mention Decker is a cnut?

DeV.

quozl

i got 5th.
Started the final table as big stack, had about 45 of the 150k. Got some damn nice hands but Rossa got even ****ing nicer I had some good luck earlier so can't complain.

I liked the terminator idea, knocking people out is always more of a buzz to me than winning the money. I guess I'm just a cnut.

Greg

Grats Rossa by the way, good job

Juan Pablo

Who finished as top Terminator and what was deemed to be the baddest, most cnut licking beat of the night?

Well done Rossa btw
