Yes, i'm heading in. Bringing a few novices with me as well, so hopefully they'll all be at my table. Do you've any info on it? Do we deal ourselves?

Believe me you don't want to many novices at your table.They have dealers abit inexperienced from what I hear but that will improve with time.

I have a Chinese class in Trinity which is due to finish at 8:30 - if I leg it from there up to the SE and become a member by 8:45, will they let me play? I saw something about no late entries...

Wouldn't worry about it too much, I've yet to see it kick off before 9.30

What are the starting stacks? 2k + 2k?

Blind levels - 30mins?

Number of runners?

Payout structure?

No, awful...:) Don't worry, I'll be there in time if I decide to play, not 100% I'll make it (work + class + poker = no dinner), but I probably will turn up. I've heard so many good things about the snacks there, they might be a dinner substitute!

Well Dub13 I'm waiting for that report you promised me from last night...:D

I have a feeling you went all the way you had the lucky glow of a guy who was going to crack Aces or something.....;)

Probably because it's not on South Anne Street.

I came 5th for 150 euro:( , long long final table.I just went card dead on the final table stole a few blinds but got caught in the end.A deal was on the table with 5/6 of left that would have given us all the same as second place but we had one objector.

Very nice place and its always nice to finish in the money (even if its only 150) on your first visit.A few minor issues with the structure need to be sorted out,and the tournament director needs to know how many chips you get for your rebuy/double chance.But all in all a good night had and I think SE is going to be good for the scene in Dublin.

ps:that was a tough first table we were on.

ntlbell

I was sent packing by some donkey arsing around with 10 6o

I wouldn't mind but he spent half the night complaining about the guy to my left for getting in heavy with Q6o

well done dub, 150, better than another bubble!

seemed to be alot of the AUL crowd there, was that your gang dub?

NO DEALS Paul!!

Well done on 5th anyway a decent result considering there was a decent field of 50 runners or so.

that was a tough first table we were on.

It was a grand table except for the guys who had ginormous stacks and wouldn't hear of laying down King high. I was disappointed to have Joe and Kevin knocked out early because I can at least make plays on them. Some of those other guys you just had to wonder about...

I think I'll play Wednesday next week for the extra chips and the hopefully bigger final pot - although its great to have a decent option on a Thursday.

Lovely casino - I was very impressed with the place, can see myself wasting many evenings there in the future. Waitresses were not of the same standard of the famous 'Mayfair Princess' (rumour is she was the oldest daughter of the dethroned King of Transylvania, forced to wait tables in Ireland due to a wicked gypsy's curse...) but they just about met my high expectations. Was fun to sit inbetween ollyk1 and Dub13, good banter ensued. I quadrupled up while horribly shortstacked and soon afterwards pushed all in for 1300 with K9 when I heard the blinds were going up from 200/400 to 300/600, was called by AJ and out I go in 18th place. As Dub13 mentioned on the night, they could use an extra blind level of 150/300, going from 100/200 to 200/400 is a bit much. Dealers made numerous mistakes as they were inexperienced. Food was top notch. That said, hard to beat the Fitz's mounds of cocktail sausages!
There was a small bit of nastiness / tension on our table just before I was knocked out, hopefully it didn't continue later into the night.

Went there as well last night. Very nice place. What tables were you on?

I started at table 3, and got moved to table 2 when they merged the tables in the end. Maybe I can put names to some of the faces.

Had a good start but went pretty card dead the last 2 hours. Went then finally out on the bubble. Should have mucked my pocket 4's, I guess, but the BB was waiting the next hand, which was going up to 2K and I had only 4K left anyway. BB duly called with AJ and flopped a pair. That was my night.

Is there a website for this place?

It sure was.


ollyk1,I no you don't like deals but this one made sense it was getting late and a few of the lads were up early for work etc and the chips were very even.It ended up going on for another couple of hours. I went out just after 3 and with 4 still left it could have been a long night and the prize pool just is not big enough at the moment to justify a 4 am finish IMO.

on a side note

Two Fistful of Shamrock members sitting side by side,they were lucky we did not see good cards.Last time me and ionapaul played side by side we took second and third.Maybe next time Paul...?
