MC Qualifier

The_Chopper

Good luck to all taking part tonight - post here and let us all know how you get on.

Unfortunately I won't be taking part as once again I was struck down with the curse of internet poker

Culchie

Yes best of luck, what with the best players in Dublin playing this, and another gang going to the Emporium, I think I'll mosey on down to the Fitz and see if I can get a bye in the freeroll for the end of month game.

Good Luck Again Chaps

DeVore

Give me a shout when you are down there Culchie, I'll be up on the balcony playing.

kpnuts

GL all

kpnuts

Great structure... 5k starting chips and 15-minute levels starting at 10-20 ... starting table not ideal though, including as it does Eamon (5pin5) Dave O'C (DaithiO) and Kevin Fitzpatrich (fitzyone)...

Updates later...

kpnuts

Dream start... KOed Eamon and Dave in consecutive hands, cracking pocket rockets each time

DeVore

yes, I set the tournie structure, Peter wanted to give the finalist plenty of play.

So far I've over doubled up but then Muso caught a 2 outer that I couldnt get away from...

Back to 6.2k for now and back in the pack. God damn you and your queens Muso!

DeV.

mewso

Pure bad luck for you tom but it was difficult to let go of a strong overpair on the flop. I'm glad neither knocked the other out though.

Daithio

I'm gone already, AA cracked by KP's 66. Had the feeling I was up against a set but by that stage more than half my chips were in the middle. Feel fairly sick about it. I should have gotten away from it and battled on with my remaining 2k.

DeVore

Aye, its a train crash and its inevitable. I might have been better off sticking you all in on the flop. I dunno if you would have called that but its my only out.

its funny I thought "this hand is going to get me into trouble" when I saw the pair of fours preflop.

DeV.

mewso

Blimey KK and I'm chip leader. Can't last.

Ye I think you could possibly have got away from it too, but hey, UL was hard to put him on trips there...

mewso

As expected gone card dead. Thankfully I have some chips I can use to get me through it.

mewso

Just put a guy all in for 4k.
Me AK
Him AJ

Flop: K 10 x - nice
Turn: Q - you jammy son of xxxxX@X@
River: J - phew

Ste05

Good old Doc knocked me out - in BB shortish stacked with JJ - he raises me from SB, I re-raise him, he goes all in, I call - he has A10 - flops an A and bye bye - nh Doc, go on and win it now ......

Doc Farrell

gone.

Ste05

saw that 2 pair J's and 7's - what happened there?? Only saw the chat box - didn't see what happened in the hand

Good old Shamanix - who is he???

mewso

Break time again and tom is chip leader, kp in third, me in 9th and oscar 12th I think with 18 left. Not sure of any other boardsies there.

RuggieBear

been quite interested watching this. funny to see so many boardsie players

mewso

Well my night is over. Tom puts me all-in with A2 v my KK and hits a str8. No comment. Night wp gl gg.

Did I say no comment... You better win you jambag.

RuggieBear

yeah....ouch

now he's got 10k on 2nd

edit: not any more.....must have put the knockers on him, lost 2 hands and 15k

Doc Farrell

ok, calmed down now.
The Shamanix kept raising my raises so i got pocket nines, only he calls my raise.
flop ten high, he reraises a sizable raise. i should have folded but instead went all in.
he didnt have a ten.
he had pocket jacks.
looking back I should have respected his play instead of thinking he was playing just me.
one words sums up my play in retrospect.
dumb.
i see he is out now in 14th.
who is the shamanix? anyone know?
he played well, too bloody well.

He did play well, kept coming over my raises too... think we got bad seats,

Doc Farrell

well he pissed away 19,000 in the time it took for me to go to the off licence and back. so someone clipped his wings alright.

DeVore

no **** but I'll be back.

Sorry about that Muso. Officially out of the doghouse for that Q (and no pints needed!)

DeV.

Doc Farrell

baby i am one disappointed bunny, had my wardrobe all picked out for Monte Carlo, with a pizza ordered in my favourite pizza place at the edge of the sea wall.

I'll be back!

DeVore

I'm back at the top, tough game though!

DeV.

Doc Farrell

5starpool

Or Charlie with a moustache?

Edit : No, that's Charlie Power isn't it on second thoughts.........

The_Chopper

Anyone here win this thing tonight?

Yeah ste it wasn't one of my proudest moments. The main problem was that when I re raised him (after putting him on a check raise steal cos I thought he had me on two big cards following through) I raised him 2k, but I didn't know the poxy prima software adds in your original bet too, whick was 700. To explain more, I'd bet 700, Ken had re raised me, and I meant to make it 2.1k total, but the dumbass software made it 2.8k, adding in my original bet. Then I only had 1800 left out of my starting stack when Ken re re re raised me, and I was v pissed off, so I just stuck it in. Stupid decision all the same and there's no excuse. At least I had ten per cent of Ken, but it wasn't to be for him either despite cracking aces twice and playing excellently. I watched the end and it got a bit crapshooty which was a bit of a disappointment; at least an Irish guy won it in the end, although I think out of that final KP would have the best chance of actually succeeding in the MCM. Oh well I'm chuffed for Charlie too, he seems like a nice guy and played excellently so who knows what will happen. I hope he wins it!

kpnuts

Cheers Dave! Kind words! Looks like you made it no further than Burger King after Lillie's! I am playing £60 6paks on Betfair ... won the 1st one, 2nd one just underway ... sign up for next one if you fancy getting some of your chips back!!!

kpnuts

OK, won 2 out of 2 £60 6paks, time for bed before I tilt on PLO cash ... I wish stg£408 profit could negate the loss of the 30k euro package I felt sure I was going to win tonight ... ah well, Good Luck Charlie

Daithio

Lol. Think I'm gonna hit the hay, had plans of going to college tomorrow which I haven't entirely abandoned yet. Give us a call anyway re St. Kitt's. GL, Dave.

kpnuts

Just registered for a third £60 6pak ... c'mon have a go! college shmollege!

Daithio

Just missed it! I'm registered for a £90 one if you want to multi? If we get heads up you want to chop it regardless of chips?

kpnuts

of course!

Ah I was wondering about that, the bet did seem a bit big at the time..

Culchie

I didn't think the softwar on Prima did that, if you are raising to 2100, it should be 2100 in total.

It's Tribeca where your 2100 will be added to the 700 and be a 2800 bet in total.

Culchie, you are right as regards raising on Prima when you have not put any chips in yet (i.e. raising from zero), but when you are RE-RE-raising, as Dave was, you type the amount you are raising by, not to, as Dave would be more used to doing on other sites, hence the problem... I am not used to playing on Prima and I had the same problem last night, twice raising by more than I had intended to... I also could not work out how to bet specific amounts throughout the tournament and found this quite a nuisance, to say the least

Culchie

ah OK.

You just type in the white box how much you want to bet, if the muliple options it give are not to your liking.

I suppose it's what you are used to, I started playing on betfair and ladbrokes, and it's the same set up to laddies, except the lobby area is not as clear and tidy. I like the gaming software myself.

Imposter

The main problem with the raising as I see it is that when you enter a number and press enter the number you've entered is not updated in the raise button. It used to be updated so that when you pressed the raise button you knew what you were betting. Another annoying thing is that you have to type in the exact amount of your chips to go all-in and not some magically huge number like on other sites. Type in too big a number and it just works like a min raise
