Iceman78

What is the usual turnout for this game Iona? Is the standard any good at it as aint been to the SE yet?

ionapaul

Usually between 25 and 35 players. Standard is ok, much higher than the €50 game I think...that's not saying much!

Okay so you punks got lucky this time but it can't last forever - can it ??

De Deraco

let them rest and grow fat and lazy on their money, and then maybe a year from now or two years you'll strike and win it big.
well thats my plan anyway.

ionapaul

There were so many boardsters there last night, someone *must* have taken it down! Give us a report, you lucky few!

Despite being card dead and poker retarded last night, I'm going in for more punishment tonight. Last longer bet anyone?

Yeh id like to know how the final went too........... i went out on the bubble for the 2nd time in 4 starts at the emporium!!! :mad: to make it worse the same guy who knocked me out had hit 2 perfect cards to river a split pot and stay in the tourney against me just after the break!

califano

Yeah i remember you. Lobbying for €80 off the top for 10th when you were down to the felt. Good effort you gotta try!.
When we got to and even before the FT there was a bit of disgruntlement about €400(total) in ticket tokens out of the prizepool for the top two for the big €300 game on satuurday. Which was fair enough. Players werent told this at the start of play and eventually got the TD to reluctantly give the option of taking the cash instead which was fair enough too. Willzer was the CL, ocallagh was still there but i think he lost a couple of pots before the FT. DocO was still there too. I arrived at the FT shortstacked and made a hasty exit soon after.

eoghan104

rounders were you at my table for the last two? i was askin about that 80 as soon as we had 10 left and i wasnt the shortstack then! the reason i suggest this is because the bubble play is always very tight and a crapshoot that goes on forever! (which is exactly what happened last night) Due to this long drawn out period of no flops the blinds end up being very high for the FT. therefore why not take €80 off the €1140 for 1st and effectivley just have a FT of ten. i think this would allow more play and stop the FT bein a crapshoot. Anyway €80 is not gona be missed by the eventual winner who still gets over a grand!!

brianmc

Hmmm... Can't put a face to the name yet. Which one were you Eoghan?

I eh... made a silly last stand on a pair of eights. They were cracked by Kings.

willis

Meh, out 6th, DocO out 5th. That hand killed me rounders when you went all in with J6, a bigger all-in with AQ and I call for half my stack with JJ and the Q hit. Never really recovered and by the time we got 6handed the avg stack was less than 10bbs so total crapshoot. I suggested freezing the blinds but for some reason no takers. Missed opportunity I feel but couldnt do anything diffferently, should lash up a report on the blog in a while...1st time playing poker in 2weeks so has to be done!

1 table was like a private boards stt at 1 stage,about 5/6boarsters at table 3 i think!

califano

Thats fair enough Eoghan valid points too. Despite this i dont really like players asking for money off the top(i dont feel that strongly about it though). It takes the strategy out of the game and shortstacks start playing freeroll style often turning their short stack into CL in jig time at others expense!.
I was wearing a French rugby shirt.

ionapaul

Yeah, at the start table 3 had 8 players, including brianmc, ollyk1, rounders123, ocallagh and my good self. Great craic There will be more donkeys than sharks there tonight I hope!

I was the guy at the break in the red shirt who said "oh, that was you!" when the KK-min-raise-post was mentioned.

There was a lot of inane talk on that table. I hated them less and less as time went on though.
But im usually quiet at the table and give expression of one whos had his loved ones murdered. Its just my natural expression. Im alive inside. Really!.

DocO

gud tournie gud fun and good representation from boards, so do i win the last longer bet then?
