An awful lot of tasty options tonight!
I'd have personally said the Fitz DC game would have the biggest prize pool for the lowest buy-in. i.e You could win a proportionally bigger amount for €50 but its a close run thing and I could be wrong.
My preference list would be something like
Fitz
Regency
Merrion
SE
I'd say I'll hit the Fitz tonight but if that Merrion game gets more than 35 runners I'll be adding it to my regular schedule....

Anyone have any idea about what the payout usually is for tonight in the fitz? roughly. Think me and a few mates are heading in, not members of the Fitz tho, what do you need? Garda Id? O and what the closest dart station? I'm completely clueless with directions
thanks 0 -

Pay out will depend on number of players... I'd guess 50 players... 2500 payout.
Pearse St. Station is probably the best DART stop. Turn left - walk up to Merrion Square and walk around to the opposite corner of the square. It's about 15 metres up Fitzwilliam street from there.
Driver's license or passport to join I think but I ony did it once so I'm not an expert. (I.E. you might get away with a Garda I.D. - I dunno)0 -

This got approximately 75 runners last night so a decent payout for the winner. I exited stage left with 15 players left. Brianmc was still in and a few what I suspect were boardsters.
I didn't get to run into Gaiscíoch (that I know of) I was on table 4 seat 9 all night but myself and Corbendallas butted heads all night!!

Good crowd last night. Was out myself with about 25 players left. Brianmc was trying to bully the table with his big stack but failing miserably
Anyone stop by the Merrion? How many runners? I think a few of us might have a go at this should they get the runners.0 -

I don't remember that bit - Iona "but it's only AKs and I have six BBs" Paul.
It wasn't a terribly exciting tournament for me. I was involved in a three way split though which is nice.
It is blogged below, but I'd wait until I had nothing else to entertain me before I'd bother reading it.0 -

The reason for the AKs hesitation was that he (the guy on my right) had only played one or two hands that night and with that raise I *knew* he had a premium hand. But obviously I had to call and was very glad to see it was only a 50/50 vs JJ - he honestly could have had the bullets or cowboys, his range was that tight.
I believe you. 0 -

Have you now Gaiscíoch. I too own a similar but larger thundercats t-shirt so I noticed you straight away. You got moved to table 4 into seat 10 right beside me before you finally got knocked out. I was the one who sagely said "Well you have to win that flip if its going to be your night"
I have a replica roman coin as a card protector.
I don't own a brown jumper, a car, or much money

What made you think that I wonder. My witty good humour ? or my angry glares at the table in generally??
The man who shall henceforth be known as brown jumper pot committed himself preflop to calling my button push with AK with 44 and went and got a 4 flush to knock my flopped two pair out. After that I was not there to witness his progress but I believe he went on to partake in the 3 way chop for €775 plus €75 festival credit for his troubles.
He was a bit of a serial overraiser (which I unfortunately was not in position to take advantage of) and very willing to gamble but a strong player nonetheless.0 -

brown jumper guy:
Mid to late twenties. Clean shaven.
MP3 playing/listening. Listens loud enough that he doesn't always hear whats going on at the table.
In Ireland hooking up with some chick for a week.
Knows Dave Hall and Willow. Didn't speak to anyone else.
Likes to raise his BB if its limped too.
Overbets the pot preflop no matter what the blind level.
Was at seat 7 table 4 at the two table stage.
Was the overall CL when I left with 15 players left.
(That's my playeer notes anyway... ) 0 -

That's the guy. I think... my notes on fourth place guy read something as follows...
Wasn't naked.
Mid to late twenties. Clean shaven.
MP3 playing/listening.
Didn't speak to anyone.
Overbets the pot preflop if he does bet.
Had a decent stack going into the final table.
Had aces at least three times in 30 minutes.
Donked away his remaining stack in a battle of the blinds as follows:
Blinds 1500/3000
My BB, his SB.
My stack: 40K
His stack: 38K
SB completes. I have K2o and check.
Flop: 49Kr
SB checks.
I bet 6K.
SB calls.
Turn: rag (7?)
SB checks.
I bet 10K
SB pushes for 29K total.
I call.
SB shows Q9o
River: Irrelevant0 -

I don't like the insinuation in a public forum that I would wear a brown jumper. You're on thin ice Dom.0 -

Good notes, if a little long. I think I'll add level of nakedness to my note taking from now on.:p
I call the turn CR 100% of the time against him too. WP.0 -

I played there last night, came mid 20's i think. It was my first time in so i was pretty happy with the result. Enjoyed the night and the experience, despite a few nerves at the start. I've a bit to learn before cashing but i could have finished a lot higher without a few stupid mistakes and a bit of bad luck ( Been said before i'm sure ). I was on table 2, then 7 then 1 i think. Picked AA up twice on 7, bit of forgetfullness about the blinds led to me min raising and been beaten on the river by 64o. The end was downstairs, my AK v AJ, J on the turn and i was gone. I'll def be back in though, hopefully having learned a lot. Btw i was wearing a grey stripey jmper, anyone else on my table during the night? p.s. Brown Jumpers aren't all that bad, depends on who's wearing them 0

Nope. Tables three and one for me all night.
I did ask at one stage if anybody had seen a guy with a half-black-eye and a big stack of chips but apparently not. There was another guy with half a black eye though.0 -

I love it! We'll have to have a chat the next time we're playing about what exactly Ollyness is because this is not the first time I've had this said to me. And not just from people who have read my posts And any man with a Thundercats t-shirt has an opinion which should be respected! 0 -

Is it usually this high ???
Another regular for the Fitz. It's like Cheers only better.
Yeah the game normally gets 60+ but summer time does reduce numbers in all the casinos. I think the 75 runners was a Champions league effect as people wanted to get their gamble on because they wouldn't be playing on Wednesday. That's why I was confident that the numbers would be 70+ this week.
Now Gaiscíoch if you really want to experience the Fitz and all its tournie characters you and your thundercats t-shirt are going to have to make it in for some hot scalping action on a Friday night. Great stuff.
Don't forget that next week is the Fitz festival so there is a different (and higher buyin) range of events going on but it will be back to normal after that.
P.S. Yes I was wearing a red t-shirt. 0 -

Ah guys can we not make it something reasonably poker cool? Like making a squeeze play from the SB with a complete bag of boll1x or pushing with a massive draw?? What do you think?
I'm not quite as deaf as Bob but if thats the price you have to pay to keep getting aces like Bob maybe it would be worth it......0 -
