Free poker lessons by the Chief him self…
Last night I ventured in to SE to play (that’s right ) a cash game for the first time live.
I wanted to pop my cherry and for what I had seen and heard SE was the place to start for a newbie.
Had to wait for a while and while I was waiting I decided to check out the completion.
Apart from couple of well-known faces (chief O’Hara and minime expect he was a little darker and a little taller) I didn’t know any one else. after 15 min I knew there was plenty of money to be made here so it was just a matter of whether I was going to get some cards or not cuz actions was pretty much guarantied .
Eventually I sat down to Chief’s right (not an ideal place as I would love to have position on him) but hey what can you do.
Let me tell you that I have never in my life had to suppress my laughter so much.
This was a comedy show funnier than anything ever witnessed before.
Hell I would have gladly paid $150 to be entertained for 3 hours like this never mind actually making money as well.
The craic was mighty and the only down side was that every 15-20 min I had to get up, excuse my self, go to the toilet, open the window, stick my head out, and scream out loud laughing my ass off and then return to my seat.
To the left of chief sat a 40 odd year old man who was apparently down about 800 or so.he was not happy about this fact and when chief had picked up to $30 pots in a row on rag flops Mr muppet cant help him self asking for chief’s secret.
Chief while collecting his chips looks at him ,smiles and goes :
“well it takes practice you know,ive been playing a long time ,you gotta be patient as well… you gotta play low cards and when you hit you gotta bet…”
I immediately had to excuse my self and visit the toilet window again.
Eventually I stacked the chief when he put in all most 160(this is 1,2 ppl) chasing middle pin str on a paired board against my boat.
Some of the most memorable hands of the night wear as follows:
This is a hand involving
Mr Muppet
Mr Muppet + 1
Goose Hansen( I only play any two cards below ten and I bet any flop with it above ten) .

Mr Muppet limps.
Muppet +1 makes it 7 .
Goose calls.
Mr muppet calls.

Flop:
Q 8 3 with two spades

Check,check,check.

Turn
6 spade

check,check,check

River
9 clubs.
Mr muppet pot,muppet +1 call,goose pot .
Mr mupper all in,muppet +1 call,goose call.

Conversation:
Goose to Mr muppet :do you have the nut flush.
Mr Muppet :no (slamming his cards on the table with a smile) ,I do have a run to the queen though and shows JTo with no spades.

Mupper +1 :good enough and shows and mucks KK with no spade.
Goose: I win and turns over T4 of spades.pot nearly 800-1K.

This is deffo one of the most fun nights ive had playing poker.
I left after 3 hourse with 750 profit and I was card dead all night.
The best hand I saw was a 99.once AK,once AQ,once AT.
I cant help it feel what could have been if I only saw some good cards but then again I enjoyed it so much that I really don’t care.
Try it .

But shhhhh.

Edit: HalfBaked was going to dump his chips in the tournament when he saw your cash table. It was akin to Sea World in Bray, but with more fish.

I'm posted so much about him recently I'm on a self-imposed ban of mentioning what I think of him and his attempts to give me advice. Because it puts me on mega-tilt. I'm gonna pop my live cash game cherry in the SE in the next week or so. Can't wait to meet this Buddha chap!

Went looking for this place the other night and couldnt find it - and nobody i asked knew of it, is this on the same street as major toms or what?

If you think the Chief makes you tilt, then I can only imagine what Buddha will do to you.

On a side note, here's an example of the Chiefs skill. He was on my starting table in the SE last night. i arrived about an hour late and he had a decent stack. Within 20 minutes he was gone.

He went out on this gem of a hand:

Blinds at 100/200, the button raises to 800 on the Chiefs BB. Cheif calls.

The flop is K 7 T rainbow. Chief checks. Button bets 1600. Chief raises all in for another 4000. Button calls with top pair. The Chief has J8o! LOL.

Walk down Grafton Street towards O'Connell Street. take the first right onto South Anne Street. Then halfway down the street on the righ there's a lane called Anne's Lane. Walk up there and Bob's your uncle.

Foolish, impetuous young grasshopper....

his karmic energy will make mincemeat of your strategy - prepare to die by the two-outer and see the wonders of the patented Buddha fist-pump

HalfBaked

I genuinely considered just dumping my chips in the tourney when I saw that cash table forming Gholi. It wasn't just the two on your left either, there were a few others who prove a pleasure to play cash games with.

I think he played well postflop

If you know how he plays, though, you'd call that raise if you hit any part of that flop or had a mid PP. He'd still his his gutshot 8 times of out 10 though...

fuzzbox

My bad, I thought he had a dble gutshot.

He sux

He's the spit of Chief Brody, the cop in Jaws hence the name.
