who is playing what 2nite?

Gholimoli

It looks like we are spoiled for choice 2nite ladies and gents:

1) The infamous 50 DC at SE
2) GJP 70+10 in Europa
3) The 150 FO in Fitz
4) Im sure jackpot have something on as well that I cant recall.

So speak up folks.

I 'have' to go drinking first but may pop into the SE around Cinderella time for some cash action....

tough life ain't it?

I think I am going to crawl under a rock and sleep, but if I get energy I will be heading to the Fitz. There were around 70 runners last week I think.

70 runners huh? Damn world cup. Though I do need some live poker. Might head in for this.

My brand new 19" LCD, 8ms response time and kick-ass gaming mouse (hells yeah you can get mice designed for gaming!) was delivered to me today so I'm not sure I can drag myself away from the computer for very long tonight (think of all the extra hardcore por....I mean spreadsheets I can now fit on the screen) - but if I can, the SE it will be.

I'm still quite shaken from my 1st hand exit with Aces on monday in the 100 freezeout but I have a good feeling in my waters.

How much do you serious poker nuts spend each week on poker, i.e. how much can each of you "afford" to lose per week in this big games. I play a bit of small blinds no limit internet poker and it all adds up pretty fast if you get on a bit of a losing streak. :mad:

I reckon some of you may have gambling issues.

Thanks for your input, now go away. And for the 'politeness police' out there this reply is about as constructive as the post I am replying to, and I am still recoving from a hangover so I have a drinking problem too it seems.

mepink

sorry my post seems to have offended you.

I am just curious to know what kind of level you guys are spending at. is it €100 per week, €400 per week etc. Or is it more isolated weeks of larger amounts?

a lot of the players on here actually make a profit, mepink.

for others, its a fun way to spend a portion of there income, and far more healthy than the way a lot of others spend their income.

As for how much, it depends on the person, some would earn a lot in work, and can afford to spend this on poker.
Some make several thousand a month from poker.
Some play once twice a month, spending 100-200 quid.
Everyone has different circumstances.

Personally, i pay about €3k in rake alone each month to poker sites, so i need to win this first, just to break even !!

mepink

cheers Rob, just interested to know.

I am just a small cash internet player and have a limit of €100 per month. I am up slightly overall:)

I had the impression that real life games were for serious money, but presumably this is not always the case.

I reckon you could be right mepink. I'll be very careful. Thanks for the tip.

What about going out and getting very drunk at the weekends and spending all my cash on that is that an acceptable use of my money?

I reckon you may have drinking issues.

SE for me, hope to see a few of you there. I'm meeting the chief for a pint beforehand in Kehoes to discuss tactics.

I got encouraged to make myself scarce last night on the home front so I turned up at the SE.

A very good boards turnout in a 48 runner field with Lazare, Washout, Gholi, Ionapaul, modmuffin and others in attendance. Myself and Paul made it to the FT but we both only managed to crash out for our money back after 2am. G'ah! :rolleyes:

I hope the boys attending the Fitz game had more sucess.

I had the most excruciating night of Pot Limit Omaha of my life, going from 200 to 600 at 1/2. Then from 600 to 2k at 2/4. And then from 2k to busto via the sickest outdraws on the face of the Earth. I hate Omaha.

Be careful not to irk Olly. He would prefer some quid pro quo im sure;)

Seat 4 for me, was CL going to FT and then saw my PK JJ get beaten by the monster Q10 hitting a str8 on the river. Maybe that was Olly either:)

Seat 7. Beside the "monster" in seat 9 after I took out seat 8. Were you in seat 5?

So you were the only boardster to make money then!! WP. You played a good game its a pity at 2.30am the we were all playing with 3-6 BB but the game has to finish at some stage I guess. How did you finish? did you take it down?

Seat 4 was playing at same table with you up to the bubble as well. I hit Quads twice, which was nice:) Was a good bit of craic but the play was a bit questionable with all those "monster hands" being seen. The big CL went on to win by the way.

Methinks I come across a lot more grumpy in text. :rolleyes: In real life I'm not that bad. Honest Guv!

Had some great fun at the two table stage on table two. My trash talk game was going very well

ionapaul

Bah humbug. Olly, I made a mistake not calling your all-in on my big blind, a few hands after I took yours and you had your 2 minute long dwell up. I bet I was ahead of you when you pushed looking for...REVENGE (just like the Count of Monte Cristo).

Ligger I was in seat 3, right beside you.

Lots of play up to the final table last night, I can't say enough about how much I like the new structure compared to the old one, its great.

lol. Your honing your table talk to a fine art for sure. You give the punters good value for money before taking their money with a smile:D

Were you the one with the magic jacket so..?

Was plenty of play at FT but in the end the CL had 85% of chips and the other 3 had the rest going down to the final 4. I knocked out the 2 brothers at the FT in one hand when I hit and A on the turn with the "monster" A6 o/s. Dont blame me but it was only 3k more than the BB to call. 1st hand heads up all the money in pre flop and he has PK 99 V A4 (another monster) and we both hit str8s and he has the one to the 9. Ho hum.
