SE Scalps Game Tonight

HalfBaked

I'm gonna be heading into this tonight, was an enjoyable tourney last week and I'd say the numbers will be up due to the break in the footy.

Anyone else gonna head in?

Modmuffin - Don't worry, I'll bring your scalp along

20% chance I might make it. Pity because its a great game.

The quality of tournies around town is really improving. Ain't competition great?

These threads should be named 'Whos going to what tonite?' from now on!. I think Gholimoli coined the phrase and it should have a TM.

Yes im going to the S.E tonite!

revised percentage in light of new info.....40% chance I might make it now.....throw in Ionapaul and I'm very nearly a cert.

Agree about the thread naming too Rounders but can we not spell it "tonight" just for me??? please??

Simply because Olly is going, I'm avoiding it. Going busto with aces last night in a cash game, getting my all-in with TT called by KJ in the satellite and the thought of Olly smiling as he raises my big blind for the umpteenth time in a row will have me on tilt for the rest of the summer. Instead I shall be multi-tabling the PLO tables on tribeca me thinks.

In 2 SE scalps games i've yet to claim a scalp. That sucks (I know, bad beat sticky.....)

Good good!.
About 'tonite'. I do have a bit of a habit of spelling some words the American way i suppose. Theres just something very strict about 'tonight'. I always think of the programme 'Today Tonight' whenever i seee it spelt the proper way!.

Word on the street is that Ollieboy is coming and bringing with him two pro's;) .

im planning on heading to the fitz "tonight" (thats for you olly!) only because id heard the numbers were so low in the SE last week??? at least your pretty much guaranteed 40+ in the fitz. im not into tournies with less than 25 runners. do you really think there will be many there tonight just because the footy isnt on???

ROFL!!

I probably won't make it Ian as I have a work thing but they can sometimes be fairly dead and I might skip out early. The thoguht that anyone would ever avoid me is brilliant!!

In 2 Se scalps games that I've played I've only one one scalp. I'm not worried. In ~15 Fitz scalps game I've only won on average one scalp per game. I'm an overall winner for both games so I'm not worried. Scalps are for gamblors, I love gamblors so I play their scalps game but I paly for the prize pool not the scalps.

I'd say there will be 35+ tonight eoghan. Easy. This game is going to be a big winner. I love the Fitz but the Wednesday rebuy doesn't compare to this game.

ianmc38

I would imagine that the SE scalps on a Wednesday is going to become very popular. Even the multi-rebuy satellite last night had 3 tables last night. I'd say 35+ is about right for tonight especially as there's no footy on. Olly let me know if you're going to miss it as i'll definitely go then.

Paul you gonna head in?

eoghan104

yeh i suppose i should go and have a look then........ i can always go to the fitz if the turnout is bad!

Culchie

What is the tourney tonight in the SE?

All you guys must have your own poker scheduler at this stage......and she can't be female either!

wailers_irl

Whats the buy in for scalps in the SE??

who actually won the seats in this last night?? was anyone playing? if there was only 3 tables it wouldve been great value!!!

5starpool

I *may* go in tonight. I would rate my chances as 35/65. I have to get up early (for me) tomorrow morning and I am playing the EOM tomorrow night so I might do the sensible thing and stay in, but around 8pm I might just get that itch again.......

ianmc38

HalFBaked on boards won one. Ten tickets altogther. I had Leslie McLean rocking it up on my left. Note to self - never limp on his BB again from the SB.

I was bubble +1 when some donkey called my all-in for 80% of his stack with the monster that is KJ. I had TT.

Luckily I already had 2 tickets so wasn't overly annoyed.

The scalps tonight is €40+€10+€5 + one rebuy or topup @ €45.

Numbers dont arrive til about 8:45 even though it kicks off at 8:30.

eoghan104

hang on was last night not the €150 with one rebuy qualifier for the wsop??? i got a text bout it on friday from the emporium??

No that's 4th July. Last night was a sat for the 150 game.

ionapaul

I also *might* turn up tonight, no live poker in a week makes ionapaul go crazy. However, tomorrow is my final day and work and I want a good sleep tonight to ensure that I'm ready for the evening that follows! Plus going to wedding Friday in Wicklow and a party on Saturday, need all the sleep I can get. That said, don't have to leave the apt until 9am tomorrow morning so have an extra hour tonight to use up.

But the one time I played the SE
Weds night scalps game I really enjoyed the structure, even though I ran into Mr. Chuckles the funny poker clown. Ian I have no idea of his name, he ticked me off a little that night! I'm easily riled these days though, so annoying me is not that impressive an achievement.

Once on my 'career break' I will have much time for poker and all of my other vices.

ocallagh

providing im awake at 8pm (5am starts tend to hit me at about 7pm..) i'm heading into this. Have a big mechanics bill to pay tomorrow so it's cash in the SE or reluctantly make a trip to the bank ...

i wasn’t gonna go to this as im planning to play the Fitz EOM tomorrow.
However seen as it looks to be a fish fest and there seems to be alot of dead money i may just attend this.
Niall,
i have double checked the spelling on this post and you can check it for your self as well. if your satisfied that there is no mistakes made, I believe you owe me a pint.

You need to double check a little more I am afraid Ehsan. I have underlined and emboldended (a new word perhaps) some spelling/grammatical errors, and I am not including the failure to capitalise your 'I' references.

I am sure he owes you a pint for effort anyhow

I was very kind, by only pointing out the obvious ones. There are many more.

LOL!! more dead money - and Gholi you owe me a pint for that effort!

brianmc

Sign me up for this one too.

See ye there.

ocallagh

actually - is anyone interested in 1 before hand? Eshan I'll get you one for your effort!!

What time does it start? Meet in Keoghs 30 mins prior to start?

ollyk1

Finished 7th (first in the money when I couldn't laydown JJ to ocallagh's AA - I'm a fish.... )for my money back plus three scalps.

Ocallagh, eoghan and halfbaked were fighting very hard and very well to try and win this so GL to them all. Anyone i dogged during the night I'm not sorry - just sorry I didn't win more chips of you!!

eoghan104

very funny final table!!! i ended up going out third in the end but shouldve been gone alot earlier!!!! when ther was 6 left i was all in for one big blind (4000) with 3 others......... Flop was a q 9 so my jack king wasnt looking great!!! cue ollieboys dad betting into the empty side and forcing ocallagh to fold an ace......... what did he have you ask????? jack king!!!!!

So i quadruple up next hand with jacks and eventually get up to 82000 before running qj into a7 to go out in third for 570 (including ticket to the wsop qualifier on tues for €150)

now......... does anyone want to buy said ticket for €130???? i dont think ill be around, its on next tuesday?

ionapaul

Might be interested in that ticket - let me think about it

Gholimoli

if Paul dosent want the ticket i get it from you.
who won this at the end anyway?

modmuffin

wp lads, good to see a couple of boardsters ITM! Who won in the end?
Halfbaked count yourself lucky you werent on my table lall night.....you can hold onto my scalp until next week!!

I had a rather uncharacteristic blow up at 11.45 last night.
Having played tighter than a chickens ar*e all night (i literally limp/folded twice & check/folded my blind twice before the break!)
I managed to double up twice after the break & was sitting in a nice enough chip position with 16 left.
At approx 11.42 I lose 7000 in a pot i shouldve taken down on both the flop & turn
Then at 11.44 approx i reraise a decent players preflop raise all-in with AJo (wtf), thinking he'll fold. Alas it wasnt to be & after a brief comeback when all you hungry cnuts were after my scalp without an ace between ye, i exited shortly afterwards!!
All i can do is hang my head in shame...AJo, it serves me right!!

Enjoyable tourney all the same, id say this could get very popular (after the world cup!)

eoghan104

peter (halfbaked??) chopped it with an older guy called eamon i think for about a grand each.

brianmc

Well, that was a very enjoyable... eh... hour.

Gholimoli - if you're offering lessons, I would like to subscribe to your classes.

It was nice to see 5 boardsters on the final table. Spectre squeezed in there too.

eoghan104

What seat was spectre in?

Err... not sure. I was well settled into the cash game by that stage. Seat two or there about I think.


ianmc! What happened last night? It wasn't pretty. I'll check back in later and you'd better have a good explanation!! It was a rough night for you.

:eek: :eek: My outdraws looked tame in comparision!!

Although Gholimoli deserved some luck for providing such quality entertainment trying to get that guy to fold AK on a KKT9 board. Insta classic!!

ollyk1

Spectre was in seat 1. He finished in the bubble +1. Ran QQ into KK which was a bit nasty.

I'm delighted for Eamon and Peter. Both played some very good poker from what I saw. Disappointed ocallagh couldn't finish a little higher but I knew all those fishy KQ calls would catch up on him!

HalfBaked

Thanks Olly,

Good to see so many boardies in last night, see the SE ain't all that bad!

Must say I really like the new scalps tourney, only downside is another late night mid week. Just seem to be running out of hours in my week...damn poker *shakes fist*

Final table last night was of the best standard I've seen in the SE and I think it's fair to say there were very few mistakes made (mostly made by me ). Well played all.

Went heads up, after being up and down at the final table like a pair of brassers knickers, about 40/50K behind Eamon. Played heads up for about 5 minutes and took down most of the pots to bring us level and at that stage Eamon asked me if I wanted to split it. Decided that since it was 3am on a school night I was happy enough. Well played Eamon (he will be loggin in, was asking me how to get to the board last night).

ianmc38

Well I had the worst night I've ever had in the SE last night, psychologically and monetarily.

Was going fine in the tourney when Ollies Dad hit a flush to cripple my trip aces and silly old me felt the need to pay his river check raise off. That was all my early good work undone. Built back up to 4k and stayed around ther until the break.

Then on my BB I was preparing to throw the off suit hammer in the muck. But everyone limped. Flop of 279. I checkraised the UTG bettor who held 9T. Turn was a ten and that was all she wrote.

That was the beginning of the cold deck. I then proceeded to the cash tables. Ran KK into AA twice. Had AK no less than 12 times. The three times I hit TPTK, I ran into two sets and once into AA. My trip kings were mugged by Chief Brodys straight(didnt pay him off!). After dropping buyin number 3 I couldn't face looking at another card for at least 18 hours when the double chance starts. That was my worst ever result in a live cash game.

Tourney was extremely good. Final table play was excellent. ollieboys dad had a moment of madness betting with air when a player was all-in. Musta learned that one from ollie . U/l for ocallagh as it crippled him.

HalfBaked played some great stuff and was doing well in the headsup before a deal was agreed.

Congrats to all the boardsies who made the final table and to brianmc(the rockiest rock in rocksville) on his win on the cash tables.

Gholimoli

Simply a great night of entertainment.
My table included ,Biranmc to my direct right, and Olliek to my direct left. also featuring was half-baked.
I showed a master class of bluffs and squeeze plays.
However I did fail to get a dude to fold his AK on a KKT board .i had AT and he kept betting at me and I thought another 1500 will get to fold his AK when the pot was nearly 6K. Unfortunately that wasn’t the case (there are a lot of calling stations in the SE as every one knows).
I enjoyed it all the same and it was great caric .deffo looking forward to the next one as I will be putting on another master class for all those interested.( QTo is the new AA)

Rock my as* the fish cant even laydown JJ in the face my obviouse AA which turned out to be QTo.

ollyk1

I'l be the first to admit it. I played poorly last night. However thanks to my outdrawing skills and the fact I wasn't afraid to stick the chips in when I got short (And outdrawing rounders with AQ sooted versus AQ) I made the FT with a slightly above average stack of 36k (283k in play).

So now I had a chance to make the most of my good fortune and get a healthy cash.

Two crucial hands I'd like your opinion on.

Hand 1.

I've sat patiently for an age (okay like maybe 2 orbits:p ).

Ocallagh is in the BB with 14k. Blinds are 1k/2k. I'm in the CO with KTo. If I raise to 6k ocallagh will know I'm playing for his entire stack. Do you raise as standard here? I have 36k. If he pushes do you follow through and call?

Hand 2.

I lost the above hand and have since moved in on the blinds and also paid some ever increasing blinds.

I have 19k total. Ocallagh has ~26k.

He raises third to speak 7 handed to 8.5k on my BB. (blinds are 1500/3000). I have JJ.

Ocallagh knows I might shove here with a wider range then most and that I'm probably feeling more pot committed then most as I have an emotional attachment to my chips. LOL. I'm barely in the money but I'm playing for the top 2 spots really.

My read.

I don't think he's making a move. Should I push or fold? As we all know he's more than capable of making a move with air but he doesn't see the need to right now and definitely not on my emotionally unstable BB.:) It just feels like he has a "good" hand that he's committed too. So Push or fold ? Push or fold???????

Ollieboy

A really good night lads and the final table was fun to watch, I've to say I cant say sorry enough for the brilliant betting by my Dad, I'm not joking but I thought Niall was going to kill him or me....lol.

It was his first game, so coming 4th was a nice result for him and he was delight with himself on the way home.

Wp to all the lads. Will be back to play this one as the calling stations make it worth while and I like the structure, good stack size for a decent buy-in. I'm not joking, but within the first 10 minutes we had 3 re-buys on my table and 2 players were gone by the 1st break and nearly all the table had re-buy, it was very fast and loose action. Great fun.

ianmc38

Olly:

Hand 1: If you raise then you must call a push. I'd definitely riase with KT from the CO if it's folded to me.

Hand 2: Instacall.
