*** VN team event, July ***

Congrats Rory, you played well from what i saw of you. I was going grand till we got to 2 tables and then went card dead and went out about 12th.

I felt sorry for the lad you knocked out when you pushed him all in on the blind from your big blind and you turned over AKs. That was sick.

My brother.

He wasn't happy.

Well done Rory, frightening consistency in these events.

First Vegas Nights event I have been to and I was very impressed. The set up was great and the tourney was very well run. Nick does the work of about 4 people, and still manages to keep his cool. I'd be snapping peoples heads off left right and centre.

I was playing for 74 offsuit. My mate split the money with Rory when they were heads up.

Was a great day and enjoyed the game even though i went out close to the bubble.

OllyK, id say your brother was well impressed with Rory getting that lucky on the blind against him.

Thats mad, I was on the JJP 74o team aswell, at one stage there was 3 of us on the same table. Did we win it in the end? I went home, p1ssed off, when I got knocked out.

I was my table leader(T5) at the break and to say I went card dead after the break is an understatement. I couldnt buy decent cards and ended up getting stung by blinds, KO'd 28th while trying to hang on for team points, I pushed with my best hand in 1.5hrs A8o.

Rory my mate was sitting at your table, when you were dealing, for a while and was saying you couldn't miss. So much so that when someone called you you said to him something to the effect of, "be careful Im hitting everything". And yet they still let you deal???? Wp mate congratulations

I think it went something like

ollyk's brother raises, rory who hasn't looked at his cards yet re-raises him, costing ollyk's brother all his chips to call he does.

Rory flips over AKs ollys bro had a3o or something rory wins.

Im guessing ollys brother has a shortish stack and rory not so short?. if so i cant see anything sick about it?.

I think at the time ollys bro had about 24k and rory had 70k not sure what the blinds were at the time 1k/2k possibly

Maybe they are commenting on the luck of Rory calling Olly's brothers All inn without looking at his cards and when Rory tunrs them over its the big slick.

About 24k eh!. A very contemptous re-raise by the sounds of it!.

Fair play to Nick for a very decent tourney. It went off without any problems that I could see. Looking forward to the next one already...:)

Congrats to Darren Meade and Rory who spilt the money both lads played great.

An even bigger congrats to 7/4 off suit, a team of ringers i put together who took home the team event and helped me cover some of my side bets. Just about every1 in the room (expect for nick) had money on me to be knocked out before them.

A big congrats to nick who ran a 120 player tournie on his own, excellent mate. you should defo this more often.

ger, chris and andy i have your share of team money will give it to you tonight in the spawell

ollyk1

I think you have the details about right Ntl as I was told them second hand anyway.

The main conclusion to be drawn from this team event is that myself, Dom and Brian are off the team and we're leaving the ringer (finished 9th), my brother (19 or 20th yesterday but at least in the points), Marq (ex-champ) and Ionapaul (was a wee bit tender yesterday but has a track record of performance) on the team and building a new team around those guys.

BigD might get one more chance to redeem himself as he's had a few results in the past...

I'm a ruthless manager and the below par performances by the three of us means transfer listings for us. I mean ffs I couldn't even win with 72 sooted!!!

I was at table at the time it happened. Ollyks brother had been thieving for last round of table as he was talking about doubling up or heading to the fitz. Was folded around to him on button. Blinds 1/2k, he raised to 6k, rory reraised to 20k on blind. Ollyk brother pushed for bout 30k and was called blind. It was sick when Rory turned over his AK.

Am sure i ran into a few boardsies during the day but did not know any of ye so did not say hello. Im guessing that my nemesis all day who eventually knocked me out is a boardsie. Anyone want to own up about who took me out when my pocket fours ran into a big blind holding cowboys.

I'm thinking of holding this event once a month.

Any thoughts???

Sounds great nick, i'll put together a couple of teams if this becomes more regular. If you can avoid the 1st Sunday of each month as i'll have a big game on. 3rd Septmeber and 1st October is gone already.

If you can i think you should up the money, bigger prize pool and better day for yourself.

Once again well done nick.

aodea

was a great tourni although us students did not perform again although my thinking is we are all so young that in a few years we will own this tourni. like the idea of this being monthly would defo play. at least i won a side game think i played 4 hands but everyone was so crazy they knocked each other out happy days.

wanna say thanks to nick for all the work he put in.

Following on from Olly's post earlier, I would liek to announce my retirement from this game as I seem to be bad for the team. This is an emotional moment, but should ensure that I don't need to get up at midday on a Sunday again for a while.

I think it works well and gets a good number of teams because it aint on so often. If it was held monthly, people would get bored after a while. Every couple of months seems to work well so why change?

roryc

Ill play every event you ever run Nick, they are sooo profitable for me

Ive made close to 3K in the 3 tourneys of yours Ive played!

Cheers for the support lads, but as usual, my team let me down and the silverware was out of reach...

As for the hand with Olly's bro...

I had just over 85K and he had 28K. We had been stealing blinds all over the place and the whole table was having a good laugh! Also, he had been going on for ages about needing to make a move and double up, or go to the Fitz. With this in mind, I said to him, "if you raise my BB i'll raise in the dark".

The table had a good laugh, but seeing as I had been hitting cards all night, I reckoned I was probably favourite no matter what he had! Anyway, blinds were 1K/2K, he raised it to 6K and I threw in the first chip I picked up, a white one which happened to be 20K!. He pushed and as it was only another 8K I had to call.

I still dont know what I was at, but it was all a bit of fun How surprised was I to turn over AK...

Anyway, another 1K in the bank, and my 99% record in Vegasnights games is upheld

Yea....that your mental!!.

Seriously though I heard nothing but good things from those who took part and I'd say you'd get the numbers.

An idea might be to run a league (as well as the team prizes for each event) over a 6/12 months with a prize for the top teams over the period. This would encourage team to enter every time, and guarantee numbers on a regular basis.

dont tar me with the same brush as the rest of you's. iv managed to do ok in all three events so far unlike the rest of the dit chancers.

i gave llyod a harsher beat than you when i was dealing and he didnt connect with his royal flush draw against mick's bottom straight
