Boards.ie Heads up Semi finals

jd

Hi all
Semi finals are
cod vs devore
Davey devil vs rag2gar

We will need to discuss venues...
jd

jd

Any thoughts?
We could do em live??
I could bribe tricky d to be the dealer

DeVore

I'd love to do this live. The fitz can accomodate drink on the balcony so we might be able to mix this with the start of a Poker Board pub night?

So, CoD... the reigning champ, going for the repeat eh?

Hmm.... predictions for the final..... oooh, it has to be Davey Devil in the lower bracket, no offence to Rag2gar but DD has to get just within touching distance of the title and then get horribly and sickly done in some freak runner-runner beat. Pok'ar demands it. Facing him.... do I dare jinx myself...?
No, I'm going to plead the fifth on this one. CoD has impressed me before with his game and its all to play for. I suddenly want to win this badly and I'm sure he wants to stamp his authority on this Championship with back to back wins the two times it has run.
In a spirit of friendship (and so I can poison him the night before), Mathew if you need a place to kip in Dublin there's a very comfy bed in my place you can sleep on.

Make it so the final is at the Poker forum booze up in October.

Original thread was Here!.
More of an interest check really, no dates specified as yet. May as well bump it too.

CoD

cheers Tom, I probably would need someones floor or something to sleep/be sick on lol.

any idea on dates for this??

DeVore

I cant make the weekend of the 21st of October, I simply wont be in the country.... most other dates are fine by me!
Mathew, np, I'll reserve the couch for you.

DeV.

jd

Lads , how about we proceed with the semi finals, and we can then see if it is possible to do the final at a boarks poker beer up. Thoughts?

jd

CoD

yeh im fine with that jd

Lafortezza

Just the final headsup game at the beers would probably be best.
Playing 3 games that night would eat into valuable drinking time.

Davey Devil

I'm happy to play whenever.

DeVore

I'd rather play the three games together. If the beers are on the 21st we can simply do it another night (it might not be the best night for it anyway as they will be long enough games).

We could simply congregate in the Fitz with some beers there (upstairs on the balcony).

I'm easy , JD has done a terrific job with this so I dont want to stop him now.

DeV.

jd

ok
Lets keep it separate from the beers and have it either saturday 14th or 28th, in the Fitz.
Any problems with that?

Can the 4 involved state if availablity for these dates.
jd

DeVore

Dublin ept is the 28th.

14th or the 7th is fine for me.

DeV.

jd

ok
How about the 14th??
jd

rag2gar

14th okay for me

DeVore

14th is Connie's team event that I told Gholi I'd play in (and I'd like to). If its the only date it can be played, then I'll make my apologies to Gholi.

Sorry JD, if I can be any more awkward let me know
7th is fine and I've made sure of that now. (sorry!)

DeV.

jd

ok
how are the 4 of ye for the7th!!??!!

Lafortezza

Does it have to be played live? Why not just play the semis online when it suits the 2 people involved?

j

maybe....
a dealer and a shuffler would be even better

\r

DeVore

Damn, sorry JD I didnt read your problem with the 7th up above. What about I'll talk to Mike about doing the EPT on the 28th alone for that night and we'll hold it then as originally planned if he can. He still owes me like, a billion favours for Vegas this year

DeV.

jd

ok
Don't worry about me



Can the 4 of ye say aye or nay to the 7th /28th!!??!!

jd

CoD

aye, both are fine

Davey Devil

I can play almost anyday if it's at 7:30pm or later.

DeVore

7th Preferably No.
28th Yes

msot weekdays I can do too but might be harder for CoD to get down.

DeV.

CoD

yeh after 25th sept. cant do weekdays.

jd

DeVore

There is a whole FESTIVAL in the fitz that weekend, not to mention the EPT in the Regency too..

The booze will be for everyone! (but I'll only be drinking once CoD knocks me out!)

DeV.

Atlas_IRL

His plan is too get you all drunk then win

rag2gar

Hi JD, would prefere the following week but obsiously considering the hard work getting it organised i'll have to make some kind of get out of other things campaign

DeVore

all good to go, looking forward to it, plus the offer of a comfy sofa for CoD still stands if its any use. Provide he loses to me, otherwise he's sleeping on the streets!

DeV.

CoD

alrite, yeh I'll be there, planning on getting down to dublin from belfast, so should be there in the afternoon, then probably see what the fitz is like, hopefully be some cash games or something on the go

The offer on the sofa's great Tom, i'm not sure what the plans are, I'll let you know nearer the time probably !

Davey Devil

I'm there.

CoD

Alrite guys, so this is definately still on? I'll prob be in the fitz from 4:30pm ish if all goes to plan, i'll prob check out the cash games if there are any.

Is a NI drivers licence, ok for ID when registering with fitz?

Cheers
Matt
