Softest cashgame ever

Flushdraw

Playing E2/E5 round of each in the Boyne Valley hotel. I sat down with E250 at 9:30 and cashed out E1400 at 12 o clock. Wes F cashed out E1100 for an E800 profit. Little John also cashed out E1000+. Some of the play and the calls were atrocious I’d recommend the game to anyone. Thanks to Green Joker Poker for bringing all these fish together :-))

Smurph also had a go but I got lucky when on a Q72 flop I bet and was reraised all in after a long dwell by Smurph. I called and flipped over QQ and no more help for smurphs KK gave me a nice early double up. I think her other half was a bit more successful because he left at his own accord with a few quid.

As far as the tournie went, I crashed out in 23rd when shortstacked, I ran my AQ into AK trying to steal the blinds for the 4th time. Not too many boardsies that I knew except Gholi, Smurph, Cobster and Rooney_Dives. I’m sure there was more there that I couldn’t put a face to.

Still 7 left when I headed home last night and my money was on Stephen Murphy who impresses me more everytime I play with him. Bad Bob was the unlucky bubbleboy after sucking out at least 3 times for huge pots (like he never!) he finally got his comeuppance!

Did he cash again?

Fair play to him.

Well they paid top 9 so he was ITM but not sure how it finished because Antes Up have no details of the tournie

Sounds like the game for me...

Even with your rock-like image, you'd still be called with 2nd pair in holdem and called by 2 pair on a 3 flush, paired board in omaha!

I believe that the cash games in the local casino are the same, lots of crazy gamblers with lots of money and a couple of lads have said its the place to be on a weekend night

Great touch flushdraw and it was nice to put a face to the name. Yeah, the KK V QQ Hand, I had put you on AQ so the flop just cemented my belief........ it was the first round of each game they had played, and before you came to the table, 3 players had been cleaned out because they did not know how to play omaha i.e., i have a flush waving a single card in their hand. We all made f*ck ups when starting to play omaha.

The game is usually pl holdem only. Jasus it was like a night a the Fitz with big john, Joe O'neill martin and myself. The best is when we came back after the food and proceeded to check down the whole round of Holdem, so when the other guys came back we were starting the round of omaha......It is usually a tougher table, there was alot of northern players missing. Also Niall "the poet" Murphy was doing well in the tournament, and he is some cash player.

I lost €700 first time I played the Holdem, following month won €1,500 so it certainly is a game of swings. there was way more action at our table than the no limit holdem game which is strange.

I've played the 1/2 PL Holdem game there a couple of times, and it is usually a bit tougher but i've always stayed away from the 2/5 game because the cathphrase at the table seemed to be "Pot".

Saw Niall play a hand once, the board came AhQh9x. BB (a regular northern player) checked, Niall bet pot, BB repotted. Niall called turn was xh. BB went all in for about 200 more and Niall called. River was another heart and BB showed AQ and Niall showed 7x 2h for a flush and took a pot of about 700.I've been scared of him ever since!

He was down to the last 7 in the tournie when i was goin and had quite a lot of chips.

Yeah I asked him had he got his ticket for the festival yet, he said he had, but if he won one last night he would sell it to me for €750, which is great. Wonder how he got on.

if this Nial is the old fallow who is extreamly loos aggro then he just bought his ticket yesterday for 750 from some other lad who had two tickets.
i was playing with him yesterday all day as he was on my table and had position on me.
what a draining table that was and eventually lead me to my exit hand which i am honestly ashamed of talking about it .it was quit possibly the worse hand ive ever played since ive learned how to play poker.
ive been trying to convinve my self it was tierdness but honestly there is no excuse for it.
as for Nial and cashgames ive only played with him once and i took something like 350 from him.
you need to have postion on him really other wise he will make it very though for you to play him.
also if he senses that your scared to play big pots he will do his very best to creat big pots for you.
he bluffs alot as well and he calls with bets if he hits the flop at all.
i wouldnt say he is a good player but he is though player to play against.

He is an extremely aggressive cash player who, as you said senses weakness in players very well. Anyway Congrats on your split in Dundalk Gholimoli, great result. My exit hand yesterday was desperate aswell, I had an attack of short stack panic syndrome, where i re-raised a raiser all in with my monster that is K10 offsuit. He had pocket 9's Now I could bullsh*t and go "I was short stacked, blah blah blah, but oh no it gets worse. It was the last hand before the dinner break, I was on the SB and would have had a full orbit to pick up a better hand. To make it worse I didn't think it was too bad a move. Woke up this morning and basically thought gobsh*t........ ah well.

We're in the process of revitalising and altering Antesup too, to become a more daily news oracle for Poker. First we have the best festival in Europe to organise

That makes sense... Just yourself or Mike usually do a commentary in running from antes up and i never thought of looking at GJP!
