Most definitely! And I'm bringing some folks from work for a first taste of casino gambling action. Should be fun.

What with my recent rock tight play?? Highly unlikely. I don't voluntary play a hand these days until at least level 4!!!! :eek: :eek:

Listen last night I easily outlasted that total fish Andy Black (in the Fitz €50 Dc game lol!!) so i'm sure i can manage to beat you and a few peeps from work right!

No its not dead, I just think the SE game will be better for beginners as the SE game is more established. The overlay kicked in in Silks a fortnight ago but I didn't take advantage

Its a matter of taste really. I go where HB and Ian are because thats where the real dead money is!!

"Fun boy Burke" I think it could work Paul!!

hey ian can u see what the story is 2 nite in relation to a trophy in the se for sats boards game.

ianmc38

Will do Dave.

I am probably going in so more dead money. Went to this tourney once before but did not "play". Hoping to actually find out what the scalps chips are all about tonight..

glenmc

Silks €100 + €10 double chance freezeout is still guaranteed a minimum €2500 tonight. Only 20 runners last week with a 30 min clock and 8000 total chips.

I was a no show last night due to one of the group forgetting to bring ID and the SE not being very flexible on the subject so we took our business to the Fitz for some hot rebuy action.

Unfortunately AK didn't stand up against KQ and I was the first of the group out!!:o Won one pot in the round of each and covered my costs for the night. Oh well :rolleyes:

How did the SE go??

LuckyLloyd

Out in 8th after a relatively impressive comeback from 3,600 chips at the Break. I bet with the nuts and they call me. I try and push them off a hand...and they still call me. Bah!!

However in terms of good news leading up to this Saturday, I managed to get my worst possible poker out of me before the break - played like an absolute donkey maniac. Twas scary stuff. Bet, raise, re - raise, all - in - of course I'm behind. LAG just doesn't suit me....:rolleyes:

Yeah tight passive is much more your game Lloyd.

For a change, I slowplayed a set and payed off the player when the danger card hit. Then, my J3 suited somehow failed to stand up against the big blinds pocket aces. TBH I had absolutely no interest in the tourney anyway.

Cash table was much better. I'd raised the blind raise 4 out of 5 times with utter shít, 3 times times going to showdown. Next orbit I'm getting ready to do it again and I see 2 aces. Raise it up and a guy who'd been commenting on me doing it then pushes for another 80 or so. Unfortunately it was the wrong time for him to do it with T3o. LOL.

Washout

bubbled in 6th. with top 5 being paid

i was a total rock last night. with absolutely no cards.

pushed my last 14K with 88 and got called by A9 by the raiser who had it.

nice to meet you last night Llyod

Ya know, there is nothing I like about this post. Not one thing. Why is it the fish have all the luck at the cashtables...?

I'd forgotten what it was like to win when going in as an 80-20 favourite preflop!

Did Mr. Gibraltar 2006 clean up again last night? Hope so. Main table was like an ATM machine.

HalfBaked

Tourney…baaahhh.

Arrived an hour late and knackered. Proceeded to sit there through a brutal run of cards and to compound the situation there were a ridiculous amount of calling stations at both tables I played on. Absolute sweetness when your getting cards / hitting flops, but I managed neither. Never had any chip to play with and was a folding machine for most of the night. Only pots I took down were bluffs.

Went out in 13/14th. Exit hand was me on button, few limpers and I push with Q-10, sb wakes up with AQ.

*when your three best hands of the night are AQ, A8o and A5s you know it’s gonna be one of those nights.:(

I used this game as a pipe opener for saturday. It was just a routine piece of work on the gallops. I went out when my 1010 against AK all in pf was runner runnered by a flush.

That was pretty harsh; those 4 to a flush runner runners are particularly annoying. Why don't those smiting gods just give them the A or K:mad:

Thats exactly what i was thinking. btw do you believe that guy with moustache a couple of hands previously when he said he'd QQ on that ace high flop hand?. He's a maniac if he ch/raised with QQ. I was convinced my ace was no good and he called pf with A10 or AJ or called with Ace rag and flopped 2 pair.

Scarily enough I do! Eamon is a nice guy, but does have a tendency to pull such maniac moves. I genuinely believe he didn't think you had the ace. Crazy stuff alright.

ianmc38

If it was Eamonn and he said he had QQ he was telling the truth.

HalfBaked

Harsh, but the look of disbelief on your face was priceless when he confidently said pockets queens. You actually looked dumbstruck (unsurprisingly).

1 hand destroy me last night, 4 limpers (1 guy who was about to muck then decided to call). I look down at KK in the BB and make it 5 BBs to go. Fold, Fold, Fold then guy who was gonna muck goes all in..WTF. I call and he show A10 o/s. Monster hand that deservse to murder the KK when the A lands on the turn.
Final hand I call for the rest of my chips with PK 44 on a 2 8 10 board. He turns over KJ (good call says Ian and Lloyd) not yet I say and put on my jacket as the J hits the turn. Thanks for the Donkey call comment Ian that eased the pain... :mad: Least it was not the river I was cursing last night.


2nd time to play this and still to get a single pink chip..

The interesting thing about this hand is the swagger with which yer man went all in on ya - confidently turning over what he figured was a monster (A - 10o ) just like the big Sea - Bass that he so obviously was. He even had the audacity to say "well done" to you after he had spiked his A to win the hand. Idiot.
