    Yes well done on taking this down HJ you rotter!. And well done to pppspecial aswell who made a lot of impressive plays throughout the tournament.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,696 ✭✭✭Hectorjelly


    Thanks a lot kp. Also thanks to all the kind words of support from everyone, it really helped, Karl for believing in me and backing me when I had half the chip avg; despite seeing an atrocious play at the start that left me crippled. And all the guys who set up the tournament. This was the best structured tournament I think ive ever played. Most of all thanks to conor joseph for keeping me alive at the start!

    wp HJ, fantastic final table work for the hands I saw.

    it was when i saw you crippled and work 700 up to 7000 in a couple of rounds that I knew you were running hot!

    Congrats HJ and Dave.. When's the next one :D

    Respect.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,124 ✭✭✭NickyOD


    So disappointed to miss this. Hopefully will be back on my feet next month. WP HJ and NFC with the AK. I remember making an almost identical play to cardshark's in Vienna when the two of us were the table chip leaders and it was closing in on the bubble. He folded AK immediately face up. You look like a twat when you get called but its a great move if you're good enough to read a guy doesn't have QQ-AA. Please tell me someone took some photos of the event (esp. of reggie when he got called)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,013 ✭✭✭kincsem


    Congratulations Daragh,

    Damn. Poker is a game of skill. :confused: I was sorta hoping it was all luck.:o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,832 ✭✭✭careca


    Class will always out. Nice one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,450 ✭✭✭Gholimoli


    WP HJ .great result.keep the trophy warm for me.

    HJ: Chairman of the Boards

    (only took me a day to come up with that...)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,400 ✭✭✭TacT


    congrats, wp


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,070 ✭✭✭Ollieboy


    Great result and wp HJ, I watch you from about 18 players to 8 and I felt you had it in the bag, some great bluff on the Chief and the quad 10's was a great hand.

    That now makes you the Boards Double Champion, Heads Up and Tourney and we may aswell add the cash player award.

    Maybe we should make this into a league over 12 months, 10 points to the winner and 8 for 2nd down to 1 for 9th position for Live Tourney player of the year award.

    meh Im still going to play socially, I just cant back a winner at the moment (evidenced by the fact that I had a bet on you for the boards tourney :p )

    Man I never got going on this at all and at one stage when it was looking good this happens:
    Blinds 150/300
    Rather tight player makes it 900 from MP (he has 4K left) .
    Folded to me on the button and I call with AJ.( I have 10K)
    Shorty on the SB pushes for another 3.5K .
    Original raiser folds and its another 2.5K to me for a pot of nearly 10K.
    I call and SB has KQ.
    Flop A T T
    Turn blank .
    River is a J and I lose.

    Im down to 6K and the very next hand after 3 limpers I make it 2K with AQ on the CO.
    Same player as the hand before pushes and I show and fold my hand.he shows KK.

    Im down to 4K and eventually push with A9 and get called by AQ and that all she wrote.
    I surprisingly didn’t do that much wrong.
    Its ok Eion if you keep backing me I promise I will make you rich one day.
    :D

    er scrolling back to page 1 and looking at the signatures... anyone notice a similarity between pictures of Fatboydim and Phil Hellmuth, or is that intentional? :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,053 ✭✭✭jimbling

    Well done Hector, I'd love to have seen that final table but I had to go to Carlow (and I'm very glad I did!).

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,696 ✭✭✭Hectorjelly


    Thanks everyone, I put a short summary on my blog. I left out one interesting hand that I will probably post about. Unfortunately I think ill be away for the next tournament. Id love to play it but ive already booked flights most of the way around the world.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,434 ✭✭✭cardshark202


    Im disappointed you got out huge hand wrong in your blog. I had Q8 and turned an 8.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,506 ✭✭✭Shortstack

    Easy mistake to make, he was probably distracted by your jaw hitting the table...
