same weekend of the Ipc John which will affect numbers-- wont be in bud we are all out in the city west , u mite think bout that little fact bud other then that i would have been up with a few .....

Ollieboy

Same here John, IPT in citywest will be the place to be that weekend.

But I'm sure there will be loads of other players looking for a 200 game, as the IPT event that Saturday is a 750 game, with nearly the same structure.

Gl with it and see you at the next one.

Can you pre-register me?

I will drop in the cash at some stage before the 6th.

Thanks and happy Christmas mate,

It's a bad weekend John. Best of luck with it if I don't attend.

Flushdraw

Damn i have to work that weekend. Gonna miss the IPC and the boards monthly...new job sucks!

Wonder how many chips i'd lose in blinds if i didnt get into the SE til 945 on saturday night???

zsoulking

BUMP!

Hi,

I know this will clash with the Poker events tournament at the City West but I have made the decision that I will always try to have this game on the first Saturday of the month.
The poker calendar so busy it is almost impossible not to clash with something every week.
All I can do is keep trying to raise the bar and give the best value tournaments that I can with the resources at my disposal.

Alex and myself are currently working hard (believe it or not) putting together some new ides to improve the card room at the Sporting Emporium.

We will keep you informed of all changes in due course.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone playing at the City West the best of luck and hope to see you all at some point in the New Year.


John.

good work John, yourself and Alex are doing a great job keep it up mate.

carfax

Absolutely cracking job John....Dublin players owe a lot to yourselves and the other casino card rooms.....

See you at the €220.....

I taught the goverment did that already , she told me she was 16 anyhow its ok:D

Goodluck2me

also i would strongly recommend not banning hoodys in the card room and/or tracksuit bottoms. its just not comfortable sitting for hours on end ina suit/jeans.

Lplated

Anyone have any idea what the numbers for this will be like, given the IPC?

5starpool

Your guess is as good as mine.

El Stuntman

with the structure changes, is this guaranteed to finish on the night?

I'd like to play but got a flight to catch the next morning

(definition of optimism: El S even imagining that he might still be involved in the later stages)

5starpool

What structure changes?

since the one and only time I played it (i.e. the 1st time!)

Well Glyn, you might be still there in the final stages. But whether one considers themselves "involved" with 3 BBs or not is a different story...;)

Considering the fact that the field will probably be reduced to 30 - 40 or so due to the IPC I would be certain that this will be played to a conclusion before 5am.

3 BB's? that'd be deepstacked for me!!
30/40 runners only would be a bit poxy, I'll ring them at 6.30 to see how many they have...

best of luck in that little tournament you're playing this w/e (but try to keep the roaring down this time )

JP Poker

Is this still going ahead?

I have to work tonight and tomorrow morning, so won't be playing the ME up in city west (best of luck to everyone by the way). So might give this a shot!

It started at 6.30 the last time, so maybe ring from outside the front door.

It's true. Doors opened at 6, and it started at 6.30. No one was more taken aback than I was to be fair.

Well it is a Dublin club - but it is run by two English lads and a Scottish dude (an appropriate term for John, lol) - so I guess there might be something in that.

It certainly did, and that with 61 runners.

You should quote one of his old posts and edit it to suit your purposes just so you can get the wit off your chest before you forget it.

LuckyLloyd

For Glyn's pleasure:

Helper_Monkey

Is the double chance on tonight in the emporium?????

The Ace Face

Played in this...facilities excellent, structure is one of the best around, 42 runners. 8k starting str..everything good so far!

Early doors got QQ...raised 4bbs..2 callers...flop came 267r....one guy led out 800...one guy folded..I make it 2k...he goes allin instantly..after 5 mins I fold....he told me after break he has AA..down to 5k....

Played ok until 10.30ish then it all kicked off...possibly my sickest 5 mins in all of 2007

Hand 1: Double up with 77 v A10 - up to 8k

Hand 2: Get AA..raise 3 bbs ( 1200 chips )..Dave Masters to me left calls ..and I Think Big Dragon goes all in for c. 3k..I then go all in for my stack..Dave acts a bit then folds his 66...AA v. daves 99

Flop Q1082...guess the river.......J..for a straight...totally sick!!!!!!!

Hand 3: Have c. 4k left, 2 mins later get KK...short stack guy to my right raises to 1200 I r/r to 2.5k...everyone folds..he goes allin for 3.5k....
Cards go over KK v. 1010....Flop..XXXX..guess the river ...go on.....yep a poxy smelly 10..I called it before dealer turned it...

THre my last 600 in with Q7..surprise surpise no luck there either. I enjoyed the game put feck me this is demoralising...since I have came back in Dec after a 6 month break every allin has been like this......What do you do ?:D
