58o

Hopefully he gets drawn on the feature TV table at the Irish open. Great TV guaranteed

Flushdraw

3 handed in the SE last night. Blinds are 1500/3000. Mystery man goes allin from the SB for 150k. Fergus in the BB calls for 130k. Shorty on the button cant contain his happiness! SB has 88, BB has 1010, inevitable 8 on the turn to send Fergus packing.

Next hand, out mystery man gets it allin with 62 againtt JJ and hits 2 pair to take it down for €1500

Is Fergus the new bad beat Joe?

He's having a tough time of late Lloyd. He's playing the best poker he's played in a long time and goes out of many tournaments when he gets it in ahead, especially with KK. The difference between him and bad beat Joe, is that Fergus doesnt moan about it!

Joe was complaining of another bad beat last night. This is a classic....

Joe has 17k, Dave D has 20k..blinds 400/800 i think

No raise preflop and it comes KJ5 2 diamonds
Dave leads for 2500 and Joe pushed for 17k with Q8d. Dave calls with KJ and it holds up. Joe storms off.."How the f*** can he call with KJ, he has to put me on a set there"

This is unreal...

Fergus is playing really well at the moment - I meant to ask him if he was playing the IO. In his current form he will go deep.

Jeez I played awful last night.. Was funny in spots tho when I was pushing my shortstack in on Bobs big blind. got it in with 1010 V AA and spiked a flush.. You wanna see the look on OllyK when I pushed into Bob after a few limpers. :rolleyes:

I was just trying to see if i could break your statuesque pose BCB and it worked very well I thought!! That TT move was nothing compared with hitting the gutshot straight on the river with 93!

Tony you have the story about the 62 wrong by the way. The shortie had QQ not JJ!!

Between BBJ telling this story and Spiral spewing chips and admonishing the other player for the sin of trying to get paid off in the cash games I may have done myself an injury by trying to contain my laughter!

Spiral donked away over €500 in about 20 mins last night in the SE. Worst hand was against Conor. Conor raised, Spiral reraised and Conor called. Flop is JJ8. Conor pots the flop, turn and pushes the river. Spiral calls on all streets with an 8 a Conor shows KK.

Spiral also told some fella in the tournie that he'd wrap him around the pole and punch the head off him i believe. Bang out of order if this is true

I've never met or spoken to Spiral. I saw him for the first time on Saturday night and the first thought that crossed my mind was fúcktard (i'm an excellent judge of character btw).

I waited as long as I could for this to happen last night but I finally had to head home

I got a nice double through for my full stack with AA on a J65XX board from his KJ but I misplayed a set of kings later when he was tilting badly by not giving him enough rope to hang himself on the turn. My bad.


As for paying off like an atm myself with 47 on a 779 board I'm not one to be preaching!! lol

Gholli - is this a wind up?

Spiral got right narky the other night on the 1/2 Nl table with Sam and Mickste over speech play.

Furthermore he is in the studio at the minute recording a new album and I overheard a conversation he had with the Chief the other night in relation to this album..

Spiral "Chief man Ive put in a deadly line at the end of one of my songs"
Chief "yeah"
Spiral "yeah its deadly "Dont mess with me or youl get Chiefed""

My god, my f'in GOD. I've LOL'd so much from this thread....real tears.

i know Bad beat Joe, I've played Squash against him, he is more of a canary wacker though (badminton player)...LMAO I never knew he was called this.:D

and now this guy SPIRAL, I see from the link he was a big brother contestant ....what does he do? where did he spring from ? surely he is not a serious artist....that must have been for charity....what has happened to us in this country..... what next.....there is a book in that SE (or a play at least..bing! an IDEA.)


I'm off to dry the eyes....LOL

Lazare

What a tosser.

Earlier on the same night BCB is talking about he was sittin beside me in the main PL game, I was in the SB and after a blind raise from UTG, called in three spots, Oberon raised to €50 from the button, leaving €35 behind, I folded and Eminem pushed for about €130 from the BB, folded back to Oberon and he calls. Flop is 3d3hX, Oberon says "Sorry Spiral" and flashes J3o

Spiral then launches into a tirade of abuse, "What sort of a pr*ck plays J3, you're a fcukin eejit, you haven't got a clue how to play poker... blah blah blah..." I told him he was out of line. He went on for a good ten minutes about it. The best was... "What the fcuk are ye talkin about 'commited', commited me bollix" (that one was to me)

Half an hour later Eddie the Eagle called a pot sized bet from him (€120) with a flush draw on the turn and hit. It was a terrible play, but again he lashed out at Eddie for a good ten minutes. He moved to the NL table, and I heard him giving abuse over there too.

Prick in my opinion.

bottom feeder

obviously the dude is losing it, and if he keeps this up he'l say the wrong thing to the wrong person and will earn himself a nasty slap.... that should make the charts....!!!
