Hi Noel,

I try my best to get these off on time. The game would have started on time last month, but a few of the lads dealing got there dates mixed up and so i had to break 2 tables down and move players over.

Hope to see you there.

Have put in a formal application for visa for this event. Authorities tell me the visa will be granted if I can "sort out the kids". Is there a creche? If not does anyone want to take a 4 and 2 year old to the pantomine on Sunday? Smurph?? Anyone????:D

Ah ya know yourself, on the river and ya make a call for your stack with 4 overcards.
Standard stuff, nothin to be discussed:D

JP Poker

Firstly I would like to thank everyone for playing yesterday and congratulate the lads that cashed.

When we were down to the final 10 players everyone agreed to take €100 from both 1st and 2nd so the bubble would get €200. There was also a deal done between 1st and 2nd at the end of the night.

1st Murtagh Ward €3150 (Originally €3500)
2nd Nigel Clancy €2150
3rd Conor Bergin €1000
4th Mark Kenny €700
5th Darren Mc Ginn €600
6th Mick Frisby €500
7th Richard De Barra €425
8th Stephen Farrell €350
9th Daryll Notaro €300
10th Kevin Mc Carville €200

I would like to thank all staff who conducted themselves perfectly in what became a very difficult situation in the supporting tournament. A player who didn’t play the ME became very abusive to other players, staff and myself.

An incident arose after clock was called on the player, looking back now I should have removed him from the game at this point as we had to stop the game to try calm him down. I decided not to as it appeared that Sean Fagan (a true gentleman of the game, thank you) had managed to calm the player down and as he was short stacked; I wrongly guessed that he would be knocked out of the game without any further incident.

This was not to be the case and the player continued to use bad language at the table. I warned the table as a whole that I would not tolerate the use of bad language (even if it was in jest) and that time penalties would be issued if it continued. A few minutes later the player was at it again and so I issued him with a 10 min penalty and warned him that when he returned to the table if he continued he would be issued with a 20 min penalty and if it happened again he would be removed from the game.

Some time later he went to call someone on the table a name but didn’t finish the word. So I addressed the table as a whole again and told them that if anyone was to even half say a foul word that they would receive a time penalty. With this he called me a F***ing P**** stood up and head butted me.

Needless to say the incident that followed was not a pleasant experience for everyone that was in the room at the time. Not myself nor anyone else that was there raised their hand to this person but several (including myself) did try to restrain him as he went off the rails.

As a result the Garda were called. I was asked if wanted to press charges against the player, which I didn’t.

I can’t apologize enough to everyone that was there, I am embarrassed that this happened at one of my games. Not just is this bad for myself I think this incident is bad for Irish poker in general. In an ideal world I would run tournaments with no bar from here on out. But this is not practical, as hotels make most of their revenue from having a bar. With a closed bar the hotel would charge alot more for room hire(i.e reg would go through the roof).

UL Noel.

After the break (10k) I got myself back into it with a few steals and a few decent hands.

I'm sitting on 37k, blinds 1k/2k with 100 ante x 8. Player in MP limps, I flat call with KhJd in LP and BB checks his option.

Flop Jh7h3h - so I have top pair with Kh - decent flop for me.

BB leads for 3k.
MP calls 3k.

Pot is now 14k. Worth stealing in my opinion.
I push to take the pot whilst also thinking I'm ahead. I'm sure neither opponent have made the flush on the flop and the Kh gives me scope to improve if I need to.

BB folds. MP dwells for an age. Its 33k more to him which leaves him with about 10k behind.

He calls with Ah10x and hits the 5h on the river and at the end of it says sorry mate that was a terrible call.:D

Out in 15th. Lesson learnt.

Gonna play Fitz EOM game on Thursday and maybe one more before the IO.

LuckyLloyd

Holy Jaysus JP!! That's shocking behaviour!!

BigCityBanker

jesus JP that sounds like it got right ugly - you ran a propper good show yesterday and you dont need that sort of crap.

On a side note. That dealer bird Sam, as a result of cracking my JJ with 99, has fallen out of my "top ten women working in the dublin poker industry that id like to have it off with" list. A sad day for her! She will forever lament dealing with a rigged deck!

pokerscene

Hi JP, cannot begin to tell you sorry i am to read that post, In any of your events you run a very fair game and you are always a pleasure to deal with. a perfect gentleman IMO. I think this player should not only be barred from your games but from playing poker in Dublin, This behavior must not and cannot be tolerated in any card room, Casino, Pub or hotel. We only had a discussion about this last week and if their is anything i can do please let me know.

Tony.

Sentiments echoed here. While I had a cr&p tourney, it was very professionally run and I could not for the life of me think that a player could possibly be justified in behaving that way knowing the manner you would have dealt with the tricky situation.

See you at the next event (subject to creche facilities etc)

Solksjaer

my gawd, that's shocking that the guy actually head butted you.

Fair play that you didn't lose it. It's a tough situation really. I've seen this type of thing at other tournaments also where the boys who can't handle the booze lose it. It's only a matter of time before someone somewhere in this country gets seriously hurt. Some drunk/abusive player will rub up some other supressed looney into teaching him a serious lesson. It sounds like you did your best to stem this. I think though in situations like this when a person is getting noticably aggressive and you have warned him. It's up to the establishment to eject the guy not the TD. You are there to organise and rule. Hotel security should handle the drunks. My advice next time is A) Give your normal warning If he persists, get security to speak to him.
You should not be in the firing line. What if some turd had a knife?

Bandara

JP

I'm really sorry you had to experience that yesterday, sadly its something that you have to expect at some stage when you are dealing with the public.

I run a convienence store and have been punched (by women), threatened with serious violence (knives etc) all completely without provocation and in instances where I was doing my job. Like yourself I'm not in any way an agressive or 'bolshy' person.

Don't let it dishearten you or get you down. For every 10,000 who have a great experience at your events there will always be one nasty/dangerous incident. Speaking from experience I know it can shock you quite badly and you get a big fright after the incidient happens but as we're males we have to just take it all quietly.

Chin up, no need at all to apologise for anything that happened, I'm already looking forward to your next tourney.

Phil.
