Irish Open Essential Kit

BigCityBanker

So I was thinking - what should be thrown into the bag for the days poker sessions.

Water
Sandwich
Fruit (Flipper reccomends a bannana)
Chocolates
Mints
Chewing Gum
Lucozade
Red Bull
i Pod
Tooth Pick (I recommend this)

any other essential kit?

Jees, you'd swear most of us have never played a 10-12 hour session of poker before.

Well, When I was much younger I thought I had grown my first pubic hair, then I realised I was pis$ing through it.

Does that answer your question?

i find it's helpful to bring one of those mini fridges along to have beside me to keep my drinks cold, and while you are at it a large fan too to keep you cool. you'll need a large card protector because of the fan, a small dog works quite well, a terrier if handy because of their tilting yaps. a portaloo is also a good plan for speedy toilet breaks. you can cut a hole in the door so you don't miss a hand.

on a linked note...any idea if they'll be providing water/soft drinks at the tables?

and is it no alcohol in the poker room for the rest of the weekend too? (not just "good" friday)

Mellor

There may be a waitress service but despite the fact that I would *bathe* in coffee if I could, I wouldnt recommend Redbull or even lots of coffee for long sessions as it has a number of physiological that arent good for 12 hours of concentration. You feel more awake and alert but the reality is that you are less capable of sitting and concentrating for long periods.

I'm still waiting on your retirement post on here.

Essential Kit:

If you're at the Chief's table - a change of underwear and some manner of stabbing implement.

Inflatible pants.

Gholimoli

folks is the main event tomorrow at 4 pm or 6 pm?

patmac

I was told by PPP 4pm (did you not read Lloyds earlier post about the timetable).

5starpool

Officially it is 4pm, but you have to verify registration either this evening, or else tomorrow by 2pm.

What time are the online qualifiers meeting for that brunch beforehand ?
Iv been searching everywhere for my ipod but still cant find it , i could be stuck listening to dave fanning on my phone , that would drive a man to go on tilt for the duration of his show

"..On Day 1 of the Main Event we have reserved the Sussex Restaurant from 12pm-2.30pm for all our qualifiers where there will be a complimentary brunch – more importantly it will be your first official point of contact with the paddypowerpoker team. You will receive your clothing to wear at the event, it will also include your terms and conditions for taking part. Once this has been completed you are free to leave."

Perfect , thanks for that

We are neither climbing everest for the weekend, nor will there be any 16 hour sessions in a desert. There will be waitresses and a bar/restaurant nearby.

As for the Flipper thing, I hope you are not suggesting he is deserving of sympathy, if so I wonder can you enlighten me on the part where he is unlucky or else deserving of sympathy? If he is not looking for sympathy or reassurance about something then why the post in the first place?

I am not against a good moan now and then but a baseless whinge isn't my thing really.

He can reduce or increase variance at a whim. He can hit you in the face with the deck or leave you card diddly dead - all with a regal wave of his hand. Suitable offerings are your time, patience and money. Lots of all. Hair ripped off your head due to frustration will also be accepted.

Do not question his workings, for his reasoning is beyone dthe mathamatical logic of us mere mortal poker players.
