Any other Boardsies playing in this tournament. Excellent structure and what better way to waste away a bank holiday Monday. It's certainly a really well run tournament with JP always willing to change the clock during games.

Hi 58o,

We currently don't run cash tables, it is something that i have been considering and may do in the future. However we will have 1 Table SnG's and we may also run what has been the normal €120 Monday night game at 8pm for players who are knocked out of the €250 freezeout.

Alcohol is serviced at the Game.

Hope to see you tomorrow.

Marq

would this usually get many runners?
is the "estimated 20k" a fair estimation?

AKQJ10

yeah i think so. the games usually get a minimum of 70 reaching 100 some times. from talking to people during the week i think it will get numbers for 20k

pppspecial

there is a good few heading to this today. my guess would be25k prizepool from what im hearing yesterday and 2 day.. good game for sure.

I don't know if they will be willing to make it 2 days....

I fúcking hope not. If it's two days I can't play it, what with exams and all.
Your alarm clock went off paul? see you out there?

awake now, might just get up and head in to this

Just back from this, I absolutely donked myself out of it in the first level by completely overplaying the bullets when my hand was face up.

EP raises to 200, MP calls , adrian(baker1) calls on the button, I reraise to 750. Original raiser folds, MP calls, and baker 1 calls on the button ( wasnt happy about this as my hand is fairly obvious here)

Flop K 10 8. |I lead out for 1500 , mp folds, adrian makes it 4000. The first thing that goes through my head is that he's got 2 pair here i can fold and still have 7000 chips, seconds later all my chips are in the middle anyway!:eek: He calls with 8 10 and the suckout i dont deserve doesnt arrive. Awful play by me with such deepstacks and oop with my hand face up.

Think this had about 70 runners.

I thinks my biggest mistake in relation to this tourney was getting a decent nights sleep beforehand.:rolleyes: I always do much better in these deepstacks when i've done a big 12 hour degenerosession the night before. 2 players on my table were well prepared in this regard. This morning after the Jackpot kicked everyone out at 8am they were involved in hiring one of the dealers for a 3 hour home game followed by pints!

Mellor

I think your being over cricital of the hand, you know that he had no business being in that hand any any point. And if you could of seen his hand you wanted him in it.
He didn't out play you, he get lucky.

I'd raise more than 750 here Shane. I think you know that you should have folded the flop but brainfarts happen!

am actually surprised i passed on the hired dealer home game. double vodka and red bull = -ev for poker

Any updates?

one one = (lol, donkaments!)





I won this tournament in the end, just got home.

With 2 tables remaining I shoved AK, the big blind called with KQ. No chance, Queen on the flop.

I was left with one 1k chip, the blinds were at 1k-2k.

Ensue Ninja Poker for comeback!

lol, donkaments! :D:p

Cheers Eoghan!



He was out of the JP tournament fairly early I think.

I'm think he was playing some online 25k guaranteed then?

I think I heard that he came 4th in that. (don't quote me though).


I got €4750 for 1st.

yep 4th in that for 3400 and a little touch from the 2nd place finisher mickmckeever who jp and i had a good share in. gowaaan the mick. well played rigger.

Marq

this was a great tournament with professional dealers, a good structure, and a nice venue.

But when I've paid €35 registration and been promised "dinner", I expect dinner. Cocktail sausages and a few chicken legs just don't cut it. I would play this again if "dinner" resembled a cooked meal in any way.

My luckbox was turned off for the whole tourney. It was ridonkulous.

Congrats to the rigger who made a great comeback from the chip and chair scene. I was impressed by your play and aggression at the final 2 tables. I was disapointed with my own play at the FT but cant say much after the way i started the tournament.

I also have to apologise for all the blind allin nonsense at the start of the tournament when i knocked out Martin and jbravado. Quiet the comedown today after 40 poker filled sleepless nights.

Also as marq said i was very impressed with the tournie in general. A very enjoyable day. Now if only there was some wheel action...

But a FT appearance obviously shows the innate abillity of professional roulette players to adapt to different games.

Well done to Paul on a tasty score. And Dave for a good finish also.

dacman

Dacman hows the trip going, itching for a game i bet. lol

Trip is going great wes cheers. In thialand at the moment. Eventually got a hotel with a decent internet connection so at least i can get a game in online. Sorry to be missing all these good tourneys though.

How did the night finish in the end. any good stories from the collosus?

Small profit for the day! Spinning no good. Sikcest run ever. Sammy would cover half the wheel and it would land on the number right before our half started else it would land in between the 2 we'd lumped money onto. Lol.

I abandoned him -200. He went onto -7 and was trying to get me back in at 6this morning.

Hi Marq,

I can only apologize about the dinner. I have always had dinners at these events. There were a number of complaints at last week's game about the dinner and players requested that I order platters of sandwiches, ect, instead as the dinner was that bad.

I had brought this matter to the hotels attention on both Thursday and Friday and requested that the players be allowed to have their choice of a carvery dinner across the way in the Red Cow Inn. I was not given an alternative choice and so I was left with my only option which was to order the platters.


I will be speaking to the hotel again about the dinner situation before we are back there on the 3rd June to arrange something different.

I hope this is some way explains the situation.

Marq

to be honest I don't mind if dinner is not provided, what annoyed me was that dinner was advertised, and when it came to dinner time, myself and Paul ended up going into the bar and ordering food, which puts added costs on to the day.
It's a small complaint in an otherwise excellent tourney. I hope to see you on the third for the next deepstacked donkament.
