Bored in work - planning my poker weekend...

ollyk1

Right so people there are a lot of good options available this weekend and I reckon I'll manage to fit 1 or 2 into my oh so busy schedule. What's your order of preference and why?

Friday - revamped and renewed Fitz Scalps with a €110 max spend
Saturday - SE €200 + €20 deepstacked game
Sunday - Big Slick Carlow €200 + €20 deepstacked game
Monday - JP Bank Holiday game at the Red Cow €250 buyin (including €30 reg)

I'm sure there are plenty of other games on this weekend but the above are the ones I'm thinking of playing at the minute based on ease of access to location and the buyin. I want to play at least one decent tournie to really get my head right for the Waterford game (and possibly GJP if I run goot).....

Any thoughts on the above or are you all going to spend the weekend perving on the scantily clad ladies at the beaches and parks ?? (a very good alternative plan....)

If you've cash left. Go to Jps game for the 250. A solid palyer should do well there.

For me, disaster with the pass card in town last night. ATM swallowed the thing. Luckily I've a few bob at home but that is strictly reserved for Bank holiday boozing etc. So maybe the ATM savagery saved me some money as I was going to play one or two of these. Good luck to all in yer respective tournys.

I can't afford to play poker at the moment due to footie related spendings.

However, I shall be palying the scalps, and probably a cash game afterwards, and quite likely the SE monthly game also. Just cause I can't afford stuff, doesn't mean I can't play. Also, how else am I to win the money back that my stuff cost?

I may also play various cash games and stuff, but probably not the other games you list above, unless I run really well in previous endeavours. Then I might consider it, esp the JP game.

Olly, you need to do some level 3 thinking here. Why not do both?;)

(bit suprised at your lack of metagame thinking here tbh)

In summary Dom you are going to play until the money runs out and stick to Dublin then!!

Well I work in town and I've been frequenting Stephen's Green with the shades on all week during my lunch break!! I was just thinking of those who haven't had the same opportunities!! :cool:

By the way the best bit of level 3 thinking has to be Flushdraw giving Kate a lovely kiss on the hand before hitting the Final Table last night (and her saying it was as good as a €500 tip). You don't think he hit that King on the river by accident do you?!?;)

LMAO!!!

That is a great example of level 3 thinking. The only hole in your otherwise brilliant hypothesis is that it was Derek who dealt the hand!!! :eek:

unless you are know something truly disturbing that I don't?

(and if you don't - make it up anyway, time's going slowly here)

Well not to cast aspersions on the young man's sexuality but maybe he heard what was being handed out to other dealers and wanted in on the action!!

:eek:


P.S. From memory Kate was being rewarded for having got Flushdraw out of a somewhat tricky spot when in his own words he played the following hand

"This guy raises from utg and he hasn't played a hand in ages, so I obviously repump him with KJo. Turns out he had KK and we got it all-in. Not to worry I went and took a 4 flush to his ass!! lol"

Don't try that with Lilly in the Fitz, as depending on her mood, you might find yourself wearing black eyeliner and blue shadow I'm not 100% sure what eyeliner is and I do know you have to be careful with these things.. A girl I know was crying one time and I told her to get a hanky as her eye shadow was running. She roared, IT'S FK'IN MASCARA NOT EYE SHADOW. This over reaction made me unrepentant in making her cry in the 1st place. I digress

Wanna loan ? You won't get out of it that easy. I am now on the official money lenders register and I only charge 20% Compound Per Week...:D (plus 50% if you take one down)

Friday..........

Leave Work @ 5.15, arrive home at 5.20, go to bed until c.10pm, arise, shower and make way to SE for c.11pm - gut some fish....

Saturday......

Arise c.noon, watch racing whilst bemoaning Teofilios absence from 2000g, play PLO for the afternoon on FT. 6pm - SE for deepstack, 10.30 - relay donkey play to other fish at cash table, assure them I am not steaming and lose my first 200 within an orbit of the table. Reload for another 200, tell myself that i need to slow down and pick my spots, Down to €50 2 hands later when I three barrell an €8 pot after 4 players limp prflop. I will then tell myself that the juice wasnt worth the squeeze and play some proper pokah.

Sunday............

to be confirmed - Indian Ink ends up winning the 1000g and I play drunk pokah at 3am "for the craic"

Thanks for the offer Mr Bagpiper but I really couldn't borrow from anyone to play poker. (the only bankroll rule I have) If herself is tuned into American Idol tonight, I'll open drawer A and head into the scalps game. If as I suspect I'm being dragged to spiderman 3, then poker is off for the week. She mocked me for having my pass card swallowed. What can ya do the begger beside the ATM was practically at me drainpipes... Jaysus, also he was better dressed than me. Oooh sorry I digress again....

Thanks again. Your rates are fair but the thoughts of defaulting on this and being deafened by LOUD BAGPIPES at 4 in the morning unless I pay up with interest is too scray a thought.

maybe I ask luke if I can play the SE. maybe I work and sleep.

I'll do anything to add that extra edge to my game! It was actually a BOTB (battle of the blinds) where i completed with KJ, he raised and i pushed and hit my flush. And Kate is DEFO not Derek!!

As good as JPs game will be on Monday, you are guranteed an early morning finish and being in work Tuesday, i'll have to give it a miss. SE deepstack on saturday is a definite and i'll be there and no doubt you aswel. I'm going to save Sunday for a few drinks.

Still havent decided on tonight yet but no tournies, maybe a bit of cash in the SE later

Initially my money card was 8h - after a serious rush i then changed to Jh and hit a rush with that also. Shane was on the worst run of prop bet variance ever witnessed at a card table. On one of the rare occasions he flopped his 7 I also flopped two 8's to knock the wind from his sail...
