Mike does this mean that you are providing an overlay?

I will most likely be playing - depends on numbers. However as one of the few players in this tournament with a 100% Final table record I am not sure that it is an overlay

I also have a 100% FT record. Played 7 and never made it that far

The dinner I had there the last time I went was the nicest dinner I had all year. . I wont make it this time however.

White Knight

You not thinking of trying to make it?!

ditpoker

is oscar dealing/playing this!? i might play it if he is! what % is given out as tickets!?

smurph

With 2 weeks to go to the festival how are the numbers looking Mike? I think that Boardsies should try and promote this event. It is exceptionally good value for money. I know there is alot of festivals in May so I hope the numbers in this don't suffer.

Anyway see you on Sunday Mike. hopefully i'll last longer this month, im having a disaster at the moment in Drogheeeda tournaments... Hope the Joe Show is promoting this aswell, as his grand opener for his new club.

nicnicnic

few of us heading up for this sunday

semibluff

you say you always make the final table mike, but not necessarily the cash - would i be right?

if BCB goes we'l have enough overlay, think ill contribute to the prizepool too

ozpoker

What time does this start? 2:00? How about directions? Is it right off the motorway?

Thanks!

LuckyLloyd

I am possibly in.

Take the exit signposted 'Drogheda South' before you get to toll plaza. It is on your right coming into Drogheda, if you get to the Balck Bull pub you have gone too far.

OPR was 7th for €300.

I played for a level and a half, flush draw hit against me

califano

Myself, Flushdraw, Paddy Tobin, nicnicnic all out early so we played rather loose in a cash game as a change up to our very tight tournament game that went wrong you see.

semibluff

played one hand terribly bad -

Limped UTG with AQoff - had been raising alot from this position and didnt fancy gettin re-raised OOP with ths hand. got raised to 1k by guy with bout 12k (i had 20K)
Back to me, i re-raised to 3.5k, expected to take it down. Got hesitant call. Planned to bet any flop and take it down - but flop came Q high (Q95)- thank god, so now what?? Convinced im miles ahead i planned on betting it out until his speech play led me to think if i check he'l bet (ARRRRRGH) so i do, he checks, turn a J
I think enough of this fancy $hit, and bet the majority of his stack, he re raises all in - i ask did he hit his J - yeh! he's got JJ. What a donkey play!

Later on, ship it on the button into only the blinds with Q8soooooted, for 10*bb, get called by 66, flop an 8 , turn spade river spade, he has 6of spades - end of!

enjoyed it though!

Flushdraw

Just back from this. Smurph got 5th. Niall the crazy poet took it down. Didnt last too long myself. Lost a few K early on when i had to lay down QQ on a 9752 board against smurph.

Had 8.5k when blinds were 75/150. Raised to 450 with Q2. Flop was Qxx all clubs. I bet, BB raises and i push. He calls with AcKx and hits clubs. Put him on a draw but didnt think it was that strong.

Cash game was pretty tasty. Was in for €300 and cashed out €1600 so i paid for my GJP festival ticket. Decent day overall

Your becoming a bit of a shark on the cash tables mate, wp

Really miss this event as its great value and good day, but love my Sunday night online. Wp Smurph.

Really enjoyed this. I don't really play many live tournaments. Such a good structure and really well ran tournament.

Well done to Nial he was great fun to have at the table and had some good battles with him.
He layed down a hand against me when i was sure he was pot commited to calling. Even if he didn't feel he was i had shown a few big bluffs during the day and i thought that would sway him to calling.
I raised with 33 to 1100 and only Nial called on the button. Flop came Ks3s2d. I bet out 2500 he called turn was a 2c and i bet out 3500 and he called river was a Js and i bet out 6. I think he had about 11 left at the time and after an age he folded saying later he had AK.

Disgusted with my exit hand. Don't think i have ever made a worse call in my life. Down to the last 7 and we have agreed that 7th will get thier money back.

Blinds 1000/2000 2 limpers one on the button , i complete the small blind with 7c8c. I have about 34,000 at the start of the hand.

Flop comes 7,8,J and i bet out 4000 , BB folds , First limper flat calls and guy on the button goes all in and i in a complete rush of blood to the head don't even think for a second and INSTA calls :eek:

He had J,8 and that was all she wrote.

Nice to meet a few of the Davids.
