    Usual suspects playing this?

    Id really like to see all the sportin regulars give this a go one week( mickste, jbravado, ianmc, halfbaked, flushdraw, 58o and Buchan) or just some of the more accomplished boardsies as you cant imagine how hard it is to win plus it could make for a great sit n go when you all bust first level

    i shouldnt... i will... but i shouldnt....

    anyone wanna mix it up a bit? myself and goodluck2me did this before...

    €20 in, you must fold the best hand preflop incorrectly. ie. 5 players all put 20 bills in, so a 100 prize pool, if you fold QQ preflop to JT you're probably in good shape! :p hard to fold AA preflop and make it seem legitimate, but KK preflop would be impressive! Anyone on for this? maybe just 10 quid a head?

    this has the added bonus of if you fold KK preflop to AA, everyone thinks you;re AMAZING at cards... and imagine how the table would react if you just muttered "he has a tell" under your breath...

    Umm might head in will have to tape the Sopranos...

    Anyone know if the SE is 50+5 DC or 100+10 DC tonight?

    I'm going to start playing this and a couple more games in the jackpot and fitz regularly when i come back from my month off. I think playing 90% of my poker in the SE contributed greatly to my game going downhill.

    and who's up for a 20 euro Omaha STT at 10.30 when we're all out. pot limit, i'll deal...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 909 ✭✭✭AKQJ10


    cheapest tourney of the week always results in me doing my brains. usually go out first level (-23) then go over to look for the quick fix on the wheel while waiting for a SNG(-73) then come back and dont cash in the SNG due to trying to outplay someone who knows i call bluff every 2nd hand(-100) then to a cash game as this surely is where i can win start winning. nope prob end up rrai with a draw of somesort and miss(-400) then go for the one big spin on the wheel which if it works gets me out (-600) figure ive almost two buy ins left i may aswell give cash another go.

    Result- a long taxi home thinking i should never play on a thursday. I'll be there tonight though :mad:

    i was fourth the chinese guy third and mellor was second, he had a 3-1 chip lead heads up against conor(the other conor) and then ran 10's into ace high and it went down hill from there.

    i played cash after and was up 900 and then went broke in two omaha hands where im still not sure how i lost.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 909 ✭✭✭AKQJ10


    ive been told this alot in the last couple of weeks. i still disagree

    conor bloomfield or conor doyle, i would have thought conor doyle went out in the first three hands

    no he said he was trying to get practice for tourneys and took it serious enough and was chip leader on the final table but then preceded to get called down all the time every time he raised by mellor and it ended up with flopped two pair against a higher two pair i think and ended up going out in fifth, im not sure exactly about the position


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 909 ✭✭✭AKQJ10


    funniest thing i've ever witnessed playin cash was when he was locked playing a HE cash game waiting for the omaha game. he was buyin in pretty much every hand for 100 and just potting every street. the player to his left got a sick run of cards and within one round had got his 50 quid up to 500+. then this guy eoin delaney comes in who recently cashed in the irish open 1k event for 40k. he comes over askin who has the big stack at the table has he wants to buy in to cover. i say its 500ish. conor doyle then chirps up wen he see's that this guy thinks he's the god's gift to poker and asks delaney how much he has on him. delaney says he has 2k more. he starts calling conor doyle an idiot and asks conor how much he has on him. conor says i dunno around 100k. delaney starts tellin him to stop taking the piss and f*** off. the look of pure fear when this drunk maniac just takes out around 3k in blacks and asks him to flip for it :D
