And FWIW - hard luck Padraig. Sounds like you made some really great laydowns, etc while you were still in.

Probably misread his hand:)

Scott is a class act, one of the few poker players you can have a beer with and not have to endure the bad beat stories. Top man.

Was it the guy from Godsmack? I saw he was still going ok.

Padraig06

godsmack sounds right.half the room would have thrown a tantrum.scott said the camera guys were really pissed off.to be fair the irish team in general were a credit to themselves.the wSOP wouldnt be the same without them.the rest of the teams were pretty ****ing grim,

oooops

LOL much Kudos to him for that. It's when I see guys controling themselves like that I realise the gap to the top...we can read all the books we like but self control is something you just have to learn.....and a lot us us will never attain it.......I've had many many bad beats from baaad players but my main issue with them is my lack of ability to dismiss them immediately. I'm working on this but any tips from the top would be welcome......I've tried humour but the punchline gets stuck in my throat as I feel the sickness creeping up my neck and the tiltmonster gets ready to spew out diatribe at the donkeys .
Feel like a goon afterwards also.
Once again Kudos...

Btw. The ESPN guys at the WSOP sound like a shower of gobshtes from what I've heard

I don't see any reason to ever throw a tantrum, save for if someone has done something unethical or frowned upon, i.e slowrolling.

Same here, a beats just a beat, after enough of them you become immune. They're hard to take, especially a runner runner like this one, but if he let it get to him he'd be gone in 10 hands. Fair play though, he is a class act, imagine Hellmouth or any of those US knobs taking that beat... :rolleyes:

EDIT: I hope I don't look like a tard now, and he wasn't knocked out with this hand, but still my point remains the same, no need to cry, and showed the class of the man to take it so well....

I played with Scott seated directly to my left once, he is indeed a very very sound, entertaining man.

One of my tips to control my bad beats is when I think I'm about to lecture mr 72 offsuit, I just think of the ad in the supermarket when the mother reacts to the kids squealing by diving on the floor and doing a similar tantrum.... (brill ad btw) I just imagine the dealer is itching to do similar him/herself, the inner grin calms me....then I leave and kill a small animal, usually a rodent.

AFAIK, he flopped a set of jacks again shortly afterwards, and doubled back up to where he was before the RR beat. At least I hope I'm right on that.

I bet the ESPN knobs didn't even realise that Scott finished 4th a few years back. He is indeed a class act. He was on my left at a game last year for about eight hours (MPT was there as well), and he was totally card dead for seven of those, but didn't let it worry him at all. When he finally started picking up some hands, he was knocked out when his AA was outdrawn, but again no tantrums. I think he was a good footballer with some of the legendary Castleblayney Faughs teams as well, so it would be nice to see him going well in the ME, and Monaghan hammering Tyrone on Sunday!

And I'm still embarrassed after my part in the thread last year where a few of us tried to give him a lecture on the state of Irish poker...

Thinly veiled brag?

Doc Farrell

You're a class act yourself Parky. I hope all the kids with a few notches on their Irish belts on this site will support your brilliant charity game in October.

although you cost me 20 bucks you nearly made me 1500 so i owe you a decent cigar.

best of luck to you and Scott with near future events.
