It's quite clear from Rob and champs post that this barker gentlemen needs to be castrated immediately.

I had a run in with this same guy going back to last christmas when he asked for someones hand to be turned over on showdown afte the guy had conceded the pot to him..... he asked for a ruling and was told he could request the hand to be turned over but it was bad ethiqute..... his asnwer was **** ethiqute I paid to see his cards now turn them over..... they were turned over and I made a comment that I though it wasn't in order and he turned on me telling me to mind my own business and keep my nose to myslef in not such savoury language....... I've played with him since without incident...

there is no excuse for ignorance!!

Final table of the 500 game in the Fitz last December. We are playing 7 handed and 6 are getting paid, 1st getting €12,500. Everyone seemed to be in good humour and Mick Frisby who was shortstacked at the time asked could we take 500 off the top for 7th. Most of us were happy to do this as we had been playing for 2 days. Barker says "No, I'm not doing any f***in deals" A few people were surprised by the ignorance shown by this statement. Mick Frisby then joked, " Ah sure c'mon its Christmas".

Barker's response - "**** Christmas"

Yeah i was at that FT, as was Ldog. Being honest, i've never heard anyone bitch so much at a poker table

Goodluck2me · 21-10-2007 8:38pm

I think it would be really constructive if everyone here posted about a time he moaned at your table. no sorry ironic is the word im looking for.
I`ve seen him go from whats described about to being a complete gentleman, bit jekyll and hyde stuff, quite unfortunate.

By the way, Oscar said that swearing was longer allowed at the tables was this enforced or...???

I was at that FT as you'll know.

I'm not going to try and defend something that Liam may have done last night - it certaintly sounds like he was waaay out of order. And he has a reputation for having a somewhat changeable personallity.

However, Liam has always been friendly and cordial towards myself - obviously the fact that we both had big scores in the same tournament in Drogheda would have something to do with that.

So I am kinda surprised at the above stories from Rob and Alex.

What did Gholi do to set him off

During the break he killed a goat but he did it while observing
his constitutionally protected religious beliefs.

8.30 is a pretty bad payout Wes

Must have been a 2 euro Freezeout

bottom feeder · 23-10-2007 5:36am

FMP lol

mdwexford · 23-10-2007 5:40am

Flushdraw · 23-10-2007 8:22am

Nice one Wes. Keeping that good run good. Good stuff

Wreck · 23-10-2007 9:44am

Anything good on this week end in Dublin? i.e large stacks, good structure and a decent buy in?

Jim_Cannon · 23-10-2007 9:59am

Just wondering if anyone could tell me how the standard at the DC tonight (Tuesday) in the Fitz and the €25 rebuy tomorrow compares to the €30 FO on Sundays. Is it significantly or only slightly better? And which one - tonight or tomorrow has the better structure?

Thanks!

Hey Jim,

It's been a while since I played either game but the standard was low in all 3 games as I recall.

I think the Tuesday game gets more runners and has a bigger prize pool. The structures of these games have changed for the better, and then subsequently disimproved again :rolleyes: since I used to play them so I can't make a recommendation based on the structure I'm afraid.

Welcome on board.

The structure for the 55 game in the fitz is in my opinion perfect, it deosnt seems to be great being only 20/25mins levels but it does work to be fair. I`ve only played it a few times though opting to support Lukes 75DC in stead. The standard of structure is much higher and the stadard of play is pretty much the same, The play would generally be a little looser than the 30 game as the people playing it arent poor students.
If you consider your table to me worse than yourself then take your DC chance early and build from it, if not then AWW EIIINN gamble no loose.
And remember either way to run very well.

Ace2007 · 23-10-2007 4:11pm

so where are ppl playin tonight - might be able to head out tonight - so fitz or CHL?

coillcam · 23-10-2007 4:51pm

I'm up in Dublinia for a while doing a training course and probably several interviews as nobody seems to want to employ me:(

Probably head to CHL's the DC scalps tonight, looks good with 30 min clock.......

Anyone else straying in that far????
