Well he was chip leader when i was leaving. He told one player who he just knocked out in a big pot to "mind the trams on your way out". Obnoxious person when he gets going.

Oscar, only kidding. Just the way you deal the river with a flair!.

Doc Farrell

so here you go folks!

some pictures, some quite good actually! I'm delighted i took them now just for posterity.

Cuban Son, can I leave these in your capable hands? please feel free to do with them what you wish.

Yeah 35o or something v AQ. I believe there was some verbal history between them earlier.

Hopefully last night was the start of many good nights.

Like many others (I suppose) the very first Live game of poker i played was in the Merrion Square building. I was incredibly nervous about trying live poker and the atmosphere was very welcoming so I have an affection for the place ever since.

The first time I ever played a live cash game was soon after in he Fitz and Like was was very friendly there. had my initial experiences of live poker not been so pleasant I would not have ventured back.

I was very surprised last night when Luke recognized me and came over, he could not have seem more than a glimpse of me infrequently and certainly not once in the last 18 months. At the worst its great business savvy or genuine friendliness both which bode well. In fact i wasn't going to play tonite but I will go in for the tourney.

It was also to see Bohsman and Cuban Son doing some work for a change;)

And special Kudos to the Elegant attire of BigCityBanker

Agree 100%. Luke took my name at registration and remembered it throughout the night. Very impressed with him, he would be a great asset for any business.

There wasn't that much history. All I did was ask him to be quiet while I was involved in a hand and he wasn't. He took the hump and bitched and moaned about it for hours and hours. We had a few ding dong battles but no real verbals, especially not on my part. So then with 3 tables left he makes it 12K I move in for 40K with AQs and he calls with 36o. 3 on river.
:rolleyes:

I did really enjoy the tournament though. Looking forward to many more great nights there.

lol he kept on it for ages after you went too. called clock on me after about 30 seconds when willow raised me and he was already out of the hand but like you did yourself you just have to smile along and try to stack him with the best of it.

NickyOD

It's a good thing they ran out of wine. I'd had 7 glasses by this picture

I think that's yer man Paddy, regular on the local scene. Had he a fairly strong Dublin accent? Get's tilty easily enough, hence his strange call, I'd imagine.

ollyk1

Anyone know if Eamon Connolly made the FT??

Great night last night. I started well but ran cold for about the last 3 hours. I dread to think what time this finished last night btw...

Paddy O'Neill - obnoxious arsehole.

Yeah thats him i know him from the S.E. He can be funny to listen to at times even just to liven up a quiet table but he's quite ignorant overall and when he drinks forgetaboutit. Its funny to watch him lose a pot, see him take the beat calmly for about 8 seconds before you can visibally see him washed over by a wave of tilt!.

Well in fairness Lloyd you were late and Reggie was an uncharacterictic 45 minutes early!! :eek:

You seemed very tilty last night Lloyd for some reason. Life tilt perhaps??

Ah, I was out till very late the previous night boozing and had had a long day at work. I was just really tired more than anything else.

Thought I played ok all the same - just got no help whatsoever from the deck. One hand I'm unsure about was when I laid down TPTK to 30Something after he check raised me very small and put me to a decision for my stack. I folded leaving myself 12 BBs. Meh.

Some of the play at my table really had to be seen before it could be believed. *Shrugs.

Ive got to rat out Doc Farrell here. We heard you before we saw you Lloyd. You were belly laugh chortling very very loudly. I heard Doc Farrell react with "Jesus Christ!".

bohsman

Paddys a good guy, hopefully he was involved in a deal with Dom, Willow and Mark, Eamonn made the final table, came 9th I think.

Surely personal abuse isnt allowed? I know if you went on the football forum and said that about anyone involved in football itd be a ban.

BigCityBanker

^^ is it classified as personal abuse? i was offering it forward as my opinion of him. further to say ive not seen much good in him.

you may be pretty but there's no way you're as pretty as me, i mean have you seen me lately?! God, i'm gorgeous! Gorgeous!

so who did win wha?

p.s. paddy's one of the good guys, he might be having a few things going on right now.

cardshark202

I certainly have no problem with Paddy apart from him calling me 'dotsy' every time he saw me in the fitz.
