7pm tournament this Thursday (cool hand lukes)

bohsman

Wednesday or Thursdays at 7pm field capped at 20 runners, either 50FO/DC or 100FO/DC, structure set to finish by midnight. If theres more than 20 runners 2 seperate tournaments could be held. Would you play regularly/sometimes? No point offering the tournament if only 1 or 2 turn up.

Ok, its on. 50+5 Freezeout this Thursday at 7.
5k starting 25 minute blinds, will finish by midnight.

i think early start times are great but would only take if all your tournaments on all days started early. No point only one or two days of the week early and the rest at 9pm. punters cant be expected and wont remember which tourneys start earlier on which days. thats why it needs to be all days early or none. i know this isnt really feasable though. what needs to go through the average punters mind is "Ah theyre the ones who run their tourneys early". this will only happen if all tourneys across the board are early.

personally i would be a regular if regular weekend tournies started at 7pm not so regular to midweek ones although i would go more frequently id say.

bohsman

There is a very obvious reason not to start tournaments earlier than other casinos... A once a week tournament that actually did finish early might work, if that took off we could look at doing it more regularly, if there was interest there we would be willing to start tournaments daily at midday or whatever time.

I would definitely play a 7pm 50 DC on a regular basis, and possibly stretch to a €100 DC. Either day suits.

eoghan104

yeh it would suit me alot better.

DeadParrot

I'd go but not every week
I'm still fighting degeneracy

MadsL

Excellent idea Oscar - it feels familiar, oh yeah, I was supposed to organise something similar back in the midst of time.

I'd be very interested in this as a regular tournie.

I'm starting to thing that you are even less employable than Ste Buckley.

Oscar, I can't play before Christmas as I won't get out of the office before 7pm at the earliest. Hopefully this takes off though - because I would definitely have an interest in the new year when the evil deadline has passed.

bohsman

Well spread the word, unlike other tournaments this only needs 10 players to be a sucess so should be easier to keep going.

ditpoker

bumpidy bumpidy...

so who IS playing the first one of these... i very much am!

ditpoker

and i assume this tourney will count towards tourny league (oscar if you could let me know where i cam currently that'd be great. i was 28th but it hadnt been updated in a while.)

eoghan104

I wont make it this week or next but its a great idea and I will support it where possible in the new year.

hmmm, you do realise i'm not actually IN the club right now, yes?

Tinytony

I won't be able to play this week as I'm off to a gig tonight, but after xmas I'll definitely be a regular for this.

robinblinds

Probably will go to this tonight...do new members need ID and if yes what form?

ditpoker

passport, driving license, garda age card, post-it note with your mum's signature... the usual.

i assume the regular thursday game is on too!? at the moment it looks like this is heads up between me and robin!

murdog!

I should make it to this, that way we could play a knockout style game, i hope i get a by into the final

5starpool

Oscar,

If posting events like this in the future, please use the correct format as it applies to all organisers/event posters, and we seem to have gotten a little lax about it lately.

Cheers.

maximusdecimus

I hope to make it into this also.

Can you try explaining this post?

It doesn't make a lick of sense. Are you trying to have a conversation with someone specific?

RasTa

Might pop down, just finished work. Can I join up with an out of date NUS card. Has my photo on it and I could fly between England n Ireland with it

ditpoker

so given that im currently working the other side of merrion square, do i go home at 5, get fed and watered, and head back in for 7!? or do i fart about in town for two hours!?

Glowingmind

Just play some blackjack to kill the time.

Or if you want to play roulette, i have a guaranteed system that i'll sell you for 299.95.

That's not all mike, i'll also throw in a copy of caro's book of tells - little known fact that this can also be used for reading the dealer in blackjack.

Oh, i'm not finished mike, i'll also throw in a 7" vinyl copy of van mccoy's "The Hustle" that i snapped in half.

damn... if only i was mike... he;s getting a great deal!!

murdog!

I have a roulette system that guarantees a 97.5% payout*, on sale now for £97.50** It really works*** and I have used it to become a millionaire****.


















*Payouts may rise as well as fall
**Price is subject to doubling every few mins
***It doesnt work
****I'm so broke i have to borrow money from my no good brother to play this poker game tonight

murdog!

if you really must know glowingmind, what i meant to say was we could have a semi final type situation, with the other two play eachother and i go directly to the final.

Yours sincerely,

Your no good brother

3.5" copy? Extremely rare.

ditpoker

i'm decreasingly likely to attend this... no indication whatsoever of numbers. not up for a 3 handed game being honest.

Jools Poker

oscar will you stick me in for this- will be tight for me to get there b4 7-could be ten minutes late- will be going directly from work but would love to play this cos 9pm starts mid week are just a killer for me...thanks-Julie

Ah, ye olde catch 22. "I'm not playing if there aren't many there, and because I don't think there will be many there, I won't go".

aodea

ditpoker is and always will be a fool.

i will be in for seven.

RasTa

I'm heading in also.

ditpoker

10 players, pretty sure rasta has to win this. othe rthan being a card rack i think i donated him half my stack when i didnt have the balls to push the flop when i thought and called only to fold the turn. fun little game...

Jools Poker

i went in for this thinking ok nice early tourney (which it was:)) and home nice and early too (which i was:p)...only I managed to play both tourneys there tonight (badly:o)and still be home for half nine:eek: result or what lol

petethebrick

Yeah, it finished up by about half ten. Only ten players though....would be great if few more players got on board. I'll give it a go next week again anyway probably.

RasTa

I blew it of course, played like a manic heads up and it didn't work! Although I did lose to a pretty bad beat after donking off about 15k, no complaints! I was snap calling if you pushed in that hand btw Jeff.

BTW this is a perfect tourney for anyone who works, it finished at 9:45 and started almost on-time. Be good to get at least 3 tables next week and I'd say it would be over b4 12

aodea

enjoyed this one had a good laugh until rasta drew out on me when i got him were i wanted him. still third was profit.

jumped straight into other game where i was chip leader with 8 left then blinds at 500-1000 raise to 3k call sb makes it 9 im bb look down at kings push fold fold small blind calls has AA sigh. after that didnt get a hand i needed. Always in the blinds.

enjoyed first game more. nice to put names to boards faces or some such. plus ditpoker plays a bad bad stt.:)

ditpoker

STT's are complicated. i think its the same reason i'm rubbish at final tables unless everyone's playing tight.

for some (inexplicable) reason people keep calling me these days! go figure!

rasta, i'd a huge draw and paired my queen on the turn, was behind to alot but was thinking if i check pushed the flop you may have folded a weak ace. also, i loved the insta-call with AA "if you have a jack... " LOL

If this got 2-3 tables it'd be great. when i get bored later this afternoon i'll put together a structure that would end by midnight and be reasonably playable...

robinblinds

Has the makings of a cracking little tournament even though my appearance was a fleeting one.

Tinytony

Glad this game got going and should make it next week.

P.S. Ocean Colour Scene rock

YES THEY DO!!!

Tinytony

Judging by how quickly this finished up it looks like I would have made both of them!

ditpoker

i think the early finish time is more a reflection on everyones willingness to play massive pots with 3h2h or if they were really lucky 5hTh, more so than the pressure of blinds or structure.

robinblinds

Heh.

I laid down A10 to AJ on a A97 flop and was still el busto on 200/400 level.

Good craic.
