SSF Game on Thursday 20th at 8pm sharp!

DeVore

Guys, for various reasons I am a bit late organising this so I've simply chosen the date and am running with it.

This is designed to be a bit-of-a-laugh event and we will get drunk in Lukes and have fun.

I hope we'll get a good turn out and enjoy an evening of gamboool!!

Please tell everyone you can.

I googled SSF and it said Santa Strike Force, that right? Im sure 90% of Boardsies know this but for relative newcomers like me i'll just put this link up:

I'll most likely play, charity FTW

ionapaul

I played this in 2004 (my very 1st live tournament) and 2005, wasn't in the country last year and won't be in Dublin this year, but I urge all who can attend to do so as you'll be taking part in what was always a great tournament, having a laugh and supporting a worthy cause at the same time! What more can you ask for...?

GutShot@CHLs

My drunken memory of this game last time we played it is Norwich Fan Rob sitting there looking forlorn saying "I've rebought 11 times in 11 hands and I havent won one of them...."!!

Yes, passport, drivers license, garda id etc.

Orion

OK. I'll be ok then - even looking younger than I am I only get away with early 30's

Bear this year?

MrPillowTalk

I will go for the beers and stick some money in for the ssf, will play the tourney if Im motivated enough.

DeVore

I'll bring the bear and see how he feels about playing

DeV.

MrPillowTalk

The problem with playing the tourney is that when you get a bundle of chips together it seems a waste to just chuck them away so you can go on the session.

Are you referring to Mike or the actual bear...?:)

Eoin

Is there a wide range of players going? My only experience is some casual texas hold 'em drunken games with the lads, never been to a proper event or even a casino. I would fully expect to be out pretty quickly, but I don't want to make a complete tit of myself.

Itll be good fun and everybody will be very helpful, even if you get knocked out early have a beer and a bit of banter.

LOL.... I think I'll bring the teddy bear, he plays better then Mike anyway

DeV.

DeVore

yeah, this wont be a heavy serious game, it will be a lot more fun then that
In fact it would be a good game to try if you ARENT a serious player as no one will be watching!

Still a little daunted by the prospect, but may give it a go - especially given the cause. Can I just turn up on my own?

I don't think you should be though. Once you are there for 10 minutes you will be fine. If you can get someone you know to go then all the better, but there is no reason not to turn up on your own. I bet you would be as good as several of the 'regulars' in any dublin casino anyhow the standard can be that bad.

Edit: Also, DeV can't play anyhow. He only brings the bear along to get some hints.

If my memory serves me right it was Ionapaul that knocked him out with 88 vs the bears JTo. How the fcuk can I remember hands like that.

LOL...I think your memory is 100% right.Maybe IonaPaul can talk us through the hand again...?

DeVore

Yup that was the hand. Ionapaul raised, the teddy moved in (via a perfectly timed text from Mike) and Ionapaul made the call (after some ribbing!) and won the race.

See y'all tonight for a bit of craic.

DeV.

Glowingmind

How many rebuys, or is it unlimited?
