Thanks for your support!!

On behalf of myself and Matt(Lplate),I'd like to say thanks to all the boardies who travelled to Killarney last week-end to play in our festival. We finished up with 163 runners in our ME and one of the boardies(Adam Fallon-TheChamp) finished up chopping the main event.

A big thank you to all the dealers who put in a trozan effort over the week-end.

I'd like to give a mention as well to Denis McCarthy and all the staff of the Killarney Avenue hotel who provided a 1st class service for our guests.Nothing seemed to be a problem and I think they showed Killarneys hospitality at its best.

We look forward to organising our next festival and hopefully your return to beautys' home.

It was nice to put a face to some of the names on boards.Look forward to meeting up with you all again soon.

Connie

PS:Mods--If I've posted in the wrong section,apologies in advance.

well done connie and co on a great festival. hotel was great and the beer was going down smooth and easy(too easy for me jay and jimmy kiernan)delighted with my 4 place finish in 200 side event.trust sideshow to catch AA big blind to cripple me.(10 10 me)and then river a 7 to beat my 55.but again congrats to bob for the win and to jay and paul for their good resuts.i think the wife finally realises that she is a poker widow but even she has to agree that if all tourneys are as friendly and good fun as this one it might save me a lot of earache.well done and hope to see you all in waterford for the team event.bringing a few of my buddies down so take it easy on us. jimmy kenny

Great weekend as usual Connie. Not a profitable one but then KK was never going to be good against Sideshow's Qd9d.

super stuff down in Connies kingdom as ever. Well Done to the Cork lads who had a great weekend especially my bro's Skeletor and the Show. Theres no show like a Sideshow.

As a player I think that the 15k starting stack 60 minute clock is the optimum structure. But something I've only seen in Kerry and really like which is a Connie patent is the introduction of the antes at 500/1000 with a repeat level here + the 100 ante. I think structure wise it don't get any better then the weekend. Generally the average stack was over 40 bigblinds and didn't drop below 25 at any stage in the main event.

Hope you got my text Connie. I spent all weekend in bed sick... really sorry I missed this.

Glad it went well.

Hi Tom,
No,I never got the text. I was only saying to Mike that there must be something wrong as you normally dont miss your trip to the Kingdom!!
Anyway, we'll hook up soon I'm sure

No problem Connie I'll stick you down for that in the other thread.

It was a tough call, 8k EPT Dortmund staying in the Hilton for 6 nights OR the club championships in sunny Killarney I'm sure it'll be a fantastic week, Celbridge A FTW!!

killarney has always been a happy hunting ground for me , but it was unusual to build a tank in a tourney and hang onto it to ft and complete the task in hand.

superb structures , i did cross swords with matt about lack of breaks on the second day of 200 but the problem was sorted amicably.

only real gripe was gettin no luck in cash games and being unable to get out of jp's room on friday night. i think the bermuda triangle reloacated for a few hours for no matter how much i wanted to go to bed i just couldn't leave, paid the price in the ME when i donated to pat storan.

thanks again to matt and connie and a special word to the limerick dealing contingent, pip jeff and dave for giving me some dacent ammo.

musician apologies for busting your kings you kinda got caught in the cross fire of a cork vendetta, in my defence i did use the phrase that pays( i know i am behind but i will call anyway ) and consulted the bad beatometer which gave a positive reading and i had the chips so wtf ship it. always good to see kk REQUIRING RUNNER RUNNER on the flop to q9.

nicky de power power has been saying that a result was coming my way so he has got to find someone else now to put the hex on.

bon oeuf toute circulaire:D:D:D

now i definitely wont be in dat magazine for nathin

Glad you put the chips to good use. I'll try to avoid getting embroiled in Cork politics next time.

Great, great, great festival.

Theres only one flop I can think of which leaves KK drawing dead. KK can escape from anything but a straight flush.

Anyway, great weekend - cheers connie, and everyone else involved

Had a very enjoyable weekend. Most of those in attendance would be well used to playing poker festivals, but for me I'd never played as much live poker in 2 days. I got a decent run of cards in the ME and 200 game. I went out with about 45 left in the ME when my AKo couldn't catch up to JJ when all-in pf. In the 200 game when shortstacked my button all-in steal with 24o, apparently the club hand, hit a str8 on the flop against AQo. Was a little disappointed not to cash going out 14th with 9 paid but the craic with the many characters in that game made up for it. I made several bad plays but none hurt me too much. I've often played better and finished worse. All credit to Connie, Matt and all those involved in an extremely well run weekend of poker.

Lauralashes

Excellent weekend from start to finish, first time to Kerry and def will be back. Hotel was great, no problem getting a late drink and everything ran smoothly

As for the poker side of it, Ended up 36th in the ME with my Kings getting beaten by AQ then I jumped straight into the side event which was in its 3rd level at that stage, lasted 40 mins going out on Kings again against Aces.... so all in all had a great day and a half of tournament poker and then ended up getting knocked out of 2 tournaments within 40mins with pocket Kings :rolleyes::rolleyes::D.....Joined the cash game sat night and the banter was excellent with lots of chips flying around the table, really enjoyed it :D

Well done to everyone who cashed and to Connie and co for a brilliant weekend

Nivek

Connie, great event, excellent organisation and great craic as usual,
Many thanks also to mike Lacey for the contribution to the fund giving me 6/4 on a last longer bet much appreciated, and to all the people who tried to knock mike out and let me be,
I am sure he will get me back in drogheda.

look forward to the next one connie

Excellent weekend connie and matt.

Mispalyed trips done me in the ME and got bombed by the bomber in the €200 with him drawing to 3 outs. He must be the biggest luckbox of all time;)
