In the Well - BigCityBanker

BigCityBanker

it would make for better reading that sombody looking to steak 12 ppl into a freeroll. Id be guessing that Hali is out of the equation so can we pop somebody down?

maybe KP Nuts or somebody similar?

YULETIRED

OK BCB, you are down the well. Will we use this one or create another?

My questions:

1. Have you ever been called belligerent?
2. If there are 5000 players in the country, where do you rate yourself in that?
3. Do you think LL is a better player than you
4. How is the job at PPP going? any nice chicks in the office?
5. What are your poker ambitions?
6. Where there any learnings from this years IO at your post mortem...YOu do have post mortems?
7. Who is the most overrated player you know
8. Say something controversial about boards
9 what do you really think of ipoker in comparison to other skins
10. Is there another half?
11
They say male pattern baldness is a sign of virility , would you like to have your flowing ginger locks back and be less virile ?

eh, this isnt sposed to be how it happens.

i hadnt really intended that id be in the well. but seeing as how its started il run with it. Im mad busy today and Im flying to Madrid in the morning for 2 days so my answers until Sunday are likely to be scarce (apart from a few hours in the hotel lobby tomorrow morning).

kinda looking forward to it now - fire away with questions.

You are now one of the best known and loved players on the circuit in Irish Poker (after Lloyd of course) - have you any advice that you can give "Pub Players" on how to achieve such heights?

smurph

Why don't you like people from Fermanagh.....

How much money have you lost to Liam Flood playing kalooki....

How do you rate Mickste's poker Stare...

Will you be going back to vegas this year

do you think you can have your "cake" and eat it.

The irish open questions

What did you think if it this year, from an insiders point of view.

Did Paddy power buy you the suit....

Was there anybody in particular you would have loved to deck over the weekend.

You came across very well the telly, was the clipboard your own.

Did you suffer from Post "Irish Open" blues...

Seriously though, well done in the Irish Open, you never seemed too stressed and Mr. Baker as MC went down a treat..

thanks so much for doing this

This should be fun...
I'll edit in some proper questions later

Your thoughts on QQ facing a 3bet?

connie147

Hi Noel, I wish you well in your well.

1) Where to now for Irish poker (live scene)
2) Irish Open next year? Bigger and better? Buy-in? Location?
3) Your improvement as a poker player, any defininitive reason? ie reading boards, talking hands over with friends, trial and error?
4)Cash or tourney?
5) Ideal festival game (buy-in + structure)
6) Favourite Irish poker players?
7) Players you dont like at your table
8) Irish prospects as WSOP? Are you going?

That'll do for now. I'll probably be back with more

Ever decided to give up poker/gambling?

Favourite/least dealer?

I think this will be a good well but if it was not censored by the fact that your employer reads it and people tend to use your comments against you and paddy power in later threads it would be a great well.

1. About 9 months ago I thought you were in a sweet spot of playing well and managing your bankroll pretty well. Do you still think you are in that spot or have you ratcheted up the variance under the guise of playing for the job or just chasing the buzz of playing much bigger cash games and tournies?

2. You spend an awful lot of time working on your game (a lot more then people give you credit for). Do you think you will still have the hunger to be reading and studying the game in a years time?

3. Given the choice of going successfully pro online and earning €150k tax-free a year or working in a decent paying finance job (lets say €100k a year gross but with good promotional bonus prospects but no room for anything other than very occasional poker playing) which would you choose and why?

4. Recommend an album I should listen to.

5. Favorite meal and place to visit.

I'll have more later.....

As for nominating yourself for a well :rolleyes::rolleyes: Typical. I guess we have to expect the Biffos to be getting even more full of themselves now that they have the office of Taoiseach. :D

Willie your obv to blame for this, i was trying to throw KP down the well and along you came and pushed me down when i had my back turned.

YULETIRED wrote: »

1. Have you ever been called belligerent?

Dictionary says 2: inclined to or exhibiting assertiveness, hostility, or combativeness

alwaqys assertive, i dont consider myself hostile, but i do fight my corner. yes regularly been called a beligerent little fcker.

YULETIRED wrote: »

2. If there are 5000 players in the country, where do you rate yourself in that?

this is a difficult Q to answer without more defined parameters. top 750 somewhere.

YULETIRED wrote: »

3. Do you think LL is a better player than you

He is clearly a better tourney player and his results show that but id have off him for sport in a live cash game over any meaningful sample of hours.

YULETIRED wrote: »

4. How is the job at PPP going? any nice chicks in the office?

job is going grand im really enjoying it and find it a good challenge. its a big change from the bank and ive spent alot of my time learning new things. yeah there are some hotties here but not any disproportionate amount.

YULETIRED wrote: »

5. What are your poker ambitions?

I really want to get better, I spend alot of time thinking about my game and picking holes in what I do. Sometimes I play a session and im smiling from ear to ear with delight knowing that ive done my best. Other times I finish and kick myself for running a stupid non credible bluff or for firing the 3rd barrell against a station. I think my better sessions come from making a more conscious effort to get a grip of the players at my table from early doors and picking up on how I can exploit them, something i dont always do, esp if Im playing tired.

As far as ambitions go, I want to improve my omaha game. I want to get a touch in a major tournament and by that I mean something like the GUKPT or similar. Obv throw in a cash in the wsop or similar. I would also like to play one of those televised 6 handed shootout games like the poker million or whatever.

Im not sure if my motivation for wanting to play one of these is ego on my part or if its because I want to play against the guys ive seen on TV for the past number of years or if its cos i just want to see myself on TV.

YULETIRED wrote: »

6. Where there any learnings from this years IO at your post mortem...YOu do have post mortems?

yes we have postmortems and yes we learn from them. I think its safe to say that the buyin for next year will be reduced to that of 2007 (3,500)

YULETIRED wrote: »

7. Who is the most overrated player you know

lol, i might tell you personally some time

YULETIRED wrote: »

8. Say something controversial about boards

something controversial about boards. i dont like the way boards has evolved over my time here. also, where has fuzzbox gone?

YULETIRED wrote: »

9 what do you really think of ipoker in comparison to other skins

When you compare it to Stars/Tilt/Party its clear that something is lacking. I know the roadmap for development will have it where it needs to be at some point in time but id worry that this dev is taking too long. The latest release includes a betting slider which is a step in the right direction. Things like resizeable tables are all down the line.

YULETIRED wrote: »

10. Is there another half?

not presently, id be too nice of a chap to go inflicting myself upon others.

YULETIRED wrote: »

11.They say male pattern baldness is a sign of virility , would you like to have your flowing ginger locks back and be less virile ?

nah, ive been folicly challenged for some time so im pretty much used to it. Im only 26 and ive been losing the locks for a number of years so its not something i miss or think about, its almost like i never had it to start with. So i guess Il just have to keep the virility.

semibluff

What makes you uncomfortable at the poker table? Another player having position on you? stack sizes etc?

Who is the most overrated live cash game player in Dublin?

Which live player (other than Mick The Lip) has the biggest lack of self awareness as to their limitations as a poker player?

what aspect of your game would you like to improve?


Does anything compare to the gut wrenching feeling of exiting a big tourney like say, the IO this year?

One hand that sticks in your mind under each of the following headings (please choose different hands than those detailed earlier)
- one which you played well/badly and won
- one which you played well/badly and lost
- one which you were at the table, didnt play and another dublin reg won/lost having played well/badly.

If it takes 2 men 3 days to walk backwards into eternity then how long does it take 2 men to shovel light into a dark room?

You are alone on a desert island, you were fkd overboard from a poker cruise by some old codgers who got fed up with your slowrolling accusations. So you are 3 years alone on the island, sporting the merest bumfluffy red hint of a beard, one moonlight night you stroll on the beach whimpering in lonely sadness when suddenly in the distance you see a guy swimming towards you, you grow excited to see a person again, the man staggers onto the beach and collapses .......You rush over to him gasping air and hoping almost fretting that he is okay, so you can at least hear a human voice again you turn him on his back............. it's LUCKY LLOYD. He has swallowed much water and he needs the kiss of life or he will die.

yeah excellent, the avg of of the workforce in here is pretty young so this obv makes it pretty good. in general the company is up for some pretty off the wall stuff, like the strip poker tourney a few years back, so that kind of mentality feeds back into the staff and the ethos of the workforce and all in all in makes it an excellent place to work. The poker team are all great craic also and we work really well together.

Winner or loser in poker this year??

small marginal loser. I havnt been able to play as much as id like in the early months of the year due the pressure of the IO and when I did play I was generally too tired etc. losing sessions never really got to me before cos id normally just go straight back in and grind away at live cash. Like a few weeks back i decided I wanted to win 5k in 8 days of live cash or something, i was winning 3100 after 5 days and cruising then i took a particularly sick night in the SE where getting it in good in 1600 and 2300 pots in succession was no help to me. (these are still v big pots by the SE std). Then i tilted the following night and was down to winning just 700 over that period of time, the following night I went and was second in the tourney. This used not to be my my normal habit, win, lose, tilt, tourney to settle. It used to be win, lose, fck it, grind back again to normality. I havnt had the time to get into that groove as much lately.

ocallagh wrote: »

Biggest win on the horses??

Spiralbound in Thurles a few years back, he was owned by my old man and my uncle.

War Of Attrition in the Gold Cup, i backed him in dribs and drabs all year long from 33/1 down to 7/1. I remember having an G+T with conor o'dwyer in the pavillion in Punchestown after he had won the swordlestown as a novice and I told conor that he would win a gold cup. Conor wasnt as enthusiastic as I was. His sectional time from the 2nd last to the line was amazing for a horse by presenting that looked to be crying out for 3miles+. Add to that the fact that most ppl thought that Watson lake stopped in front that day and ppl played down WOA's ability cos of this. He was doing things over 2miles that suggested he had to be an amazing horse once he stepped up in trip.

ocallagh wrote: »

Probably a horse I sold named Shanahan in newton abbot over the summer.

If you could swap your PLO skills with halibut, and nobody would ever know - would you do it?

Im pretty sure Hali would notice as his win rate would drop to near 0. but yeah srsly, hali is obv one of the top PLO players around. Id settle for just 25% of his ability as I reckon that would be enough to make me a very solid winning player. I dont think I could ever be as good as him but then I dont think many ppl could ever be as good as him. So yes, swap ability and not be able to tell anyone would be great. I suppose when i win the 10k plo at the wsop people would start to take notice.

When he was in the well he took offence to some questions I asked. I wasnt trying to be a prick but it obviously came across like that. At that time he was using the UNluckyLloyd name and I just felt it was a bit rich of somebody who had recently had a massive score to be moaning about running bad. The questions I asked were ones which were suppsoed to help him realise that he had his fair share of luck and that perhaps now it was just levelling a little bit. I found it funny that Marq pretty much reitterated my points later in the thread but as he put a sweeter slant on it there didnt seem to be any problem with it.

Hi

nice well so far.

I'm far from an expert when it comes to bookies/prices etc. I was wondering what is your opinion of the prices offered by bookmakers on poker tournaments. i.e. It seems to me that some of the prices on boardsies and name pros are ridic given the nature of poker tournaments (luck required) and the large fields.

Also, have the poker tournamet markets been successful for PP or are they purely a novelty to try and get more traffic through the sportsbook?

These are legit questions btw. I'm not trying to have a go.

thanks

Good well so far BCB

1. what did you do with your IO score last year? re-invest in pokah?

2. just how much did Neil Channing take off PPP through betting on himself in the IO? i've heard varying reports, including 1k on himself to cash at 28-1, and a sizeable bet on himself to win from the final table at 11-8.

3. do you have any thoughts on developing the spectical of the io/poker in general. This basically comes from a comment from neil channing at the IO tv table along the lines of "at the end of the day poker is like a sport that the tv has to find a way to work around the players playing the game, as opposed to the current situation of players playing the game around the needs of tv" i.e. less hands/players at tv table. Is there an argument of not screening the IO highlights the same evening, rather delaying it by a few months and increase production quality. for example,the espn/wsop highlights can go to an outer table and if the hand goes to showdown they dont need under table camaras or anything, they can just record the data and add graphics informing the viewer of hole cards later on which is obviously more production work than is allowed for in the current format, but might make for better viewing a few months later, and more repeats/syndication of the programme and ultimately a better marketing tool for ppp? (that question kinda went on a bit... apologies)

4. have you/will you be playing any hilarious office prank on ionapaul? may i suggest... http://borkweb.com/story/office-prank-post-it-notes

If you were handed 3 free €100 bets today what 3 bets would you do?

Name 5 Irish players you have respect for and why?

Who, in your opinion, is the best player in the world today?

Is Phil Ivey worth a punt to make the WSOP final table at 100/1 on PP?

How bad a result was Neil Channing winning the IO for the bookies? And similarly Chub winning best boardsie and top young gun and then Pascal in the Omaha?

You have been doing a lot of travelling lately. The Norwegian Champs last week and Madrid this week. Do you enjoy this or would you rather just ramble down the SE on a Saturday?

Do you prefer Hold'em or Omaha? Which are you better at?

The IO TV table`s a pain in the ass. The glass makes it hard to pick up your cards and if you hold them just above it there can be a reflection. Imo the tv table should be as similar to a normal table as possible. ie the wsop tables like you said. Anyway im sure Paddy power have thought of this and this is what they think works best.

Anyway Noelly

1. Running a dirty bluff or making a hero call ? Fav of each?

2. IO winner or equivalent prize money in WSOP ME, ie bout 7th.

2. Ever get bored with poker? It's a pretty pointless activity at the end of the day - discuss.

3. Galway. Details please. You know what I'm talkin' about.

4. Ideal table of Sporting Aquarium regulars?

5. BIFFO. How do you see things going for your fellow Offalyman?

6. Tilt. How easily do you get tilted these days?

7. "I'm the most misunderstood player in Dublin." "I'm playing my usual super-tight game."
Two apparently tongue-in-cheek comments which you make a lot - I believe both actually have a good basis in truth. Care to expand on these?

8. Vietnamese or Thai? Important question, think carefully before answering.

Good luck in the well.

2. just how much did Neil Channing take off PPP through betting on himself in the IO? i've heard varying reports, including 1k on himself to cash at 28-1, and a sizeable bet on himself to win from the final table at 11-8.

Channing said he had £500 on himself at 100/1 to win and several other bets on different players.. john kabbaj and sorel mizzi among some.. he placed the bets on the third day of the tourney i think.. he also won a last longest bet with different players from the Vic i think it was..it was a big pool

That word always annoys me. I won't say any more. Lloyd might give out again, cos everyone knows he's reading this thread with a fine toothcomb.


Questions


1) I've played with you live a couple of times, but it was very brief. You seemed to play back at me in paticular a lot. Was this intentional and why?

2) How hard is it to work in poker and not get to play 24/7????

3) From the brief times I've had you at my table, or when I was watching the 2/5 game, you've had quite a spewy image. You seem to have reinforced that through numerous HHs. Is this a conscious effort?

hmm, i had heard that with himself and john kabbaj still in he bought himself out of that bet as john kabbaj had a huge chip stack at the time.
