Sounds good Connie, count me in.

Is it definitely on in the Glen Eagle? The place is a hole and the food was muck last year.

Have you ever been to one of Connie's games? I doubt it very much by the comments above 'cause if you had been to one before you'd know he runs a great game.
The venue is what it is and that's fine imo, also lol @ food being a consideration when playing the pokrs.

You are entitled to have an opinion. However, to brand the Gleneagle a "hole" is, in my opinion, ridiculous. In advance of the Irish Poker Festival last year, the management sat down with us and asked what they needed to do to make the customer experience memorable. Out of this meeting came late breakfast, all night bar, all night restaurant service and other "small" comforts to accommodate poker players. They were the first poker venue in the country to do this.
After the festival, the hotel agreed that the food offered at break times was not up to their usual high standards and vowed to solve that problem for next year and they will.
The Gleneagle group is one of the most successful and well known entertainment enterprises in Ireland, which didn't happen by accident. Even in these recessionary times they are full every week.

Back to the Kerry Deepstack.
We have put together a package for poker players that we believe is very attractive. We think that having it in the Gleneagle adds to that attraction. You will be made welcome should you decide to attend.

I've only been to Killarney a couple of times but if i'm not mistaken the Gleneagle is one of the finest hotels in the town?

On that note, any special rates for that weekend since, miracle of miracles, I think i'll have that weekend off!! ?

DeVore

Might not be in the country... but if I am, I'll be pulling out the stops to make this.

I've been to Killarney manys a time to play poker with Connie and the lads and I'm always happy to travel because I'm certain of the quality of the game at the end of the train trip.

Good luck with this Connie, yer a past-master of it now sure!

Hope you can make it Tom. We'll give you the usual Kerry welcome!

What kind of numbers are expected at this, and is the venue such that it's likely to be full etc?

Wanting to travel down to this but all depends on how funds are going so close to the Omaha event in the Macau.

Hi Lee,

We really have no idea as yet of the expected turnout but we have advertised extensively in Kerry and surrounds and would hope for around 100 runners. The room we are using can comfortably take 180 so it's unlikely to fill (be nice to be wrong though!).
Hope to see you there.

I've been waiting for Anne mcCann to get back to me because I normally deal with her on rooms in the glen, but I only found out this evening thats shes on holidays. So I'll get a call in the morning from another sourse, but I dont expect any great deals in the 1st week og August.

I'll let you know later today.

Connie

We will be running s+g sats to Macau ME all day on demand. These will be either 100 for 1 tkt or 200 for 2 tkts, again depending on demand.
We will also be running s+g sats to the Cue Club sat for the same event on Sunday. These will be 30 for 3 tkts.

Sorry about the delay, but the main problem was the hotel was totally booked out and they promised me if any rooms came back they'd give them to me.
If your definately coming down and you need accom for Sat night, I'll sort it this evening for you, but not in the Glen eagle, but very close by.

Connie

jamser58

Connie will you put these names down aswell
Sam Jackson
Pat O Shea




Liam O Dowd,Kevin Murphy & David 'Baker' O Sullivan are all maybes.

Lplate

Due to the numbers of people on holiday at the Gleneagle, they have asked us to change venue. The change will not inconvenience anyone greatly as they have given us use of a beautiful room at the Brehon Hotel, right next door, literally 2-3 minutes walk. Players should come to the Brehon and follow the signs. We will have a staff member on duty at the original venue giving directions for anyone needing them.

Lplate

Expecting 70+ runners for this. Over 30 seats sattellited ( is that a word?) out.
Don't forget the added ticket for the Ladbrokes Festival (like gold).

Laxie

Knocknagree will be there. Looking forward to it

Looking forward to seeing ye all. If anyone wants to ring in ahead, my number is 087-2833343.

Hey, just wondering if anyone knows the details about a hand in the €1/€2 game in which 8-high supposedly won a €400 pot at showdown?

jamser58

lol yeah it was me announcing it to everyone.
I had been playing like 10 hrs at this stage and was on a bender the night before so forgive me if any specifics are wrong but I was at the table.
Early position raise of 12
Aggro Who plays 90% of hands repops to 65 odd in Mid
Fish in late calls
OR folds
Flop 5-9-overcard
Aggro checks
Fish shoves for 120 plus
Aggro tuts and eventually makes the call
Turn queen
River 4

Verbal on the flop suggests both have air.
River,fish says 'you definately have me '
Aggro says 'Muck your cards then' Clever try it was!
Fish says 'No'
Dealer asks them to claim the pot.
Fish shows over 8-7,Eight high,a missed gutshot
Aggro looks to be in pain and mucks.
Fookn gobsmackin!!
He could only have 6-8 for the gutshot with lower cards IMO

My bet sizing must be a small bit off cos there was defo v close to 400 in the pot.
We all acknowledged it.
Are you James McCarthy?

kfcjohn

I don't know who J Mac is but its not my nephew James McCarthy (the bulmers kid) who played the event!!

J_Mac

Tanx 4 d update Jamser. Im Jonathan McCarthy. The Bubble Boy for the Final Table but still made a cash so can't complain . I remember hearing something bout that cash hand alright. Twas funny bcuz every1 at my table suddenly became more interested in that hand then the tournment. Anybody who is handy at mathematics, able to tell me the odds of 8-high winning there in that spot?

Well if Aggro knew the other guy had eight high,Presumably it is mathematically correct to call but I'd like to call on RedJoker to tell us.
