Thought Rock actually play pretty good for a complete novice to the game!

Anyone else think Doke had a touch of Tom Hanks in Big about him tonight?

well.... both of them are long distant runners (more forest gump):D

That was the plan. We actually played quite a few small pots of which they showed only one. I was limping my button, something I almost never do headsup, trying to maximise the amount of play post flop, but it got to the stage where even a limp and a cbet was too much of my stack so if I thought I had the best hand pre I had to be happy to get it in.

One hand they cut but Parky and Emmet mentioned in commentary did me some damage. I limped 83s, the board ran out AKQ52 and Rock called me down with ten high!

Once the blinds hit 10/20 and I had 80K left there was no point limping any more. I shipped the AQ, got called by A9, and doubled up. Next hand was the last one. He limped K8o, I thought about a smaller raise or a check with ATs but decided to ship as I knew he'd call with any weaker ace (he just had). At that stage the blinds were just too big for anything fancy.

Frankie Sheehan actually said that at the table. It's a shame they cut most of the table banter out: was a lot of craic.

Yup. In retrospect I felt a key turning point was when Big Mick's K8o sucked out all in against Rock's QQ three handed. At that stage I had 240K and blinds were still 5/10K. With 24 big blinds I think I'd have had a great chance playing small pot poker against someone I felt I could read perfectly after the flop. By the time we did get headsup, I had 10 big blinds, which became 8 after a short while. That made shove or fold the optimal strategy in theory (although as I said before, I felt in practise I was better off keeping pots small as long as I could even if it meant doing awful stuff like limping).

Good fold, Dara, against the Rock's straight.

Cheers. Was pretty easy with just ace high:D

I actually called his hand before he showed but that was edited out. As someone said, Jim played extremely well for a total novice, but like most novices he was incredibly easy to read after the flop. I knew he had the queen in Big Mick's exit, I think Mick knew it too (on the programme, you do hear him saying to me across the table "I probably could have folded there, could I?").

Very good call by Parky in commentary on my thought processes in Mick's exit hand there. Normally 66 is a standard squeeze shove as I know Mick folds enough of his range to make the move profitable, but I was pretty certain Rock was never folding and I'd be racing at best against him.

I missed this. No Bing Blang Blaow?

I managed to fire two off but they were both editted out

One after I won a pot against Big Mick (not shown) and another when I doubled up with the AQ v A9.

Obviously nobody in RTE reads the Poker forum. Super effort all the same though.

Im not sure but did that douche bag presenter say when doke had been eliminated, something along the lines of ' Being an online qualifier, you were the underdog?' before that he mentioned you were a 'professional'?, makes loads of sense!! :rolleyes::rolleyes:. Or was that just the voices in my head again ?:_...

byrner1

Well played Dara you were very unlucky

SpencerJames

I think Doke would of won if he wore one of his usual ties!

Knot too big for him imo!

He's intimidating when he looks like he came from a knackers funeral after having just picked up the award for the smallest knot in a tie.

tm2204

Last hand his call with the K9 was bad, the flop left him with 4 outs, the turn bang he hits the 4 outer, Doke still has bundles of outs & misses everything on the river.

That pot was massive & Doke would have cruised home from there.

Very unlucky Dara. You rightly looked gutted at the end.

While playing or commentating? Was it broadcast at all?

Their was a full page article in today's Sunday Independent entitled "Young bucks make easy money" or something to that effect with a picture beside showing the two of them. It was about how poker is becoming a career choice for some young people. I had a look but can't find it on the website.

right can't figure out how to post the article here, but anyone can sign up for a free 7 day trial of the indo - all you need is an email address, and the article is on page 36.

hotspur

Definitely not worth registering for btw, small piece, appalling written. For example second paragraph sentence didn't even make any sense, being something like "They travel to chilly hangars in Vegas to pick up what is essentially free money."

BigCityBanker

watched back last nights show on rte player - thought it was decent

doke

Very impressive performance by Reesy, reaffirming to see best player (or player who played the best) win. Obviously got a bit of needed luck but that's always necessary, particularly in this format.

Favourite for the outright win I reckon.

comon Noel,
Rory Vs Roy and
The field Vs Master minded

100 bet

1 all - no bet

if Roy does not turn up, anti post rules apply!

alanceltic

went over to citywest tonight as a pal of mine was in the final and I have to say it looked very intreguing from the action i seen. i wont give anything away on the results for those who want to watch it pan out.

godfrey

on all but 3 of the shows the commentary is done in post-production

legal-eagle

Ugggh that castle fella is such a know it all arrogant dcik!
Thought I wouldn't like Andrea Roche but she was quite nice, wish she had of dogged him in the hand he knocked her out.

And him telling her what percentage she was to look clever...arsehole (People like him are the reason I can't play live anymore)

NuckChorris1

V hard luck to Chris Dowling there - can't do much more than that!

j10spades

Chris deserved to go through imo he played really solid.The castle chap was just looking to gamble with a stack raising with junk committing himself then calling it off, some of his plays were questionable calling with 10 4? OOP he really is a pro.Lloyd spanked him heads up.:pac:

Just saying i would find it hard to lose if i had half the chips in the 2nd level, no need to take free shots at people when you can find a spot while they knock each other out.

TripleAce

More girls like the one who played in the last episode and I would certainly play more live poker!!! A big distraction at the table but who cares!!!

Yer man castle was an axxhole imo. Kept saying to DP "I know what I'm doing".
Eh.. no, you don't actually. Anyone who plays STT's knows you don't get involved OOP when the blinds are low with 10 4os. Then call C-bet with bottom pair and get lucky. Then call all in when it's SSSOOOO obvious your beaten.
Pfff. Wally and Chris would spank him in a properly structured game.

cuterob

whoever edits this needs to be fired.. the sound sync is about half a second out .. the start anyhow was hard to tell when they are playing and not saying much
