Hi Gary the €10 reg is included in the €70 buy in .
There is a 25/50 level , (damn copy and paste) SRY
The clock is 20 mins for 5 levels only and then it goes to 25 mins.
And yes your right it is for a good cause and we are trying to raise as much money as we can for them . That is why im cutting the costs by having it self deal until the final table .

Thanks for your input and i hope i will see you later
Regards... Damo

ChaosFromHaden

Yep, ya get nights like that....no cards at all and then suddenly a pair of snowmen look like bullets. FRUSTRATION!!!!:(

DAMO72

Hi guy's , Just a few words of thank,s from me and Big Richie who organised this game . It was good to see all the regs there and a good few new faces also. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves and congrats to all who cashed .
To Phill : im just glad you were on the right side of the 2nd hand with quad 3's , otherwise i was heading for the underside of the nearest table. Congrats on the cash.
To John :Very unlucky to run into the hands that you did when your hitting nothing . The push with the snowmen seemed strange to me but maybe you will fill me in next time . Thanks for your support.
To Wee Gary :Thanks for coming and i hope it wasn't too much of a crapshoot for you , it couldn't have been too bad seeing as you made the last 18 . Well i suppose that's an improvement for ya :eek:. At least you made up in sandwiches what you lacked in chip's.
To Frankie :Another great performance and it's only a matter of time until you take a good one down. Well done on the 3rd place finnish and well done on the nice cash on the bingo table. LOL @ connor and the illuminus red face.
To Kevin : Thank's for all your hard work all day and i look forward to working with you again .
To Richie (Cheese Burger) McKenna : Tnx M8 for organising the whole day , it's a credit to you for all the time you put into charity work.

And finally congrats to Ciaran on his 2nd place finnish , You probably deserved to win it , you were the most agressive and fearless player on the final table and kept the pressure on the whole time. Well done M8.

Thanks to everyone and i hope to see you all at the next game.
Kind Regards ....Damo

K.....Tobin

Nice post Damo .......
Lookin forward 2 the next game you get going ...

philcassidy

excelent game as usual damo, i like gary was worried it may have turned into a crapshot, but i got 7 and a half hours of poker from my stacks so it proves it was structured just right, well done......
to richie well done mate, great day and a nice earner for a good cause.....
a special mention has to go to ciaran who has turned into a headache on a poker table, his game has come on something seriuos this last while, must be my poker lessons starting to pay off, hope the golf lessons bring me on enough to turn pro:D
and well done to skinny damo(tobin) on a good job as acting TD, good job mate

thank you

K.....Tobin

Gap the only reason you lasted 7an1/2 hours was because some donkey handed you his stack on a plate in the second hand lol:D:D
And then you make a call of the century wit 3:eek:2 and get lucky lol .. I guess your learnin from the best ,,,:DNUGGET:D LOL

i also made two folds of the centurary, which a player of your standards couldnt even imagine, i folded kings on a nine high flop, told the table the guy had aces and he showed them:D

i also folded two pair on a flop only for the same guy to show me top two, funny thing was the guy kept saying "man your playing some poker" then i knock him out with 2 3:eek::D;):eek::eek:

K.....Tobin

Fold kings on a 9 high board have 2 say great fold but i must think you were sittin next 2 this boy an got a peep at his cards lol .. then you put him out with 2 3 thats the phil i no lol:D only messin gap ya played well
