Mayfair Last Night

Toddled along to the freeroll in the mayfair last night to see what the place was like. Very nice I must say, nice chips, new tables all thats been mentioned before!
Was only 18 runners or so, nice shorthand games as we had only about 7 on our table i think. Ended up next to ionapaul for the night.
Started off a bit ropey, got outdrawn a couple times, wasn't getting great cards. Finally after a buy in the cards started appearing, i was getting A high flushes left right and centre and found myself in chip lead quite quickly.

7 of us brought to the final table after a couple hours and had a fairly healthy stack, but that certainly didn't last long. Was dealt 88, and flopped a set, and bet fairly strongly, ended up getting beaten with a flush, and that took a fairly big chunk away from me! Played a bit looser than I probably should have after that, chasing flushes and straights, and ended up with a measly 3 x BB (1200.)
I landed the button and it was time for me to sit back and let others fight it out. there were 5 of us left and there were 4 tickets for the monthly €100 game. I didn't have to wait long before the other shortstack went out (who seemingly had a seat for the monthly already) courtesy of Ionapaul (who in the meantime had done his deal with the poker Gods and come right back up

) So my 3rd freeroll and my second ticket! All in all a pretty decent night.

Yeah it was good craic. I think I overheard Alex mention they pulled in €370 in rebuys / topups, so they added a little to the prize pool to bring it up to 4 full tickets. Wednesday should be a laugh - I have a good read on many of the players who have won tickets so far, so hopefully with some decent cards I can get paid

Wonder will they add anything to the prize pool, being their 1st €100 tourney?

was gonna ask what the prize for the €100 tourney is?
Any ideas?? Who else is playing on Wednesday? That other shortstack from the final table is playing too right? He seems to chase hands a little..

I will be there as well. Won two Freeroll tickets there in the last 2 weeks. Should be fun. Some weird gaming going on there at times, but overall nice experience.

They expect around 30 for the wednsday game. Should be a fun game.

Iona, when did you play there, then I can tell you if you might have a read on me.

Cheers,

Divers,

as far as I remember they will add some money, if there are more then 25 runners.

With around 30 people, there should be 4K in the pool, of which the winner gets 45%, IIRC.

100 euro freezeout? Might head down there, the standard isin't great.
Especially if they're adding money....

Have a great record down there. Played once made the money once!

What time does it start?
