Any corkies here? (Re: Macau this weekend).

DeVore

I'm coming down to Cork for the big game this weekend (gonna report on it for Antesup.com) and wondered if there were any corkies on the forum? I know Sideshowbob pops in and out but it would be cool to meet up for a pint or whatever.

Anyone heading down from Dublin?

Me and brother going down for 4 days

hey Dev... Im a corkie... but to be fair I have never been inside the macau yet... actually was thinking of heading in tonight to see if I could win a ticket for the weekend tourney....

wouldn't have my hopes up though... don't have much practice in live tournaments.....

Hey Dev. I'm a Corkie. Am going to Cork tonight, to west cork for the next few days. probably be around Cork city at the weekend

I stopped going to the Macau about 2 weeks ago, was on full tilt down there. I was planning on going back soon, though. What's on this weekend?

jimbling

theres a $1000 NL tournament on..... its a special for the opening of the new poker room i think... tonight is the last of the qualifying satellites

Aparrantly all the Cork regulars have already won tickets to the big one so the later satelites may be a little softer. I'm tempted to head down but sense tells me I don't have the live bankroll for this kind of buy in just yet. I'll probably give it a miss and play the smaller events at the Fitz the following week.

hmmm... interesting... I might head in for a look so. I'd like to see what the standard is in there anyway.

I can really only judge my live play from home games. One of our players played in one of the Rochestown Park Hotel VC tournaments and came 5th....so i guess thats a good sign..

I'm in Cork. Won a ticket in a 50 sat on Monday. 3 tables, 50+5 with 2 rebuys +1 add-on (2500 chips starting, 3500 for rebuy/add-on). 3 1k tickets, 2 250 ticketds (and 150 cash for 6th). I sold my 1k ticket already, since I am working all weekend and won't be playing in the tourney. I will pop in for a cash game on a couple nights if I am awake enough after work.

Luckysod is another sometimes boardie/regular Macau player from Cork, but I'm not sure of any others.

See you down there, Devore! I got my seat into it from a $20 rebuy game on Paddy Power on Sunday and will be hoping to maintain my 100% tournament victory record in the Macau

Vamos

I'll probably pay the 250 Friday night, came second on a PPP sattelite to a boards guy, kpnuts I think, so no 1000 game for me. If I see you there Dev, I'll come up and say hello.

Edit: From the post above, yes it was kpnuts, and by the way, fair play, killed me headsup.

I got a message from PPP.com about a "Kenneth Powell" who qualified, I wondered if that was you KP! If you want to share a room again, thats fine by me! How are you getting down?

Antesup.com will be following the fortunes of the players down there for the weekend, provided I can get internet access somwhere!

@ Vamos: Cheers. Was just lucky I had lead going into h2h AND managed to find a couple of nice hands. Scant consolation, I know, but I'll happily buy u a pint in Cork if we meet!

@ Doc: Only person Vamos scared the "bejiggers" out of was you and your 5% of my action

@ Tom: I've sent u a PM. Give me a bell if u like

Doc Farrell

shhhh!
i think you mean ur 95% of my non-action in Cork!
no, i don't know what that means either.....

I'll be there Fri night Tom, not sure about Sat yet. I'll introduce myself to you and any other boardies there. You should have no problem with internet connectivity, they have a computer room upstairs set up for play on IrishEyes.com who are sponsoring the event.

kpnuts

anyone know how many players expected to play main event?

Lplate

Think they're estimating 130-150 odd + 5k added by sponsor, Btw kp, must meet u in person over weekend. Valleyman from Betfair.

kpnuts

aye, c u then Valleyman!
