Maybe they are commenting on the luck of Rory calling Olly's brothers All inn without looking at his cards and when Rory tunrs them over its the big slick.

About 24k eh!. A very contemptous re-raise by the sounds of it!.

First Vegas Nights event I have been to and I was very impressed. The set up was great and the tourney was very well run. Nick does the work of about 4 people, and still manages to keep his cool. I'd be snapping peoples heads off left right and centre.

Fair play to Nick for a very decent tourney. It went off without any problems that I could see. Looking forward to the next one already...:)

JJP PokerMania · 24-07-2006 11:21am

Congrats to Darren Meade and Rory who spilt the money both lads played great.

An even bigger congrats to 7/4 off suit, a team of ringers i put together who took home the team event and helped me cover some of my side bets. Just about every1 in the room (expect for nick) had money on me to be knocked out before them.

A big congrats to nick who ran a 120 player tournie on his own, excellent mate. you should defo this more often.

ger, chris and andy i have your share of team money will give it to you tonight in the spawell

ollyk1 · 24-07-2006 11:21am

I think you have the details about right Ntl as I was told them second hand anyway.

The main conclusion to be drawn from this team event is that myself, Dom and Brian are off the team and we're leaving the ringer (finished 9th), my brother (19 or 20th yesterday but at least in the points), Marq (ex-champ) and Ionapaul (was a wee bit tender yesterday but has a track record of performance) on the team and building a new team around those guys.

BigD might get one more chance to redeem himself as he's had a few results in the past...

I'm a ruthless manager and the below par performances by the three of us means transfer listings for us. I mean ffs I couldn't even win with 72 sooted!!!

I was at table at the time it happened. Ollyks brother had been thieving for last round of table as he was talking about doubling up or heading to the fitz. Was folded around to him on button. Blinds 1/2k, he raised to 6k, rory reraised to 20k on blind. Ollyk brother pushed for bout 30k and was called blind. It was sick when Rory turned over his AK.

Am sure i ran into a few boardsies during the day but did not know any of ye so did not say hello. Im guessing that my nemesis all day who eventually knocked me out is a boardsie. Anyone want to own up about who took me out when my pocket fours ran into a big blind holding cowboys.

I'm thinking of holding this event once a month.

Any thoughts???

Sounds great nick, i'll put together a couple of teams if this becomes more regular. If you can avoid the 1st Sunday of each month as i'll have a big game on. 3rd Septmeber and 1st October is gone already.

If you can i think you should up the money, bigger prize pool and better day for yourself.

Once again well done nick.

aodea · 24-07-2006 11:57am

was a great tourni although us students did not perform again although my thinking is we are all so young that in a few years we will own this tourni. like the idea of this being monthly would defo play. at least i won a side game think i played 4 hands but everyone was so crazy they knocked each other out happy days.

wanna say thanks to nick for all the work he put in.

5starpool · 24-07-2006 11:57am

Following on from Olly's post earlier, I would liek to announce my retirement from this game as I seem to be bad for the team. This is an emotional moment, but should ensure that I don't need to get up at midday on a Sunday again for a while.

I think it works well and gets a good number of teams because it aint on so often. If it was held monthly, people would get bored after a while. Every couple of months seems to work well so why change?

roryc · 24-07-2006 12:01pm

Ill play every event you ever run Nick, they are sooo profitable for me

Ive made close to 3K in the 3 tourneys of yours Ive played!

Cheers for the support lads, but as usual, my team let me down and the silverware was out of reach...

As for the hand with Olly's bro...

I had just over 85K and he had 28K. We had been stealing blinds all over the place and the whole table was having a good laugh! Also, he had been going on for ages about needing to make a move and double up, or go to the Fitz. With this in mind, I said to him, "if you raise my BB i'll raise in the dark".

The table had a good laugh, but seeing as I had been hitting cards all night, I reckoned I was probably favourite no matter what he had! Anyway, blinds were 1K/2K, he raised it to 6K and I threw in the first chip I picked up, a white one which happened to be 20K!. He pushed and as it was only another 8K I had to call.

I still dont know what I was at, but it was all a bit of fun

How surprised was I to turn over AK...

Anyway, another 1K in the bank, and my 99% record in Vegasnights games is upheld

Yea....that your mental!!.

Seriously though I heard nothing but good things from those who took part and I'd say you'd get the numbers.

An idea might be to run a league (as well as the team prizes for each event) over a 6/12 months with a prize for the top teams over the period. This would encourage team to enter every time, and guarantee numbers on a regular basis.

JJP PokerMania · 24-07-2006 12:18pm

RORYC

there may be a spot for you with 7/4 off suit for the next game. After my dismal performance yesterday i think i'm going to stick to hand picking the best players for this tournie and not play myself (mind u i thought my push with top 2 pair off the flop was good, but runner, runners for the flush killed me).

So Roryc how about it?

shoutman · 24-07-2006 12:53pm

What tourny is on?

shoutman · 24-07-2006 12:58pm

Twenty euro freezeout, its really just like a home game for the DIT lads as normally3/4 of the runners are from dit.

Decent standard for such a low buy in.

20 freeze-out,havent played it before but if jeff can win it two weeks in a row it must be easy going.

To be fair Graham, i was drunk when i arrived then the hangover kicked in. I only got my 2nd wind when i was playing you in the side tables. I would have defo won our side bet only for Brian dogged me twice.

yeah normally its hard to take this seriosly but really this week will have to be serious as i cannot have jeff making a hatrick as its just unacceptable. although with tag luke myself its prob going to be a student 123 hehe

5starpool · 24-07-2006 2:40pm

Will there be anyone other than students playing? I'd say ye are a dead cert for a 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9...........

come on nick, slum it with the rest of us! 20 euro for a poker lesson from anto. its great fun, you get to listen to him telling you how to play cards then take notes on his play as he walks out the door after 10 hands... its almost worth the 20 alone to see it!

ok jeff its on now beat u heads up the other night now going to have to humilate you again as i cant take the cocky nature.

i reckon the students will as always underperform and jeff a poker lesson from me would be a lot more expensive than 20 euro.

That hand was particularly upsetting. Things were going well up until then. Sigh.

In relation to the Jackpot on Tuesday - if characters of such fine distinction are planning to play I may grace the Event with an appearance. I may even take it seriously! Beats losing €100 in the Merrion i suppose....

Iceman78 · 24-07-2006 3:53pm

If that was you with the royal flush draw that missed lloyd, i am guessing that you are the same fella who ran your queens into my bullets soon afterwards. You were unlucky there as i had just doubled up but had been pushing with any 2 earlier in the game when you were in blinds on my button.

2 unlucky hands as if i remember right, you had top pair and royal flush draw when you lost that big hand.

aodea · 24-07-2006 3:59pm

a poor lyold his run of misery at card tables is certainly lasting a long while. think jeff must of got his luck.

1st lyold
2nd luke
3rd jeff

29th anto

this event had 29runners oops

modmuffin · 24-07-2006 4:05pm

aha iceman,

i was on table 2 with you, i borrowed a couple of your blinds only to give them back when i paid you off when you had KK on the BB.

nice speech play btw, if you hadnt been complaining about me raising your blind for the previous 4 orbits i wouldve folded!
i had a hand everytime...honest!!

UL with the tp & royal flush draw llyod, that was me with the stealth J9 in the BB for the bottom straight.you had a bit of a tough time at our table. nice fold with the JJ though

Iceman78 · 24-07-2006 4:15pm

Mod, was getting really sick of you robbing my blinds and could not believe my luck when i got my KK and you raised again. Was delighted when you called with your AJ. You played well though to get your stack back up with a few nice hands and flops after you had been short stacked for about an hour on that table.

Lloyd was very unlucky but it was a great lay down with his jacks when you had bullets in big blind mod.

aodea · 24-07-2006 4:20pm

lyold laid down jacks thats incrediable for him maybe he is becoming the tight player i always wanted him to be

i think you were just unlucky to be brought to our table in the first place as our table was a very strange one and we had been at it for a while and had figured out where we were at against everyone which you didnt have the time too as the blinds were shooting up

If it means anything to you you carried yourself better at the table than anto did he was just a charity case giving us all his chips for free

it was a pretty good laydown but lloyd said that he had only seen him push once preflop which has only sparked something in me now. I noticed that even though some of us were seeing a lot of flops and playing a lot of pots(no-one in particular of course) any preflop raises were always respected as everyone seemed to have monsters when they raised. I think thetwo most common seen hands were Aces and Kings followed by queens and AK.

I know there were steals late on as people were getting desperate including me but the standard at our table was the highest of all the tables i saw which seemed to cut out all the rubbish you usual see but for me the donkey of the day its close btw is between the KJ offsuite lad who called two all-ins and the young "3k every bet " lad who when someone was critisized on raising with Ace rag he goes

"ye but six handed A rag is a monster"

That's correct mate, I had top pair, while any spade, any 9 and any Ace would have saved my bacon while there were 11 cards in the deck that would have won the hand for me after the flop. Conclusion = I had to call.

As for your hand, I was delighted when you raised 5,500 and I looked down at Queens because you had been pushing alot. Moreover, you had just got pocket Kings about 3/4 hands previous and that was also a factor in my thinking.

Oh well, if nobody ever ran into a hand tourneys like yesterday would take about two days to finish!!:)

That quote from the young lad was a great one. Once i heard that, i was delighted as i knew his chips were there for the taking.

Was just a bit worried though as i kept pushing on his big blind and knew he would call with any ace when i was doing it with any 2 cards if folded around.

The KJ lad always plays like that, cant lay down any 2 picture cards.

I thought standard at table was pretty good from time i was there. Was not many continuation bets though if people missed but most stacks were short at this stage so maybe this was the reason.

LuckyLloyd · 24-07-2006 4:53pm

The "young lad" wasn't great. That much is true.

roryc · 25-07-2006 6:32pm

Just did a full report on my blog... Its a long one

DubTony · 25-07-2006 6:49pm

I don't belieeeeeve it.

The day after the last team event I started a new business and have been working my arse off since. I've played one $5 SnG on Full Tilt in that time and nothing else. Today I decided I'd see what the story was with the next team event and I find this thread.

Sh!te.

Not even a PM from one of my team mates. Jaysus lads. I'm not impressed. I'll go and read it now and see what happened. I just hope that ...... Rory didn't win it again.
