Just a reminder folks.

11.30 pm on Network Two tonight sees the start of a six-week run of the Irish Poker Championship from Galway. With commentary from Jesse, presented by Laura Woods and produced (i believe) by Boards very own Karlh.

Ughhhhh I fcking hate Laura Woods.

AdMMM · 10-02-2008 04:31PM

Upon googling her, I don't see what's wrong with her and will be prepared to forgive any shortcomings where poker knowledge is concerned.

Have you not seen The Cafe or any other travesty of a show she's been on?

zuutroy · 10-02-2008 05:54PM

No great shakes in the looks department imo...makeup applied with trowel.

Theresalwaysone · 10-02-2008 06:40PM

Laura Woods... headwrecking. Not even eye candy.

Should be a good show tho. Im back in college so new drinking game. Everytime we see a boardsie its a shot.

Deal?ok deal.

cooker3 · 10-02-2008 10:11PM

Never heard of her

sickpuppy · 10-02-2008 10:22PM

A plastering trowel or a brickies trowel?
Youd drop the hand at the same time if you got a chance.

cooker3 · 10-02-2008 11:34PM

She doesn't look too bad from opening montage

Edit: lol @ learning poker from Fintan and skippy

Chucky the tree · 10-02-2008 11:38PM

I'd throw it in anyway.

Shockingly cringeworthy opening.

THEIRISHMOB · 10-02-2008 11:43PM

The first TV table seems to be made for table?

I thought that a tournament like this would have a random table and seat draw? Am I right in saying that these players were picked for the TV table?

paler · 10-02-2008 11:49PM

God, i wish they would get someone else to do the commentery, that Jessy may guy tilts me something terrible with that fake laugh. Have to stop playing while im watching it.

THEIRISHMOB · 11-02-2008 12:04AM

Finally some class on the table.
lookin good Nicky

nicnicnic · 11-02-2008 12:12AM

had a feeling it would be a brief appearance

bops · 11-02-2008 12:28AM

FungiWalsh · 11-02-2008 12:29AM

I wonder how much Flipper paid Jesse May for the shout-out.

Quite the cooler, Nicky, ul.

Is it a different girl or is cable spreading the image for widescreen?

yes pokerevents show a consistency whenever theres a feature table to just put together whatever makes good tv. I'm not sure the why hell the TD would get boughed down in such matters but this the main reason I'll never play a PE televised event again regardless of how much dead money there seems to be. It not a coincidence that Nicky Power was next in, yer man Donal (scum IMO) just had a look quick glance round a few tables and picked out Nicky cause he's known around the circuit. Don't even think he was next on the BB which is standard procedure but Nicky can confirm.

Another example is when they wanted to get some local donk with lots of chips to sit the tv table so armed with a notepad they scoured the room and got someone off my table again not on big blind. Everyone at the table was naturally pissed off cause he was chip leader by a mile and spastically spewing off chips. When Neil Channing argued this sham saying that it was players putting up the prizepool etc said donk was brought back to the table even though he was microphoned up ready to go on lol.

Regarding Laura Woods she'd definitly get a shot at the title.

nicnicnic · 11-02-2008 01:22AM

funny how the mind plays tricks on you i was 100% sure i bet out the flop

I was definitely hand picked, it was kinda an ambush, I think they wanted a good looking man because of that hot chick there

Hawk Eye,
Your point may or may not be valid but I really think it is outrageous that you would come on a public forum and call anyone scum. Dónal will probably not come on to defend himself as i believe he is in Africa doing charity work for a year.

Please have the decency to withdraw or else I hope you are banned from the forum.

Anyone got what it takes to get this on to pokertube or to get a torrent going?
