GF gone to France, looking for some action....

MrPudding

.....poker action that is. Any game happening on the 14th?

MrP

DeVore

My place is available if we wanted to...

DeV.

Lafortezza

I was talking to henbane about the possibility of a game on saturday night, then realised it was valentines and there mightn't be anyone free.
If you want to host it Dev then I can bring chips and a decent pack of cards.
Mr P, Dev, myself, henbane (will check with him), anyone else interested?

edit: count myself and henbane in if you're happy to open your house to poker nuts again Dev,

MrPudding

Excellent. Put me down. I may also be able to rustle up 2 more.

MrP

henbane

Count me in for poker

DeVore

Me and amp are up for it!

DeV

Lafortezza

Do you want to name a time?

DeVore

How about 7:30 pm?
We should sort the rules out too.

10 Euro buy in,
2 Rebuys up till 10pm
Topup at 10pm

1/2 the pool to first
1/3 to second
1/6 to third

these seem ok to everyone or any other suggestions???

DeV.

Lafortezza

Sounds grand to me, how about 2 rebuys plus topup or 3 rebuys, so those all in merchants can go crazy if they like.
Edit: Would people consider just dividing the stacks at teh end of the night? So whatever the prize pool is justs gets divided proportionally between everyone?
Might need unlimited buyins for that.
It could be costly if you get a bad run of cards but at least it would stop people knocked out from just having to sit there and watch.

MrPudding

Sound good to me dev. Will it be ok if I bring 2 people? I am currently trying to get a solid commitment from them. What is the player limit and how many do we have?

PS Is anyone playing in the Merrion tonight?

MrP

DeVore

if you vouch for them thats cool and if they barf anywhere or fall over or anything they are your problem.

With them we have 7 and I guess our limit is about 8-9 tops...

DeV.

DeVore

Whats on in the Merrion tonight? I havent been there yet... can you become a member on the door?

Register on the door, photo ID needed but they let you away the first week.
according to mr pudding its 20euro to play, 20 euro buyins, you're allowed 3, or 2 plus topup,
its a bit pricy for me tonight before payday on friday though. Good luck if you go!

AFAIK the Fitz has the same tournie tonight also

Hyzepher

MrPudding

Yeah the Fitz has the same tournie but everyone goes to the Merrion though.

MrP

Would it not be an advantage then to go to Fitz? Less competition - albeit less money.

Hyzepher

MrPudding

I suppose there is a point there. I think I would prefer bigger numbers though.

MrP

DeVore

ideally you'd want to be where the suckers are

Havent been to the Merrion, the Fitz is nice though so I cant imagine why people would go to the Merrion if the tournies are the same, just for that tournie...

I'll be in the Fitz tomorrow if anyone is around... meet in a pub beforehand anyone?

DeV.

Samson

I'm going in to the Fitzwilliam tomorrow night, what pub are you going to beforehand?

Lafortezza

I think myself and henbane will be headed for Fireworks for some food and a game of pool at around half six or so. If not then I suppose we could meet in the Henry Grattan round the corner from the Fitz at about 8.30 or so?

DeVore

6:30 for food and pool sounds great... Fireworks then?

DeV.

Lafortezza

Yeah, see you then.

Hyzepher

The title of this thread has brought out the song writer in me (sing to the tune of Tone Loc - Funky Cold Medina)

Girlfriend gone to France
And I'm lookin' for some action
But like DeVore said
I cant get no satisfaction.
The boys are all around
and none of them miss a trick
My hole cards are def and I'm lookin' fresh
hey I got the Big Slick.

The guys are all a callin'
with hands well below par
comin' in with 27os
when they know that I'm the star.
So I raise them big
and start to look much meaner
They just stare back
and get my Poker Face Medina!

So I stared at this girl
She said 'Hi, my name is Tina'
I thought she's a noob
and gave her Poker Face Medina!
So I took her to the river
Started to really push
But when the cards went down, it was a big old mess
Tina had a flush

You should be ashamed of yourself, encouraging aldultery.

henbane

If poker is still going ahead what time is it kicking off?

DeVore

7:30 my place
(Apt 4, 17 waterloo road)
Bring beer, we're out.

DeV.

casper-

I think I can find Fireworks from the tara st. dart -- but how do we get to your place?

DeVore

Over Baggot street bridge, heading towards Jurys, there is a right hand turn (opposite the Waterloo pub) and thats waterloo road. We're the house with a yellow door and number 17.
