    Pencil me in - use pencil not ink. I'll need to try and arrange it so I can go - put me down though before the seats run out.

    Hmmm, sunday afternoon drinking? I don't know about that... I might get a reputation.

  • Registered Users Posts: 9,788 ✭✭✭MrPudding

    Any chance of a more accurate address then "His gaff in Donnybrook" :)

    DeV.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,476 ✭✭✭Samba


    By the looks of things the table is full :)

    If anyone drops out let me know, would really like to play some games as most of my usual crowd are off traveling.


    Excuse my igorance, i've never played casino style poker, could someone explain what exactly a blind structure is?


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,308 ✭✭✭quozl


    12 really is the maximum I can fit.
    If anybody has to pull out, please post here and the people who didnt make the list can come instead. I make it MrPudding and then Samba in that order so far.

    I'll pm the address and links to 2 maps to the people on the list.

    Greg


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,838 ✭✭✭DapperGent


    I made it on the bubble!

    Cheers Greg!

    I've pm'd directions to those on the list. If you didn't get any then let me know please.

    Greg


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,636 ✭✭✭henbane


    I'm afraid I have to pull out so you boys will have to wait for the ass pounding I was all set to dole out.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,788 ✭✭✭MrPudding


    Is that me in?
    Hope so I'm mad for a bit of poker this weekend. I was playing online and having a go at calling with any hand and raising when the 2 cards combined made more than 10. I think it worked out really well. I'm hoping to try it out on Sunday.

    MrP


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,806 ✭✭✭Lafortezza


    you scare me sometimes... especially when you go all "willy nilly"....


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 4,663 Mod ✭✭✭✭Hyzepher


    ok my pencil has now become ink.

    See you there

    D'oh. Only just got a chance to check the thread. It would mean you're in alright. Hope you just asked someone for directions. I've pm'd you them just in case there's time :(

  • Registered Users Posts: 4,838 ✭✭✭DapperGent


    That was a good fun. Thanks Greg!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,641 ✭✭✭Canaboid


    Thanks for having us Greg, how did it finish ?


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,308 ✭✭✭quozl


    davey got first, i got second.

    I had about 1/4 his stack at the start of the heads up, and by dint of being a big bully got to having about 1 1/2 times his stack or so.

    Was feeling really really chuffed with myself when I got him to go all in bluff against my 2 pair on the turn with his gut shot draw by feigning weakness.

    He hit his 4 which undid all my good work :)) And the next hand I went out all in A2 against his A6. A2 looked pretty tempting heads-up, and maybe slightly on tilt :)

    Heads up was the most fun part of the night though. And Davey totally deserved it, karmic pay back for me flopping a poker of 2's against him earlier.

    Greg

    So results were
    1st Davey Devil
    2nd quozl
    3rd Canaboid

    another disasterous poker session for me.... I dont think I've ever played well at our home games, too much fun or something :)

    Cash game afterwards was a good laugh! I didnt realise one of the new comers was Canaboid who's been on the site for ages (was that the person who's hands shook?).

    Had a good laugh and its a great venue Greg, thanks!

    DeV.
