    Look forward to it!

    Don't worry, I always burn the correct way now. I only did that the other night cuz some guy paid me to. I was like yeah cool!joke


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,832 ✭✭✭Waylander


    I may have a couple of others with me but I will not know till Monday. Do you need to know in advance, or can they just turn up on the night?


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    They can turn up on the night, I have 4 tables at least ready.

    I don't think it will really matter unless an extra 50 turn up. I think the qorst that will happen is there might be a slight delay as more tables are put together.

    I'll try get a few other lads along, I'd say intrest in the freezeout would be good.

    This could either be a flop or a huge success. Prepare for both. You wont know until the night. Good luck and I hope I can make it. (99% sure I will be able so far)

    Do you go out of your way to be irritating? Dev has taken the initiative to organise this, didn't see you doing anything about it - anyway isn't €50 not a bit rich for a pro poker player student like yourself?


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    Ah now I think Cormie was just passing comment from experience. Everyone must have had a hard week cos were all being narky :)

    This is going to rock, theres 30 signed up and lets face it, even 20 would make it a good night. I expect the final numbers will be closer to 40 myself.

    So poker from 7 to 10ish and then on to the pub for beer and bad beats :)

    Hopefully somewhere with a late licence if we have to hear the latest installment of your bad beats :)


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    I'll bad beat the fnck out of you, biatch!

    I'm simply speaking from experience. In something like this you have to prepare for obstacles.

    I have actually offered to deal on the night, even though it probably will distract my play.

    Why do you persist in calling me a student? I'm not a student. €50, if you must know, is in my price range.

    re: "experience", hehe, I actually said it myself in the post above before I saw you mention it.

    Bad beats? let's hope their lacking.


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    I dunno... sometimes I wish the game stopped when you turned over your cards and the highest probability of winning just *won* right there and then but then you wouldnt get the rushes when you are drawing two more cards trying to dodge any 8 or any spade for 100 notes ;)

    Introducing:

    'DeV's Bad Beat Bonus®'

    Skim €50 out of the prize fund and whoever gets the worst bad beat of the night gets it.

    Potential bad beats must be brought to the attention of DeV who will work out the bad beat % to 15 decimal places!

    ...i can dream cant I :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 20,835 ✭✭✭✭cormie


    that's quite a nice suggestion. €50 is nothing really, it's what? €10 or so from 1st places prize and less from the rest?

    ...building momentum...

    I think we should do it, would be a bit of fun. Once people dont mind it breaking up play too much.

    Wont be too many contenders and we know DeV will win it easily...


    ....but only if DeV wears a pink shiny metallic jacket gameshow style!


  • Registered Users Posts: 20,835 ✭✭✭✭cormie


    and sings my lovely horse!

    I say you get a poll up Dev:)?


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    I'm going to suggest two variants (your bad beat one, and one I've vaguely heard of before and have made up some rules for :) ) on another thread.

    DeV.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,382 ✭✭✭Juan Pablo


    Or just put €1 a skull into a side pot?
