Hey Gholi

My mistake.......... I created alot of confusion by this. I should have typed "Clonee". It's very near Blanchardstown shopping centre.

From M50 turn towards Navan. There are two exits for Blacnch shop centr, pass both of them. The next exit is well sign posted for Clonee. Take it and drive straight through the lights in front of you. This will bring you into Clonee village and the Grasshopper is at the end of the villge on the right.

It's not as far away as it sounds..... it's about 5mins from M50

That is a scurrilous remark, and I am considering withdrawing the Fitz team from this.

Ok, I have considered and I won't.....this time.

Anyone going to tell me where this place is? I, and others, have asked to no avail it seems. The middle of nowhere is not an answer that helps a bunch.

Why does this post remind me of Trigger Happy TV...

Legend_DIT

I don't drive and have no idea of how to get to this place other than taxi (Expensive? or not?)

So, if anyone is heading in and would like to give me a lift, please PM me - my mate might also be coming....

I'm in Tallaght, but could go into town if that suited....

TRAITOR!!! :mad:

what team you on anyway?

Taggart from bolton st is organising a team, i'll probably be driving out but not sure if i have spaces in the car. Taggart/Carl/Lloyd will all be going from tallaght.

Legend_DIT

I posted that I was available for consideration bexause I didn't think there'd be a DIT team and NTLbell (:D) recruited me for the Culchies!

Considering I'm actually going against my own College, what are the chances a DIT representative will give me a lift?

they had two left on the final table but they had to come first and second and have another team come 8th and 9th in order to win by one point so most likely they'll get second

Did the students get any points?

roryc

I won it again....

Legend_DIT

Congratulations Rory!

Which team took the cup?

You're going to get yourself barred.

WP rory!

Iceman78

Congrats Rory, you played well from what i saw of you. I was going grand till we got to 2 tables and then went card dead and went out about 12th.

I felt sorry for the lad you knocked out when you pushed him all in on the blind from your big blind and you turned over AKs. That was sick.

My brother.

He wasn't happy.

HalfBaked

Well done Rory, frightening consistency in these events.

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.

I was playing for 74 offsuit. My mate split the money with Rory when they were heads up.

Was a great day and enjoyed the game even though i went out close to the bubble.

OllyK, id say your brother was well impressed with Rory getting that lucky on the blind against him.

Thats mad, I was on the JJP 74o team aswell, at one stage there was 3 of us on the same table. Did we win it in the end? I went home, p1ssed off, when I got knocked out.

I was my table leader(T5) at the break and to say I went card dead after the break is an understatement. I couldnt buy decent cards and ended up getting stung by blinds, KO'd 28th while trying to hang on for team points, I pushed with my best hand in 1.5hrs A8o.

Rory my mate was sitting at your table, when you were dealing, for a while and was saying you couldn't miss. So much so that when someone called you you said to him something to the effect of, "be careful Im hitting everything". And yet they still let you deal???? Wp mate congratulations

I think it went something like

ollyk's brother raises, rory who hasn't looked at his cards yet re-raises him, costing ollyk's brother all his chips to call he does.

Rory flips over AKs ollys bro had a3o or something rory wins.

Im guessing ollys brother has a shortish stack and rory not so short?. if so i cant see anything sick about it?.
