I'm hitting Irish shores the weekend of the 12th of Oct, anyone recommend any freezeouts (e50 or so) on Sat 13th that begin at a reasonable hour?

Define "reasonable hour"? Every tourney will be a 20.30 - 21.00 start; and won't finish until 02.00am or later.

And at the moment, the best bet for a Saturday night would appear to be Cool Hand Lukes (Same building as the old Merrion club beside the FAI offices).

just off the phone with dave, 400 still added in jackpot tonight. i think i might just stick to the high stakes wed night razz which is on up and down harcourt st.

zuutroy

Right so Lloyd, thats grand. I'll bring my dead money there. I had visions of 10pm to 6am type of thing, my concentration tends to wane around 2am. Anyway, I'm sure I'll be gone in time for the last bus! Any boardsies likely to be there?

Yep, I believe CHL's has a €50 FO or DC on Sat nights. Too lazy to double check, but it is one of them.

zuutroy

Its a DC...bit unclear on these (live n00b). Does that mean if you want the 2nd part of the stack you're in for 100euro? Bit steep for the mates I'll be going with I think.

5starpool

Nope, DC means that you get a second lot of chips anytime after the first hand, but by the break at the latest, for no extra money. It is essentially a freezeout, but you get your chips in 2 parts. You can play it like a freezeout and take the second lot after the first hand if you want. It will only cost €55 whatever way you look at it.

THAT'LL DO FOR ME! IT'S A GOOD AMOUNT TO BE ADDED SEEING AS THERE WERE ONLY ABOUT 40 PLAYERS THERE LAST WEEK, I.E. IT'S 25% ADDED, THAT MUST BE GOOD VALUE IN ANY MAN'S LANGUAGE.

Mr.Plough

does anyone ever play in silks or the 76 club? what cash/tournys do they have if any?

5starpool

As far as I know, Silks has no poker, and the 78 club, last I heard had one or 2 cash games going on occasion. I have not heard about them lately though.

na pushed with KQ on a Q high flop with the first half of the DC - ran into AQ, then had 66 and limp in with the intention of raising all in if someone raise which they did - but unfortunely there were 2 of us all in and john called - he had AQ and other person had 1010. had the 10's cover - so got back 1600 - and threw it all in with 85soooted... hit flush on the turn - only for john to hit a higher one on the river....

i might head in again, get the practice in while im still off/out-of work

Ace2007

One thing i am not, is a liar. True to my word i went out and won this tonight, id like to lend my thanks to Geoff Taylor without whose text meant i probably would have gone to the Student bar instead, Mellor Ace2007 and any others boardsies who donated tonight many thanks.
Races i won
AT v KJ = AT is good
Q9 v AQ = 9 on the flop (pot committed v short stack)
99 v A4 = 99 hold
AA v 96 on Q96 flop with Ace turn for 1/2 chips in play with 6 left.
AJ v 77 heads up to win, Ace on the turn seals it.

I played a very TAG game where i didnt lose any pot i entered into either raising or folding until the break. I also overshoved when i turned quad 8`s on an A838 board and got called!
I ran very well but at the same time i think this is the best ive played for a long time, where i was selectively aggressive, changed gears several times and maintained a TAG game without the fancy play syndrome which was so often my downfall.

when you call off 1200 preflop with 52o against a tight UTG raiser from UTG+1, with only an 8K or less stack...

I was BB and he was SB was it not??? and i had 11K+ in front(i'm nearly certain) he's robbed the blinds 3 orbits in a row i think, plus i was pretty much card dead after the break... as you saw me tryin to rob ur BB with 23 and hittin a straight... my plan was to shove any A flop, as it was i flopped 2 pair,

well done on winning anyhow - will u be donating any to luke's 100 FO tomorrow...

Ace2007

how much for the win - 1100k?

Mellor

Joe took €800 for first,
I got €450 for second.

Played TAG all night, with a few aggressive pushes that folded out better hands due to image.

Joe was winning alot of races. I suppose I didn't do too bad either
Only hands I was involved in playing out were:

A4 vrs 89 ........4 handed against shortstack
4 handed, Shortstack RRAI on turn, I call with 2 pair, she has flush, river is one of 4 to give me a house

Lost with 77 verses AJ, heads up, see above
stacks were 68k for me, 92k for Joe, AIPF
Flop gave me a gutshot, ace on turn sealed it
Had I won I would of been in decent spot with 136k vrs 24k

You have to win your races I suppose

Ace2007

i assume shortstack was in fact low on chips and not the one on boards?
