Horrible.

Cheers MickC,

Four out, I ran Luckier than a horseshoe tied to a rabbit's left foot, winning all my races and one brain fart which put me pot committed:o

Anyway, I'm looking forward to rubbing shoulders with some Boardies at the ME and hopefully maintaining some of the hot streak I seem to be on ATM.

GL & Wahoooooooooooooooooooo! :D:D:D:D

thought you were "superaccu" or something like it on VC

might not be you at all so, sorry, thought it was you who knocked me out....

it was deff an All In small blind raise with A2 off to my BB that took out my QQ when i was mid stacked.

mickc

that was me, just explaining my actions (good/bad)

are my stack sizes off? i thought about 10BBs??

DEEP THROAT

I watched the rest of it after having AhJh with a flop of KhThQ busted by K9 when he hit KK for quads and in the end I didnt feel to bad as I've never seen such outdraws in my life.....

The final hand summed it up with about 70% of the chips in play in the pot preflop

AK vs A4 first card 4

Are VC running another IO freeroll, the site is still advertising the 2 for 1 offer:)

Are VC running another league, the site has a $5 tourney for next Thurs

Can you pay the $prizes from the leaderboards a quickly as possible as the $ seems to be in freefall:cool:

VC Poker.ie

Hi folks,

Leaderboards are up to date including last night's results and congratulations are in order for our first 10 finishing in the money with the conclusion of the $5 Series and more importantly to the top three advancing to the grand finale STT where they'll take on Ken Doherty and the qualifiers from the other two series.

Cash prizes for the top 10 will be awarded first thing Monday pending final gameplay checks. The top 3 qualifying for the finale will be automatically registered for this tournament and you simply need to login on Sunday, March 9 at 20:20GMT to take your shot at Ken's bounty and the further $1k on offer. Congratulations to last night's winners. Well played.

Is the whole final table not decided now, as no one catch TheIrishMob in the $10? Am I in?

I'd imagine ureself and Hennessy2007 will both qualify

DEEP THROAT

Assuming that JuanPablo beat SuperiorHans

Result reads

1 JUANPABL0 15
2 SuperiorHans 12
3 golly6 10
4 NotABoardsie 8
5 stpokered2 6
6 THEIRISHMOB 5
7 Tiernaboul 4
8 gkenny1208 3
9 Hennessy2007 2


Which gives final leaderboard of

1 NotABoardsie 92+8=100
2 SuperiorHans 83+12=95
3 Tiernaboul 78+4=82
4 JUANPABL0 65+15=80
5 golly6 57+10=67
6 THEIRISHMOB 49+5=54
7 stpokered2 29+6=35
8 gkenny1208 26+3=29
9 TheyWereSooted 27+0=27
10 bobulo 20+0=20

If SuperiorHans clawed back the defecit post and I'll change but it won't make any difference to the standings in the table

PokerPissTaker

Well done DEEP THROAT, I was a tough ol' field in fairness

If I hadn't just won $1000 I'd take that as an insult:D
I did claw my way back to even, but lost a race my 10 10 vs juan's aj all in preflop.
Congrats on the win. Deserved winner and hope to outdraw you on the final table with Ken;)
Well done to everyone else who made it aswell.

Juan Pablo

Quite the battle myself and Hans had! Wp all, see you at the KnockKenOutament!

THEIRISHMOB

Hi VC Poker.

Just checked my account and the payment for the 2nd in the $5 series is in my account but I never received the $300 for the $10 series 6th place.
Could you please check this for me.

Many thanks

HUSH HUSH

Is this league over?

I've noticed that a Boards $5 and $10 tourney are listed for this week

No need to panic yet id say, ive received my 3rd place in the $5 league and am also awaiting my 3rd in the $10.

Probably still pending.

VC Poker.ie

Hi guys,

The Leaderboards are now updated including the final standings for both the $5 and $10 Series'. More importantly, the Grand Final Leaderboard is updated as well showing those who've qualified through to the final event. Both zuutroy and Hennessy2007 (with the next highest point totals) draw in to the final as a result of golly6 and Tiernaboul qualifying on both leaderboards.

Congratulations to all who've qualified for the final showdown with Ken. You've all been automatically registered for the tourney. All cash prizes have been awarded for the $5 Series money winners to date and prizes for the $10 Series will be awarded first thing tomorrow following final gameplay checks.

Well played and good luck in the final.

Shuffles

Money lodged by VC, Money withdrawn by me.

Compliments to VC for the organisation of an enjoyable tourney and promptness of all payment.

Hopefully it will be ran again as ive no doubt there will be improved numbers.

Looking forward to Sunday.

It would seem it is a reduced field with the omission of the freeroll winner for some reason.

ahhhh i see, might have a crack at that too tonight so, im placed around 9 or 10.

VC Poker.ie

Hi guys,

Just a quick post to let you know that all winners of the $10 Series have now been awarded their cash prizes. Only 1 seat left for Sunday's single table final against Ken and that goes to the final winner of the Freeroll Series which culminates tonight at 20:20 GMT. As with the $5 and $10 Series, cash prizes are paid out to the Top Ten Leaderboard finishers so still plenty of chances to finish in the cash for almost everyone who's earned a few points so far in this Series. As always, good luck and good poker.

VC Poker.ie

Hi folks,

We have our Freeroll qualifier through now and it's down to the last 9 in the Grand Final Showdown this Sunday at 20:20 GMTwith a $500 bounty on Mr. Doherty's head. All prizes have been awarded to date and our hearty congrats to the winners thus far.

For those of you unaware, it's worth a mention that we still have a couple chances left to qualify for the Irish Open as well, as follows:

Irish Open Super Satellite Holdem NL $300+20 Freeze out 9th of March 21:00 GMT

Irish Open Super Sat R/A Holdem NL $50+5 12th of March 20:05

Thanks to our exclusive 2-for-1 Satellite offer, if you fail to qualify from either of these events, we'll invite you to play in our last chance Irish Open Freeroll on March 13th at 21:00GMT.

As always, good luck.

It's only luck if don't know what cards are coming...superuser acs are ez


As for Hennessy, after pushing and raising every hand for about 3-4 orbits he would have KK when I decide to stand against him. Stupid call on my part regardless of what he was holding.

WP to all, and congrats to Hennessy!

When's the next one starting?

VC Poker.ie

Hi folks,

Final prizes have all been awarded and congrats are in order for Hennessy2007 the first place finisher in our Grand Finale tournament and golly6 who knocked out Ken Doherty with a runner runner straight draw to top Ken's Jacks and Queens.

$5 Series Champion - golly6
Freeroll Series Champion - Desilva1
Grand Finale Winner - Hennessy2007

Glad I scrapped into the Grand finale by a cats whisker. Very Enjoyable game!

.

I do hope VCpoker.ie run another in the future. With more advance notice I'd say there would be much improved numbers.

gg all.

Hi guys,

Thanks to all for a highly competitive and enjoyable League competition. We are keen to gather your suggestions on what you did and didn't like about the format of the competition so we can make the best decisions on the best format for a future event. Please feel free to post or PM me directly with your suggestions.

On a separate note, I'm pleased to confirm that one of Board's own gkenny took our seat last night in our Irish Open Freeroll. Gkenny won the seat in true tenacious fashion taking advantage of our 2-for-1 Satellite offer to win the second leg opportunity and secure himself a seat for a shot at the big money in Dublin.

Clearly the League play sharpened his skills and our congrats and best wishes go out to gkenny for a strong showing in this year's Open.

gkenny

cheers for the best wishes vc.
presume you will be supplying your finest hoodies and t shirts.
hope standard of IO is similar to ipoker.

Anyone having problems withdrawing to laser on VC? I requested a cashout and it was all O.K'd by customer support.I just got an email from VC cancelling my withdrawal, which I requested last week. It turns out that you apparently can't withdraw dollars to a laser card, but the customer service person told me that it was being converted to euro before it went to my laser.
He even quoted me the exchange rate I was getting! It was 1.55 which has now significantly worsened.

My account on VC.ie is in Euros? It gets converted when I join a game etc. Winnings are paid in Euro too.

Yeah, I deposited from a $$$ Neteller account so my account is in dollars, but the live customer service told me that it was no problem.

Makes no difference really. You are still at the mercy of the exchange rate for winnings. My neteller is in Euro though, so that is handy.

I used to play internet poker but I stopped.

I lost too much money.

The odds of winning are so small that your few bob is better spent on the lotto.

I have friends who have lost tens of thousands at online poker.

They started off thinking it was just a big laugh.

One fella did a bit of bird over the whole thing, stealing to pay for his habit.

Gambling is a dirty business

Is it a reasonable thing, I ask you, for a grown man to run about and hit a ball? Poker's the only game fit for a grown man. Then, your hand is against every man's, and every man's is against yours. Teamwork? Who ever made a fortune by teamwork? There's only one way to make a fortune, and that's to down the fellow who's up against you. Poker is just for oldies guys!
