What I heard of the live music was rubbish tbh. An all white Irish gospel choir complete with swaying, and a too loud jazz band, and I hate jazz anyhow.

Bah.

Yeah totally agree with this.

We were drinking in the bar by the poker room and had to leave as the jazz band were just too loud. Sure it was something different but it was just a too loud.



Gl to anyone still in this and from my personal point of view was nice to meet some of the boardsies, like nicnicnic, flipper, BCB, pokerplaya and P_L.

Jazz? Come on people, most of that was funk! Definitely was loud, there were 13 in the band though, we mostly had very positive feedback. Tomorrow will not be so loud

Don't know how anybody could not like the Dublin Gospel Choir :eek: Would never have classed them as a jazz band

GL to all the boardsies who made day 2, hope one of ye take it down!

The gospel choir played before the IO began

There was a 'jazz' band playing late on in the bar, i liked some of the songs - for example they played like the family guy theme tune which was quality but i just felt that it wasnt maybe the right type of event for them to play at. Idk, just my interpretation of it.

Sikes ftw imo

Jayminator

Ugh QQ no good VS AQo AIPF... Specially when ur man funks for the 4th spade on the river to flush my IO dreams away...

Sick value in this today. Sick just so so sick. GL to all left in except for ur man who funked the spade of course

newbie2

Taxi booked for me for 2.15pm tomorrow. Hawkeye was at my table for a while - donkey :rolleyes:. Redraw tomorrow for seats. Hope I get tthe TV table with my 6 BB's

GL to all other left.

connie147

Good luck to all boardies left in.

Flushdraw

Starting tomorrow on 19,975.

Sick starting table with Phil Baker, Bomber Nolan, Tim Blake, Michael Greco, Liam Flood, Jamie Gold and a couple of scandies. Was shortstacking most of the day till i got riggidly moved from that table...

We were 10 handed and were going to be the next TV table. About 20 mins from the move, they tried to move me (was around 5k mark) but i had just paid my BB. They obv didnt move Jamie Gold. Instead they hung around till i was next BB again and then they decided to move me....No coincidence there whatsoever as they needed to get the table 8 handed.

Moving table was a Godsend. Managed to turn a straight flush against a set of 7s to double up...86dd on a Kx7d4d, 5d on turn.

Picked up a few pots after that and played pretty good. Had 4 table changes in the last 35 mins which sucked pretty bad but what can you do!

Roll on tomorrow

Pretty meh tbh..

As soon as he sat down he raised 2 hands...2nd one he got 3bet and he showed 92.

Played a hand against Liam Flood. Liam raised to 1300 and Gold said "Not gonna mess around" and he pushed for 10kish. Liam called with AK and Golds QQ held up. 3players called allins with AK over 45 mins or so and he seems amazed the way AK is played over here.

He didnt speech play much coz he only got moved to the table about 90 mins before i got moved

Paul Tergat

Gold was playing in the cash games on Thurs night, it was a round of each (25-50 NLHE and 10-20 PLO) and he played like a complete nit.

He was so much looser in the lower NLHE games he was playing earlier Thurs. Seemed like a decent guy though tbh

QFT...Where were you seated? Please be specific, I was thrown around like a frisbee today think my tables broke like 5 times. Finished the day with 27k, made a bad semi-bluff on the turn on the very last hand, well I guess it was bad because I didnt get there, either way it cost me 9k in chips.

TommyGunne

Finished up with 36500. Table was horrible for the last two hours. Everyone seemed decent enough at the table with it being tough enough to get anything through. Been pretty card dead all day, just picking off a few spots. Hoping for a better table draw tomorrow! Need sleep badly though. Feel like a zombie.

5starpool

GL to my horsies TommyGunne and Mickste, and then to everyone else I know after that

BIGMICKG

21,800 going into day 2. feels like 100k considering i had 6k at the 1st break and 4k at the 2nd break. pure slog!

doke

31875 for me at the end. Also felt like more given I lost 40% of stack in first hand I played and was down to 4K at one point. Helped greatly by a number of charitable donations, one from a mad Scandi who apparenly called down my flopped house on all streets because "last time you flop monster, you bet flop but check turn". I love the way these guys assume because you're not under the age of 22 you must be incapable of mixing up your play and using different lines.

The other big hand mentioned on the Paddy Power blog was probably the biggest rollercoaster of my poker life. From clapping myself on the back for having induced the 4 bet ship move with my scared big bet size and shaky old man hands and wobbly voice with J7o against my AA to the uh oh there's a 7 on the flop through the oh sick another 7 on the turn before the justice card case ace on the river.

I know Albert Kenny is still in with about the same as me. Good luck to all still in.

strewelpeter

Nice one GL to Tony, Dara, Mick and everyone left in. Run Hot.

mickste

35k at the end of the day. roll on tomorrow

Moneymaker

gl to both micks and doke, and TG of course.

hope one of you goes deep at least!

as for me, home to sleep after a night shift. sigh ~

HIVeindhoven

Best of luck Mick and Tony. Hopefully FT for the pair of ye.

Somebody asked about Tom Kitt, he is shortstacked with 12k but is still in with a shot, have seem him fly right back up from stuff like that.

Best of luck to everybody who is playing today.
