Fitz Tonight

kencleary · 10-02-2005 12:26pm #1

So besides the usual freeroll what is else is going on in the Fitz tonight? I've a hankering for some live action play and wouldn't mind heading in, no particular desire to play the freeroll though. Is the Holdem only cash game still running on Thursday nights?

DeVore · 10-02-2005 12:29pm

I'm up for some NLH-Only cash action. We normally get a great game from the players here... anyone up for it? I'll be drunk if that helps... (helps you, obviously, its unlikely to help me much, apart from you know, being drunk n'all, which wil be nice.)

Was speaking to Hectorjelly on VC last night and he said he'd probably be along too. So that makes 3 of us anyway........
What time does the HL only game usually kick off at?
The later it is the drunker i'll be too

Juan Pablo · 10-02-2005 12:54pm

I am contemplating a cash game visit tonight myself. There is a big party on there tonight to celebrate the Year of the Rooster, Karaoke, grub, dancing and plenty of Jap-Sai no doubt, I think its kicking off late enough as well, around 1.

DeVore · 10-02-2005 1:01pm

Aye, 1am there will be a Dragon Dance through the club I believe. I was also forewarned that Sharon may be coaxed into performing her world famous Chinese Fan Dance. Fabulous.

You are taking the proverbial wee-wee?

careca · 10-02-2005 1:16pm

I'll throw my name in the hat also. Can someone fix a time to start ?

For the game btw, not the Fan Dance

DeVore · 10-02-2005 1:47pm

say 10pm onwards?

DeV.

kencleary · 10-02-2005 1:48pm

10pm sounds good to me!

Hectorjelly · 10-02-2005 2:10pm

Sounds good to me too, its ages since Ive lost real money

You may not be interested but...

The montly Merrion 200 game is on tonight - kick-off at 9PM, one-table satellites from 6PM

They normally get about 60-70 runners for this.

Skitbra · 10-02-2005 3:03pm

How much is it in for the one table satellites?

I'm guessing 22 Euro to include registration (200+20)

kencleary · 10-02-2005 3:11pm

Hmmm thanks for the info pokertroll. What time do the satellites usually start at?

The club opens at 6 for the satellites AFAIK- I can't imagine there being too many people there until about 7 so I would aim for that if I were you.

ionapaul · 10-02-2005 4:22pm

Might check this out - my first visit to the Merrion

bohsman · 10-02-2005 4:53pm

30 euro for STTs if they cant get ten runners prob 25 otherwise, like any casino they will take a reg for running the STT

Dear God...........

I know you had aces and were ahead and all that but 1500 pre-flop on a hand of omaha???!!!

and how on earth did he call that with just jacks?

DeVore · 10-02-2005 6:23pm

JJ78 double suited isnt a bad hand! Its a good hand to crack bare aces with too. That might be what he was hoping you had. Considering that you have a far better hand then bare aces thats a pretty foul beat. What level were you playing at to get it all in preflop for 1500!?

DeV.

Hectorjelly · 10-02-2005 6:30pm

Im not just ahead, Im miles ahead. I actually put him on AA as well but mine were double suited which meant a huge edge for me. Im only a couple of %'s off AA vs KK

They say, in a cash game, you make money every time you get your money in the pot as favourite(well Theoretical money according to Sklansky).

but try buying chicken baguette meal with theoretical money...
Gotta be big swings playing that game.

Against a bare AA hes about a 60 40 dog, it was $2 $4 and there were several players involved preflop. It went limp, min raise, pot raise, I reraise on button, fold, fold, re re raise I go all in he calls.

bohsman · 10-02-2005 7:32pm

When youre up against aces the last thing you want in your hand is a pair, Ive been playing the 5c10c PLO on VC shouldnt be too long before I make enough out of that to take hector on

Those 5c/10c seem to be a boards enclave these days, there's bohsman, me, dappergent, henbane, karlh, kencleary occasionally fills the chat screen with "I really don't know what I'm doing...", Big Dragon plays too, probably more.

One thing I've noticed about the micro limits that there's rarely more than a min raise preflop, and if there is then its always AAxx, so you can judge if you hand is the type to crack AAxx.

I can occasionally be found playing 5c/10c HiLo and i'm 100% sure I ain't got a clue what i'm doing.

kencleary · 11-02-2005 11:02am

Good game last night! even if the Dragon got a bit much after a while. Thats the last time im playing on a work night though. Made it home for only 2 hours sleep before having to get up and back into Dublin, was hardly worth my while leaving!

Few memorable hands really though. I pulled my usual routine of playing a few hands well to build myself up a bit before doing something stupid on one hand and losing all the gains. Still enjoyed myself and i think ill head back some Friday night for a bit more cash game fun.

I'll keep away from you from now on Ken. I'm going through a stalking phase at the mo. You're my hero!

DeVore · 11-02-2005 11:44am

It took me two seconds to process Ken's post. I thought he meant BigDragon too!

careca · 11-02-2005 11:55am

Bad Cards + Not Hitting Flop = Raped (cash wise).

The holdem only is really too much hard work, although it was a nice crowd at the table. I'd say I took out three pots all night and two of them were bluffs. Def will be playing the holdem/omaha next time out.

Samba · 11-02-2005 12:02pm

Man o man, Oscar must have dealt me A3o about 8 times!! I sat down with 75 and regretted it very quickly as I gave myself no room to breathe.

Memorable hand? I only played around 5. I suppose the only one is one I put down to your bet Ken, I was out of position and looked down and saw KJo, it was looking like a limpers pot when you fired out.

I immediately put you on AK and put it down, I was biting my lip when I saw you show QQ on the K high flop and the amount you led out with.

But again my stack size let me down and I couldn't afford to be making calls like that with KJ as the flop was going to be expensive to play and with K high i had to worry about my kicker.

That hand with AQ was rough, very good player that Vietnamese guy.

That lad who dropped what, 400-500 bills? Is he a regular?

There was one hand with him that was hilarious.

I was sick of seeing so many crap cards that I limped in with K2s (a monster) flop came K42 two clubs, he bets 10 I call, turn is a blank, I check, he checks river is a 2, I think for ages and spot him checking out of turn and so say to him, well in that case 25...... I COULD NOT BELIEVE HE CALLED and showed Q4o
