    I would be interested. What kind of stakes are you thinking of?


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 4,664 Mod ✭✭✭✭Hyzepher


    Count me in

    Hyzepher


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 8,927 Mod ✭✭✭✭mewso


    Open to suggestion on stakes.

    Currently 4 takes, me, careca, evillive and hyzepher. So ideally I'm looking for 4 more. Remember drinking and smoking encouraged.

    I suggest a similar format to the €25 game in the fitz. €25 buy-in max - holdem/omaha €1-€1 blinds, pot limit.

    I'd be up for it, although I am in work at 7.45 the next morning and wouldn't be in it for the long haul.

  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 8,927 Mod ✭✭✭✭mewso


    Grand thats 6. Enough to play with. 6 p.m. then with all football safely over.

    Chris, any chance of a lift down if I meet you at Woodstown roundabout, say 5.40ish?

    I'm up for it but I cant confirm just yet. I'll be playing the freeroll tomorrow afternoon most likely, but after that I hope to be able to get free for the evening. Would love to play, drink, smoke and have a laugh!

    DeV.

    Just come along whenever you can and bring some beer.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 8,927 Mod ✭✭✭✭mewso


    Late call but 1 or 2 places still free.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,838 ✭✭✭DapperGent


    I presume you're going to be still going strong at 11 or midnight?


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 8,927 Mod ✭✭✭✭mewso


    Should be.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,832 ✭✭✭Waylander


    Went on till 4.30 in the end. Thanks for hosting Brian, I think a good night was had by all.


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 21,252 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dub13


    How did you all do...?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,832 ✭✭✭Waylander


    I won 70 on an even three way split on the tournie, and just about broke even on the cash games.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,220 ✭✭✭Davey Devil


    You split the tourney at a home game!!! I fear for the future of the game ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 445 ✭✭evillive


    came out a tenner up which paid for the pizza

    good beer, grub, company and poker for free basically

    i'm much too nice to take anyones money :D:D

    dealer's choice we played omaha, lowball, 7 card stud, 5 stud, 5 card draw,

    holdem with you cards held on your forehead so everyone else can see your hole cards xcept you - lafortezza was made fold winning hands twice before he just went on tilt in disgust and won, best laugh coming where we pushed him into folding pocket aces that we all could see :D as they say his face was a picture, when he looked at the fold

    the times we played holdem was actually a bit boring :D

    and in lieu of finding a better of even what the proper name is if it already exists a new game was spawned last night: 'pot limit 3 card crazy' or reversi or whatever we were calling it

    everyone antes in the pot
    gets dealt 3 cards
    having regard to brag hand scoring theres a round of betting

    now you discard one card to the player on your left and receive on from the player on your right, more betting follows (ok you could check it down bit no one did) so you could have a made hand and have it taken away - careca had top flush, discarded the high card because he was giving himself extra outs only to hit the flush again but lafortezza to make the bigger flush with the card careca passed to him

    has anyone played this before?

    anyhow eagerly awaiting the next time for more madness

    Ah sure the quicker the tournie finished the quicker everyone was back into play for the cash game. There were not enough of us to start another game as people dropped out so a deal seemed the fairest thing.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,832 ✭✭✭careca


    Great night of cards. Really enjoyed it.

    One important point for anyone playing holdem where your two cards are stuck to your forehead for everyone else to see except you.

    Just because everyone else has crap cards does not mean you have good ones !!!!!

    Thinking of writing two books

    Pot Limit Crazy Banana 3-card Split Reversi - An Introduction.
    Holdem with your cards stuck to your head for dummies.
