It was a classic cooler situation and since he was on the favorable end, Schwartz pulled out $200 from his pocket and laid it in the dealer's tray. "This is for you," he said.
"I can't accept this right now," the dealer said.
Perhaps Schwartz was hoping for some good fortune so he would be able to fade a king with his tip to the dealer. Unfortunately for him the flop came down 2 K T. Schwartz stood up from the table and let out a huge, exasperated sigh. He began pacing around the tan section of the Amazon room, knocking over chairs, kicking tables and even tearing down a curtain in his path.
The board completed with a 5 and a Q and Schwartz came back to the table just to make sure he hadn't hit the ace.
"Wow," he said. "What a f***ing joke."
After the hand and the chips were cut out, a floor moved over to Schwartz's table and issued him a one round penalty for his behavior after the hand.
The huge pot set Pollock up to 835,000 in chips while Schwartz was knocked down to under 400,000.

Just got message from Daragh saying he has 410k now. His table got a lot tougher after the bubble burst and the shorties bust and got replaced by chipped up online beasts. Thankfully his table is on the break line (still tons of value in the field even this deep).
Heading over to Rio to rail and have dinner with him, will try to post updates while I'm thereMy poker blog - Doking around in cyberspace

Daragh dropped back to 360k after losing his first 2 big pots of tourney. Chipped back up to over 500k and then lost a 200k pot with qq v 23s (and got slow rolled for good measure) but still in ok shape with 380kMy poker blog - Doking around in cyberspace

I don't know where you get off Cathal but nobody finds you funny! I would advise thinking twice before you make tweets or public posts in the future. It will only damage your site further by alienating the very ppl you are reporting coverage on.
On a side note your coverage has been great and it is good to see someone putting in the time to promote Irish poker.Huh, Math my dear boy is nothing more than the lesbian sister of biology.

I dont even know where to begin? Again, a simple apology seems lame or insincere purely because I am being put on the spot, of course that is not the case...
I certainly didn't realise the Karma post had caused offence, clearly the second and third gaffs have upset plenty...
Of course I don't want to alienante the people I am trying to report on, the whole twitter thing is somewhat odd because I have spent the last three weeks tweeing to people, at people and about people that I really dont know that well (if at all) in person. That has led me into a somewhat false comfort zone with the players where I have now clearly overstepped the mark on several occasions.
I have thanked the posts of Dara and Jason, not out of sarcasm but to ackowledge that I have read them and also to thank Jason for beong good enough to point out some positives in what I have been doing.
After my very own twittergate last night I just took the night off tweeting, posting, commenting etc. it seems like with a 9 month old, a day job, a fledgling website that i have been attempting to keep fresh by sacrificing sleep most if not every night since the Irish Open and several other things thrown into the mix I am exhausted and my judgement has slipped badly as a result.
I knew as soon as I hit tweet last night what i had done, hopefully it is not a case of three strikes and im out as far as the community are concerned but I realise I have some making up to do and personal apologies to offer when I see the players in question.
In the meantime I delighted to see that Daragh and Liam are still going well and hope to follow their progress for many days yet.sigpic

In fairness to Cahal, I fully accept and believe his explanation that it's a case of feeling a false comfort zone of familiarity. I probably know him better than most of the other players he interacts with and my read is there's absolutely no malice or begrudgery there. I think it's a bit of a storm in a teacup in the sense that if the comments were made in person it's unlikely any offence would be taken as it would be clear from the tone that none was intended, but it's the old story of tone and attempted humour not transmitting well online. Las Vegas is the most stressful time of year for the players who travel there, so we are probably at our most prima donnaish and prickly. Molehills can appear quite mountainous, and friendly humour can come across as someone taking a pop.
Cahal had a tough job trying to do updates from there relying on players themselves for the information, and it's great someone took on that job. He also strikes me as someone who is very willing to take criticism on board and people like that are the ones who tend to get better at their jobs over time.My poker blog - Doking around in cyberspace

Originally posted by Xeyboy View PostYeah he pissed the whole 80k stake away without playing an event.
Then announces he has a new separate stake for the main from a private backer and will pay everyone their stake back later.
Basically saying I'm deep in the main go fuck yourself to everyone.
He posted before the main began saying sorry I'm broke, only have 500 to my name, been offered a stake in ME, have to take it as its my last chance to refund you guys. Now he's this deep and lads are freaking out

Put it this way if you paid for 5% of his action and he goes in to ship it for 8 mill, how would you feel about not seeing any of the 400k you would be due
