A nice little bounty and now into the final 4.


TID Flushy!!!

[TheImprover]

His connection is fkd, stars seems to be holding up for him

[CHDad]

RD has the most spectacular record of failed political betting ideas on IPB. He's comically bad at them. Most recent being agreeing with my guess of the polls being wrong for UK election. Almost exact words 'you've been played Horatio' on my losing bet with him on Tory seats <310. Or more long term our annual political and economic bets for last few years where he ALWAYS loses. The man is a consistent charlatan. A convincing charlatan though. Listening to him is like a bet in favour of a rising PaddyPower share price...

I know. Lottie is using wolfpack funds to pwn him.

gg m8, very nice score

[Flushdraw]

Cheers for the rail lads. A little dejected at the exit and the way the last couple of laps played out. Got into some cooler spots really considering it was short handed. Could have bust a couple of times before there, so not going to complain. Happy with the run, and played well for the most part. Gonna be a long day at the IPO tomorrow

[Denny Crane]

The international coverage of the referendum is highly positive!

Regret having a financial interest in this, find myself funking for any negativity rather than basking in what's happening. Also not around today for what's obviously gonna be a huge party.

[Denny Crane]

I have a bit on the no vote. Most of the people I work with are from this direction and for every yes vote there's a mother, father and aunt(s) voting no....I've backed a no vote and would still be confident

Think this is going to happen a lot:

Managed to convince my parents to vote yes after a bit of a struggle. Happy enough with that as couldn't vote myself (still in Philippines).

[mdoug]

Is this final table going to be replayed? There was one really big hand q86q6 board where it felt like he rivered a house vs ~10's.
mahmutt was down to 3mill and won a flip 44vsAQ then ran it back up to evens again and they just did a 42/41k with 6k for 1st on top of knockout bonus.

[ComradeCollie]

Jasus, the UK can have their general election counted (pretty much) hours after voting has finished, and here we are in a yes or no referendum, waiting for the first box to be opened!

Its great though. Gotta love the tallies, opening of boxes from rural areas and all the rest.

And more importantly you got past the 20k post. WP on both counts... That what I call doing it in style!

[MrsFlushdraw]

The wee one never gets up this early, fkn 8.30 she wakes after just about 3 hours sleep for us.
She was downstairs railing at 4 as she woke and I wasn't there, she was excited and wouldn't go back to sleep for ages.

Mind you, the adrenaline buzz should power us both for a while.

What a night

[Morihei]

Congrats both. Nice score.

[Raoul Duke III]

Will take Hilldog against you for a ton.
.

your Hilldog vs my 'everyone else'?

done if so

I think I open folded more small pairs/A9-A10s in that game that ever before. Some crazy ICM spots and yet I still go from 2nd to bust 4th with 4 left. IPO isn't going to be fun after 2 hours sleep. Rookie mistake not just staying up!

[KevIRL]

Landslide

[Raoul Duke III]

Landslide

not liking all this talk of record turnout from young urbanites

[Zod]

first box opened in Donegal SW 55% yes.

[Lazare]

Not one constituency so far voting No.

This is amazing. Gonna be a landslide. Great day to be Irish.

[Raoul Duke III]

first box opened in Donegal SW 55% yes.

fucking Daniel O'Donnell

[Guest]

RDIII, Denny and Hotspur confirmed busto

[Raoul Duke III]

PP at 64.5% now, nibbling at our margin of profit there

[Raoul Duke III]

Donegal Democrat @dgldemocrat 33s34 seconds ago
Tallies after 16 boxes in Donegal NE: 3047 Yes (55%) and 2501 No (45%).

this ain't good at all

[Lazare]

I've always felt the church was slipping into irrelevance and obscurity, it feels so good to actually see it proven. What a day.

[Guest]

Sickening the amount of cunts on social media looking for pats on the back for voting who didn't bother coming out when they had a chance to put Ronan Mullen et al out of work

[Denny Crane]

Rural tallies seem to be holding up well, there's still hope I wont be completely busto.

[Raoul Duke III]

Rural tallies seem to be holding up well, there's still hope I wont be completely busto.

68.5% is going to be tight, 66.5% I am not confident at all

Galway East I still have hopes for (these Donegal early counts are very promising in that regard)

[Silver-Tiger]

What a sweat you are getting.

[Denny Crane]

ah heyor

[Guest]

Congrats fd btw. Is tourney poker still going strong on stars? I don't play any more but from bits and pieces I'd heard I thought player numbers and prize money had gone way downhill plus way more competent regs/ less fish. Looking at the gtees and prizemoney for this scoop, still seems healthy. Is stars the only site still offering the chance to bink big?

[Guest]

Leitrim/roscommon leaning towards no so far

[Flushdraw]

ty Shane. I don't really play on stars because i'm such a fish on there, but still the biggest chance of a score by a long way. Stars.fr, Winamax, Party and I think 888 still get big prizepools but the days of anyone else competing are gone. Ipoker sometimes, but generally everything is a lot smaller, and most big games allow 4 x re-entries so it's just not the same.

Doke would probably play the biggest volume of medium/big buyin games across a range of sites, so he would have a better idea than me tbh.

[Raoul Duke III]

Leitrim/roscommon leaning towards no so far

Kerry South appears to be leading the way there

[horatio1]

Shirley it's time for a national Ghey day to be introduced, call it Saint Patricia day or something. Make it a moveable one so you could have it on the Mon / Fri when paddys day falls on a Tues / Thurs . It's a pain in the hole having to go to work on the Mon / Fri when it falls like that!

Young people of Ireland , I love you.

[The Situation]

If anyone's having trouble backing with PP I don't mind laying their current under 61.5% Yes at 5/6. Will take a liability of 1k.

I'm sick nobody took this a month ago when no was all the rage here

[Guest]

Just went to politics.ie for the first time in ages to check out referendum results thread

[LuckyLloyd]

Donegal bet in trouble as I suspected yesterday!!

[Denny Crane]

What a sweat you are getting.

Between the 10 con bets, and %, I don't think there's a sweat to be had tbh!

[Denny Crane]

Donegal bet in trouble as I suspected yesterday!!

The worst part of it is being somewhat dismayed at the result, rather than being really positive. Best way I've ever lost money anyway.

[DeadParrot]

Ardee/Louth looking a no

Leo Varadkar is a shoe in to be a future Taoiseach now imo

fucking Daniel O'Donnell

I did warn ye!

[White Knight]

How do you see that? Financially interested in TippSouth

#Marref has plenty of updates

[Guest]

How in 2015 do we have to wait for people to manually count 2 million scraps of paper before we know the result? How!?

[Hitchhiker's Guide To...]

[White Knight]

#Marref has plenty of updates

Can't see many updates for TippSouth but TippNorth look to be 60% yes at the moment

[Raoul Duke III]

How in 2015 do we have to wait for people to manually count 2 million scraps of paper before we know the result? How!?

because we fucking voted for that to be the way

democracy and all that

[The Situation]

I'd say the < 68% bets are still pure money though.

Yeah agree can't see how the current line could be greater than 2% wrong on either direction with so much info at hand now.

[Denny Crane]

Dublin tallies are 70%+ and that's most of the turnout.

[Guest]

We're all equal now, but pressing buttons, as a nation we're not ready for that yet.

Did we actually vote against using the machines? I thought there was just some gombeen related fuck up.

Even leaving out the electronic component, why cant the start counting straight away and have results for 8am the following day ?

[Lazare]

The drama of the count is great though, and all the coverage all day that goes with it.

I think a result at 11pm on polling day would be awfully boring.

[Tar.Aldarion]

I love an aul count, I love the US elections with all the states colours etc.

Congrats flushdraw on the score, like most always considered you the poker guy so well deserved. Enjoy the profits.

[Teddie]

The hype about the vote possibly failing has been a disaster financially it seems. Still delighted though.
