Not sure if it's really worth it tho. They only have 4 tournies a week now and all are pretty deep with low buyins. Blinds aren't that long but it would nice for them to have a bigger buyin, or a shorter stack game because putting in 4-5 hours to bubble or scrape the money is meh. The fact a lot of the players have no clue how to play a deepstack game tho makes it really profitable if they got the numbers but i think 31 players is pretty close to their top mark.
Wednesday - €30 freezeout - 8k
Thursday - €30 Double Chance - 7k + 6k
Friday - €40 freezeout - 16k stack
Saturday - €30 freezeout - 11k
Was browing the cash tables for a while last and they only had 1 going all night which kicked off about 10.30 which is pretty bad for a Friday. I'm not a big fan of cash but it's still a €1-€3 but i think the biggest stack was about €250 so might give that a go and see how it plays
The best part tho, is being able to park outside and jump in the car and drive home when it's over which is something i never had in Dublin!

made about 1400 in total so meh. Withdrew a lot so doom switch alert.
On POD in the Dunhill for a decent score at 40s. Is it really bad if I had Russia to beat Ireland at 13/8. I was still cheering for Ireland it was just a softener if we lost. bad time in the rep of I camp. the group of shite though.

Put the foot down on the Mullingar Bypass after a wee smile to myself but a delay behind two artics in Carrick on Shannon meant I still arrived at 11:11.

As soon as we got 5 handed they all said "so we're paying the bubble, great." because they do it every night. I was a decent chip leader but because it's my local now, i didn't want to object too much, i told them to leave 1st place alone and take money off 2nd/3rd/4th and we have a deal. Managed to take it down without too much bother.

The people of Grenoble really are mountain fanatics. in winter it's ski/surf every weekend, in summer it's climb/ abseil. They're all adrenaline junkies.

Go Skiing, Alpe D'Huez is about 1hour away. Nice resort. Les Dues Alpes is close too. In fact, most of the French resorts are withing driving distance. If you've never been before make it a staple of your time over there, season ends in early April.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.

Question for those with a smartphone: I bought a HTC Wildfire yesterday and am at a loss with it right now, going take me a while to get to grips with it. I have connected to the house wireless network but I've just checked my data balance and it seems to indicate that I've burnt through 500kbs of my monthly amount in a few hours of very light use (and without downloading any new apps) - I would have thought that while connected to a wireless network I wouldn't be eating into my network data balance at all! Can anyone shed a light on this? Is there anywhere on the device I can determine what order of preference the device uses to get its data from (I would prefer the device not to connect to the phone network for data while I'm connected to a wireless network obviously!)?
