Lol donkaments. Playing LAPT in Uruguay. First hand, blinds 50-100 stacks 20k, CO opens to 300, bb defends. Flop QJT w/ a fd, bb leads for 4k! CO shoves, bb folds lol

later on in tourney, blinds 300-600 75 ante, loose(passive/aggressive) donk limps utg, folds to me in SB I look down at QQ and make it 2.3k, utg re-raises to 8.7k. I'm thinking fml if he has AA/KK and shove in for about 30k he covers, and thinks for 2 minutes then asks how much it is. Once he's told he calls and snap shows his 22 proudly.

This could be the softest tourney field ever assembled. Lol south american fish imo.

[Zuroph]

WTF? GB1 just crashed massively, yet BBC are showing the delayed footage so no mention!

[AdMMM]

Just tuned in to see GBR doing it wrong!

Cheers hard luck. Yeah I have 72k average is about 35k or something, next level is 500-1k with 100 ante

The 1k tourney on friday will be the value too so you may as well play if you can now that you're out of the ME

best of luck 2mro, would hav said hi today if i knew wat you looked like

[CHDad]

Lucio was absolutely astonishing tonight. One of the great performances.

This, was great. Despite his Italian fucking diving.

[CHDad]

I doubt we'll be seeing chd for a few days. It's always hard for him to get over a Chelsea defeat

And with Cech's season over, 2 players under the media eye and a few injuries, there goes Chelsea's hope of winning the league. I know Cech hasen't been great since his head injury but Hilario is dreadfull all together.

All this means it's looking a lot like 4 titles in a row for United

CHD goin nowhere buddy , especially while he has a axe to grind. Dont cross him.

[Guest]

Ahead of the aussies. Yay.

5/4 with PP today for us to beat them overall.

[Flushdraw]

So i went in to see what John Scanlon's new place in the Atari Expo in Omni is like and played the €40 game. It was like being back in Breaks again!

The layout is very nice, and it's not cramped at all with plenty of room. Tables and chips are good and free beverage on hand. Tournie kicked off shortly after 8pm and i didnt recognise any players at the table. It was like being in a pub game.

The game was a 7k starting stack with 20 min blinds and all levels included. I said that i'd scribble down some of the hands i played/saw and let you make up your own mind whether it's free money or not!

Blinds 25/50 - I raise to 300 with AK after 2 limpers, get called in 4 spots. I bet a Q83 flop and get called twice, then Ep leads out for 3k on the turn when the 3 pairs.

A couple of hands later, i raised to 700 with AK from BB after 6 limps. Get called in 3 spots. Flop comes Q104r. SB jams for 4400. I fold and UTG calls. SB has J10, UTG has J9

Blinds 50/100 and 2 guys in a pot. Flop is KJ9. BB leads for 400, and MP calls. Turn is a 10. BB leads for 2km and MP ships for 5k and turns over J10 like its the nuts after BB folds.

Blinds 75/150. Guy minraises to 300 and gets 1 caller. LP ships for 5500. Button instacalls the 5500. Other 2 fold. It's 55 for LP and the might KJo for the button.

Blinds 100/200. I raise UTG to 500 with 87s. Button jams for 14k and gets called in 1 spot. It's 55 up against Ak this time.

UTG minraises to 400. LP minraises to 800. UTG calls. They go a bit crazy on a Q high board with 99 claiming the honours.

I stopped taking notes after that!

Cash game was gift aswel. I only came with 1 bullet so bought in for 100 which covered the table . Spun it up to 350 playing hands like this. I limp the button with Q8 after 4 limpers. Flop comes 568. Checked to me, i bet 6. I caller in SB.Turn is a 2. He checks, i bet 16 and get called. River is a J, he checks, i value bet 27 and he calls. My Q8 is good.

I manage to donk off 200 but still finish slightly up on the night. I'f advise anyone to go along to give the tournie's a go, and defo the cash games!

Their Friday game is a juicy looking €65+5 game with a 7k starting stack and a 40 minute clock. It's an 8 o clock start and has all levels included along with antes. If i was in Dublin, i'd defo be playing it.

[Maloney]

Watched the HU in that IO Sat

LOL just LOL

Yeah watched that meself lol To think the winner will play the Irish open lol

Sounds pretty similar to most play in regular Dublin club tourneys!

Whenever you say Omni. Is this the omni shopping centre when you are heading towards the airport from the city centre?

[AdMMM]

Just spotted the Oxegen 2010 line up now. I think it still has potential but will definitely be green campsite if I'm going, for safeties sake, or else I'll opt for Electric Picnic instead.

Am i wrong in sayin if you lock up a ticket excitedly now for Oxygen you are a bit of a twat? Just asking.

Am I getting old? Surely not.

[BrianByrne]

Nah things can change and acts can drop out just weeks before schedule!
a lot of people get there ticket a christmas without any prior knowledge of that the lineup even is!

i aint got mine yet, will wait another month or two, still not sure if ill be goin.

[a-k-47]

yeah aussies were last, no 4th run

[CHDad]

Fuck that so we beat the Oz cunts I'm drinking tomorrow

Ole Ole Ole Ole Ole Ole

[BrianByrne]

So I am right?

depends, many go with friends year after year just for the event itself and the social aspects of it all, so the acts aren't too much of a concern..so xcitidley buying a ticket now for those reasons would not make you a complete twat

however, if you go for the bands, and have certain taste in music, and buy your ticket early in hopes your favourite artists will be there..then in that case. you could possibly be a complete twat! xD

No snow here yet in Donegal but my parents woke up to 9 inches off it today (In Scotland). There was 4 when they went to bed!

Think I will head to Asda now and stock up! where we bought the house gets snowed in easily

[Wesley Harms]

lol because ill be there? I doubt it. You do know i've already met about 25+ boardsies at various live events around Ireland don't you?

Would you be willing to take a beating from a pack of boardies. I'm sure if everyone got to give you a few kicks and slaps then the animosity toward you would subside a bit

[careca]

This, was great. Despite his Italian fucking diving.

I know all teams have them (divers) but the look on Drogba's face towards the end when Lucio dived. It was like he was saying "fuck sake man, you dived there, its pathetic". I got a right laugh out of it.

[careca]

Money Back Raoul Duke ???

According To Pete is to revert to hurdles for his next race after missing Saturday's Blue Square Gold Cup at Haydock.


"He's fine, it was nothing major that forced him to miss Haydock. That ground (heavy) wouldn't have suited him anyway," said Jefferson.

"He might go to Doncaster next week for a 0-140 handicap.

Yeah that was funny alright, although in fairness to Drogba he has stopped the ridiculous stuff he was at and imo become a much better player because of it.

Hes a fantastic player alright. Still goes down a bit too much for my liking, but as I said, all teams have them and its part and parcel of the game at this stage.

retrospective red cards for:

• diving
• rolling around like a shot antelope after diving
• coming within a 3 metre radius of the ref
• speaking to the ref without calling him 'SIR' (works for rugby)

imo

are you flirting with Mrs Flushdraw?

[wendelsailor]

can you buy like VIP tickets to festivals like Oxegen/EP at inflated prices to get access to the nicer campsite/toilets, or do you have to know someone?

You have to buy an ordinary ticket to the red/blue campsite and then you buy whatever accommodation you want in the green campsite which gives you access to the VIP area. I did this last year and to be honest i dont think I could slum it in the favelas ever again.

The access to showers/nicer toilets and the food stands in the green campsite just makes everything a lot more enjoyable & convenient. Chances have of having some maniac running around your campsite with a flamethrower is slim as well as there is private security around the green campsite.

Fifa general secretary Jerome Valcke was discussing the Portsmouth situation. I didn't realise just how serious the debt in the Premier League was.

The figures show the total debt of the Premier League clubs as being £3.4 billion, 56% of the total across Europe. Premier League clubs' assets are £3.8 billion, accounting for a 48% share of the assets among all European clubs.

the economics of the Premier League are terrifying

Flannery is appealing
He deserves a longer ban for having the cheek to appeal. In all fairness it was disgraceful, he should have just accepted it and moved on.

Ireland's Jerry Flannery will appeal against the six-week ban which has ruled him out of the remainder of this season's Six Nations.

Flannery received the ban last week after being found to have kicked France's Alexis Palisson in the game in Paris on 13 Feburary.

The Irish hooker's appeal is expected to be heard next week.

A cross appeal has been lodged by the Six Nations disciplinary officer which could mean the ban being lengthened.

I'd say about £2.4bn of that is just five clubs though.

Off the top of my head (and not following football). Last three are a pure guess:

Man U: £700m - very safe
Chelsea: £400m - fake debt for tax reasons, Abra covering it / converting it to equity
Arsenal: £300m - very safe, incurred to build their stadium, covered by ticket sales
Liverpool: £500m - very safe
Man C: £500m - very safe

That leaves a billion between the remaining clubs and most of that debt is for building stadiums. e.g. Sunderland probably have another £150m of 'safe borrowing'.

^ figures above could be crazily wrong though!

why do you say they're 'very safe'

Man U just issued £500m of junk bonds! coupon on these is 9% - the coupon on some of the original Glazier debt is over 14%

Am off to Thailand on Saturday have to spend 2 days in Bangkok.

Can anyone recomend something to do that doesn't involve

• Ping Pong balls
• Munting
• Melching
• Ladyboys

Ciaran

Spent a few days there myself, we done a boat tour on our first evening which was pretty cool and very informative, can't remember the name tho there are quite a few going about. Also, you have to check this place out for eats of an evening, not overly expensive but well worth it for views and food.
