Anyone got a structure they could suggest? It's a charity poker tournament for 40 people - thinking of going €30 buy-in plus one €20 topup plus one €20 add-on.

Hoping somebody could help me out with starting stack and structure ideas? I'm sure some people on here would be able to help / have done this before?

Thanks.

.

3k/4k rebuy/ 5k add-on, 20 min blinds

25/50
50/100
75/150
100/200
(chiprace 25's) break
200/400
400/800
800/1600
1000/2000
2000/4000 etc

TOL keeps his place
Unchanged other than Heaslip in for Leamy.

France by 12, Deccie's old boys club continues.

France for grand slam

puke, TOL should be gonzo and replaced by Stringer.

Should have given D'Arcy a kick up the hole too (eh, if we had a replacement that is ). No way should an international 12 of his calibre have 4 knock-ons in one game. O'Driscoll is allowed a bad game I suppose.

in fairness, I wouldn't have messed around with the pack much. Healy is the future, Best did OK, Ross is our best in the position at scrumtime, O'Callaghan was OK, O'Connell needs games, O'Brien needs a run in the team.

Wallace will be closely watched this weekend.

get well soon notes to Messrs Bowe and Ferris. And maybe Kearney although I've suspected that the way the game is going doesn't suit him.

[The Situation]

@ rugby experts, just looking at the wooden spoon market. What do we make of Wales 4/1 or 5's with b365 to finish bottom. Two away fixtures against their closest rivals Scotland and Italy for the honour of getting the spoon. From my limited knowledge they looked like a shambles at the weekend.

[SatNav]

Sounds pretty doable, if you can make any sort of stab at it I'm sure there are a good few people on here who can help you along.

ooh believe me from my point of view its not doable, im so bad at it!! just gonna copy off someones usb and change it around a bit.

This is a big mistake IMO and I cant see the thought behind it. quick clean ball will be incredible important on sat. French back row will absolutly destroy TOL when he picks the ball up and has a think and wander around while trying to decide what he wants to do next.

[Emmet]

Mistakes kidney made

TOL at 9- stringer/redden to play 60/20 split either way
Wallace at 7 - Leamy at 6 and SOB at 7 insanely preferable!
P.Wallace on the bench - Trimble covers more positions, playing much better too.

Ffs

Also, Italy wooden spoon for sure, although punting Wales for Wooden spoon then punting Wales vs Italy in the h2h could be interesting.

Oh for fucks sake, it's getting like O'Sullivan all over again.

I wonder if Heaslip will play 6 or 8.

and due to the Mermoz injury, we're reverting to IMO a better balanced team with Traille in the center and Poitrenaud at FB

[The C Kid]

I'd have played Jennings at seven, and SOB at six, don't think you need three abrasive runners in a backrow like you would have with Leamy playing instead of Wallace.

Wallace would be about my sixth choice back-rower at the moment.

Bp-me
any other people around the Waterford area..jesus even lol Wexford people

Few pints before Mullanes pub game(25 snots in), crush some souls, then more pints and burger king for Icarus.

Tonight..the game is at half 8 so if we meet at 7 for a couple of pints. Anyone interested..pm Icarus or post here

I shall have to abstain, you girls have fun though.

[RichieM]

I dont know about that. I think that these are the 2 bottom teams by quite a distance. In the current setup with Hook stuck at full back and the Italians killing them up front and in rome I could see the Azuri coming out on top. Not to sure how much I fancy sticking on but it is a bet I will be looking at it

[eoghan104]

yes

Model for the bench though......

Agreed, but kidney would never pick that backrow, I was trying to appease his blindfold for Jennings

Hook playing 10
Byrne at 15
R. Jones at 8

Gatland made the right swaps

In that case not a good bet and I have saved myself some money.

Oblivion is horribly dull too imo. Fallout 3/Fallout New Vegas are better options.

I wouldn't recommend doing this tbh. I done it for 2 years before it caught up with me and they have programs to check for this. But I met the TA in town one night and he said they never used bother.
We had to do a Java project in groups of two, a sodoku editor and error checker. So we got the code from someone else and took out some features. Then we had to a presentation and explain what parts of the code did. The other guy didn't show up, so I said I didn't have a copy of the project. Still passed though

Not playing Stringer is a disgrace actually.

I can just hear what he would say to you now, and it wouldn't be pretty

[Emmet]

Wasn't even in contention. Not included in training squad.

Kidney leavin a sour taste in my mouth.

Call me crazy, but I reckon the fact he isn't on an IRFU contract at present puts him at a disadvantage. If Kidney was starting Stringer (which he should be on current form and fit) regularly he might be getting significant administrative pressure...

[ionapaul]

Mostly I'm in it for the relieving the work stress, therefore more caves/ruins/forts = more enemies = more killing = reduction in stress levels

It's on my list as is Fallout:LV but I'm delaying both because I'm swamped in work at the moment and sitting up until 2/3am playing games isn't going to help much.

I've over 50 hours of Fallout: New Vegas logged at present, but have decided it is time to finish up with the game as I've loads of others bought in the last Steam sale that I need to get stuck into. I will probably be done with about 60 hours logged; have already finished the game using 1 of the many endings, want to try out two more (each ending involves different quests) then try to forget how awesome the game is for a while!

[Emmet]

It not crazy, that's the simple truth.

Central contracting can be a disaster! Hayes still has one, has to be the only reason he's even holding tackle bags at this stage.

Sigh, having a very tough week online, just not staying ahead in 50/50, 60/40, 70/30 and 80/20s it seems like! Have hit so many crossbars I'd be a fcuking legend on Soccer AM...then this, why does it always happen against someone with a 5% rating on OPR?!!! I see BigMickG in the same tournie, hopefully he gets some run good.

Given HAS to save that Mendieta penalty eventually surely...How does it go in!?

[Silver-Tiger]

I fucking despise Shane O Donoghue. His agent should be awarded a medal.

[NewApproach]

France -2 is 10/11. Am I missing something here, or is this a lump job?

[Keane]

Almost all of our missed penalties were ridic far from the corner IIRC. Sick thing is Casillas doesn't really get anywhere near the ones that go close to the corner, he barely moves for any and steal saves a couple.

[The Situation]

Sigh we're out.

Forgot how good Duffer was in his pomp!

[Sledgejammer]

Yeah, and in fairness, when you look at David Connolly and Kevin Kilbane stepping up it's perhaps not that shocking it ended up like this...

Frisk was a quality ref too, that last minute penalty decision was incredibly brave and very few refs would have given it. Shame it ended up the way it did for him.

I'd rather see Reddan get a go.

[Emmet]

I'd rather give it a shot myself than TOL, I played 9 in school, captained the junior thirds.

Probably give it a good go compare to that waster anyway.

Reddan/stringer both way preferrable to him!

Dont forget Issac Boss.

[Denny Crane]

How depressing is it that in my constituency voting on boards.ie 49% of the first choice preference votes have gone to Roisin Shortall & Dessie Ellis.

Labour and SF it is then!!

Overall FGT have 32% of the first preference vote with Labour second on 25%

FG wont get a seat, it's one lab one sf and a flip between pat and the second lab for the third seat.

[Emmet]

Dont forget Issac Boss.

Not the right game for him IMO, Italian game would've suited him, but French too good to get sucked in by his fringe play.

He's just a cloned TOL with a better pass and even worse kicking, but has been playing better than him alright!

[Zuroph]

Sorry I stuck in the wink face to try and show I was messing, he would get crucified by the french indeed. Has had a good season tho. I would have had a preference for Reddan as we should be playing injuries aside our first choice 15 for the WC. Kidney is smart enough to know this so maybe he is planning on using TOL all the way through. reason I would go with Reddan is he is playing with sexton and our best back row setup every week so should have better communication setup I know you cant just run with this and a fully fit Ferris will feature for us during the summer. Stringer as the professional he is obv can play off them no probs also but TOL im not a fan of at the moment.

You did a bit of looking into standard media players when you were researching building your own I assume?

Any idea what would be a good pick in the 100-150 range?

For anyone interested, Sporting Fingal have pulled out of the Setanta Cup and there's currently crisis meetings going on where apparently Buckley told the players the situation is grim. So further to what was discussed earlier it really looks like the end is very very near for Fingal, could be news in the next day or two.

Actually it just broke on twitter via Tony O'Donoghue the players contracts have all been terminated, so it looks like either turn amateur and get hammered every week or wind up, and given their lack of support if they went the first way there'd really be no recovery so I'd expect this so be official very soon. Always sad to see an LOI club in this kind of shape, but the stupidity of the project and sheer inevitability of this makes me feel far less sympathy than usual.

If they had gone along the lines of the Wexford route they might have had a chance

letting kids in for free as they were, with a small wages outlay, in a few years they MIGHT have had a base!?
