Of course there was a need! It's a classic tongue in cheek post!

It wasn't me....although i might know something about the MrsEnzoScifo one from last week

No tongue in cheek is when you own up to something.

Fold AQo to a 3bet oop pre and you dont have the problem. Am I wrong? Does AQo beat most 3betting hands, early stages or not?

[ionapaul]

meh my image means i can't fold QQ to a 3-bet - so 4bettin all in and gettin snapped called and then QQ<AA - least i gave my chips to ionapaul AGAIN

I'm afraid I couldn't use them to get myself into a cashing position, unlike Monday - with about 14 left, blinds at 400/800 I found JJ on the Big Blind and called the Small Blind's all-in bet of 11k, I had about 16k. Obviously his A5 > JJ...same cards and relatively same situation when I went out of the Caesar's Mega Stack tournie I played in Vegas, but that time my equity in the event was fairly bigger! I was knocked out tonight in 10th, with only Tony and Myles left in the last longer.

don't think so, seems the few americans i've heard from can't connect atm either..

might be a good chance for me to finally get an early night

Tilt down for me too. Off to bed so!

[Sirtoyou]

there is obviously a gapping hole in the market for a reliable network to take over from ipoker

I hope that gapping hole doesn't fall into a gaping one.

Ship the LL

Managed to finish 4th for 360 which was a bit disappointing with a big jump to 610 for 3rd. Just couldn't eliminate the shortstack who went on a rampage to be about even or ahead of Buchan with BB Pat who knocked me out having most of the chips.

[BuChan]

got them back in ze end.

Just reading there that Brendan Burgess has got a regular slot on Pat Kenny discussing property.

Here are some quotes from this 'expert'

Sunday Times Money, 8 Mar 2009:

If you’ve a real need to buy now – for example, if you are starting a family – don’t allow the fact that your job is a bit uncertain to put you off. If the worst happens, the government has ordered AIB and Bank of Ireland to lay off homeowners in arrears for at least a year, while other lenders must give them a six-month breather.

RTE News, 16 September 2008:

"Irish banks are very well regulated, Irish banks are very sound..... [...] we're going to look back in a few years at the state of Irish banks [and ask] how did we not fill our shoes with those shares?"

AskAboutMoney.com post, 11 Oct 2009:

"People ask now why did we not listen to the economists who warned of the housing bubble and the economic crash? [...]. Their warnings were dressed up in such stupid, sensationalist language, that it would have been like taking the economic forecasts of the Sunday World seriously."

AskAboutMoney.com post, 22 Dec 2009:

The paperwork for money laundering is hugely inappropriate. Under the law, Charlie McCreevy would have had to provide a passport and two utility bills. Everyone in the Irish Nationwide knew him. I would have no problem with them not complying with this law.

[Laxie]

LeBron James has up and left Cleveland opting for Miami. I'm from Cleveland. Grew up there and watched while team after team 'nearly' got there. We're the most loyal fans you'd ever want to meet. Even when our teams are playing pure crap, we're still there cheering them on in hopes that some day - just maybe - they'll do well. We were very nearly there thanks to one of our own last season. We were gutted when the Cavs didn't take the lot last season. But now? Fans aren't gutted. We're feckin raging.

niccceee

what kind of telly you get???

Just the cheapest 42" Full HD they had. A Phillips, it's an improvement from my previous 32" Samsung HD ready though.

its the flash player on the PS3 browser.
Try stream it instead from your pc/laptop
Or you can hack your ps3 with linux

Yeah, I'll have to go back to streaming I suppose. I can't do the Linux hack cos I updated to 3.4 and they've removed the Add other OS option to counter Geohot trying to unlock it. Prob shouldn't have bothered now

I am currentlly addicted to The Wire after only 10 episodes, I got the boxset off a mate and its class, cant see me doing alot else but work and watch it for the next few weeks. I wanted to thank the BBV for harping on about it so much that I had to get my lazy ass to check it out.

I am also reading "Let the great world spin" on the back of a recommendation on this thread and its great too!

Just a quick question on the Big Brother talk, havent been following too closely but is Steve not a lock to win given his disability? what price is he?

[ArmaniJeans]

Just a quick question on the Big Brother talk, havent been following too closely but is Steve not a lock to win given his disability? what price is he?

Nah, the disability has failed the last couple of times. Verne (MiniMe) was oddson fav his entire time in the house, even up to the last day and finished 5th.

Blind Mikey was fav the first night, fav or second fav all the way through, odds on the final night and finished second.

You do need a bit of personality to go with the disability (Pete Bennett) and Steve doesn't have it.

Hence his drift from 2/1 to 10/1.

My favourite was when they made a rule in the overseas property forum that you could talk about overseas property in non-specific terms only.

So for example you could talk about Bulgarian property but not say Golden Palace Apartments in Sunny Beach as marketed by Larionova. This would be an insta ban.

[Lazare]

Who here would have the balls to try this?

I know I wouldn't

Got a friend request on FB this morning from some xenophobic racist wet brain calling himself 'Employ Irish'.

A 'dey tuk our jobs' merchant.

There's nothing I hate more than xenophobia and racism, show your disgust and click the 'report this person' for incitement to hatred at the bottom of the page.

Got your standard racist taxi driver last night, down at the end of Graton Street and there is this crazy drunk swaying all over the place, taxi's are moving up as one drives off guy kinda leans over this black guy's taxi and hocks up a massive spit on your mans bonnet, starts yelling "i will box the bleeding head of you you black bastard" keeps up spitting on said guys taxi and yelling all kinds of obscenities, imo the guy in the taxi done the right thing and didnt get out and make the situation worse, doesnt mean the drunk didnt deserve a smack!

So i ended up getting in a taxi with an Irish driver, ask's me how my night was and i proceed to tell him the story i just witnessed "ive no time for them, he probably deserved it, im not racist thou" just put my head down and said nothing.

Original is starting now on film four.

Hopefully gonna snag some tickets and go see it in The Screen Cinema on Monday night

Onto last nights poker, congrats on the LL Tony you can lord that over us for awhile, Raoul i think you done the right thing that other game never really got going, Eamon seems to be back with a bang, good seeing his face around, 5 of the lads in the LL on the one table , little sick to be first one out of the game, tried a couple of moves that just did work out.

Plus those two Greek chicks were a good bit of banter at the table

Anyone know does the Fitz Scalps game still get many runners or what is the best game to be playing this evening in Dublin

[Raoul Duke III]

Raoul i think you done the right thing that other game never really got going

the moral of the story is to get knocked out early!

[tipp86]

After my tables freeze, I log out and log straight back in, usually works if there's a problem on my end.

I get in no hassle and every game I was in had disappeared, the only stts or mtts there were of the 'registering' variety.

Perhaps it a default thing but jesus i'd been in a couple of mtts for 3hours+, and in a blink of an eye they're cancelled, just like that.

I was talking to a girl from Boylepoker who was pretty cool and was obv under alot of pressure from the hammering they were getting but she handled it v well in fairness to her and I realise it's not her fault.

Mildy annoying, ipoker must die.

I will remain respectful at all times to ipokers support crew as in fairness they have to put up with a lot and in the end i can understand that it is not there fault. I actualy feel any skin ive been with that the suppport crew have been A1.

Can anyone explain why Stella has the "wifebeater" reputation in Ireland (Dublin)? Is just because of it's strength?

It's an English thing afaik, more the low cost than high alcohol volume.

As with all "its a Dublin thing" 's it originated in England (Dublin rhyming slang)

Stella was dirt cheap in England in the 90's before rebranding itself as a "quality" beer
it was basically on the same shelf as Dutch Gold only much stronger, hence the name (went from 99p a can to £2.50/£3 ish over night)

business lesson of the day:
Rebranding a beer 101
How to change a beer from wife beater to classy drink for hawt French and burds and smooth French guys in fast cars

1. Trippe the price (tax changes may have had a small part to play)
2. Spend fortunes on adverts with hawt French burds and fast cars

Bulmers followed the same business model in the early 00's and people(wimmins) seemed to go for it
Flagon of bulmers =bad
longneck at twice the price of flagon = good

Were you in the LL
If not you owe me a tenner 'cause you should have been

Plus those two Greek chicks were a good bit of banter at the table

At least you had the balls to go and try to chat them up unlike some others who preferred to talk a great game from a safe distance ...

Sickens me.

[White Knight]

Yep paid Paul when I got in! I was 2nd out after tyler. Sick hand but pretty typical especially after a soul read to fold JJ to QQ for on a 8 high flop earlier.

Thinks thats us quits now in LL!!
