100+ 20 freezeout.
16k starting stack with 25 min clock - 58 runners
built a stack of about 65k by the time we were down to the final 20.
then i went completely card dead for levels and got blinded down to 32k
Villain with 100k+ shoves AI UTG with QQ.
I have AK o/s and ship them in.
Flop is A 6 4
turn is a J
river is a 4% Q
so i hit the rails in 17th.
wasnt so much sickened by the 2 outer hiting as i was about the villains attitude.
when the A came on the flop, he was roaring about how "that's bullshit" and when the Q hit on the river, his celebration was way OTT and kind of in my face.
Ul, noticed you were really card dead at that stage, I was short stacked+card dead too, got a few shoves through to keep me alive but wasn't enough, was KO'd just before you when i shoved the ace rag for 31k in EP just as the blinds went to 2k/4k. Was it the same person who knocked you out as knocked me out?

Unfortunatley thats something i can do nothing about, i think the management felt it was a necessity for the tournaments to be cut a little short as they were running on far to long.
The thing is, the Star are not trying to compete with anyone in the area and they see it as a recreational night out for the players and of course footflow for the casino, the + side is; the crowd it attracts are all sound as a pound and as you will have noticed the field is ridic soft creating plenty of value.
If you can survive the structure and you are decent enough more times than not you will make the monies.
Anyway, hope you enjoyed it and gratz on cashing xDDisaster - Dreamcrusher

Did enjoy it and yeah it is ridic soft, but 35 quid freezeout doesnt interest me. You get cash going and I will be in there open to close every night possible.
At least the roulette machines are rigged in my favour. You arent a bad dealer, just bad at not giving me aces.
Anyway, where is the drink....

Was feeling shit about not getting visa extended the other day so decided to try drink away my misery last night, didnt work out as planned, so obviously head off to the strip club tonight. ended up getting 3 dances for price of 2, tells me the price and i go fuck id would be cheaper to go out and get ya drunk, she laughs and she gives me her number. result
apparently the golden rule is never go down on a stripper though, will have to remember that.

If there wasn't such a sick rake, ridiculous max buyins and terrible tournament structures the Crown casino would be an absolute goldmine.
Played a $65 phase 1 Aussie Millions sat on Friday which had a 2k starting stack, 20 minute clock, skipped 75-150, 150-300, slow dealers made for a mighty crapshoot. Bit of craic all the same. It's pretty funny seeing the exact same old degen characters from home but just speaking in an Aussie accent.
Got some cash games in last night while out on the piss, after pinging the old wheel of fortune on the 11/1 shot went down to the poker room. Got on a list for $1-$2 and $2-$3 but after finding out the $1-$2 game has a max buyin of $80 i went for the deepstacked max buyin of $150 into $2-$3. Was pretty quiet for a while and was starting to sober up so got a pint and said I'd leave when I finished it, whilst waiting for it this lol hand happened.
3 limpers and I made it $25 in the co with K8s, got one caller. Flop was 1032r he checks i cbet $30. He calls. Turn a 9 completing the rainbow, he checks I shove for $90 odd, he calls without much hesitation river was a 5. There was a bit of tension at showdown, he didn't seem happy. I declared my hand as K hi but he kept asking to see it first, I just told him if he can beat me to show his hand; went back and forth for a minute till I showed, he tabled the big QJo.

Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide to... View Postah, thought that Czech people didn't actually drink Absinthe? Got a nearly empty bottle that suggests otherwise. lol, the girl wasn't there, but i'd obv mentioned something about poker the previous night as when turned up in the pub they had the chips out and ready to play, with the landlord included - hence drinking till the early hours. (so funny to see Czech people say 'check' in poker - tried not to laugh though when all four of them would say check in near unison!) Sad to say i won (despite not wanting too) but obv gave the money back to pay for the beers. Turns out i might have a chance with the girl, which is interesting. We came back to the apartment and then started drinking the absinthe using some weird burning sugar thing. Providing today is actually still Sunday then it worked out quite well.
Plus you will probably feel like this when the hangover kicks in

The poker last night was pretty epic though. The lads who had been knocked out were looking at my cards whenever i bet in the heads up part and also looking at the other guy's hand, and i had the most woeful collection of cards. Don't know how they kept a straight face whenever i went all-in with 2-7, 3-8 etc. The other lad was folding A-10+ faceup each time."you raise, i kill you" El Tren :{)

first Leinster final in 9 years its been far too long - all together now
I've travelled many counties in Ireland
but there's still one I'm longing to see
it has been a part of my homeland
and it brings back fond memories to me
where I wandered alone in my childhood
reviewing the sights I once seen
as I walked through the parks and the forests
'round the beautiful county of Meath.
Oh, beautiful Meath, you've got all that I need,
your rivers they flow with delight
your fields are so green, there's plains to be seen
and your towns are so gay and so bright
fishing down on the Boyne, I remember the time
you would think it was all just a dream
and wherever you roam, there's no place like home
and the beautiful county of Meath.
I've seen Eire's beautiful castles
and it's history I've learned so well
I've read of the high kings of Tara
and the wonderful Book of Kells
where the slain still remember St. Patrick
he lit a fire for the people to see
'ere he brought love and kindness to Ireland
and the beautiful County of Meath.
Oh, beautiful Meath, you've got all that I need,
your rivers they flow with delight
your fields are so green, there's plains to be seen
and your towns are so gay and so bright
fishing down on the Boyne, I remember the time
you would think it was all just a dream
and wherever you roam, there's no place like home
and the beautiful county of Meath.

Muse were simply incredible last night.
The laser light show was unbelievable.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.

Czech or Modern Bohemian Method:
1. Pour a dose of absinthe into a glass, then place a sugar cube on an absinthe spoon or teaspoon.
2. Soak the sugar in absinthe by dipping it into the absinthe with the spoon or pouring a little absinthe over it.
3. Light the absinthe-soaked sugar on fire for about one minute, allowing the sugar caramelize and melt (This is not recommended because it can be extremely dangerous due to the high alcohol content which makes the absinthe very flammable). If an absinthe spoon is used, the burning, melted sugar should drip into the absinthe.
4. Dunk the still flaming spoon into the absinthe, which may then ignite.
5. Add ice cold water to the absinthe to quench the flames and produce the louche effect.
6. Use this method appropriately. Though frowned upon by some absinthe aficionados, this untraditional method has become popular in recent years. Absinthe with a high alcohol content will ignite more readily, but it is certainly not recommended that high-quality absinthe be set aflame.Last edited by Fuzzy Logic; 11-07-10, 12:15.

you take a teaspoon full of sugar, dip it in the glass of Absinthe till it soaks some up, take it out, light it and let it burn until the sugar dissolves.
You then stir the dissolved sugar into the drink

Lighting it might remove some of the harshness?

Not sure what is going on with me now. Think i got bit by a mosquito last night as on side of my head there was a bite and it was a little puffy. Wake up this morning and my eye is almost closed up as so swollen under eye lid and its pushed right out.
Obviously this is all related to the insect bite and not the fact I had two strippers rubbing themselves up against me last night. obviously
