lol so weird talking about debts re poker. I was never on the scene that long and even when I was I never played that high but last week I was trying to remember how the books balanced. I think overall Im owed just over 2.5k which is small in comparrison to most people but considering my level of busto student poverty it would be absolutely huge to have that now (obv written off as bad debt).

Iv been tapped up at the cash desk a few times after a couple of semi decent scores and tapped up after doing well in cash games - both are equally annoying and I think in hindsight a non "lending" policy is best.

I dont agree with lending to friends either though they are the nut worst at paying back debt especially over bets and stuff and at the end of the day it would just put a strain on your friendship. Just listening to all these stories it makes me think that a debt collection agency specific to the poker community would have plenty of business

Prob to late on this MSN. I have a set of spoons that have the cups sizes on them. Fantastic things they are for baking. 1 cup = 235ml

Before I had them, when I was measuring a cup, I would use an old fashioned tea cup as they were the type my mum and grandparents used to measure a cup. It actually makes calculating for baking very simple and no need for scales. I should pick up a set for you of the spoons!

Here is something like what I have, mine are on a ring you can clip then on and off

Whither it's right or wrong isn't really the point it's ridiculously common for regular players to owe each other serious amounts of money during just the normal process of being involved in the scene, be it staking, money from swaps, general gambling winnings and losses, and loans chopped action etc.

I've given up a while ago, I was getting way more tilted then I have ever been from being owed money.

On the whole money lending/outing thing when I first started playing poker it was the first thing I noticed and was so alien to me at the time. I wrote a blog on it http://spencerjamespkr.blogspot.com/...les-money.html

nearly 5 years later, always cringe looking back on old blogs but think I can stand behind this to some degree.

No wonder you are owed money with those maths skilz, june 08-now= 5 years...

[Lazare]

Why do you think everyone hangs around the jackpot after they get knocked out of the cash league final? It's because they want to be first in line to either a) reclaim their dough should a debtor go deep or b) borrow some dough ahold a Mark go deep.

All in the game yo.

Ugh, how depressing.

Between that image, that insect Starrbar and that fitzy idiot I'm so glad I'm done with the poker scene.

I think we should pick a low buy in tournament some time relatively soon and we all go and play/drink.

I agree with that apart from the poker aspect of it.

[Zod]

or just go drinking imo

yes, that is a good idea too, but preferably not one where

a) I forget how to walk

and b) doesn't end up in coppers/diceys.

[Icarus152]

Seconded.

Beer is defo required.Happily skip the poker either.

[The Situation]

Tori Amos starts in goal for Utd tonight. De Gea apparently ill hmmmm!

[Icarus152]

Would love a session in one of Dublin's micro brewerys or at least someplace with a selection of foreign beers.

[Bubbleking]

Im barred from Diceys so either wait long enough so that they forget my face or pick another fine establishment - may I suggest the Woolshed?

Do they not know you're a big deal on the internet?

[Downtown]

Woolshed for IPB Superbowl?

[Sledgejammer]

Woolshed for The Superbowl is insane, and the game has only increased in popularity over last year if anything. Last year you could barely breath in the place, and anyone who's ever been in a crowded Woolshed will know they have a seriously lacking air conditioning solution when the place has any sort of above average numbers.

[Bubbleking]

Im pretty sure I let them know during my ejection

[Guest]

No but you might well be. You're either too young or too stupid to pick up what I was getting at.

Like having to expalin a joke, takes all the good out of it

LOL

Cant figure out if you are loving it or negative...Sounds like a great spot to me from your description

[Bubbleking]

Iv been to the woolshed the last couple of years for the Superbowl and its been immense. Just get in early and grab a seat and have some food/cheap pitchers while you wait. Im going there again this year anyway so it would be cool to have a few IPB heads knocking around

[Guest]

Ah jesus its not that bad.
Some decent people in poker scene cant judge everyone on couple of gimps.
I met some scumbags from Tallaght before wouldnt stop me going out there again.

The last jackpot cash league i was involved in me MickSte KK82 and James english guy been about ages chopped lions share.

Not one person came near us now was not huge money 2k each roughly.
And we had few drinks upstairs

famously one super degen lip- mick or something won jackpot league for 5500 and owed everyone in sight loots but went across playing blackjack and done the lot.

[NewApproach]

Can't get my head around the tapping up scene in poker. What's wrong with just saying no ffs?

There's on guy in particular I think of who owes pretty much every one of the regs in the area money in one degree or another. People were almost proud to say "na, he owes me waay more, €xxx". When I was asked I obv said "eh, nothing". Why the hell would I give some degen fish a lend of money? GTFO imo.

Wow my bad read that last thread wrong!!

[Sledgejammer]

Depends on your preference

I've watched 3 Superbowls there, a few champions league finals and the world cup final so I guess I find it a positive, but many would hate it. The pro's are the atmosphere will be about as good as a pub could possibly be and the food/drink are quite reasonable, good location too, loads of screens and no danger of being kicked out before the end. The con's are you'll sweat like you've never sweat before, you'll struggle to move anywhere, getting served is pretty tough, getting a table to eat said food on is almost impossible, you'll need to be there early to be guarenteed entry and I really can't emphasise enough how warm it'll be, the smart people will be in shorts and a t-shirt regardless of the weather. Weigh it up I guess.

[Downtown]

WTF? where did he mention you unless you answer to both gimp and Fitzy which I guess is possible

I'd appreciate it if you didn't mention my name in order to avoid unnecessary conflict....ok

German legalisation of Brothels results in interesting benefits problem; If offered work as a prostitute, and refuse, a woman's benefits can be stopped.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...-benefits.html

That's a disgrace

Clearly the only way of dealing with such shite is to open a brothel and call it "The Joy Division" or "The House of Dolls"

See how quickly they change that law

Several Dublin degens used to regularly do the rounds looking for a loan. A couple still owe me money but using the same principle as Nicky, I don't mind. 1 is in jail now though, 1 is dead and one is Frank Hunt. Think repayment is equally likely in all 3 cases.

the recession has bit deeply when "any chance of a oner" is now "any chance of a tenner"

one thing i will say for Frank is he will look after you - he fixed my car door and wouldnt accept the amount i offered him as payment, would only take half and i was fairly insistent he take the full amount. Plus hes a nice funny old soul.

there is no upside to lending usually - i dont like doing it and will do it rarely and never to
a degen

Please excuse my blunt honesty, and I mean to cause minimal offence, but I think you are an idiot. For me you represent all the morons you meet at Irish poker tables, you are the perfect stereotype.

Vastly over inflated sense of your poker playing abilities and an incredible ignorance of good etiquette.

Add to that your horrible reactionary posting style and I reckon I can safely say you are an idiot.

No offence.

Sporting game this Sunday has <0% chance of getting 3 tables I assume given the sporting line up? Pity...

Mcgowans have a 28 foot tv showing it.Will be busy but enough room and the bonus of alot of easy teachers/nurses etc.
