Anyone consider that they are slightly addicted to this website? I mean ok its not a huge addiction and it relatively harmless but an addiction all the same.

If IPB ran a sportsbook and a hamster section the rest of the internet could be turned off imo.

Live near airside, fairly sure it's going ahead. By god that casino will have a rough crowd though.

Maybe they've called and you haven't heard them.

[The Aul Switcharoo]

Not aware of the stack sizes but this sounds like a call to me unless the sitout was very short.

Sitout had 2BB. Had 20 BB when started sitting out so wasn't coming back. Chippy had about 60, I had 20, other 2 had ~13 or 14. It's basically been pre flop poker robbing his blinds and we were guaranteed a decent pay jump if we waited 2 more hand. UTG with 14 Bigs shove - I'm next with JJ and fold like a nit. Bad or just nitty?

Snap call. You will still have circa 6bb if you lose and still should make the pay jump. Win the hand and you jump 2 spots almost certainly

Jesus that's an awful fold

Jesus that's an awful fold

In hindsight it was a bit bad but hardly awful. I know looking back on it I had kind of that mentality when I was thinking about folding. I had been chipping up pretty well. Got really short on the final table twice due to bad flipaments at the start and this probably affected my thought. What was sick though when we got four handed I was second in chips and got in against villain for practically a guaranteed 2nd and a good stack against the chippy and got 3 outered

Also learned to tell housemate to GTF to bed when I'm playing poker. Tilted me no end trying to get me to do stupid stuff, also cost me 1/3 of my stack earlier on the final table when I listened to him and made a loose call and had to fold to a reshove

A question for the BBV.

I'm looking to store exhibition boards in the Waterford area. There are eleven 8'x4' boards and the supports required for them.

They are in a storage unit ATM but the cost is killing the club tbh. We don't need a storage unit. Just somewhere dry, clean, and secure.

I seem to recall Iron Mountain having a warehouse in Slieve Rua which would be ideal but I am on hold for flippin' ages with them now and getting bored of it!

Any help much appreciated.

[Wesley Harms]

I'm sticking with awful. You folded a group 1 hand with the opportunity to jump 2 pay spots and accumulate a big stack to try win the thing when you were not in danger of being knocked out and still could have coasted to the to a pay jump even if you lost.

[mcnugget]

I'm with Finkel on this one, as he says even if you lose you're almost certain to make the pay jump, different story if the utg shover covered you...

[NuckChorris]

Clapham is good, lots of pubs. I have vague memories of being in a place nearby called the swan that was open v late. O'Neill's in Leicester Sq good craic too, very templebar like

O'Neills seems to def be the best place in central London. When there a few years ago we were told to go to the Swan, that it was the Coppers of London. Went out and had a good but blurry night. Anyway I got back to hotel ok but mate was a couple of hours behind me and was robbed outside it. Was very drunk so prob an easy target but robbed of wallet, watch, phone and shoes! Dunno if area still dodgy but be a little careful there at least. Pretty sure it was near stockwell (or similar name) and we say on Sky News the next morning that someone had been stabbed to death there the same night. Made the loss a bit easier to take!!

Wonder is it anywhere online or repeated wouldnt mind looking at it since i was at it.

"Setanta Sports Ireland will air the documentary on Wednesday 2 May, while international broadcasters in Australia, Africa and Setanta Sports' Asian network will air it in May and June. It will be broadcast on The Poker Channel and Sky 204 next month."

Cheers Tony. Can't seem to finish my dinner on that ipoker a/c(in the bigger mtts anyway). Those 2 + an FT on micro = a 5 figure profit on the day. Good start to the month

Seems like you never lost it

They're putting the lid on Rangers coffin by the looks of things.

http://www.celticquicknews.co.uk/?p=8878

"At a media conference a few minutes ago Rangers administrators Duff and Phelps today told the world they have accepted the only unconditional bid got the club, from American Bill Miller. Mr Miller plans to start a new company to operate his ‘Rangers’ franchise. Duff and Phelps had the affront to suggest that the old club, established in 1872 and incorporated in 1899, would somehow manage to convince HMRC to accept a CVA, despite there being zero money available to them.

This will not and cannot happen. The last chance to save Rangers Football Club has gone.

Unfortunately for the UK taxpayer, they are about to take a bath for around £75m worth of medicines, school books, Help for Heroes and care services as Rangers spent all their tax money chasing football trophies."

It's heading towards no further penalties for Rangers, new owners start new company with clean slate, but keeps name, ground and place in SPL. All for the greater good of Scottish football.

Not so much for the greater good of the British exchequer.

what am i missing? - greywolf posted their advert a few posts back; definitely seems like them, what with having the same name and all?!

I'd say it's the lot on the thread on front page of the boards.ie poker site, who've just discovered a training course for croupiers and will report back when they research it further.

some week for you in fantasy! thought i may catch you but you and Eagle left me in your Dust

Thank god for the Finkles of the world

[hotspur]

Thanks for saving me the trip so! Have anything you'd recomend to read on the area, always interests me.

I think I recall you asking some time ago, so I dunno if you read what I might have suggested before.

I would recommend starting with the book that kicked off the field Authentic Happiness by Martin Seligman (the founder of the field):

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Authentic-Happiness-Psychology-Potential-Fulfilment/dp/1857883292

Then I would download Tal Ben-Shahar's Positive Psychology lecture series from Harvard. Cousins should be able to help you with that, titled Harvard - Tal D. Ben-Shahar - Psychology 1504 - Positive Psychology.

Beyond that I can suggest our own Alan Carr's book on the field which gives an excellent overview of it. It is quite academic:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Positive-Psychology-Science-Happiness-Strengths/dp/041560236X/

Then a couple of practical guides by Barb Fredrickson:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Positivity-Groundbreaking-Research-Release-Optimist/dp/1851687904/

And Sonja Lyubomirsky:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/The-How-Of-Happiness-Practical/dp/0749952466/

Get the club to write to the Corpo's Arts Officer (Conor Nolan?), they've taken over alot of the empty spaces in the 'Viking Triangle'. Worth a punt imo.
