Any indication that Ireland might be seen as an exception?

Out of interest, how would one work out that the bank shares are implying specifically this?*



*(secretly takes notes for future classes)

They did it by using current market cap versus book value from the recent stress tests. The difference in valuation they said was due to a probability of writedown of the govt bond assets from the PIIGS countries by the markets in the event they were kicked out of the euro and their bonds were overnight devalued by half. A very crude simplistic method in some ways but the big picture analysis was striking as a result.

They didn't see Ireland as anyway special, it was more a case of if only it is Ireland, Greece and Portugal then it wouldn't cost too much. If Italy and Spain get pushed out then all bets are off.

Meh it's one research firms theory but it resonated with me for some reason....

HELP FROM NFL FANS PLEASE

Right lads with the season starting on Sunday i am looking for some advice. I intend to watch all the Browns games(ye i know) and I'm wondering what is the best way to go about it. Watched them all on atdeh. net last term as i found it the most reliable but as that is now gone i wanna pay for a good quality stream. The pre-season streams were awful and i am willing to pay a few pound.

Would you recommend paying the big bucks for game pass?
Do Flash SS show the games? Could someone check their schedule for me?

I have a ps3 and i am looking to stream them through this.

Is this possible?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

[Sledgejammer]

My parents want some kind of device to hook up to their TV that'll allow them to both connect a hard drive too and watch downloaded movies on AND have a flash enabled browser for watching streams off of websites like liveonlinefooty. Streaming it on the computer and using something like tversity is not an option. Anyone know off hand of anything that'll do this for a price of ~150 euros? Are PS3s anywhere near that price these days if you don't get any extras at all?

[Angry-Ball]

weirdest ft ever of a 45man sng,
there was one huge chip leader everyone else has about 4bbs~. so everyone is waiting for the other guy to get knocked out to try and make the money, monster stack is just open shoving ATC and everyone keeps folding with an odd guy getting lucky evry now and then. i barely scrope over the line with 42 chips left at 800/1600 blinds.
i then went on to finish 2nd

Not sure if FSS show all of the games, but atdhe is back now at atdhenet.tv

FSS will have all the Sky Sports running though and ESPN in America, but whether they'll show any extra games I'm not sure. The schedule doesn't have them down for this sunday anyway.

I've just watched a few episodes of The Big Bang Theory and its been really funny, have generally avoided it cos I assumed it was shite. Worth a proper look or have I got lucky?

[Mellor]

You certainly never said 'two wrongs make a right', but you certainly did reference (repeatedly) the fact that Boyle's actions mirrored Connoly's, as though this should have been a factor in the referee's decision to send Connolly off.

Again, I really don't have a problem with the red card being overturned, but the only part of Boyle's behaviour that is relevant to that discussion is his attempt to con the ref.

You still don't get it. It was a series of rhetorical questions, to highlight that the two handed shove should not have been a factor in the sending off, and could be ignored for the purpose of review.
Had he approached him and shove him a few times unprovoked before striking him then the shoves are part of the context. But because of Boyles provocation and equal shoves, they can be ignored and the single strike isolated.

The 3 strikes arguement is bollox, and in isolation, the single strike and the faking injury in no way deserves a match ban.

Anyway, the discussion is getting stale. Connelly is playing, the conversation should be focused on the match and the massive hill Dublin have to climb

At least shipping the tourney below and a token for the IWF sat on Sunday makes up a bit for it. Maybe I should just stick to tournies

Also tourney below just right after the last break I have over half the chips in play with 3 left and I look down at AA, fucking desktop crashes again. I log back on about 2-3mins later and I am 3-1 down in the HU battle. Still ship it though!!

Ran the poker club by myself for the first time tonight.
Fooking deadly!

Our monthly game is this Sunday at 6pm if anyone is interested.

[BrianByrne]

You are being advised to min raise there?
Pre flop?

Min raising tends to be optimal for our overall game plan, past the 4th - 5th levels i am usually either shoving or min raising my entire range. in this particular instance we have a 20+ BB stack and should of course have a raise/fold range, we lose less when pushed on by a stack we can't call and often pick up the blinds and antes uncontested.The blinds will often call a wide range to a min raise especially earlier on and in position we can cbet a tonne successfully and take down a larger pot than we would have if we 2.5-3xd it pre and got folds. Not being advised to min here specifically, it just part of our overall strategy. It's kind of a balancing issue too, but that's not so important. Not quite sure whether you are questioning the fact i opened K10 with a min or just the min raise in general. (See below if question was in regards to opening k10.)

SPOILER

29.1%, 22+ A2s+ A7o+ A5o-A3o K3s+ KTo+ Q8s+ QTo+ J9s+ JTo T9s

As the hand played, i made an error in checking the turn, i should have lead the turn and called his raise.

Rant

The Fitz is fucking infuriating.
Some dickhead cost me 162e in a hand tonight.

I had 3 bet a player pre and she called. On the flop she was all set to check raise my bet allin for 162e on a bluff, had her chips 95% in the pot, some cunt who had being talking non stop about everything and the action shouted out something like 'YEA SHOVE HIM ALLIN', and she pulled back. Thought for 10 seconds and folded and said he put her off and 'made it too obvious'. She was middle aged and wasn't bullshitting. She was also prone to a few slick moves tbf, like check raising with bugger all.

So 162e gone thanks to him. Dealers do not control the game. I find this all over the place tbh, they are usually fine with the mechanics but not with actually controlling the game.

Every night I have been in the Fitz in the last few years (maybe 10 times) there has been some sort of problem(s)/incident(s).

Also there is about 5x anglesshooting and 3x shitty etique and piss taking compared to the Sporting.

They aren't incentivised to give a fuck. It's the job of the the dealers/club to do so.

Every night, cards are exposing various times by cunts just not giving a fuck as they fire their cards in while simultaneously making a dash for the 3 card poker table or to go for a cigettte.

Also, this open folding to no bet shit is also utter bullshit and should be stopped.

It would be more effective if the dealers took charge and controlled the table when people were out of line and fucking things up for others in hands. That's part of their job, but they ignore that element.
