playing in my first irish game ever and still not knowing the rules

i am pleased to say i saw of redfox,balloo and the infamous FUGU before the final table(well they never made it anyway)

with only 16 starters i was slightly miffed

seeing as i drove 100 minutes thru the driving snow to get there
and spending a total of 160
there was a prize pool of 1460 and 3 places paid

with the blinds going up to 3k 6k (2:30 am)and only 146k split between 5 players
a deal was suggested feeling relieved to have gotten my spends back
and not doing a tikay (bubble) i was quite happy for an even split (1 hand with those blinds meant playing for all your chip)
if was only then when they started spliting the money 5 ways that 2 people said i should get a larger slice
thats i counted my chips and found i had 47k of the chips not wanting to be greedy and knowing that one bad hand
could cost me dearly i gladly took the deal suggested giving me my petrol money on top of an even split
and the award winner of the internationals festivals 20  pot limit irish

(the nearly 2 hour drive home on what look like it was snow covered roads made thr deal even more attractive)


a trip report including some of the fights between FUGU and balloo and some of the intresting hands played will follow if there is any intrest
