Just wanted to log in to express my condolences. What a character and a fighter. Despite shaming me with his spot on read at the Dublin Apat i was delighted with his win (forget about 2nd, in my book he was No. 1). Here's what he said to me just to put a smile on your face.

Tell us about the Jennifer Tilly tell on Doc Farrell?!!!

Well it seemed to make people laugh. Doc pushed on a QQ4 flop (two diamonds) I looked down to see 10 10 when it was passed round to me down the other end of the table from Doc. I didn’t want to call him for half my stack, but when I looked up at Doc Farrell, I saw his chest heaving, just like in that u-tube video of jenny trying to bluff, but giving it away by her rapid breathing. Phil Ivey couldn’t believe she had such an easy tell..
So I knew he was flushing, so I said “Hay Doc your chest is heaving more than jenny Tilly’s in that video” everyone laughed, then I folded, I didn’t want to risk giving him 2/1 getting his flush, plus the outside chance he had a queen.

So long Brendan.

Jenn--- i mean, Des.

I have a new poker hero and his name is Sir Eric Stoner. Those of you who know him, know that there is nothing more to add.
You are the winner in my book Brendan

See you in the future,

Des
(aka Jennifer Tilly's boobies)

seriously, i'll be leaving in ten mins and i'll be there 5 mins after that.
tikay? anybody else?

Apologies if Jen & I get any "cross-over" or report some stuff twice, but we are 4 floors apart. In many ways.

Eoin O'Dea, Donnacha's son, is OUT. He flopped a set, but got rivered by a straight.

Hello all and welcome to MY wet city. I hope to say hello and thanks for all the great reports over the last year in person.
but tomorrow, for this evening i must get plastered elsewhere.
Eoin is one of the best and also tightest players of his age group. I'm amazed that he's out.

don't get a drenching.

ok i'm off to the pub.

any idea how my protege Len 'The Hitman' Collins is doing? he will be wearing a paddy power tshirt. big bald guy with sci-fi mp3 sungalsses?

tx, des

hello, the lurker her again,

can i ask you to tell Tom Murphy that his site is up again and ask him if he's gonna do any work over there or just smoke somebody else's bensons?

ty, des

hello again,

can you tell Tom he Irishman that antesup is running again and he better get posting real quick!
ty, des

Hello folks,

long time Irish lurker here and big fan since last year.

Can you please tell Tom Murphy of Antes Up that his site is down? I'm sure he knows but it will add to his stress! And will you tell him that his arch-nemesis informed you and wishes Mike Lacey good luck too.

Thank you!

btw, it's none of my business why you are having a problem with UK Poker but if you are refering to a certain portly gentleman with the initials MS then I wouldn't allow it to happen. I shall take him down in a 5 euro rebuy game here in Dublin as retribution.
