I'm predicting a win for Charles Flynn.

GL Charles - target beat my 75K

Dave

OMG I was one of the 100 through on day 1A

Does this mean I am a "horse" and someone has me in a sweepstake lol

No pressure! I have 75K in chips and way out of my comfort zone!! Will do my best

Hi all

Just read through this whole thread and what a great job tighty has done, very wp SIR

Was a tough day, played alongside Pieter de Korver and Guy (Outragious) and later had to deal with Scott Davies and Calvin Anderson later

A poker education!!

Discussed 2 hands with Pieter de korver afterwards and got some great feedback

GL to all Blondes - can't wait for day 2 75k is a workable stack hopefully

Dave

did he tell you not to peel T8s from the bb 

nice to meet you -- how many did you end up ?

Yeah sorry, T8s my bad

75k (ave 79k)

Elzbieta Biessek is the lady's name. I'm not Sherlock Holmes, but she might be Polish

...and she probably has the best manicured hands in poker.

Better than these? Mooooooooooooo

Looks a cool site

I voted No Deals except the daily 15/50 tournaments as i believe their structure does not allow for play on the FT

I FT'ed the 15 freezeout recently and arrived at the FT with 2 BB, (average was 5BB)

9th paid £47 - 1st paid £795

I was basically playing a game of poker roulette

A deal was discussed (I would say encouraged by the TD) but who would give a 2BB stack a deal anyway, 4 of us departed quickly and the deal was done 5 ways

My opinion is...unless the structure of the 15 Freezeout (15 min clock) and the 50 Freezeout (20 min clock) is improved to say 25 mins with possibly a 500/1000 level then the club need to still allow deals on these tournaments. There was basically no skill involved from 15 players down, also pots were so multiway and dealers insisted on keeping side pots correct often taking 5 or so minutes per hand, 1 level there were only 2 hands dealt, should be a minimum of 1 orbit per level in my opinion.

The bigger tournaments are different and I am not in a position to really comment on those, good debate though

Brilliant News!!

DTD is so far ahead in organising poker for everybody it is unreal, even living in York I make regular trips and continue to do so.

Fantastic to see DTD so forward thinking, even for low stakes players DTD has it all

Dave

I will be there but only playing Saturday side event!!

Then again u know me!

Its further away and non-motorway. If driving would recommend Shannon.

Agree with Adam, Knock is 55 miles North but roads are not as good as the Shannon route but if flights are better Knock is a viable alternative

I am flying Manchester - Shannon tonight - drive to Galway

Dave

I work in Galway a lot (off their tomorrow)

Galway Airport is shut for winter

Shannon is 50 miles away and 1 hour via the new motorway they built

Simples!!
