When I started playing poker there used to be a phrase called "Irish position".

This meant the first player into a pot had the best position because he had the right of the first bluff in a hand. i.e. if everyone has nothing the first bet wins it.

I always liked this idea.

*EDIT* This phrase wasn't racist or anti irish in any way. It just refered to the aggressive style of the top Irish players of the time: Padraig Parkinson, Aiden Bennett, Noel Furlong, Alan Betson and Scott Gray + loads more

It's not the money that tightened me up - 9k is an extra tournament for me to play in the year but that's about it - there will be plenty next year.

Blew good position in WSOP 2007, blew 3rd place in NPL Main Event (you played in that one I think Flushy), blew 9th biggest chip stack in Irish Open 2008 at start of day 2.  All zero cashes.  Wasnt' really enjoying the "blowup" reputation tbh.  This was an important monkey to get off my back.  

I'm still not convinced about the 99, but if you are adamant about it, I hope the above gives you an idea of why I was quite keen to cash this time.

For sure i am not saying there aren't reasons, i have done it before, i would never do it now though as i know how bad it is.

NPL was great i think i came 33rd.....out of 35...

was that the one where u were in the cash game in brighton b4 midnight? lol

I read Gus Hanson loves using this tactic- its an interesting tactic that can keep people guessing your likely hand from EP as long as its not overused

p.s I would never consider playing 2's UTG in this scenario
