just back home from dublin and the heads up challenge.what a great weekend , very proud to be a member of the victorious GB team.
many thanks to the fitzwilliam club and the irish team for their hospitality.although outclassed at poker , they showed that they have plenty of class away from the table and i can honestly say i have never met a friendlier bunch of people.
thanks to davey , angie and kev for the hard work they put in.

just a few words about my team mates........


01: Flushy ...........takes an awful amount of stick but is a genuine nice guy and always has a smile on his face (a nightmare to sit next to in a rebuy though)

02: Jen  .............WOW.......arrives with a humungus hangover and still manages a great win in the hi/lo omaha....respect
     
03: Rudders   ....a 2 1/2 hour mammoth omaha battle and a great table companion
 
04: McIntosh ...known as token (as in token jock)........top bloke

05: Pav.........didnt sound like a jock, but somebody said something about motherwell       

06: Pab.......top bloke...future bracelet winner

07: Belsize ...didnt get to spend much time with you as somebody appeared to have nailed you to the cash tables

08: JP     ...showed me how to play 3 5 ........celebrates his 16th birthday next week
     
09: Clothey...sorry mate , i managed to lose you in the airport , hope you had a good trip back

10: Dewi ...thanks for letting me sleep with you    Wink

11; Jamie....great ambassador for blue square


on a personal note..(excuse the chirp)

played the 55euro on friday night andmanaged to be the only team GB member to make final table (8th)

won my heads up 7 card stud match against an excellent (if slightly rude) opponent

played the 25 euro rebuy (had 27 rebuys and an add on  lol) , made the last 3 and chopped with my 2 irish opponents for 850 euros apiece

thanks everyone , a truly memorable weekend

i agree, what a superb weekend. Was a pleasure to meet some of the people id never met before.

The whole day was played in a great atmosphere and enjoyed every minute of it. 25 euro rebuy was v funny some of the locals were visibly disturbed at our strategy of moving all in every hand without looking at our cards, lol

Thanks to davey and angie for all the hard work co-ordinting the event and would be honoured to compete in future events. Kev was the motivater/ chief flushy basher and kept morale in the team up. Flushy was an inspirational captain, lol thought i could say that with a straight face!

Roll on the next one, :-)

Well done lads (and Jen!). Poker results aside, Saturday was a lot of fun, very nice to meet you all.

Token pwned me, first destroying me in our 17-hour HU battle, then despatching me from the rebuy tournament for good measure.

Great weekend, looking forward to September and the rematch. Jen & Token's fightbacks were the turning point of the HU match and we never recovered from the blows. Next time.....

Sweetest moment of the weekend was eliminating Flushie at the final table of the €25 rebuy Smiley

Great craic all weekend and Team GB were great ambassadors for GB poker.

Wouldn't have been such a fantastic weekend without such fantastic hosts. You are right about the turning point - the score was 4-2 to GB but we were seriously down in three games - was very tight - could have gone either way at that stage.  Found it very surreal during your match with flushy - the whole of TeamGB surrounded the table cheering YOU on!!!

Look forward to hosting you guys for the return leg and returning to Dublin later in the year with the English, Scottish and Welsh teams for the four nations.
