Went over to this irish open last wednesday. Very comedy trip.
Went over with Middy and met up with Johne147, George, Rutter, Dan Carter + his mate Dave on the thursday night and had a few drinks while splitting into teams and playing the other 1 @ 200bb HU cash with sidebets. Obviously we split the teams fairly:
Me (torny clown), Middy (torny clown), John (torny clown) and George (just a clown)
VS.
Carter (HUNL specialist), Rutter (reg cash player) and Dave (Cash grinder)
''SNAP HIS HAND OFF''
Obviously we handed it to them and shipped the bets. Which led to much rubdowns.
Me and George spy some celebs and get in the spirit of things by capturing the moment.
As seems standard for us before big live tornies we carry on drinking and around 5am we'r crushing those HU machines (which fwiw are awesome) Middy strolls off and comes back 20 mins later. He is with some tall, blonde scandi and he points to me and states ''this is my mate dave'' and ''this''....(points to scandi) ''is SOREN MFKIN KONGSGAAARD''. Now middy has a habit of calling people poker pro's that they resemble, so im totally clueless whether or not its actually him. Turned out it was him though:
Those HU machines are totally rigged for sure. Me and Tom Rutter got a bet down with George that Ben Vinson would tear up John. He starts pounding him, then John somehow finds a couple of sick coolers to sway the victory to Mr. Bedi, fkin sick. He collected our money with class and certainly got it quietly:
cough greasefire bedi cough.
We finally went up to bed at 7am just after Kimber gave Middy a 20 minute long abusal, gr8game Middy, he was a little worse for wear at this point.
I wake up to my alarm at 1pm and think its gonna be london all over again, somehow find the strength to get up this time though and go grinding. Made day 2 but nothing doing. Who wants to hear about grinding anyway!
On the sat night we set up another HU match, Me Rutter George and John vs Persuad Middy McDonald and another guy. This time 2 tables of 200bb NL. We felt them in like 5 mins on both tables, so ship more side bets. We decide to take their cash on a spin up, and roll $400 into $1K before getting chucked from the bar, we decide to stroll to our room and carry it on there, spin to $2500 and bink into a $25/50 capNL game, sit down first hand and get dealt QQ in the bb. The button opens to $100 and we 3bet to $325, he snap caps it to $1500 and we call. We hold vs his A9s despite Middy passionately antirailing screaming 'ACE, ACE'' So we chop up $1K each and go to breakfast.
Me and Middy have a flight booked for 12pm that day that i booked upon busting the ME. By this time its 8am and We got to our room, John says he'l knock for us in 90mins and we'l go to the airport. Next thing i know its 4pm lol. gg €160. So we find out theres another flight tonight and catch that at 9pm, gg another £450 booking at the airport. So Dave Jones and Tom Middleton had 1 flight out to dublin, and 3 back. Marv.
Flights delayed for an hour and wifi wont work so me and middy decide we'l do 1 coinflip. He owes me ~£500 for the extra flights + some euros i leant him. So we decide to flip for it. I get the £2 coin spinning in the air and middy calls heads... I slowly peel my hand back and reveal a heavenly tails. gr8game middy your eye had a good run. He did have the last laugh though:
14Apr09 MIDDLETON TP 999.99 burn middy.
A great trip regardless of the poker, and flushy won me $3K for my % in his LO8, so not too much damage done!
