I telll you what, if this weekend in Killarney was anything to go by I will be spending all my time at the roulette table and not playing poker.
It was a good weekend met up with Laxie and family and had a great time.
Highlight was watching her two daughters playing in the North Cork Gaelic Football championship. Eldest, Sinead, has a mean elbow (wonder where she gets that from) and scored two goals as they crushed the oppostion -- well played girls.
The poker sucked but had a few bevvies to ease the pain. The cash tables were manic (7 euro rake from each player every 30 mins was a bit steep)
However the straddling was so bad they had to limit it to one per game. Anyway on one table the action was thus
1/2 Euro NLHE
UTG 5 Euro straddle
UTG +1 pass
Mid pass
Mid -- "bet 800" FFS its a 8 Euro pot
nuff said. Played tight as a ducks arse and still managed to get all my chips in ahead only to lose to players that were fishier than a Billingsgate employee.
Oh yes and Laxies 11 year old daughter owned me at cards and poker dice
Fk my life
Bring on Vegas
