Before we get there I must mention that I cashed in the £20 rebuy at the G-Casino last Wednesday, but it was only 8th for £200.
So Friday morning I rose at 3am to go and pick Daz up for our flight to Dublin for the Boylepoker IPO 2010, which was being held at the Regency Airport Hotel. The tournament started at 12pm and our flight from EMA was 0635, which we just made after trying to get on one to Spain instead! (I was trying to function on 6hrs sleep since Tuesday night) 45 mins is my kind of flight, take off - quick cuppa - Land! This was my first time in Ireland and although Daz said they were the nicest people in the world, you sort of take it with a pinch of salt, but seriously they are! It started with the taxi driver from the airport to the hotel, who unlike anything you get in England, actually said to give him less money than it said on the meter. If that was Sheffield and you offered him 30p less than the meter, he would lock the doors and take you to the nearest police station. Then the guy on the hotel reception lets us check-in at 8.30am instead of after 2pm so we can get a couple of hours kip before the main event starts.
No one wants to hear about my badbeats so to cut a long story short, I go out of the main event after 2 hrs with AA when the guy rivers a 2-outer and the rest of the weekends poker followed a similar pattern. So in poker terms it was a bad weekend for me, but Ireland was great, the tournament and all the side events were run really well, the Guinness was good and the people are out of this world. My only moan would be about how expensive the food and drink are otherwise I would recommend the weekend to anyone and I will certainly like to go back next year.
On to other business and I have a couple of punts for you today as follows:
16.10 Exeter - Royal Max 9/2
17.20 Yarmouth - Downhill Skier 11/2
1pt singles and a 1pt double
GL Punters!!!
