Sail Fest Fundraiser Sunday Night

I ventured to the Fundraiser in the Grand Hotel last night. 27 Runners, with the top 5 being played. I was running okay, as I won 2 big pots, the latter with aces where I knocked Alan out and took his 40k plus in chips to give me the lead with 17 remaining. This was my stack when I had chips!!



However I went card dead and when I finally woke up with Jacks, John Leon unfortunately had kings, which put me into emergency mode.

I made the final 9, and pushed on my first hand for my remaining 18k with queen/Jack off and was called by Queen 6 off, for him to hit runner runner straight, Disappointing finish as I had played well, and didnt make to many mistakes/stupid calls.

I didnt really know what to think of my table as some of the bets, calls preflop etc were weird to say the least. I was kind of stuck on a table with a few people who

a) like to see a flop (no matter what the raise or what they hold)
b) Non believers (you have it on every street and they hit their one outer on the river)

I did question it a few times with some of the players, but thats poker any 2 cards, which at the best of times can be very frustrating, as the same players (even with crap) seem to hit all the time.

I left when it was 6 handed, with John Leon, Niall Carberry, Dominic Leech, and 3 others Im not sure of their names.

Anyway, not as big a turnout as the last tournament held, but not bad for a bnak holiday sunday night. Well done to all who organised/helped.
