That"s sounds like a challenge! On current form, I"m a certainty to be out within the first hour. A last shorter bet perhaps?
Title: Re: Irish Online Championship 2009
Post by: Pilf on April 18, 2009, 19:58:40 PM: OK, might as well ensure that I dont get a result by letting you all know that I"m in top form at the moment.
And as for 10k chips in an hour.......Easy

Title: Re: Irish Online Championship 2009
Post by: dwh103 on April 18, 2009, 23:05:12 PM: Hmmm, got given chips in a couple of big pots, but had AA cracked, wrong end of set over set, and then made a good call only to lose a 60/40.

Makes a change to run only slightly worse than neutral, it"s a big improvement on recent luck.

Good luck to those left in.
Title: Re: Irish Online Championship 2009
Post by: Chipaccrual on April 18, 2009, 23:14:44 PM: I seem to run okay in these to start with and then it goes downhill drastically.

From 32k to zero in 15 minutes and about 4 hands.

Just bad timing and unlucky.

Good luck to all those still going. ;D

So I"m top 5 at break number 3. If only I could win a 50/50 or even a 60/40 as there seems to be a lot of AIPF at the moment and I assume it will continue for a while.
