Winners and Losers

Winners and Losers

tgfon has gotten off to a great start this week by winning Monday morning’s 7am freerool. While myself and the rest of the bleary eyed poker players here at Paddy Tower were dragging themselves out of the scratcher tgfon was up beating 127 opponents in the $50 Brekkie Freeroll. Presumably drinking a cranberry juice and doing pilates while doing so.

Either way, tgfon is a winner and I am not ….so congrats tgfon!

My pokering at the weekend involved playing terribly AND getting unlucky in the Fitzwilliam Card Club tournament on Saturday night in Dublin. That is a combination that can only lead to one thing in the poker world - poverty!

I crippled myself by bluffing, firing one too many bullets at an Ace-high board and was called down by KK. It was a great call but in retrospect by overbet on the river was a telegraphed steal. Anyway eventually I got it all-in against another PPP genius in the shape of MikeP. I say genius because their is no other way to describe the skill and dexterity with which he hit his set on the flop when he held 99 against my jacks.

I was not pleased to get a phone call from him 20 minutes after i left the building telling me he had donated all my chips to someone else!

Thankfully, new PPP recruit Paul is a much better player than I am and did us proud by finishing 2nd for a tidy little profit.

I shall be asking him for lessons
