FULL TILT is the business

I get back from Las Vegas on Thursday and decide to play a tourny on Full Tilt before I go to bed. What is strange about that is I never play tourny's there and I very rarely play NLH tourny's any more as it is usually only PLO cash I play.
Anyway I play a small buy-in tourny and 5hrs later and 180 runners I win it.
Then tonight I play the same tournament and Win it again, both times with 180 runners.
Two posts ago I said I was giving up on playing Pokerstars as I can never win a race or a tournament and in two nights on full tilt I win the same one twice. Very strange.
At least thats my flights back to Vegas paid for and a meal in Lavo.

The KILLERS in Las Vegas & Poker

I went to see THE KILLERS in Paris last month and they were so good that when we saw that they were playing in their home town "Las Vegas" we just had to go.
They were opening the Hard Rock hotel's rock venue "The Joint" as it had undergone a massive upgrade so we checked in for 5 nights and wow what a show.
For anyone going to Vegas the Hard Rock is a bit out of the way but it is just one big party venue. The poker room their is small with about 15 tables but very good action after 10pm and max $4 rake "Irish clubs listen".

The WPT $25k tourny was on in the Bellagio and it was amazing to walk into a room with the world's top players all in one room at one time...mind blowing.

My better half know's Daniel Negreanu through something totally unrelated to poker and we got to meet him and have a chat (none of which was about poker) which was very cool. He is such a nice down to earth guy.

The weather is getting very hot there and I can't wait to go back in June.
I played about 16hrs of cash and payed for the trip which was great, I've never seen such bad poker tourists in my life....I wanna live there.

Ohhh food...go to Lavo in the Venetian. Amazing garlic bread and seafood pasta and calamari.

Thats it for now. Gonna grind some cash and tournys to get a bankroll for my June trip.

"Pokerstars" The End

I've been playing Pokerstars now for about 5 years and in all that time I just can't seem to ever
win anything worthwhile. Along with this I lose 85% of races when I'm ahead. So enough is enough. Tonights $250 gtd. tourny will be my last on this site.(unless I win it).
I've played about 20 online sites in my life but nothing ever like what happens on Stars.

Both my tip's for the poker never played as far as I can make out.

Weekends betting tips

I'm going to have a few bets this weekend and I usually do ok so I'll share them with you.

U.S. Masters Golf: Sergio Garcia - 40/1 & Lee Westwood 60/1 both e/w
Irish Open Poker: Mike Mc donald 125/1 (if he plays it) Sorel Mizzi 80/1 both e/w

Garcia & Mc donald €5 e/w double would be nice (pays about €25,000)

My Charity Irish open Idea was a bad idea. No more bad ideas.

Irish Open 100% for Charity

Ok.
Heres the plan.

I'm going to play the Irish Open main event and whatever I win I will give 100% to charity.
I want anyone thats interested in buying a % to register there interest here or on boards poker fourm.

1% = €40
3% = $120
etc.
I am taking only my accommodation out of this, nothing else. The balance goes into the pot.

Please put your Name/% wanted/your choosen charity/contact detail

If/when I cash your charity gets the % of the prize money you invested.

Email me your interest to: thailandpokernights@hotmail.com

Why am doing this...because it would be amazing to get to a final table and give all
the money to charity.
I also want any online poker site to get involved and I'll stick there logo on my clothing.
So let everyone know about this and lets get the 100% sold.
