Poker trip to Ireland

Am away a few day to Ireland for a poker event and some other stuff.. So since some off you seem to have a lot of time left over ;-), at least to complain about things!! I figure I post my dairy…. And guys if you don’t like it just skip it, and I DID post in VERY off topic! ;-)

**************************


Well my morning started with biting the filling of a tooth!!
Really good timing eh? NOT.

So no eating just drinking for the whole weekend I suppose. Could be worse!
Don’t tell my boss ;-)

Finally arriving at Dublin airport, delayed, missing my train to Waterford and starting to figure out a solution to how to sort that. A man waves me. He works for a rental car company and he waved me and said: you need a car? Hmm well need and need but actually no bad idea so we started to talk and after realising he played poker and him taking a break to go and have coffee with me I ended up with very nice car and my only request was really: nice stereo, this chick plays loud! So, he gave me nice car for actually cheaper price then the train would have cost me back and forward and far quicker in time also. Weird, but he was a nice lad and I am a nice girl so… =-), I normally get my way. Tsk tsk tsk…..*rolling my eyes*

Okey… as we all know, in this country they drive on the other side of the road.. hmmm. The first thing one sees sitting down in the car is a big sign on the panel: OBS, drive on left side of road! LOOOL one has to laugh, like anyone renting a car NOT knowing that would believe that sign? I mean of they don’t know that already would they believe that sign?

Okey… here we go, tuned in a nice station, turned it up, on with my sunglasses, and by the way I already bought 3 pair on this trip, sucker for them and lose them and break them all time so need reserves ones….. and of we go and dammed, it was a nice car, a sporty model that is quick like a little rat! Well… said and done, out in the traffic and dammed this is huge city! But I managed and after a while I was cruising along M50 looking for signs to N7 Waterford, turned out well, feeling like a new born baby on slipper ice. Most tricky is the roundabouts, I mean one can get lost there even at home but this was so freaking odd… but I said to myself, ok anna panna banana as long as it feels REALLY totally wrong you know your doing totally right! Ship it.

Last time I was in Ireland witch is almost exactly on the day 12 years ago and driving down to Waterford I start to remember some funny things witch are: signs, and even remember I got 4 pages in a photo album at home with weird odd signs. Guys!!

This is the land of signs, one can really smile.

I mean driving along a highway and it says” no more sharp shoulders”.. OK OK good to know that here don’t live skinny people or what do they mean? Or “heavy plant crossing”, I mean what do they really mean here? Heavy plants crossing the road?

Or this one “warning blind people crossing” Ehhhh? Come on!
“Old people crossing “is another sweet one.
And this one lool… “Slow children crossing” Sorry guys but kids not often slow.

And honestly the whole country are build of this signs, I could go on forever but wont, my sense of humour is a bit dry I know!

So getting a bit hungry and fore most dying for a coffee I stop at “Esso” don’t know with you guys but Esso is like flashback to when I where 5 yrs old. Anyway stopped there and wanted to visit ladies room before coffee, well, getting in there it’s a big sign, “please flush toilet after using it” Hmmm, well why does that sign even have to be there?

It gets even creepier… on the back of the door it says: “Zink to wash hands outside to your left”. LOOL, and I can add the toilet area where like the size of a small small room so no way missing t

Update live Watford....


About models: Its a myth they dont eat, Jesus!!! Just had breakfast with a few of them and they eat like elephants! I changed some email adresses, but dammed they are tall.

Ah well the weather her is amazing, like July in Sweden. So starting with the emission taking money out, I look for signs for an ATM but no shit no signs!! Anyway find one and started to press 500 E, this machine can only withdraw maximum of 400 E, ok, I push 400;this machine can only withdraw maximum of 200 ok,; I press 200: this Machine,, ahhhh FFS write me a SIGN telling me how much I can withdraw!! I ended up taking out 50 E x20!

I mean a sign would do me good here ;-)

So I take a stroll down town to get some gifts, found a great football book about Pele;, always get English football books for M when travelling, hard to get English books in Sweden, M would be my ex husband, yea yea I know am a nice ex wife.

For myself, heheheh ALWAYS just one thing. Sunglasses!!! OMG OMG I got more of those then people got socks. But I need them since I always misplace them or break them. Found a freaking nice pair so now I have to take the car for a spin ;-) and look a bit cool playing Van Halen loud, true, they are for some unknown reason playing Van Halens JUMP all the time in radio, hmmmm dunnu why! Also I need to go out to a computer store so better get moving, and then meeting up with Derek around 13.00 our time here. And I did get one pair of glasses at Malmö airport and 2 more at Dublin, LOOOL, but dont worry I only buy junk one since I always misplace or break them anyway.

You guys cant imagine how fun it is so drive on the wrong side of the road; it really put your concentration on maximum and the adrenalin pumping. And the car is so nice ;-) and dark dark grey, I regret now not having dinner with the lad then he might have got me a cabriolet!

Abut SIGNS: I forgot one yesterday, when driving on the bigger roads once in awhile it comes a sign, you are over speeding you got 4 penalty points OK OK sorry.. but hey, wait a minute how would they know, because it wasnt like a digital one, they just assume and I did some calculation on how often they appear and I think am about up to around 100 penalty points. Where do I go to get my penalty? Asked around and if you get 12 points they take your license and they got 4 cameras over the whole of Ireland working ;-) so narrrrrh not that worried!

Tournament started 20.30 Danish time.

OK overall with my game, lost two monster potts just before ending day one else I would been top 10 now am instead just above average. But blinds periods are 60 minutes and we still just on 150/300 with 50 ante and I got a bit over 20 000 so hopefully I can do something with it. Our table where great, everyone talking taking turns buying drinks, more like a friendly home game. The floor manager with speaker where ever so often at our table, wonders why!

You want a example of our word battles ;-)

Bluffed a man we can call him, Tomas in a hand, raise pre with 56 of heart, 4 players.flop come K109, one better one caller and I reraise heavy, I mean I did raise preflop so gotta represent something everyone fold except Tomas.. Thinking like 100 year and he been playing so lose and so reckless showing his bluffs so am bit worried actually regretting my move but,, ah welll,but he folds and I sit with my hand for a while and then say, nice fold and threw them up..

But he is the flirtiest one around the table from 1: st second so its just a big laugh and another round of beers.

2 hands later its him and me in a fairly big pott.

I bet pre, he reraise me and conversation goes like this:

-Are you upset with me Tomas?
-Yes anna I am.
-Oh sorry dear!

I call his reraise and flop comes, I didnt hit.

He checks, I check.
-Are you trapping me Tomas or am I trapping you?
-dunno darling, you tell me?
-doesnt matter really you got 2 of three things here with me a

out from main... GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

But curentley chipleader in a side event so still enjoying.
Gotta RUN, my irish lads are waiting for their girl :-)... drinks drink drinks... tuff job but someone has to do it and why not me!!

After 9 hrs play where the last 4 houers i played 5-7 !! hands... thats the card average i got, we where down to finaltable of 9 players and it where supposed to resume tomorow but since am flying home tomorow everyone kindly agree to continue the game.....

My stack where low, i been bleeding for 4 hrs...so i am on button picking up AK suited...blinds are 3000/6000 antes 600, everyone folds to me and i go all in with my AK and 30 000 chips....

BB calles me with A10 off..... i hit my K on the turn and on river he hit straight .... so that was a short session on this finaltable but i had a good time.

Now---- sleep for 2 hrs and then drive to Dublin airport.
Night night..

Bad beat stories! 5euro please! ;)
Just kidding. Have a nice flight home.

Damn I write well when I am drunk =) .... høhø
