hmm i think i might like this game. we're you heavily drinking while playing? i think one should while playing irish.

I tried it also, AWESOME GAME!!!

And nh ****. Thou guy in the first pic looks like a woman..

Tineye before accusing. That's Lynn Kelly, who repped Ireland at Miss Universe 2008. She's very masculine, I agree, but legally female.

hands like this like i know its not a big deal it happens, but just hate the huge change from FISTPUMPING at pf action... to fml in a matter of seconds

no comment

yes indeed

Not too much to cry about, but definitely makes more a mighty fine EV dragon:

omg sick dragon lol

i often buy in short depending on table comp :s and there's a funness in short play (and an edge lol) that i appreciate more than most people. that being said, deep is fun too.

i like chess and checkers for different reasons

is it ok if i +1 this one aswell?

only if yuu play checkers and chess. sc2 is neither.

you know it, no one runs worse.

the past fortnight, 72bi below ev.

lol@ running better than 8bi under ev in any session

Looks like a fun game. Rundowns are useless and double pairs are the nuts. Bet people still pile in a ton of money in with rundowns though so AA just prints $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

ok maybe not useless, but a rundowns eq vs aa has to be way lower

Yeah rundowns suck they are just slightly better versions of suited connectors if not the same value. Double pairs are the absolute nuts. Game is pretty fun, especially since you have to think about back door equity instead of your kicker.

We used to play PLO Irish at my local casino and it was amazing fun to play. There could potentially be huge edges in this game if you know what you are doing. I better get some money on FTP fast :P

This game has literally broken me. I don't even know who I am anymore. Jesus Christ. Am I really this bad? Is this just a giant waste of time? I've never run so badly in my life.

Might just jump down to the micros until I can figure out why I suck at this game so much... new goal. Break even or better for the day.

There are going to be like i.e 1 month break even stretches, BRM is very important as sometimes you can inadvertently turn a 1 monther into a 6-12 monther. Move down when you lose like 5 buy in with a 100 buy in roll and $ly downswings will be minsiscule.

you're talking about plo right? or is everbody switching to irish already...hope youll get on your feet again!

There needs to be an Irish discussion thread!

There it is:

I just can't win ever. Nothing like dropping limits and still losing. I feel like I'm going crazy or something

We're just too hawt for you.

Drown in dribble

questioning every single aspect of a hand and whether or not your just a total idiot? Yea. I know that feel right now. I don't even care about the money at this point. I'd just like to see my green line not plummet. I cut out all 100 tables last week, but I think I just might play super solid 20nl until I have a winning day, then give 50 a shot again once I stop losing for a few days.

I'm ridiculously overrolled for this, but jesus I think I'm going to rip my hair out. I can't stand being a barely winning after bonuses rakeback reg. Unacceptable if I'm only playing 4 tables.

just another one of those days.
