    "That's what's difficult. You know that O'Connell is going to be the one that will jump for the ball but you still don't manage to steal it. It's kind of annoying

    "I talked about it with the Toulouse players, my final in 2006 and theirs in 2008 against Munster. I was marking Paul O'Connell and they were man-marking him too. We knew he was going to jump. But I remember I was in really good condition, with a good lift, but every time I just missed it."

    So far this year made €10,000 profit. Far too many hours spent in front of the comp screen.

    Its probably not worth grinding if that is your only profit............iF its part time its impressive shane..


    There is no buzz like running a bluff in live games......something you have been setting up for 20 odd minutes[img]smileys/razz.gif[/img]

    Tried online poker and was doing ok but quickly got sick of it. Am keeping up the interest in betting on rugby and the GAA though and lay a bet or two every second weekend. Last year manged to turn €120 into €1,060 but that seems fairly small time compared to Shane here. Took out a grand at the start of the summer and have slowly worked it up to €603. Had two out of two last weekend. Munster and Scarlets to get less than 4.5 tries between them @ 4/5 and the ABs to cover the 20 pt spread.

    Mainly MTT's since thats what the league is based on. If I win the league top prize is package to WSOP. I would imagine January onwards I will be playing a lot of live games in preperation for it.


    I plan to play more cash next year as well. Totally different game from a chip game.


    I'm playing mostly hold 'em and asmall bit of Omaha and Omaha hi/lo


    Edited to add: I play most evenings and then weekends. Going to Munster matches give me a nice break from it and recharge the old batteries

    This is the fella who had everyone in Fermoy put moneyon Nigel Worthington to be next Leeds manager last year. Cost everyone a fortune. Be warned he is a cooler and hasn't won a head up match in poker in 12 months [img]smileys/wink.gif[/img]. BtwWon a nice few quid on West Ham not scoring tonight at 4/5. Good idea for a thread, maybe we should set up a bet of the week and lay of the week.

    Man Utd will be doing an Arsenal tonight and using their B
    team. Burnley are a fine example to why Carling cup is valued more by the
    smaller clubs, my own team QPR gave Utd tough game in last round. Blackburn at
    5-1 might be worth a punt.

    I tried the paddypower online poker. Only on it about five days but breaking even. Just playing the 0.01/0.02 no limit hold 'em and trying to learn. I find it takes ages to get a decent hand and whenever I try to bluff it doesn't work

    Don't fancy France for the 6 nations at all. I think marc lievremont is a brutal coach. Ireland will beat them in the first game at Croker.

    Forget about playing the cash games online, especially with those low stakes.


    Try playing sit'n'go games. You can buy into a game for about €1.

    Fools easily parted with their money springs to mind. The max I would ever lay on is € 20.00 tops as that is all I could afford to lose. Funny that you always hear about the wins but never hear how much money people actually lose....

    redster I spend very little on going out. My on-line poker play is a hobby. I also have learnt to manage what I spend. I set a daily/weekly limit and don't exceed it. So far this year I have not come close to exceeding it. Lucky me- maybe (probably)

    The conflict of interest is too much for my liking, Considering Tolouse and France will be clashing with Munster and Ireland.


    TBH I would of thought the better bet would be for Munster to win ML,HEC, and Ireland to win the six nations.

    Fair enough Shane, you know what your limit is and when to stop. A member of my family is a big gambler and is at the stage of not knowing when to stop so I see the other side of it. Gets paid once a month and goes on a big bender and has sweet FA to live off for the rest of the month. The person admitted to me that they blow € 1500.00 one weekend on cards, I nearly got sick at the thought of it.

    Gambling is entertainment and unless you are an imbicile you can enjoy it. There is a great buzz when you win , must be the same as when you buy a lovely pair of shoes[img]smileys/wink.gif[/img]

    Thats just crazy. No problem betting say 20% max of your wages but 1500 is a problem. Some people have serious addiction problems.


    Anyway any tips for the weekend. Anyone have a price for Clermont?
