Winner – Tom Molloy Tournament!
Decided to see if I could sit down and I thought why not make my first outing at an actual poker tournament.
The Tom Molloy memorial poker tournament was held in Tiverton golf club last night and we had a great laugh with some right characters. My father was there and he usually goes by the name of Iron Man however he was renamed to ‘pensh’ by Mark ‘Sweet Cheeks’ Woodman.
Everyone wanted a shot at me because of my recent Las Vegas experience so I had to work and think deeply about the plan of action. I decided on a non-caring attitude where they saw me make some crazy play and I let them believe I was drunk.
This worked well as they saw me go all-in with 7-2 when I was about 90% certain I wouldn’t get a caller and I could have had a re-buy.
The final three in the tournament were Sweet Cheeks Woodman, Little Big Card and Krafty Kieran. Both were desperate to knock out the Chief as I was extremely low chipped.
After a slight bit of skillful play, major luck and good timing I was soon heads up with Krafty Kieran. All night he had been telling me about how he hoped he would knock me out, and this was his chance. Sorry Kieran, it wasn’t to be.
I just wanted to thank the organisers at Tiverton Golf Club for putting on an excellent night and, in particular, another Mark for being such a great Tournament Director. I was pleased I won and with the prize money, but I was most touched to have received the half sovereign with the engraving in the box for Tom Molloy.
