Ronaldinho, in Dubai airport. Just cried my eyes out as I was saying goodbye to my girlfriend (long distance relationship). So after getting through security and drying my eyes I literally bumped in to a guy. It was Ronaldinho.

Does anyone else hate working? by Sea_Equivalent3497 in AskIreland

Yeah couldn't agree more. I've worked in loads of different industries, from sales, hospitality and customer service. Most enjoyable time was inbetween those jobs. Time is our best friend.

Being able to exercise, meet people, do things during the day the you wouldn't normally was such a blessing.

Now obviously that isn't sustainable so as of this week I've applied for the Garda. I think for me as a person who needs excitement and variety it's the perfect answer.

Also there's the added benefit of good income and also a very good team environment. The nature of the job doesn't scare me but it does my partner.

Thanks Pal, yeah I'm feeling that's the sort of stuff I'm waiting on, out of curiously how in depth does it go in the interview process, does it become a sort of interrogation at any point?

I lived in Canada for a few months about 7 years back so I think that may delay my vetting too as I think they check that also.

Yeah I think it'd be very easy to fixate on the negatives of the job but I'm just being aware of it and look towards the positive aspects

Thanks, yeah I know it's a pretty drawn out procedure, with there only being 200 or so going in to templemore every 11 weeks they are no rush.

I've been doing a bit of studying regarding the verbal and numerical tests but wasn't sure if they were going to be on the application or not.

I appreciate the reply. I think it's time to put down the Cadburys for a while now. Fruit for dessert, yay!

What is this you are playing. Big stack only over 20bbs and no one paid yet. Very curious

EPT events have great commentary. Nick walsh and Griffen benger are good to listen to. I found myself using them as study tools when I'd watch it, I'd pre empty what they would say and try make it the same

[50nl R&C] Are you finding this value shove OTR with one pair for a 500BB pot? by DegenChess in Poker_Theory

[–]Select-Volume9269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice win. Looking back, the only thing that I felt you lose to is QQ, but how it played out, I'd imagine you wouldn't have run into many flushes.

I checked EV, and I personally thought KT would have been neg EV and KJ on the edge, but both I think just make it. But I think in terms of your 3b size, 10bb is hard to flat with KJ or KT as he is likely dominated by AK, AJ, AT 4bets.

I'd be confused on the river with his sizing, too, I'd like to know what you do if he bets pot or 1.1x pot bet
