Friday Night Poker

Action for tonight is as follows:

Doyles Rathnew, starts at 8.00pm. Seems to be getting 2 tables consistently now. €20 buy in and a starting stack of 2.5k and a 20 min clock. You can rebuy/topup 3 times and if your gone before the break you can buy a deadstack and the 3 topups for €50. All money taken in on the night goes back out in the prizefund. Peter Porter has been keeping me informed of winners and pictures when he goes here. This is the 3rd week of the Christmas roll over with €200 off the prizepool being held back. Play 7 out of the 12 weeks to qualify for the final night and your chance to win €1000, right before christmas. Last week I believe had 21 runners, and this game is getting bigger with the run into christmas and a big purse up for grabs at the end.

The Kennedy inn, Newtown. GAME CANCELLED TONIGHT DUE TO THE FUNDRAISER IN THE ESPLANADE HOTEL. DETAILS BELOW.

Star Poker Bray, have their €25 (20 plus 5 reg) double chance tournie. Bust or be knocked out before the end of the first break at 9.30pm and you can rebuy for a further €25. Starts at 8.00pm and you can late reg up to 9.30pm. Starting stack of 10k, 15 min blinds and usually 30 plus runners. Refreshments available throughout and hot food served at the break. The numbers in Bray have been fairly consistent are will probably have 30/40 runners.

Cash tables run until late and usually have 2 going. 25/50c blinds. 10% rake once a flop is seen, capped at €3 per pot, again the 2 cash tables usually fill up fairly fast.

(I dont know if the Fundraiser will have an impact here as both are right beside each other, and of course Ireland are playing Germany tonight also. Maybe players will want to see the game and play poker at the same time!!)
