I did comment yesterday that the game in Lynskeys Arklow on a friday was no more, but it has been set back up again. Results from last night as follows:
The Lynskeys game last night: 9 runners, 2 rebuys. nice setup,ok game when Danny eventually got there lol! Bit mental at the start. 1st: Niall O'Connor €180, 2nd: Adrian €90, 3rd Mick €60. Heads up 2 key hands: Nialls A5 v 3h4h all in pre, flop 342 :) then Niall's A8 v Kj held.

Be knocked out or go bust before the end of the break and you can rebuy again for €25 (20 plus 5 reg). Starts at 8.00pm and you can register up to 9.30pm. Blinds are 15 mins and a 10k starting stack.

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 6th/7th 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 (i think the winner alone will win €1000!), right before christmas.
The Kennedy inn, Newtown. Starts at 8.00pm, buy in is €20, with a €20 top up. early bird chip of 1k if your there before 8. Starting stack of 10k and a 20 min clock. The topup/rebuy is also for 10k. Usually gets 2 tables and the standard of play is very high, and its a good game.
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. Think the number hit 30/40 here tonight.
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.
Also a game in Lynskeys of Arklow. this game is no more as far as i know, they were not getting the numbers and no texts have gone out in a while.
Have a good weekend and good luck at the tables.

The Old Ship Arklow Monday Night Results
Congratulations to Trevor Conyard who took down last weeks game in the Old Ship Arklow. Trevor called Bobby McGee and Justas all in with Jack 9 Diamonds and was up against Ace 7 & Jack Queen. Trevor rivered a 9 to take top prize of €210. There was 18 runners and best hand before the break and overall was Quad Kings for Bobby McGee, which not only gave him an extra 5k in chips but also free entry to next weeks tournament.
A cash game got going after the final table with 8 players, which was good to see as there hasnt been one in a while. Maybe with the winter coming in and the darker nights the game will get busier.
There was also some action on the side with Craig Ledwith and Karl Larkin betting €20 on whoever last longest. There was only ever going to be 1 winner here and Craig duly took Karl's €20 with a big smile. (He didnt needle Karl to much about it)
Here is the Picture: (Loving Karls new look)
Final Table
Thanks to all who came and hope to see you all next week.

Update Christmas Deepstack
Okay folks, an update on the Christmas game as follows:
Im trying to give the player the option here so they are going to enjoy the game, rather than give out about it! thats not what I want, hence the option!
Options are as follows:
1. 20K Starting stack buy in €70 (60 prizepool 10 reg), NO Dealers (self deal), capped at 50 players. 20 min blinds before the break of 6 levels and 25 mins after. Food will be served on the break, which will be 30 mins. Date is either the 22/23rd December and will be in the Grand Hotel, Wicklow.
2. 15k starting stack, buy in €75 (60 prizepool, 15 reg) dealer dealt, capped at 60 players, 25 min blinds before the break of 6 levels and 30 mins thereafter. Again food will be served on the break, which will be 30 mins, dates and venue as above.
I will not be playing myself and will be the tournament director, and any decision that is made will be final.
There will be no antes, after sufficient levels the clock will be paused and the smaller denominations removed and players chipped up. Play will commence mid afternoon, and there will be 2 breaks, one after 6 levels, the other after another 6, then we will play out to the winner.
There is no Guarantee on the prizepool as there is no overlay. I have had a good response and between all the local venues Im sure we could get 50 players easily enough. Nothing will be deducted from the Prizepool, any costs come out of the reg (Food, venue, dealers). Providing the venue is full the Prizepool will be over €3k (again this is only Guaranteed providing the game is full)
There was an option of running a larger buy in of €100 plus €20 reg, and to advertise on IPB and get more numbers. there are 2 reasons why (for now)im not doing this, and the 1st is because its right before Christmas and I think €120 is a bit much, even though €70/€75 is not cheap, I believe more people will go for this game, and secondly, Wicklow never really gets a big game apart from the local pub games etc, and this is the main reason for running this.
So the question that I am asking is:
a) which date would you prefer, Saturday the 22nd December or Sunday the 23rd December?
b) Self deal or Dealers?
I had a good response to my previous post on this both by emails, comments on the blog and text. So please feel free to comment and let me know what you would like here.
thanks.
