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.

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.

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. Think its €30 freezeout. Not enough players showed up last week to get the game going again, so depending on numbers this might not get off the ground.

Have a good weekend and good luck at the tables.

Star Poker Bray Wednesday Night Results

Congratulations to Lorenzo Fusciardi who won the Wednesday €20 Winter League Freeze-out. With 84 players Lorenzo won €435 and the top 7 got paid. On the final hand Lorenzo called an all-in shove pre-flop with A/6 against 8/5. A board of 7,7,3,3,9 gave him the tournament win. Lorenzo has now moved up to second place in the league with 6 weeks left.

Wednesday Night Poker

Kicking us off is Star Poker Bray and their €20 (15 plus 5 reg)Freezeout tournament. Kicking off at 8.00pm, you can late reg up to the end of the break at 9.30pm. Blinds are 15 minutes and you have a 10k starting stack. Refreshments available throughout and sambos served at the break (30 minute break from 9-9.30pm). The busiest night in the Poker room nearly always gets 60/70 plus.

Cash Games Available around 10 o'clock and the tables fill up very quickly. blinds 25/50c, rake is 10% once a flop is seen and capped at €3. Usually fills the 2 tables.

Also tonight see's the bigger cash game table kick off from 9pm. Minimum buy in is €200 and Im not sure if there is a cap to what the max is. I believe there is only 1 table tonight, to see how things go.

*********apologies folks the bigger cash game is not on until next week***********

Personally I believe this will only help/enhance Star Bray's reputation as there are quite a few players who would prefer to see higher stakes, rather than having to travel into town to play them. So hopefully this takes off for Star. Best of luck!

Good Luck at the tables!

Old Forge Wicklow Tuesday Night Results

Well done to Dan Bury who took down last nights game in the Old Forge Wicklow. Dan beat 15 runners and Robert Carroll heads up to take the win and most importantly the 20 points as the league enters the home straight. Mick Dunne was 3rd and Paddy Clarke bubbled in 4th.

Best hand of the night was Quad 5s for Trevor Conyard. Niall O'Connor must have thought his hand was going to be good when he rivered Quad 4s earlier in the night. Se picture below (all the chips went in on the river)!!


Thanks to all who came and hope to see you all next week.

Monday Night Poker

One game to report tonight, and it happens in the Olde Ship, Arklow.
Its run by Trevor Conyard from WicklowPKRscene/Chip & Chair Poker events.


Buyin: €30 Freezeout tournament (€25+5)

9k starting stack

1k early bird

500 extra chips for confirming by text (0868446556)

Best hand before the break, will win more chips.

Karl Larkin won last weeks game and will be going for 40 points tonight.

Cash game runs also, 50c - €1 NLH with 10% rake once a flop is seen and capped at €5, min buyin to cash game is €25

Tournament players are also part of a league for 2 UKIPT Cork tickets worth €770 each that takes place in February 2013. Top 9 players at the end of the league qualify for the final table and top 2 of final table win a ticket each. Players chipstacks are calculated based on the amount of points they accumulate throughout the league and there are already over 50 players on the league table. €40 is taken from the pot each week to make the money for the 2 tickets.

With over 50 players in the league, the action at the top is heating up. Larry, Reimo and Darek are nearly guaranteed a final spot already, as they have a monster lead, but the final 7 places are anybodys as its quite close!

This is a good game and usually always gets 2 full tables. As in 1 of my previous posts, I have taken over Chip & a Chair and will continue running the game the same way Craig did. Hope to see you all later.

Good Luck at the tables.
