Friday Night Poker

The weekend has landed and probably the busies night of the week, when it comes to poker games and crowds around the county tonight and especially with it being a bank holiday weekend.

Action as follows:

Doyles Rathnew, starts at 8.00pm. Seems to usually get 2 tables. €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. Consistently getting 2 tables now and could be more and some of the regulars have been missing the last few weeks, this is a good game. Best hand of the night also gets free entry for the following week.

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 40/50 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 tonight there is a fundraiser in St Patricks GAA Wicklow for the hurling team, see the attached flyer:

Usually always have 40 players but could get more with some players trying to sat their way into the big game. well worth a shot, but its a shootout up to the break!! The recent Super sunday had 90 players and an 18k prizepool, so I would expect the next to be somewhere along the same lines. Last week 2 tickets were given out with a cash prize for 4th.

Tuesday Night Poker

2 games tonight folks and 1st up its week 56of the new Tuesday Night Old Forge Poker League.

This new league will run for 20/30 weeks with €40 being taken out of the pot each week, which will give €800/1200 to the pot.

JP McCann has his Mini WSOP in tallaght, usually around November and the main event is usually a €400 buy in. With the league for 30 weeks the top 3 players will be sent.

The buy in is €40 (35 plus 5 reg), freezeout, €15k starting stack, with a 1k early bird and 1k bonus chip for texting your entry to 0868446556. Registration is from 7.45, the game starts at 8 sharp. Blinds are 15 mins before and after the break with a 10 minute break after the 1st 6 levels. Hot food also served on the break (Pizza!)

The last time the league ran a final table was played for the top 10 with 4 Fitz EOM tickets being awarded, but this time there is a new structure to the league, where there wont be a playoff, just an outright winner, therefore the best players over the course of the league will win the tickets.
Dan Bury took down last weeks game and will be going for the 40 point bonus should he win 2 weeks in a row.

And Finally,

Jacobs well Rathdrum, also have their usual game. Each week they alternate between 2 games. 1 game is a €50 freezeout. starting stack is 62k (you are reading this correctly), blinds are 15/20 mins. no money kept behind all is paid out in prizefunds. starts at 8.30 and can run for a while with a stack this big!!

Their 2nd game is €30, with a €10 rebuy only for the first 3 levels. starting stack is not as big, i believe its around the 20k mark, and blinds are as above 15/20 mins.

Pot Limit cash game also runs when enough players are knocked out of the game.

The Old Ship Arklow Monday Night Results

Congratulations to Niall O'Connor who took down last nights game in Arklow. Niall beat a field of 16 runners to take the win and the 40 points as he has won 2 weeks in a row.
