Tuesday Night Poker

2 games tonight folks and 1st up its week 10 of 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.

Tonight 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.

Larry Dias took down last weeks game and will be going for the 40 point bonus should he win 2 weeks in a row. Niall O'Connor & Dan Bury currently lead the way in the league.

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.

Monday Night Poker

1 game tonight folks and its the 10th week and final night of the Monday Night Old Ship Poker League.

Unfortunately this will be the final week/game in the old ship. The numbers of late have not been great and therefore i have decided to call it a day with this game. Other games are running around Arklow and attracting bigger numbers on different nights. I do not want to go into competetion with other games, which is why my games run when there is no other games on locally.

On a personal note its sad to see this game die a death, as not so long ago, there used to be 2 tables and in my opinion this is one of the stronger games around the county, with some excellent tournament and cash players.


JP McCann has his Mini WSOP in tallaght, usually around November and the main event is usually a €400 buy in. Niall O'Connor topped the league and cannot be caught and he has now won the ticket.

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 7.30, the game starts at 7.45 sharp as we need to finish by 12! Blinds are 15 mins before and after the break with a 10 minute break after the 1st 6 levels.

Karl Larkin won last weeks game and the 20 points. Tonight he will be looking for the bonus of 40 points for winning 2 weeks in a row.

I would like to see as many tonight seeing as its the end of an era, so hopefully we will go out with a bang!!
