Star Poker Bray Wednesday Night Christmas Party Pictures

I went along to the game, amazingly 125 players sat down to play! a great night was had by all, apart from anyone that went out on a bad beat.

Personally a quick note to say thanks to Martin, David and Mick from Star Bray for presenting me with an award for the Blog. I dont look for anything for the site, its all free and takes a bit of time but to be acknowledged was very pleasing. Other presentations on the night went to the player of the year, Colm Martin and a number of others too (see the pictures below). Results to follow later!!



Whistlers Thursday Night Results

Well Done to Johnny Dunne and Stephen Tierney who chopped thursday Nights game in whistlers Wicklow. Paddy Clarke was 3rd. Top spot paid €240. Johnny also picked up €20 at the break with the best hand Quad Queens.

Wicklow Pkr Scene Deepstack (Reminder)



ONLY 2 DAYS TO GO!!

€100 Entry (€85 plus €15 reg)

Fully Dealer Dealt, Food on the break with a starting stack of 30k. Blinds 25 mins before the break and 30 minutes when you return (20 min break). The bar will be open in the Friar Suite and there is also a food menu if you feel peckish!

I have included Antes in the structure to entice some action, especially with the blinds being so long. I dont think we will hit blinds of 50000/100000 but I have included them for all to see.

Finally if possible I would like to know what kind of numbers that will be showing up, if you can tweet me, comment on the blog/facebook, text me 0868446556, or email me wicklowpkrscene@gmail.com, just so I have an indication!

Christmas Jumpers and Christmas Hats are a must!! (Joe Baker one of the only men last year to wear them!!) Good man Joe

Finally for those who want to try get into the game cheap, Ill be running full table €10 per man satellites (No reg like most places do). Theres a choice of 2 game, Omaha or Hold'em. Simply one hand will be dealt face up and the winner has the buy in for the tournament. If its a thing where there are 6/7 even 8 players same rules apply the winner gets the pot to put towards his/her entrance fee. Its for the players who want to try get into the game on the cheap and im sure this will interest a good few of the players!

Also There more than likely will be a cash game afterwards and depending on requests we will run a NLH game and an Omaha Game. If anyone is interested please can you let me know.

If its a thing where 2 cash games get going, one table will be 50c/€1 and the 2nd table will be €1/€2. Last year the cash game was quite big with some pots over €200.

Last year Dave Walsh & Jason O'Brien chopped the main game for €850 each with the top 7 getting paid. we had over 40 runners in a nice relaxed venue with a great atmosphere. Im not just plugging the game, ask any player that played last year who didnt enjoy themselves!

Depending on time and numbers, if theres interest there will be a turbo side game later in the day. €20 freezeout, small stack and shorter blind levels. (this i will confirm)

Finally the Structure of the game is as below:

Friday Night Poker

Tuesday Night Poker

Only the 1 game tonight folks,

Jacobs well Rathdrum 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 9.00 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.
