Pokerstars Home Game Results

First off thanks to everyone that played last night. We now have over 26 members in the group and its still growing. Last nights $11 game had 18 runners and we had a 5c/10c cash table being played for most of the night to.

The top 3 players were paid and congrats to Paddy the donk who beat DVH10 heads up. Jacob was 3rd. i think the winner got $90.

For me it wasnt about the money, personally its a bit of fun and a laugh amongst the local poker community so instead of playing against half russia/brazil etc your playing against mostly players that know each other.

Ive been asked to maybe change the game to one rebuy etc but ill decide over the next few days and post a new schedule.

well done to all who played last night, it was good fun.

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.
