Tuesday Poker

Only the 1 live game tonight

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!! This game can get 2 tables. Also one point to note is, i have played this game and sometimes in different places, they have different rules and this is one such place. Nothing major, just in relation to raising/blinds etc! otherwise a good game with some very nice people.

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. Top up also allowed at the break.

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

Finally there is an online game in Irish Eyes Poker. A €1.50 online tournament with 2 €25 tickets guaranteed to any live event in Star Poker. Go to WWW.STARLEISURE.IE and go to the Poker room section and here you will find step by step instructions to register/enter.
