Banter!!!

A few more people are starting to leave comments, which is a good thing for the blog, however my posts are my opinions!! Im not affiliated to any poker room, pub, game anywhere. The reports I post is what I get. Howver in respect of games I have played in and comment, i.e. the Newtown Game, people have commented they think their game is better with better players etc! Maybe I should try get a team game going and we'l see from there.

"Ryan Dowling says bring it on"

Saturday Night Poker

Star Poker Bray is on tonight and its the same tournament as a Friday Night "the double chance tournament. Be knocked out or go bust before the end of the break and you can rebuy again for €25 (20 plus 5 reg). Starts at 8.00pm and you can register up to 9.30pm. Blinds are 15 mins and a 10k starting stack. Refreshments served throughout and hot food served at the break.

Cash Tables available when enough players are around to start. blinds are 25/50c, 10% rake once a flop is seen and capped at €3 per pot. I think the minimum you can buy onto cash for is €25 and the Maximum is €200

Friday Night Poker

Action for tonight is as follows:

Doyles Rathnew, starts at 8.00pm. Usually gets around 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. Peter Porter has been keeping me informed of winners and pictures when he goes here.

The Kennedy inn, Newtown. Starts at 8.00pm, buy in is €20, with a €20 top up. Starting stack of 10k and a 20 min clock. The topup/rebuy is also for 10k. Usually gets 2 tables and the standard of play is very high, Probably the stronger/better game on a Friday night in my opinion. This has recently been said to me at a tournament by 1 or 2 players who agree, others dont.

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 30 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. 3% rake once a flop is seen, capped at €3 per pot, again the 2 cash tables usually fill up fairly fast.

Also a game in Lynskeys of Arklow. Buy in €35 (30 plus 5 freezeout). run by the same guys that run the sally game on a wednesday DR Poker, Im not sure of the blinds/starting stack or number here. Starts at 8pm sharp and you can reg from 7.30pm. Early bird chip for players in their seats before the game starts and 500 bonus for players who confirm their entry by text. Cash game available afterwards to.

have a good weekend and good luck at the tables.
