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.

Olde Forge Tuesday Night Report
Small report from last nights action in the Old Forge Wicklow. There was 17 runners. There were some big hands early on when John leons trip 8s were cracked by Trips Aces. Johnny Dunne also survived an early all in with ace king of diamonds against Niall O'Connors Kings. Johnny spiked a diamond on the Turn, to give him the pot and a Royal Flush Draw, which in the end never came.
Damien O'Connor called a preflop raise by Trevor Conyard who had Kings, and flopped a set of queens. Damien had Queen Jack off. Paddy Clarke made a move when in the Blinds before the break and pushed all in with 7,4 clubs. Trevor called with Ace, 6 and paddy duly hit his flush on the river.
The final 9 was very slow but once 1 went action got faster. Jason Cooper raised to 5k with K,Q, Larry Dias pushed for an extra 4k with Jack, 10 Diamonds and John Leon pushed for nearly 50k. With so much in the pot Jason had no choice but call and was dominated when Johns Aces held up. This gave John a commanding chip lead. Niall O'Connor was next to go, followed by Fran Higgins who was blinded out. Brian Connolly was the bubble boy but unlucky to be so, as Johnny dunne was all in for 7k and Trevor and John called as the blinds were 3/6k. Trevor flopped a set of 6s, and johhny hit runner runner straight.
Johnny finally went out in 4th when he pushed all in with Ace 7, Trevor went over the top and Pushed all in for about 30k with Ace Jack, John Leon pondered and finally called with Ace King. Trevor Spiked a Jack on the river to take the pot and become chip leader. Play was 3 handed for a while and the 3 players decided to chop 3 ways. Well Done Trevor, Scott and John.

Tuesday Night Poker
The first game to report is in the Olde Forge Wicklow Town tonight. Craig ledwith who runs the league is away so week 6 of the league will not take place until next week. Tonight there will be a game, same as every other week except it is not for league points.
Kicking off at 8pm, reg from 7.30pm, €30 freezeout (25 plus 5 reg) Starting stack of 9k, early bird chip of 1000 for anyone in their seat by 8. 15 min clock.
Consistently hits the 20 mark, and some new faces every week.
Finally, the Tuesday game in Jacobs Well, Rathdrum.
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.
Good luck at the table Folks.
