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. Wally Johnson and Dave Collard split for €250 each last week. Also the Christmas roll over started last week with €200 off the prizepool being held back. Play 7 out of the 12 weeks to qualify for the final night and your chance to win €1000, right before christmas.
The Kennedy inn, Newtown. Starts at 8.00pm, buy in is €20, with a €20 top up. early bird chip of 1k if your there before 8. 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, last week again had 2 tables.
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. Think the number hit 30/40 here tonight.
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 €30 and its a fundraiser. Unlimited €10 rebuys up to the break (possibly 6 levels) and possibly a top up at the break to. Its for a good cause and I believe they are expecting 50 plus for this as over 80/90 tickets have been sold. The game itself is being run by James/Miley from DR Poker.
Have a good weekend and good luck at the tables.

Old Forge Tuesday Night Results
Well Done to Larry "runs like god" Dias, who took down week 9 of the Old Forge Poker League. Larry beat Johnny Dunne heads up, with Paddy Clarke in 3rd. The 3 players agreed a chop of the prizemoney with Larry having the biggest stack. I think Larry wanted the 20 points more than the money!
Anything Larry called he hit, and even when behind he somehow managed to hit to force a chop or win the hand.
Best hand of the night was aces full of 8s, so Damien O'Connor has free entry to next weeks game.
League table will be updated tonight and top 20 posted on the blog and facebook.

Tuesday Night Poker
The first game to report is in the Olde Forge Wicklow Town tonight. Week 9 of the league continues tonight.
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 and an extra 500 if you confirm by text 0868446556.
Best hand of the night gets free entry next week!
Consistently hits the 20 mark, and some new faces every week. Niall O'Connor currently leads the way in the league. Paddy Clarke beat Johnny Dunne heads up last week.
Updated league available tonight also.
Cash Game available afterwards,50c/€1 blinds, rake 5% once a flop is seen capped at €5 per pot.
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.
Pot Limit cash game also runs when enough players are knocked out of the game. I believe they agreed on pot limit as some nights the money on the table would be ridiculous, with players losing what they cant afford!!
Good luck at the table Folks.
