HAPPY CHRISTMAS

Happy Christmas to all the readers, contributors and most of all, the poker players from Trevor at Wicklowpkrscene.

Hope you all have a great time. I'm logging off from now until the new year so best wishes!

Wicklowpkrscene Deepstack Sunday results

Congratulations to Alan Jordan who won the annual Christmas Deepstack tournie in the Grand Hotel Wicklow. Alan took top prize of €960 for his troubles and deserved his win as he was solid all day. When he needed to fold he folded and when he went All in or called an all in, he got it in good.

2nd place went to Karl McBride who had a very good run and won €670, Rowan van Embden got 3rd for €440, Kevin Malone 4th for €220 and Jim Connors 5th for €100.

The very last hand was an interesting one as Rowan pushed with 3s, Karl tanked for a while and finally shipped holding 7s. Alan snap called with Ace, Queen and spiked a Queen on the turn to take the win.

Thanks to all the players who showed up and thanks to the dealers Darek, Niall, Jacob & John.

Sunday Poker

€100 Entry (€85 plus €15 reg)

Fully Dealer Dealt, Food on the break with a starting stack of 30k. Blinds 25 mins before the break and 30 minutes when you return (20 min break). The bar will be open in the Friar Suite and there is also a food menu if you feel peckish!

I have included Antes in the structure to entice some action, especially with the blinds being so long. I dont think we will hit blinds of 50000/100000 but I have included them for all to see.

Christmas Jumpers and Christmas Hats are a must!! (Joe Baker one of the only men last year to wear them!!) Good man Joe

Finally for those who want to try get into the game cheap, Ill be running full table €10 per man satellites (No reg like most places do). Theres a choice of 2 game, Omaha or Hold'em. Simply one hand will be dealt face up and the winner has the buy in for the tournament. If its a thing where there are 6/7 even 8 players same rules apply the winner gets the pot to put towards his/her entrance fee. Its for the players who want to try get into the game on the cheap and im sure this will interest a good few of the players!

Also There more than likely will be a cash game afterwards and depending on requests we will run a NLH game and an Omaha Game.

If its a thing where 2 cash games get going, one table will be 50c/€1 and the 2nd table will be €1/€2. Last year the cash game was quite big with some pots over €200.

Last year Dave Walsh & Jason O'Brien chopped the main game for €850 each with the top 7 getting paid. we had over 40 runners in a nice relaxed venue with a great atmosphere. Im not just plugging the game, ask any player that played last year who didnt enjoy themselves!

Depending on time and numbers, if theres interest there will be a turbo side game later in the day. €20 freezeout, small stack and shorter blind levels. (this i will confirm)

Finally the Structure of the game is as below:

Also;

StarPoker Bray, Kicks off at 8.00pm and you can register up to the end of the break at 9.30pm. Buy in is €20 (15 plus 5 reg). 10k starting stack and a 15 minute clock. Refreshments served throughout and sambos served on 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 has been increased to €300.

Star Poker Bray Wednesday Night Christmas Party Pictures

I went along to the game, amazingly 125 players sat down to play! a great night was had by all, apart from anyone that went out on a bad beat.

Personally a quick note to say thanks to Martin, David and Mick from Star Bray for presenting me with an award for the Blog. I dont look for anything for the site, its all free and takes a bit of time but to be acknowledged was very pleasing. Other presentations on the night went to the player of the year, Colm Martin and a number of others too (see the pictures below). Results to follow later!!

Support Africa Fundraiser Tonight, Esplanade Hotel, Bray

We are running a charity poker tournament in the Esplanade Hotel, Bray on Friday 29 November at 8pm. Paddy Power Poker have very generously given us 3 Irish Open Super Satellite entries at a value of €215 each to add to the prize fund.

Support Africa Foundation works to develop agricultural methods, sustainable water supply, health and education in Ethiopia as these are the best means to improve people’s living standards in the long term. See: supportafrica.ie

Support Africa has focused heavily on empowering the women of Ethiopia to generate their own income. The flagship women's empowerment project which is based in Adigrat provides state of the art childcare for children of single parent families and training is undertaken by the mother for a 6 month period to enable them to start their own business or enter the workplace. After this training period the participants will engage in income generating activity with the majority running their own business in the local towns.

Support is given to the women in the format of micro finance, mentoring and weekly/monthly meetings with peers. Each year sees a new intake of women which allows for this project to make a large impact on this local community.

This fund raising is being undertaken to build a centre for the women of Adigrat. This fundraising has been undertaken primarily by a group of secondary school children in Bray, Ennikerry and North Wicklow. It has included or will include a “Strictly Ballroom” dance event, shopping centre bag packing, pub quizzes and golf events. The overall ambition is to raise in excess of €50,000.

Please note that ALL of the money raised in these events goes DIRECTLY to the Support Africa project.

The buy in structure is going to be €25 to prize fund and €25 to the charity. The organisers will pay for dealers, etc. and the hotel is provided free of charge. Players have the option of giving an additional €10 to the charity in exchange for a further 2,000 chips (on top of the starting stack of 8,000 chips).

The Irish Open Satellite entries provided by Paddy Power Poker are IN ADDITION to the prize fund. These will be added to 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes and make the tournament attractive from a pure poker point of view – with the added bonus of making a real difference to the lives of hundreds of Ethiopian women and their families.

The last time this event was run in 2012 it attracted 43 entries. If we make 50 entries this year the prize fund will be €38 per player - not bad for a €50 (or €60!) charity tournament.

You can register in advance by sending me a PM, at facebook.com/supportafricapoker or by texting 0872465564 with your name - this will help our planning - or of course just show up on the night!
