Tuesday Night Poker

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!!

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.

Finally the 2nd home game on pokerstars is on tonight at 9pm. The buy in is $11, you can rebuy for another $11 and theres an option of 1 top up at the break for another $11. Cash games will be running as well, usually small enough 2c/5c etc. Last time we had 18 runners and it was good fun so hopefully tonight we get nearer the same.
