Tuesday 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!! This game usually gets 2 tables. Also one point to note is, i have played this game and sometimes in different places, they have different rules and this is one such place. Nothing major, just in relation to raising/blinds etc! otherwise a good game with some very nice people.

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 there is an online game in Irish Eyes Poker. A free entry online tournament with 2 €25 tickets guaranteed to any live event in Star Poker. Go to WWW.STARLEISURE.IE and go to the Poker room section and here you will find step by step instructions to register/enter.
