Tuesday Poker

Only the 1 live game tonight

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 can get 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. Top up also allowed at the break.

Pot Limit cash game also runs when enough players are knocked out of the game.

Finally, Tonight in Star Poker Bray, there is a benefit night for Jim Connors. It starts at 8pm, Buy ins are €20 with €10 rebuys up to the break and 1 €10 add on (I think the starting stack and rebuys are all 5k)


There will be lots of prizes including :
Free Tournament Entries, Restaurant Vouchers and much more.

Also Big September & Scotty O Neill will be dropping in to play a couple of songs on the night!

Im not sure if the online game is going ahead on irish Eyes. If i hear anything ill update the blog.

Jim Connors Benefit Tournament

As most people are probably aware by now, Jim Connors, a well liked and local poker player has been diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease. Jim would be one of the more well liked guys on the poker table and not too many people would have a bad word to say about him.


Tomorrow night the 7th October, in Star Poker Room Bray, they are very kindly running a benefit night for Jim. It starts at 8pm, Buy ins are €20 with €10 rebuys up to the break and 1 €10 add on (I think the starting stack and rebuys are all 5k)

I would be expecting a fairly big crowd for this as a lot of Jims friend etc will be travelling for the game. (By the way, Jim himself doesnt know about the game, his brother is bringing him along!)

There will be lots of prizes including :
Free Tournament Entries, Restaurant Vouchers and much more.

We would appreciate as much support as possible.

Also a big thank you to a few lads from Big September & Scotty O Neill who will be dropping in to play a couple of songs on the night!
