Saturday Night Poker
Star Poker Bray is on tonight and its the same tournament as a Friday Night "the double chance tournament. Be knocked out or go bust before the end of the break and you can rebuy again for €25 (20 plus 5 reg). Starts at 8.00pm and you can register up to 9.30pm. Blinds are 15 mins and a 10k starting stack. Refreshments served throughout and hot food served at the break. probably get 30 plus again tonight, maybe more with the run-in to christmas.
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 is €200

Grand Hotel Wicklow Deepstack Sunday Reminder
€75 Entry (€60 plus €15)
Fully Dealer Dealt, Food on the break and some Poker gear will be handed out as well for best hands etc as there wont be enough to go around. (Thanks to Irish Eyes and Boyle Poker for this).
Starting stack 20k. Blinds 25 mins before the break (2 hours play) and 30 minutes when you return (30 min break).
There is an option of a dealer tip of €5 for an extra 5k in chips. This is optional and I would like to see what players would think of this. Not all players will take it and puts them at a disadvantage straight away as they would be 5k down in chips. Please let me know what you think!!
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.
Finally I would like to know what kind of numbers that will be showing up, if you can tweet me, comment on the blog/facebook, text me 0868446556, or email me wicklowpkrscene@gmail.com, just so I have an indication of numbers.
I WOULD IDEALLY LIKE IF PEOPLE WOULD PREBOOK/PRE-REGISTER BY TEXT ON THE ABOVE NUMBER SO TO KNOW WHAT NUMBERS IM EXPECTING
Christmas Jumpers and Christmas Hats are a must!!
The poker awards will also be handed out on the break if the players etc are in attendance.
Please feel free to contact me should you have any queries.
Also There more than likely will be a cash game afterwards and last night I was asked to run a NLH game and an Omaha Game. If anyone is interested please can you let me know.
If its a thing where 2 cash games get going, one table will be 50c/€1 and the 2nd table will be €1/€2.
Thanks Everyone.
Friday Night Poker
Action for tonight is as follows:
Doyles Rathnew, starts at 8.00pm. Seems to be getting 2 tables consistently now. €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. The league final was last week so im not sure what kind of numbers they will get tonight.
The Kennedy inn, Newtown. No game here tonight.
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. With the xmas run in Star's games have been getting big numbers and id expect the same tonight.
Cash tables run until late and usually have 2 going. 25/50c blinds. 10% 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. Starting at 9pm, 10k stack, no reg 30 freezeout. No idea on structure/blinds. Usually gets 1 table at least, and a cash game going later on.
Have a good weekend and good luck at the tables.

Anyone who has voted so far, thank you for doing so. For anyone that is not big into the internet I will be sending out nomination forms (bringing them to different games)so to get your vote.
FINALLY, I CAN ONLY GIVE AWARDS TO THE VENUE, PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN VOTED FOR!! IF YOU THINK THERE IS A BETTER PLAYER THAN THOSE WHO GET THE AWARD ITS BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN VOTED FOR. IM NOT PICKING THE WINNERS, THE VOTES ARE, WITHOUT THEM I COULDNT HAVE DONE THIS.
Ill post the same post every week up to the event, so happy voting. Entries were going to close on the 17th December but Im going to close them next week on the 21st Instead.
Cheers.
