Friday Night Poker

The weekend has landed and probably the busies night of the week, when it comes to poker games and crowds around the county tonight

Action as follows:

Doyles Rathnew, starts at 8.00pm. Seems to usually get 2 tables. €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. All money taken in on the night goes back out in the prizefund.

The Kennedy inn, Newtown. Starts at 8.00pm, buy in is €20, with a €20 top up. early bird chip of 1k if your there before 8. Starting stack of 10k and a 20 min clock. The topup/rebuy is also for 10k. Consistently getting 2 tables now and could be more and some of the regulars have been missing the last few weeks, this is a good game. Best hand of the night also gets free entry for the following week.

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 40/50 plus runners. Refreshments available throughout and hot food served at the break.

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.

Have a good weekend and good luck at the tables.

Thursday Night Poker

1st off, we start in the Coach House Roundwood.
Kicks off at 8.00pm, Buy in is €35 (20 buy in, 10 top up and 5 reg). If you dont take the top-up its €25. The starting stacks are 5k and the top is the same. Blinds are 15/20. Hot food served on the break. Always has 2 tables. Friendly Game, new players welcome, Ritchie Cullen runs the game here.

Star Poker Bray, have a €20 rebuy satellite to their 2nd big €220 game in August . Kicking off at 8.00pm, you can late register up to the end of the break at 9.30pm. Starting stack of 5k and a 15 minute clock, unlimited €10 rebuys up to the break (€10 each, 5k stack) and 1 top up allowed at the break for €10 for another 5k. Refreshments available throughout and hot food served at the break. Usually always have 40 players but could get more with some players trying to sat their way into the big game. well worth a shot, but its a shootout up to the break!! The recent Super sunday had 90 players and an 18k prizepool, so I would expect the next to be somewhere along the same lines.

Cash table available usually after 10 and fill up quickly. 25/50c blinds, 10% rake once the flop is seen and capped at €3 per pot. tables usually fill up fairly fast.

Finally Whistlers are having a €20 plus 2 €10 top ups/rebuys game tonight. Kicking off at 8pm. Usually always gets 1 table.

Best of Luck.
