    We have lots going on right now with Leprechaun and IPC Sats but we will run at least 2 sats for the event.

    We will also run a couple of cars down to you. We had a great time at Killarney in October (had 8 players from the club down.) and would love to do it all again.

    Hi Guys,

    Just to tell you that BrucePoker.com will have satellites to the main event of the Lakes of Killarney Festival from Monday the 15th of December and every Monday until the festival begins. To start the build up to the event there will be a guaranteed ticket up for grabs in Monday nights satellite. The price ticket is worth €550 or $725.

    The buy in is $25 + $5 with a starting stack of 1500.
    There will be unlimited rebuys for the first hour for $25 for 2000 in chips
    there will be an add-on of 3000 chips after the rebuy period for $25.

    This will be the only Monday night satellite where we will be guaranteeing a ticket. From the 22nd of December the satellites will be dependent on the prizepool. Ie: the prizepool will need to hit $725 for 1 ticket to be released, $1450 for 2 tickets to be released, etc.

    Well, we had 185 runners last year. I'll be dissappointed if we dont have at least 150, but if I was forced to guess, I'd estimate about 200.

    Keep us posted if you are running any satts at the Cue Club Connie. I know a few of the West Limerick lads are looking for a chance at a ticket for the big one.

    Mods are you watching.

    How can someone with only 2 posts be allowed post these scurrilous remarks based on rumour.

    This place is full of personal vendettas & posters who have to hide behind a "new" name, shouldn't be allowed IMO.

    hi all
    was down in connies neck of woods last weekend was gonna play game or 2 but was informed in local pub by few guys that play in qclub that lots of talk around town of monies being creamed of top in club . decided not to play in club on these grounds, and these guys are well known club players, thought this info should be made available
    regards tony


    Hi,
    So you were down my neck of the woods last week, heard these disturbing rumours, decided not to play in the club because of them, and then decided you'd wait until xmas day to post them? Just incase your ever down this way again, I'd be as happy if you stayed in the pub you were in.

    I've really more to do on xmas day than come in here defending myself. I'll let my record speak for itself.
    And thanks dave for jumping in there in my defense. Methinks not only is our new poster not named "tony", but also he didnt "just happen" to be in my neck of the woods.

    As some people have said above this talk of rumours from a first time poster sounds very suspect. As I'm just checking in from my phone I can't do a full check, but I suspect a double account/troll. With this in mind I'm issuing a ban pending further investigation.

    Just to say that connie has always provided full transparency for his events and runs an excellent show. Furthermore he has always answered any questions about his events on boards and taken on board feedback. I'm dismayed he had to deal with this crap on Xmas day

    Never played in Killarney in Connie's club but i've been on boards for a long time & nobody has nothing but good things to say about Connie & the tournaments he runs.

    They are allways excellent value for money with great structures & good food provided.

    Why some p*ick feels the need to come on here spouting off on Christmas day baffles me!

    Rise above it Connie you have absolutely nothing to answer to.

    Happy Christmas to everyone on Boards (except the p*ick of course :D)

    Report posts people! Did you really expect us to be reading every thread in every forum on Christmas Day?? Except for a reported post (not from you) this would probably have been missed...

    Anyway, just to save Kev the hassle doing it later, I did a check on the 2 post idiot, and it doesn't look like a dual account, (it could easily be though), either way, the posts have been deleted he's been banned and we can now get back on topic hopefully.

    Anyway do you know if Bucepoker plan to hold sats on nights other than mondays? Bad night for me.

    I think my little request to be updated on any Satts at the Cue Club might (very understandably) have got over looked so just taught I'd pop it up again.

    Satts in the Cue Club will run every Saturday in January at 8pm. €40 with 1 rebuy or top-up. We will also be holding a couple of Sunday games with a view to qualifying players for the festival.

    If you need any more details, ring me on 087-2833343, or the cue club on 064-30057.
