Best of luck with this JP. After a couple of flase starts, you deserve to have a place that pulls in the crowd and makes you a few quid. You've put a lot into the poker community over the last few years so hopefully this is a new turning point for you.

We had a dry run last with friends and family, about 100.

My guess is 40-50 tonight for the poker.

THIS?

Sparky1808

Sounds great JP... and if only I'd of read this thread earlier I would have made it down for the €250 game as it looks like an awesome structure and I have no doubt - that this new venture will be a big success for you.

I managed to make it down to the Red Cow before when you ran the €125 (15k stack) tournament and it was ran very professionally and smoothly. So i'm sure this is run to the same excellent standards.

So i'll be hoping to make it down to the Citywest over the next few weeks.

The Clamper

THANKS FOR THAT CHD

HEY JP
WILL YOU PUT ME +1 DOWN FOR TOMORROWS GAME PLEASE

THANKS

Dara O'Kearney 371.5k

Holy crap, another final table? Dara seems to final table about half the events he plays in Ireland. When I left late last night, blinds were 1/2K and Dara seemed to be sitting on about 15K, how on earth did he get it up to 371.5k?

Ditto Damo Kavanagh who has a great record in these events.

Good to see Dave the Mouth Masters back on the scene too, even if the furniture in JP's beautifully appointed new place may be at risk if he takes a bad beat today

Need to run really good to get back into this with only 78K. Nearly had ourselves a father & son on the final table but it was not to be. Good luck to all today, but mostly to me

Hi ste,

your going to have to introduce yourself to me today if your up. I don't think the TV will be sorted until tomorrow, sorry about that.

Lilywhitehero

how many runners expected today? is it cash and a ticket or does some of prizepool go to the tickets?

JohnnyL

Excellent value for money & as expected another well managed tournament by jp/cristine.
Had a rollercoaster of a tournament & had the most fun in a long time playing poker, just missing the final table,gl to all that's left, damo,dave....I really liked the card room & i hope this 1 works out for you mate.

Lilywhitehero wrote: »

Today is a super sat. So 1 ticket for every €1500, any additional prize pool money will go to the next person.

E.g 40 players

1st & 2nd €1500 Ticket
3rd €1000 Cash

You will be able to sell the ticket if you win today as i am expecting a good turnout for this, but you may only get €1200/€1300

bops

everything top class JP
super room, location (eg parking etc), super group of lads and super structure

what sums it up for me is that i was probably in the bottom 3 short stacks on the bubble and i had 25 BB's, i'm sick of bubbles so i had plenty to chips to nit it up lol!

looking forward to the next game

...the roulette wheel rocks too imo :pac:

i'm sure this will run well for you

cya soon
