We wont be open this fri/sat due to prior obligations, But from sunday we will be open every night . I am still trying to put a schedule togeather . Its nearly impossible to try and figure out what will work . What about you ? What type of game do you go for??

Usually play low/medium stakes touneys in Dublin such as the 50eur DC at the fitz and emporium or 20eur rebuys.

I think the 50eur freezeout on a thurs is a good start. For fridays or saturdays maybe something like a 25eur 2R/T would be a good idea. Or maybe a 60-70eur freezeout. On sundays I think an earlier starting tourney say at 4/5 pm would do well.
A 100eur freezeout during the week would take off eventually. There was one a year or two ago that used to get decent numbers. Say on a wednesday.

A cheaper multi rebuy tourney could also work well someday during the week.

Make sure and advertise in the shops etc in all the surrounding townlands and it should boost numbers. I've found that in the past poker in monaghan has often been poorly advertised.
As you're the first poker room to open in town it'll be a process of trial and error to figure out what will work best.

Heh Damo,

Its great to have somewhere to go play live poker now every night in Monaghan.

I should make a good few of your games, Dont think I will make it tomorrow night as we have a game in a friends house and its hard to pass up since the majority of them arent great players

Theres a right few of us that have started playing live a lot recently so I will try divert them your way as much as possible.

petethebrick has listed a good few tournaments, I think they would be perfect. During the week the funds could be low, so if it was a 20euro buyin with rebuy's i'd say it would go down well. You will get more players with the low buyin's and most will rebuy/top up to boost the prizepool.

Also what petethebrick said Sunday, It would be good having a big tournament. This would be my pref day to play poker. Evening start's at about 5 o' clock should go down well. I think a 50/70/100euro buyin deepstack.

100 is a bit steep tho, I cant see many playing it. Unless the 100 included 1 rebuy / top up.

Best of luck with the new club Damo,

Well Damo,

Wish u all the best m8, as far as what tourneys and when, i wud suggest not running anything big on sundays as the summer is coming, its football season and u know how football is supported around monaghan!!
The winter months are better for sunday games, once ur up and running, id say wednesday or fridays nights wud be best for a 100 f/o.
The 100 f/o used to get good numbers when it was in the seasons, so the demand is there.
As ye know urself...advertising around the town and surrounding towns is key!

p.s I will look forward to playin the first OFFICIAL Monaghan poker open in ur place
