Merrion Casino Club on Mondays

Lafortezza

After the business league in the Fitz last night I wandered up to the Merrion for the 9o'clock start. Its basically the same deal as thursday satellites in the Fitz, free entry, tenner rebuys for first hour and a half.
Its a nice club, not as openly spaced as the Fitz, 6 poker tables but less space. The do the complementary drinks thing as well and no dealers for the free entry

One good thing is that the games are nowhere near as loose as the fitz pre-freezeout. I planned to buy in once, and was more than likely getting the bus home before 12, so I played fairly loose. Won a few hands lost a few hands, had fun for a tenner.

I'd recommend it if you're dying for a game of poker on a monday and can't wait til thursday, there's various other buy in games during the week like the Fitz.
Personally I'll stick with the Fitz, seems a bit more organised and the staff are friendlier.

so what tournament do you qualify for, is it another end of month jobby, how many players were there, do you know how many tickets were there to be won?

The prize is a ticket to the €100 buy-in Tuesday game. I also went along. Decisded I was not going to buy-in or top up and tried a new style of play. My new style involved going all-in 6 or 7 hands in a row, (I got a text from my gf and was going to go and pick her up.) I ended up winning a tidy sum. I eventually went out in 11th 1 off the final table. All in all it was a good night. The style of play is a bit different to the Fitz on Thursday. Well worth a punt.

So it's official then - the new style - 'The Pick-Up' - has a nice ring to it.

You can joke but that is basically what happened. Unfortunatly for my GF I began to make out like a bandit and had to text her back and tell her to get the bus home. I feel kinda bad cos she went to London at 5am this morning on business and won't be back till late tonight, and then she goes to France tomorrow for a fortnight on holiday.... without me!!

I have to say, there has been a bit of talk about the whole going all in willy nilly before the freeze out. I am coming round to it. That is probably cos I didn't have to rebuy though. If I had lost each of those all ins I imagine I would be thinking a bit different.
