*** V.N. E50 one rebuy OR top up ***

VEGAS NIGHTS

I have set a date for Febuarys one rebuy OR top up. The venue is not available on either of the remaining saturdays so this one will be on sunday 26th Feb in The Anglers Rest, Chapelizoid, Dublin.

A few points to note..........

* I tried to round up enough relyable dealers but couldn't get enough comitment so this will be self-deal like the last one.

* Januarys tournament finnished at 11:30pm. After chatting with players I think the general feedback is to finnish by 9:30pm. I am proposing 30min blind levels instesd of 40min but am open to feedback on this.

* January's event had 81 runners with 77 using their rebuy or top up option thus a prize fund of E7,900 (+E100 to bring total prize pool to E8,000).

* I estimate 90 players will attend this game and an estimated prize pool of E8,000 again.

I have to say I really enjoyed the 40 min blinds, how about 30 minute blinds untill level 6 then after that break have 40 min ? I prefer more play later on.

Sounds good nick, The Carling Cup Final is on the same day, hope such a major european trophy won't affect the turnout;)

I'll be there I can watch Uniteds 6 goal romp on match of the day!

Yeh, would agree with this, makes it better for game play. Dont really want a crapshoot with the last 16 players

Ollieboy

Also, I dont think people mind playing to closing time on a Sunday, its just the Saturday night people rather get home to the wife.

But not me and NTL. lol. Just got to make a final table now.

roryc

I'll be there. 2 out of 2...

That's because when I fall in the door at 6.30 I make her breakfast in bed, I 'm a smooth fecker really :rolleyes:

ditpoker

any chance of VN doing some deal with PPP and run $3 tourneys online, first prize is €110 to cover the buy in and rebuy chip for the monthly VN game? this wont appeal to the highrollers among us but might appeal to others, and you could attract more dublin based players for the event.

also, i lik ethe idea of 30min blinds, then 40mins later on... although on recent form i wont have to worry about blind structures beyond level two...

SandyVN

Il play you 55e heads up.:D

Iceman78

now that is a challenge sandy, u sound very confident of winning that heads up game!!

SandyVN

I knew you walked into a monster but I thought it was you with KK, I'd alot to drink!

I heard "IT'S CHICO TIME!" coming from your ipod, that's why you pushed with AJ

You should of been listening to something more dull, like the students talking about "mars bars parties"

SandyVN

:eek: ITS CHICO TIME!!! :eek: No i hope not anyway.:eek:

I was listening to 'the hurricane'. I remember because i got knocked out of a side game later on the same song. Dam the *&%*ing Bob Dylan anyway.

Once again :eek:Its chico time:eek: Anyone listening to that deserves to go out.

Il ask the Dit lads for a mars bars party CD.
Some pros say read everything you can get your hands on. Others say you'll only learn from experience.
NTLBELL has just givin me the best advice yet... Who ever thought listening to students could help.

SandyVN

There will be 20e sats on Monday 20th in the Anglers Rest for the 50/50 game on Sun 26th.

10players to a table top 2 get entry fee & a 50e voucher for a re-buy/top up.

Meeting at 7:45 Game starts 8o'c SHARP.

Any questions & Nick will answer as I'm terrible and only remember half of what he told me........ Sorry boss.

Iceman78

Would love to play in the satellites next monday but will be in the Cuckoos looking for more points for the trip to London.

You must be hard up now Sandy if u r running satellites.

ditpoker

Good luck to all.

I am afraid not that dubious title went to me. I went out just as Nick announced your arrival.

The only reason I went was because I had my ticket all ready, I was still drunk from the wedding the night before and hobbling after my limbo injury.

I just went straight home back to bed!

Anyone know who won?

Culchie

The last 4 did a deal, and played for 800 I think.

I was out in 11th, after villan spending 28K of his 32K chasing a middle pin draw.....which he found on the river:mad:

Tyrone fellah, with a little birthmark on his face (Anglers Regular) was one, above villan was another... too drunk to find out how it finished up, and busy losing my last few quid I had playing pool and STT's.

Great day as always, fine spread put on for last 16. gg Nick

ionapaul

Very disappointed about my exit in 5th, I thought it was very winnable. Two of the final 4 shouldn't have been there at the end of the night. Will put up a report on my blog at some stage.

Yeh, it very winnable yesterday Paul, gutted tbh. Was reasonably sure that myself, yourself and Big Dragon were set for a big pay day yesterday.
