    i played this last night and i was surprised at how poor the field was. on the final table for example there was a italian who was playing for the first time, and he came fifth. is this unusual or is it always this poor.

    if your looking for a decent standard cheap game, play the DIT €5 rebuy on thursdays from 4pm. See signature below for next thursdays free entry game. (is that shameless advertising?? i think it is!)

    i've never played the merrion 20 game so cant comment, but if you want a very good standard for that price range play oscar's 30 game on sunday in the fitz...

    Can I assume its a typo and you meant the merrion €250 f/o?

    No i'm sure he means the €20 f/out.Its full of students like myself calling to the river with A high and hitting backdoor flush before declaring A high and dealer pointing out that you have what is commonly known as the NUTS.

    no i'm happy enough playing against duds. makes the game easier to win when your playing calling stations

    Have to disagree. By the time you get to a final table, a good percentage of the pots you've taken down have been steals. Calling stations tend to out draw you more often than not when they're chasing all the way to the river. One of the ironies of poker is that it's usually easier to outplay a better player with a represented hand than a 'dud' player. Therefore, unless lady luck is on your side and you're picking up monsters, these cheap entry tourneys can often be tougher to win.
