    Mullingar has been much more normal of late. Regular game is 1-3 NLHE, sometimes moving to 5-5 NLHE later in the night. There are a lot of younger players there now with smaller stacks (i.e. buying in for €100), so it's much easier to get started in the game now. And there are the usual gamblers with the bigger stacks as well, so there is potential for big pay-offs.

    AFAIK, the game was as big as 25-50NL on occasion.
