    Ok, I haven't played much lately, but when I hit the local tourney scene again my plan is to only play games with 30min+ levels. The only game I know with this length of levels is the Fitz EOM, so can anyone point me in the direction of any other 30min+ games?

    Edit: Online games considered as well.

    Vegas nights EOM game Lenny. Has 30 minute levels all the way and starts at 1pm on a Sunday generally. It is self deal which slows it down a little but the standard of dealing by the players is pretty good, its generally 8 handed and there is generally a tasty sprinkling of very bad players with a great structure so don't let the self deal put you off.

    I've missed the last few myself for various reasons but its one of the best and most fun games around and I'll be back for sure.

    Edit: Obviously it goes without saying to you Lenny but others may not be aware of the JJP festival coming up which looks like being an absolute cracker with 45 minute levels in the €300 game. Sweet!

    Hotel Directions:

    From the south take the Julianstown/Drogheda south exit off the M1 and follow the Dublin road to Drogheda, as you enter the town the Boyne Valley Hotel is on your right. If you reach the Black Bull pub you have gone too far!

    From the North take the Slane exit off the M1 and drive straight through Drogheda following the signs for Dublin. As you leave the town you will see the Boyne Valley Hotel on the left just past the Black Bull pub.


    Boyne Valley Telephone number is 041 9837737.


    It is great value for money and they have 90+ on average. They have cash games running €2 €5 limit and €1 €2 No Limit games and STT's for people who are knocked out. Good mix of players.

    Well worth a trip. I thoroughly enjoy the tournaments and they are run very well.

    Pokerstars have introduced 30 minute blind games in the last couple days. They are infrequent and of differing stakes. I see that tournaments posted on the site currently are $7.70, $8.80 and $22 games 2,500 starting stack and 30 minute blinds!

    Thanks for the replies lads, plenty for me to be going on there.

    An internet tourney with 30min blinds sounds very interesting, especially considering they arent all high level entry tourneys, id almost be inclined to stick some money into pstars to try these out.

    just a suggestion: these tourny's should really be added to the sticky, especially the online ones, i've never heard of 30min blinds online!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,179 ✭✭✭White Knight


    yeah deepstacks are great tourneys alright but you really have to be set for a marathon session if you are playing one. Circa 12 hours with the 5000 starting stack :eek:

    I have not tried the 2500 starting stack ones yet but they sound ideal for a decent game and i have a felling there are just testing them out currently so I would expect to see the bigger buy ins around the weekend time.
