Silks new poker room

rivered

Hi went to silks opening night last night was impressed. great structure and play with lots of chips and good blind levels . B.B.Q outside for the food and wait for it a smoking cash game table outside ( even though they have to sort out the heaters!). it was a good craic and a good addition to dublins poker scene.

I was thinking of heading into this last night but laziness got the better of me. How many runners were there? Do you know what time it finished up?

Started shorthanded with 18 runners i think although more than a few joined in the next hour or so after starting. I got ko'd shortly before FT formed at 1am ish so i'd say it went on till 2-2.30am.

25 runners last night and I busted 3rd at about 3.30 - a nice clock with larger than usual stacks meant a late one. The place has a nice atmosphere, quite reminisent of the Merrion. Outside table & bbq were fantastic, though nothing compared to the BuckRogers styled final table. Spent the entire evening trying to resist saying 'I raise 2000 cubitz' or 'sensors indicate busted flush captain'

where is this located and what is their website?

yeah sounds and looks a nice place, another great addition to the scene. the only problem with competition is that will it be hard to get a decent 100 runner game anymore with so many people spread out everywhere?

Earlsfort terrace Gholi, just off Leeson Street, past the Conrad hotel.

surely that's only two letters?

after reading Rounders description of the Vietnamese chef casually adding cigarette ashes to the BBQ selection, I wouldn't be too confident of the fare on offer....

Cigarrettes, poker and a bbq............ sounds like my kinda night!!

Whether or not they put that smoking cash table to use is questionable imo. Because when i played the tourney and it was getting late i heard the td telling players the cash tables were upstairs. imo they would use that 'outside' table as an overflow tournie table if numbers went up or more cash games started.

BBQ chicken with essence of John Player Blue is quite the combination!.

I was on this smoking cash game on thursday it was the first cash game to start (funnily enough lol), Its so nice to have a beer and a fag and playing poker .I think the only cash tables upstairs are the blackjack and roulette.

I will certainly welcome another addition to the Dublin poker scene... everyone, go to silks tonight...it's bound to be great! Cash tables I hear are soft and full of fish....go check it out...

Cough and leave the Fitz and SE to me.....

every fkin cash table has at least 4 boardsters on it these days, as a result money is getting harder to make.... no value in sitting down at a table mainly filled by boardsters....

DocO

agreed! esp wen u dont no who they are, and so understimate your opponent, can everyone wear name tags from now on?

yes thats what im afraid of, although the poorer ones will probably fade out, like the CPT disbanding apprently, (there was a thread about it earlier). once everyone does 30 min clocks and 10K starting stacks, where do you go? i havent been to silks yet, but the fitz have been doing a great job for quite a while so ill be slow to leave it too, but with the merrion goin there is a place up for grabs i expect...
