Hey, just a quick email to see if there's any interest in this... this saturday at 6pm in The Sporting Emporium (South Anne's St, near grafton st) there is a 200 euro (+20 reg fee) tournament. There is an 8000 starting stack with 45minute blind levels, final table to be played on Sunday. This is probably the best structured tournament in Dublin in along time, and the field includes some of Ireland's best poker pro's including no less than six players who played in this years world series of poker in Las Vegas (three of whom won ALOT of money!!).

Obviosuly for most students 220 euro is above our budget, thats why i'm looking for interest in a qualifier this friday at 1pm in DIT Aungier St, 15 euro with one rebuy, max spend is 30 euro, if we get 10 or 15 players we could have 2 tickets up for grabs. Reply to this email if you are intersted.

as above, reply to this thread if interested.
would 10 euro multi rebuy be better???

I'd be up for this jeff, ten euro rebuy would be better imo.

Anyways......... How did you get on last night?

Trippie

7th, i got moved to table one as soon as you's left and got pocket kings against 9's from the rock of gibraltar and doubled up to 60k and then motored onto the final table with the chip lead, i had about 120k and the young guy was 2nd in chips with about a 100

Then with 7 to go blinds at 3/6k i picked up 89diamonds and decided to limp cause there was a lot of preflop raises being punished by all-ins.The rock like guy called in sb and the flop came J 10 of diamonds 4 of clubs and he bet 14k, i raised it to 35 and he went all-in for roughly 100k so i decided to take a chance coz if i hit illl have half the chips in play and a good chance of winning it and if not im still in.

I didnt realise how much he had exactly and lost to his QJ and was left with only 16k left and in the blinds pretty soon so i just said gave up and went all-in with K8 sooooted and didnt connect.600 quid though and a round of applause for playing amazing so i was happy enough

oh right seeing as the 200 game is being played in the SE I too wont be able to play. Boo urns

Any idea of what the structure is gonna be Jeff? I only finish college at 2 so i'll prob make it in for half. But if you do the same structure as the last sat with 7 or 8k starting stack i mite just buy in and top-up and get blinded off. Of course i'll just be playing for the cash cos the SE sucks major ass.

Rub it in why don't ya...

fiddlesticks

Ill play but only for the cash and to beat jeff...

ditpoker

so would we get many runners for a 10 euro rebuy game, prize money paid out in 220's. 2pm start, 20min blinds.. 2k start stack, 2500 rebuy, 3k top up, this should encourage plenty of rebuys.

edit: think 1pm start it'll have to be as i have alot of emails from soc members saying they will play so we have to accomodate.

fiddlesticks

Id prefer the 15euro with one re-buy or top-up..
Or change the structure, more money should mean bigger stacks..

ditpoker

There has been a fairly good response to this from DIT Poker Soc members via email. So...

1pm reg, cards no later than 1.30pm.
10 euro multi-rebuy for first 4 levels.
Think we could get about 3 or 4 tickets easily at the moment.
Advise on structure greatly appreciated but bare in mind we want to swell the pot as much as possible and we want to encourage students to play.
2k buy in, 2500 rebuy, 3000 top up.
OR
2500 buy in, 2500 rebuy, 3000 top up.
we dont want too many chips in play cos it could get messy, on average if everyone spends 20 quid the average stack will be at least 4500 at the 150/300 level which aint too bad, average will probably be higher...

i wanna confirm a structure here on boards before i send an email out.

Any thoughts? from anyone but fiddlesticks? Anyone?

fiddlesticks

2500 buy in, 2500 rebuy, 3000 top up......:D
