Yeah thats what we set about doing when we set up. Decent, slow structured tournaments to allow "poker" to be played from start to finish. Plus for a €250 event you want to get good value for your buy in.

We had a good response to our advertising campaign so far and looks like it could hit the 30+ mark at this stage...but that remains to be seen on the day :eek:

If you require anymore info we'll be more than happy to help.

Thanks to everyone that played yesterday. We had 28 runners, so managed to give out 2 tickets to the main event. Congrats to Micheal O'Hara and Brendan McHugh.

Sorry forgot to mention in that post that everyone decided to pay an extra €25 each and therefore 2 tickets were available...rather than one ticket and a load of cash prizes.
Everyone was more than pleased that there was 2 tickets instead of one.

Played in this tournament.

Really good value. In fact exceptional value and a perfect turnout. The lads are most definitely not in it for the money thats for sure......12,000 starting stack, 30 minute clock and not one level skipped.

Really would like to see lots more players supporting your tournaments lads, nicely done.

Hope I can make it to the next one.

Appreciate that Steve! And the three of us are heading down Sunday to your satellite. We've put the flyers around Boyle and Tubbercurry for you, and we'll spread the word on Thursday night as well.
Thanks for your help Sunday as well buddy.
