Reasons stated above Joe - if I was a student with little interest in the biggest online tournaments on the inter - web I would be there no problem.

Numbers were down due to Vegas Nights I think it was Vegas Nights running a tournament in Dundalk. On a good note the change of Venue for the Northern Ireland Poker Championships to the City North Hotel, Gormanstown, will be a great chance for the lads to advertise for the GJP Festival in May,

The game, was a dead duck from beginning to end for me, and i made a stupid move with AJ suited and was gone early, early enough not to bother waiting around for Dinner:o Martin lasted longer until his AK ran into pocket queens.

Went out in 12th got involved in a monster pot of 45K with Kx on a K J 8 board knew he was playing with the jacks, a lot of action on flop and turn with a jack hitting the river giving him trips. Was left with about 8k behind, a few orbits later down to about 6.5K and pushed with KQ to be called with AJ and gonesky with an A on flop.

Very suprised with the low turnout for this as for me (unbiased opinion) this along with the SE start of month is the best structure around for players and Mike/Brian/Tom run a very good tourney.
There is always next month.:o

Just to concur to what some others have said, if this was on a Saturday I would probably play every month. As it is, with work on a Monday morning, its just not feasible to travel to Drogheda and back.

started at 3.30pm so a good 12 hours of poker played

Shortstack

1st= Terry Grimley & Baz Hand €4700 Cash split plus a festival €1000 ticket each
3rd JP Woodfull €1750
4th Frank McCartney €1200
5th David Lynsky €950
6th Chris Cooke €750
7th Gary Robb €300


This is never going to be on a Saturday as getting a hotel regularly is a impossible.

It has also never started as late as 4.30pm as stated in a post earlier in this thread - that may have been a Festival side event which had different starting times.

Lack of numbers was due in some part to CPT in Dundalk and JP Poker in Dublin.

Ul Fran and well done Baz. You werent at our dinner table but when there was 32 left and we broke for break, i said that the winner would come from this dinner table (there was 5 there still in) and no-one would take the bet...Baz even laughed about it!

It was good tournanment with a nice structure.

There was great craic (if only you could bottle it!) to be had in the cash game, probably the best I've had at a poker table, thanks for a great nights entertainment.
Niall Murphy and Brendan McKenna are a comedy duo!

Sat down at 9:30pm, 'for 30 minutes', crawled out at 5am

One cash game hand

SB €1
BB €2
straddle 1 €6
straddle 2 €12
straddle 3 €24
straddle 4 €50
straddle 5 €100

The next guy to act pushes all in for €450. Action came back to me and i seriously condisered calling the all in with Q9os for some very weird reason. I didnt thankfully and then the action came back to the BB niall the straddle man who also folded.Easiest €200 the all in guy made ever. The play generally went like this all night. Twas some craic.

Hi All.
I'd just like to share my amazement that there were only 44 runners for this event . As was posted earlier this is one of the top two regular monthly tournaments for value in my view. 44 runners and 12.5 hours of poker, speaks for itself!!.

I'm not sure what the reason is but i'm certain that the numbers will creep up for this in the near future. On a personal note I somehow managed to get into money (6th), I think I only played 2 hands in 100 minutes at the final table(nothing new there!):( . Totally card dead.

Well done to Baz, he played very well at final table.

Keep up good work at GJP.

Reasons for lack of attendance are set forth earlier in this thread. It is a cracking tourney though - no arguements on that score.

Well done on cashing btw. You're always spotted deep in these events.
