    Hey Neill,

    Heard the €100 freezeout on a friday is returning and if so when.

    Mon-€25
    Tues-€35
    Weds-€50
    Thurs-€40
    Fri-€75
    Sat-€50
    Sun-€40
    These tournys dont really have any value to play in.
    No offence but maybe price out the muppets for one night of the week so the rest of us can play. I know a lot of the long time members would be in favour of this. Maybe it could be a 100% payout for the old regulars.
    Might get a few in for a cash game too.

    Surely a game with good regs will be a lot less value than the usual donkish games?

    "Muppets" are the value in tournaments.

    All the tournaments I mentioned run for 5-6 hours
    with such small buy-in theres no point coming 2nd or 3rd, the reward is crap.
    At least if you got a €100 f/o you get a return for your money if you make the money.
    I dont see the point in sitting in a €35 tourny.less 10% league board money with 30 odd runners after 5 hours get to the money and get 70 or 80 euro for gettin into the money.
    Waste of time. Would much prefer to play with good players for a night and maybe learn something and if you cash its not €70.

    The reason I asked the question was because it was said to me that the friday €100 f/o was starting again and from the players I spoke to All wanted it.
    And............if you have a €100 f/o you might get a few players with more than €50 in there pocket for a cash game, after all don't clubs make there money from cash players rake?

    See the light....better tournys = better players = better cash games afterwards= more rake=BETTER BUSINESS?

    Are you having a laugh, who wants to sit into a cash game full of actual poker players. more clowns/muppets = more players = more rake.

    you never make any sense do ya;)

    Richie..........the clowns and muppets don't have any money....thats why there clowns and muppets..think about it.
    you obviously havent been to a cash game in waterford in a longgggg time.
    the latest i've finished in the last 2months is 3am. and thats usually 3 or 4 handed. long gone are the days of full tables until 6am.
    Very sad but true.. Pat is even missing nights...how bad is that
