Please please add this level, without this level the Cost per round goes from 1500 (at the 500/100 round) to 3200 basically the equivalent of going from 500/1000 to 1000/2000. I hope to get up to Dublin next Friday to play and was hoping to play this tourney.

Ill look into it, its the same structure we used in CHLs and we do give the extra 10 mins on the clock from there. If anything it went on too long.

JP Poker

Good luck with the new schedule lads, looks great.

Glowingmind

Do you reckon if i show up for the DC tonight without ID they'll believe i'm over 18?

ollyk1

Some good craic at this last night. 11 runners so a nice bit of overlay. Over by 1am so handy for the working stiffs and plenty of food at the break.

Seemed to be a decent cash game going when I was leaving with a few Chinese gamblers and a few members of the taxi community

I reckon Silks might attract a decent amount of fish so I'm hopeful for the long term prospects with Luke at the helm.

I walked in and said I was already a member and that seemed to be enough (I am since about 3 years ago).

Give a ring in advance Ed if you aren't already a member and I'd say there would be no problems provided you bring id the next time.

bohsman

They can be a bit strict over id.

ionapaul

I played in the €50 + 5 DC last night; 15 runners, which resulted in a €250 overlay. The structure was alright with a fair amount of play. We actually got 3000+3000 in chips, rather than 2500+2500.

Luke was his usual friendly self, the standard of play no better than any of the other casinos in Dublin and tasty sandwiches, sausages and toasted ham and cheese sandwiches for the break.

Just like Arnie, I'll be back.

Structures for Lukes tournaments are excellent, no need to change them. Adding more levels would be going a bit far imo.

not to mention tracksuit bottoms either, as i found out to my embarrassment.

lovely club though, had a great night the other night when myself and a friend went in. had a super laugh, very relaxed and good banter unlike a lot of other clubs.

Jools Poker

couldn't agree more- love this place! And 600€ overlay last friday- best value in town!!

Macspower

Just back from it tonight.... Please please get coffee sorted .... it is the worst I've ever had... I went and got my own at the break last week and had it taken off me by security/manager!!!

Great tourney atmosphere as usual... Damn EKTOR and my AA

Ace2007

musy say the hot chocolate is literally the best ive ever had in there, so touché!
I was considering going in the next night just for the HC.

LashLeroux

Just wondering if this is up to date, if so will be playing this wednesday and curious what time reg starts at on wednesdays

Get In There

Just asking on behalf of a friend, is this place strictly over 21s??

bohsman

18s afaik, hadnt heard anything about it being 21s anyway.

Schedule is up to date, reg from 9 45 or so but the casino is open before that, just nobody in the poker section.

Get In There

Oscar, if you could get confirmation its over 18, I'll get a couple of my mates to come the next time. (wouldnt want pursuade them to come along, only to arrive to be told its over 21s)

bohsman

Sorry about that, its actually 21s.

Samson

Bit tight on the dress code too - no track suit bottoms allowed.
I'm not speaking from personal experience, but I was there when someone was turned away.

KoolKid

Im looking for a good regular game for Fridays. This looks good..
What the standard of play?

More importantly is there a full bar?? :rolleyes:

bohsman

Free bar on the gaming floor, no alcohol on the poker floor.

Ace2007

he asked was there a full bar not a free bar - nice to see its free thought....

bohsman

Full? They have a few things on tap and Im sure several types of spirits, I havent spent any time on the gaming floor.

KoolKid

So its no drink while playing poker?????

me and my mate are heading down to dublin on fri nite for the IPO on saturday and we're looking for a good game, as the side event at the IPO looks to be a really fast structure, 2k starting stack at 25/50 would just tilt me lol

so just a few questions about this club on a fri nite

1. is this place strictly over 18?

2. is ID essential? i am 23 but the only ID i have is a student card, my friend is 21 but as far as i know he doesnt have any ID. what way does that leave us?

3. How many runners on a friday nite and what time does it usually wrap up at?

thanks in advance

KoolKid

With the IPO on this weekend this could be a very good game.

TripleAce

Is late registration accepted? I may be up to 1 hour late to due travel constrains...don't mind losing 1 or 2 levels of blinds.....

1) Place is 21s, seem to be strict about most things.
2) student card should be fine but passport/drivers license would be better, no ID wont, same goes for all casinos in Dublin - Id be bringing ID for the IPO anyway just incase theres a problem.
3) Id say there will be 30-50 runners, should wrap up around 3am I think.

Should be late reg for an hour or so, Id advise ringing ahead around 9pm.

koolkid - correct, no alcohol while playing.

:eek: That may change my mind

Its fairly standard in poker rooms around the country

KoolKid

Never a problem in Vegas

bohsman

True, unfortunately most Irish people cant handle their drink and games get messy. A weekly trip to Vegas for a regular game could end up getting a bit expensive.

I wouldn't play live in Ireland very often if players could drink at the table (or at least, if it wasn't properly controlled) - couldn't face more than 2 hours on the cash tables in Killarney (even though they were quite profitable) as the drunken atmosphere was so off-putting and I don't need money enough to bother with it.

I agree. Thats why I want to get away from the pub donatons.
But I do like a couple of drinks when playing.
You could go off for a drink I suppose..

Planning to hit Silks tomorrow night for the €50 DC - might be a few more from PPP in attendance as well.

bohsman

Very fancy pub called the Odeon around the corner.

Is this still the weekly poker schedule at Silks Casino.

If it is then perhaps the overall thread

Sticky: Tournament Schedules - Read before asking what is on

could be updated to include the Silks Weekly Poker Schedule.
