I've played this game a few times now and it's a good game. Good starting stack and the 18 min levels (as opposed to 15 mins) makes a difference. I've never felt the tourney got crapshooty and the standard of dealers is good. Worth a spin if you live close to Wicklow/Ashford.

I live in Asford but just presumed this doesnt get many runners and havent gone down. I might go this week. Iain would you get between 15-20 runners?

I was very disappointed last week when we only got 18 runners hence why I am advertising on boards etc. I have put some more effort into advertising the event this week so hoping to see about 30-40runners.
