big_iain

how are the roads up there?

Mr. Wolf

Not bad at the moment Iain, i'll keep you posted if it gets any worse buddy

big_iain

I will be up for a win

Mr. Wolf

Another good turnout in The Four Seasons in Monaghan tonight with 32 players (despite the heavy snow which kept quite a few players away) this is now a weekly event on the Hibernian Poker circuit with player numbers expected to rise further over the coming weeks. A total of €1,420 in prize money plus €160 in scalp chips saw the winner take home €745 (not bad considering he didn't rebuy or top up so spent €25 for the night).
The Slieve Rossa in Cavan town tomorrow night should get 25 to 35 players as usual...

It's great to see a regular game in Monaghan now Mick. But unfortunately you're going to have to change your website to www.cavan-monaghanpoker.com.

There seems to be plenty of interest in the Monaghan game now. Hopefully it snowballs to 40+. And hopefully I never see as bad a cards as I did last night ever........ever.......again.:mad: My bad........should be keeping that comment for the "moans, bad beat column".

Who won it out?

Iri$hKeLt

just after seeing this thread, I'd be very interested in going to the next one in the 4 seasons.. Hopfully make it regularly, Trying to get into the live part. Just play online at the moment.

You should defo come along. Mick only moved the game to the four seasons two weeks ago but he's going to keep it a regular cause of the turn outs. Maybe with bigger turnout we could crack Arva as the 3rd biggest pub game in the country. Maybe get a Friday night spot......:)

Mr. Wolf

Orin H won it out (€700+€45 in scalps) with mark Reilly second (€300 + €30 in scalps) and Alan 3rd (€150 + €20 in scalp) 4th got €100 and 5th €70, the rest of the final table all won entries into next weeks game as did the best hand.
Thanx for the interest Irsihkelt, make sure and introduce yourself to me next Tuesday, always nice to meet boardsies.
As for a Friday night spot, as soon as my brucepoker league finishes in Arva (Early April) I plan to start alternating my Friday games between there and Monaghan fortnightly.
As for changing the website name: NEVER!!! Its bad enough that a Monaghan man won the Cavan Open in 2007 and came 2nd in 2008. The Breffni Blues will never bow down to your oppression CHAOS. You may beat us on the card tables but you'll never break our spirit!!!

I like the payout structure, Should be there on Tuesday night. Thanks

Does many boardies go to this one?

Mr. Wolf

Not many boardsies as yet, we have Chaos from Haden and Big Iain as regulars, but its only just really getting going now, more to follow i've no doubt (its lashed snow the last two weeks i was there)
I'd expect 40 plus next Tuesday, the payout structure for this game last Friday (in Arva) with 55 runners was :
1st: €1,000
2nd: €480
3rd: €320
4th: €220
5th: €180
6th: €140
7th: €120
8th: €100
9th: €80
as well as this I had €265 in scalp money, most of which went to the last 9 players (although the guy who finished 11th got €65 in scalps!!!)
If I have a similar turnout numbers wise in The Four Seasons, we can expect the same pay out.
See you Tuesday

Mr. Wolf

26 players last night in the Slieve Rossa in Cavan town saw a €1,300 prize-pool (everybody rebought AND topped up) with an additional €130 in scalp chips generated.
The payout was
1st Sean Mc €660
2nd Alan Bish €300
3rd Chip €150
4th Saint Pat €100
5th Ollie O'g €70
Best hand €20 was Lorcan Fox
Expecting a similar turnout tonight in Kangleys of Bailieboro
9pm start time

You can stick my name down for Tuesday night 'Brendan N'

What time this usually be over about? Thanks

Mr. Wolf

Good stuff Brendan, it usually finishes between 1.30 and 2am

Iri$hKeLt

Just one more question, Is anyone driving through ballybay??

Your coming from cavan do you go through ballybay to get to Monaghan??

I dont drive save my parents a spin

Mr. Wolf

Hmmm, I actually drive through Clones to get to Monaghan, i'm sure there are players from Ballybay I just don't know them yet. If you get to Monaghan on Tuesday I won't leave you standed, i'll drive you home if there no one else going that way...

Iri$hKeLt

No problem, I should be ok for a lift home, thanks for the offer if im stuck.

See ya's Tuesday lads.
