It's in the building beside Quik Fit

This is the google maps link, the entrance to the club is through the green doors & upstairs to the first floor.

Thanks, eventually worked out the Kwik fit bit and posted as much on riverbox. Had it in my head there used to be a pub there?, but now think it's next door to what was the pub and is now Botanic Inns offices?

Called in last night and had a look. Nice setup.

I'll be down on Thursday for the 40 Double Chance.

Is this the blind structure you use for all your tournaments?

Needs a lot of work imo.

I agree, something like ^ might get more customers in. There are a couple of clubs you would be trying to get customers off and i reckon you'll need to give them something to change venue for.

POINTBREAK

I think that Blind Structure is only for tonights double chance tournament. If you start with 6000 and have the top up or ad-on of 7000 it would mean that the average stack after the first break would be 13BB's which wouldnt be too bad, but if there was no top-up or add-on the average stack would only be 5 or 6 BB's and an extreme crapshoot........ lol

POINTBREAK

I assume that tonights DOUBLE CHANCE tournament means you dont have to pay for your second lot of chips? If you get knocked out before the break you automatically get another 7000 chips for free and if you dont need them you get a 7000 Top-Up at the break?

vivapoker

It is double chance tonight 5k starting stack with a 1k for early reg... rebuy or add-on is free and gets you 7k chips.

The blind structure is work in progress but we don't want our games to run until 4am during the week nights because most of our customers will be heading to work in the morning. So far the people that have been in have been happy with the structure but if the feedback changes then we'll review it.

If you want to play later then cash games etc will be available.

The Ace Club

Best of luck with the new club. Hope it works out.

Regards John Doc

Over 60 players last night. It was a very good game. The structure was good considering it's a Monday night.

And if anyone is ever in Belfast it's worth the buyin just to listen to Tommy making his anouncements. Quality stuff.

Well done to Niall and the lads, i'll be playing there regularly.

THE_GEEEZER

i will hopefully get down soon and bring a few guys from armagh with me
it will be good to c tommy/gerard again

the blind structure needs alot of work



i'd rather b lucky than good

vivapoker

We changed the structure a little last night to:

starting stacks 7k + 1k early bird
2nd chance 8k

+ a couple of levels were added to the clock

£50+£5 Freeze out tonight 15k stacks.

POINTBREAK

Anyone going tonight?

POINTBREAK

Nice bit of juice last night. Only 37 turned up for the £2000 Guaranteed. An expensive night for the club, but hopefully they will benefit from the publicity.

POINTBREAK

ffs closed by the PSNI yesterday.

micko10

When are they gonna change the law in n ireland to allow casinos its a fecking joke.

PSNI=SCUMBAGS

POINTBREAK

Its a complete joke. You can put your money in a Fruit Machine completely legally, bet on the horses , buy lottery tickets and play poker online all you like, but you cant have a simple game of poker in Belfast.
