anytime we run events, we leave one or two tables open with cards and chips for people to do there own thing, so if enough people want to play a cash game/sit and go, by all means, work away.

Just to confirm now, anyone in the old bar that's regisistered to play on Monday can bring drinks across from the nubar.

lol - what are you like?
winning €20 off broke students will hardly be worth the effort of leaving the laptop...

This was great craic. How many people were there? 60 or 70? Gutted that I was the fourth person to get knocked off at my table. Ah well, there'll be more. Hopefully I'll be signing up to PokerSoc tomorrow!

registeration last night was 76 people.....

We have our free roll in the old bar on Wednesday the 14th, there will be a limited amount of spaces.... probably 90 - 100 so keep in mind preference will more than likely be given to people who join on clubs and socs day...... which is of course today and tomorrow.

I'm not that familiar with poker terms. What's free roll?

phantom_lord

a freeroll is a tournament that's free to enter, in this particular case the society is putting up the prizepool.

Enjoyed the tournament on Monday. Was my first real life one and was good craic, good atmosphere. I signed up yesterday so I'll see you at the Freeroll event!

thought the freeroll was really good. i think the weekly buy in tourneys will be better though cause the standard of player will be better because there will be a buy in.

if anyone lives local to santry, myself and few friends get a weekly cash game going in my place. its only 10c 20c blinds, there does be 5/6 of us. cash in for as much as you like, cash out any time, with any amount after first hour.

anyway, the invitation is there to anyone who fancies a mid week game, 10 seater cash game would be more fun.

get back to me on this.
