    Just wondering if there is poker in Longford. I'm fairly green to Poker but wouldn't mind playing a bit more. Don't want anything too pro + serious.

    OK. This sounds good.

    Is payment of the scalp optional? Scalp allows you to rebuy if you are knocked out? How is the prize pool divided normally.

    Thanks for the response.

    Scalps are not optional, its a fiver a head and every time you knock a player out you take their scalp chip (every scalp is worth €5) the rebuy and top up are both optional.
    Prize-pool is 1 in 6 get paid so going by last nights example:
    29 players, 21 rebuys, 28 add-ons. Top 5 paid
    Total prize pool €1,420 (plus €50 towards the €10,000 league final)
    1st: €600
    2nd: €350
    3rd: €150
    4th: €100
    5th: €75
    Total scalps €145
    Game starts around 8.45pm and normally finishes around 2am
    Hope to see you there some Thursday
    Mick
    P.S. Free snacks and drinks (tea, coffee, soft drinks) provided all night
