    The powers that be aren't keen on gambling in college.

    Gamesoc runs poker nights,but they are subject to strict college regulations.The buy in is €5,maximum pot is €100 and the prize is given in the form of vouchers of your choice rather than cash.The idea is to stop students trying to gamble to get their rent paid,etc.

    PM me if you've any more questions,I'm on the Gamesoc committee.

    Societies are supposed to be about fun, not about trying to make serious money off other students. Dublin already has casinos for that. I've tried suggesting that a game on campus might be a chance for people to learn before hitting the casinos, but no-one was interested in the game for its own sake, only in making money, so I lost interest.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.
