whats the buy in do you know and how many expected, mite tale a spin up

murfie · 15-09-2005 3:54pm

I found this on their site but no starting time!

Buy-In: €50
Reg: €15
Number of Rebuys:1 only €50+€10
Starting Chips: 4,000

€50+€15, and then €50+€10 one re-buy or top up.

I think this tourney will be Poker Events biggest tourney when it takes off, I know 6 fellahs going tonight, and there's a fair few Donegal fellahs travelling as well.

murfie · 15-09-2005 3:56pm

hold on! whats the €50 + €10 on the rebuy about??! they charge €10 for a rebuy!?

Anyone explain this to me, surely this is not right?

Culchie · 15-09-2005 4:00pm

It is right.

You'll need Fintan to explain.

Sure you won't need a re-buy, haven't you plenty chips in the van?

murfie · 15-09-2005 4:23pm

your right, if only it were that easy! :rolleyes:

It's 7.30 for 8.00 Murfie.

The high cost of the reg fees is down to the set up. Dealers at every table... proper tables etc etc. I'd rather pay more for a better run event [Like the one at the TF last week - thank goodness I was late

] I'll be heading up with Mrs Dim... about 60 odd players last time. Hopefully more this week.

he was a guy from ballina i believe, i know him to see from tournaments ive played in. not a bad guy, except with drink on him! There was punches thrown inside the tournament but i think it was afterwards that they got your man and put him in hospital!

Jesus. Why?

Culchie · 15-09-2005 6:13pm

String Bet.

Fatboydim · 16-09-2005 11:32am

I didn't know about this until last night... Broken ribs I might add. The guy is a friend of mine... and yes he can get a bit lippy... But this was deeply unpleasant.

Culchie · 16-09-2005 11:37am

He was sitting beside a buddy of mine last night and told him the story ... not pleasant is right.

He was jumped on by two or three outside in Ballina.

I heard the bounty was claimed !

Fatboydim · 16-09-2005 11:50am

I went out like a tame little pussycat.

murfie · 16-09-2005 12:03pm

Broken ribs! jeez its a dangerous game we have decided to play :rolleyes:

How did you do last night fatboy in sligo? you did say you were going i think?

busbybhoy · 16-09-2005 4:05pm

String bet?? He had his ribs broken over that.....Come on there has to be more to it than that.
