Could someone please post a list of which tourneys are on, which night??

I cant access any sites to do with gambling in work at present, due to my firewall.

Im asking as ill be there tonight and might jump into the tourney

cheers boys  :-\

I would but I don't know - they were doing £20 rebuys apart from 1 night a month where it was £50. But I seem to remember them changing it?

Phone them and double-check..

Dave, I think its 20quid rebuy at CinCin, you would be better off there rather than the boat as you'll get STTs later on

the second friday of the month is a £50 rebuy in the riverboat

but if you phone them thee tell you its a £20 the doos staff dont know much about the card room
other that whats on a small piece of paper at the desk that gives them the normal nights buy in 

i would mate but its my work who have had a Golf day out today are they have all booked a meal and night out in the riverboat after the golf, so im destined to go there mate, if its £20 ill try 1/2 buy-ins buy-in, if its £50 i doubt it!

Looks like its Blackjack and the Bar for me!

Haw RFC you never bought me that pint ya bassa  :-\

I did offer you tho just the once  :)

Mon NL £5 rebuy, 9pm registration, 9:45 start. 66 max players
Tues PL £20 rebuy, allegedly 88 max players.
Weds NL £10 reby, allegedly 88 max players.
Thurs PL £5 rebuy, 9pm registration (busiest night of the week, ticket system in place for those queuing before 9pm. You get a ticket, you have a slot reserved for the 9pm opening. But don't leave else it will be cancelled. This is to get people to leave the queue for the half hour before registration opens in order to get them on the gaming tables)
Friday NL £20 (Every second Friday of month is £50 with an 8:45 9pm start time). Not usually a game on the other Fridays due to lack of players (Stanley iis a £10 game).
Sun PL £20

Should get info on the festival tonight - unless Michelles fooked off on holiday again  ???

MikkyT,

Thanks for the info, most useful. Myself and a couple of others are thinking of heading down this Thursday and I was just wondering if you could give further details on the structure etc. Are the rebuys limited in number or time? How many players on average play? Is the overall standard on a Thursday night high?

From your post it sounds like it gets pretty busy so we will head down early. From your post I take it that once we get a ticket we shouldn't leave the queue to go play the tables etc? Don't want to lose my spot.

Anyway, thanks, and any further info appreciated. Looking forward to it!!

And welcome to blonde DJKebab.

You a Scot?.........

Hi DJ welcome to Blonde.

Mikky hasnt been on for a while & hes the only one of the Glasgow boys who really plays at the Boat.
The rest of us play at Cincinnatis on Bridge Street.

Riverboat on a Thursday is a bit of a lottery really with unlimited rebuys for 1 hour 45 minutes, then freezeout afterwards & only pays top 3 from 66 runners.

Cincinnatis on a Thursday has a 15gbp with 1 rebuy or top up. The rebuy period is for 1 hour then its a freezeout.
It has the benefit of a 8.30 start & aims to finsh for about 1am. Quite a few blondes are usually in & its a friendly enviroment especially for newbies.

yes i defo agree with my mate teacake here Kebebo!

The river boat is, on a thursday is one of the worse places to play mate, starting chips are 1000 and blinds are 50/100!!!

Its a total crapshoot mate, CinCins is being run by a certain Blondite at present on a Thursday and is becoming more and more popular as they are listening to what the players want.

You should head down there.

Thanks for the welcome, Tikay, Teacake, Dave, appreciate it. I am a Glasgow boy, Tikay, born and bred...

Thanks for the info and advice, really appreciate it.

Top 3 paid from 66??!! What's that all about? And starting big blind 10% of starting stack? Very strange...

Definitely up for CinCins, sounds like an excellent venue, and the tournament buyins and rebuy limits sound ideal for myself. I'm definitely going to push the suggestion on the group, but it's a posse of ex-work buddies I'm out with on Thursday, so not sure how receptive they'll be, we'll see. However, I've a group of regulars I play a weekly home game with who should be most interested so I am going to arrange with them to come along ASAP to check the place out. A few of us have played at Wabash in the past and at a few live tournies, so hopefully we should not be too much out of or depth...

Anyway, musn't ramble, but I'll hopefully maybe bump into some of you at the club in the near future, if not this Thursday then shortly afterward.


Cheers!!

Went to CinCin's tonight and it was a very disappointing turnout.  There was three of us and only 6 others, certaintly not enough to run a decent tournament.  I had high hopes after reading about it on here as well, it sounded like a great structure.

It was a disappointing turnout - we're getting to the point that we'll lose the night if no-one plays (even though everyone says they want that kind of structure  :-\) - still the Satelittes were cracking for the second week running....

Cincin's should have their website up next week & that will hopefully confirm when games are on & get people through the door.

As Rod said it was a disappointing turnout but the satellites were a good laugh.
WellChief you should have stayed about we had a few good games.
I hope to see you on Monday Rod if I make it down.

*cough*7 2*cough*  ;D

Made a full house with it too  :'(

I should have took the pot the other time - stupid check  >:?

Sorry to hear about the poor turnout Thursday guys, I would have liked to have been there but the majority of my party ruled and so we were Riverboat bound. Am trying to organise a few of my regular home game players to come along this week, probably Thursday, if things are all still running?

As for the Riverboat, Teacake and DaveKK, boy were you right!! What an absolute joke... There was not one hand in the first 1 hour 45 minutes on my table that did not result in an all in, due to the ridiculous nature of the starting big blind being 10% of the starting stack. On 6 occasions I saw a full house beating a lower full house, people were just playing junk!! Some must have rebought over 10 times. I tightened up, only played premium hands, but even so, they were cracked with rags several times, most frustrating!! Plus the fact that as it was pot limit, with so many all ins, each hand took an age to play with all the multiple side pot calculations etc... Anyway, rant over...

Made it through the rebuy period low on chips, the play calmed down (slightly), but couldn't catch any cards and must have gone out about 30th out of 60 or something like that... Needless to say I will not be back...

Anyway, hopefully make it to CinCin's on Thursday, Rod could you confirm that the usual format is likely to go ahead? Cheers!

Your bang on the money DJ.

This is exactly what myself, Rod, Dave etc have been saying for months but sadly mostof the small stakes players are still blindly going to the Boat like your mates for these chip chucking contests. Theres not even any value in it as your premium hands end up all in against 4 others almost everytime as the tables are 11 handed. There is also no enjoyment just utter disbelief & frustration.

I would defy anyone to play there on a Thursday night & not go on tilt. >:?

I was hoping to go to CinCin on Thursday but unfortunately wont beable to make it.

Usual format on Thursday.

I'm in danger of losing the night if we don't start getting some competitions going again. I'm a bit disappointed after the 54 runners in the first game  :( - but I'm hoping that the Cincinnati Club website (due today) will help.

As soon as it's live I'll post a link, I've suggested a 'booking in' section so people can see how many have pre-booked to guage how busy a night will be.

Rod, I'll try my best to get down there with a few others to bulk up the numbers. Your idea for the website is excellent, it would be great to have an idea of the interest in advance. Once you post the link, I'll certainly forward it on to all the poker heads I'm in touch with, and I'm sure others on here will do the same. Before long that should generate some interest I am sure. I honestly think there must be loads of players in the Glasgow area looking for a good place to play a live game, it's just a case of getting the information out to the widest possible audience. Sounds like you are making progress and going along the right lines.

Keep up the good work!! Cheers.

Rod, any news on the website? Good to see the club with some pictures on AWorldOfPoker, looks  great. Hopefully be there tomorrow. Will you be starting a fresh thread solely for the club to post updates etc.? Cheers.

I'm waiting on an email from Greg (the site designer) - he's looking for feedback from me & the club bosses, then I'll post the link.


Where did you see the club? - Is AWorldOfPoker a tv prog?

Cool. Sorry, I should have included the link, it's a site, I actually just found it doing a google search for Cincinnati Club Glasgow. The link is below, check it out, I guess somebody connected to the club must have submitted the details and photos.

Cheers.

Looks like a nice place, do you think i would get a warm welcome if i turned up for a game ?? :)   I wouldnt be wearing my "outfit" by the way ;)

Hello folks,

I'll be there tomorrow night and will see if I can get some others from GPS to attend.

Thanks,

Eoan

You'd get a friendly welcome Kiv, I mean RFC's posted on here that he was made very welcome by a group of Celtic fans - you can't get any more accepting than that  ;)

You never know Kev, you might get an even warmer welcome with the "outfit", suppose it depends who greets you at the door...

I'm hopefully going down for the first time Thursday, so if I come out with broken kneecaps or anything I'll let you know... Seriously though, all they guys I've been speaking to here on the forum seem very friendly so I have no doubt the atmosphere will be very welcomng to new players.

Article was useful, although not sure how a £20 tourney of 36 players payed out £2800??? Unlimited rebuys?

Unlimited Rebuys & £500 added to the pot AFAICR.

Kev you are more than welcome up here for a game mate

like rod said.. if they welcomed me in then you have a much better chance of fitting in than i did  :D


Rod going to try to make it tomorrow but ive so much work on im ready to explode  :'( :'( :'(

hope to see you'se all there tomorrow

Lottery numbers and the crypto 10k failed me tonight :)  but I promise to get there one day.
