Glasgow Poker Market

[thetank]

When they stick in some PC's for online poker I'll never be away from Cincci's. I'm sure this will bring others in on nights other than thirsdays aswell. DC says this is the plan.

Sid says he might put a bed in the back for me.

Thats a point, I forgot my laptop last week

[Ironside]

poker is on the up in glasgow but untill the management of the card rooms get there acts together poker will never attract big fields for big comps

no forward planning, very few super sats, no advertising, poor game choices and date clashes left right and centre

i would like to support scottish poker but it makes very little sense for me to do so

[Teacake]

Tank is right you've got to adapt.

I'm not against rebuys, my first cash was in a tenner rebuy where I lifted 250 bangers with no rebuy or top up. Its just not my cup of tea but I can see why there are plenty that play them, firstly cos of the value & secondly it was the only option for beginners on a tight budget.

What annoyed me the other night was the amount of "mouths" trying to get it changed to unlimited rebuys even though it was billed as such. There are plenty of rebuy tourneys in Glasgow already which is why Cin Cins is doing something different.

Iron my other point was that cash games take place at Cin Cin but not at the Boat or Stanley so there is a choice. There are also usually STTs.

Mikky I agree with most of what you say but it would have been nice if you could have posted some congrats on this board to those who cashed as you have had a lot of good wishes recently on here

BTW Tank Cissys or whatever your calling it wont catch on  I've told you already its Cin Cin

Don't know who this information is best aimed at, but thought it worth sharing :

On monday night, with 55 players at CinCins in glasgow for the £20 tourney, the Riverboat had 66 players.

Clearly there is a market for something decent in the Glasgow poker world if two clubs less than a mile apart can attract over 100 players on a miserable monday night.

hi mate, nice to meet you last monday BTW.

i think DC realises this and thats why he is getting involved in Cin Cin club, as for the river boat, well that type of poker aint poker to me, it bingo for people who cant play poker, with deep pockets.

Say that to the guy who is over £600 quid richer for his entry fee of £5, no re-buys and no top-ups (he was on Rhowenas table and went out when his poket kings where cracked by pocket and then he went to the boat). The fact remains that, whilst having a large amount of tournament chips to start with encourages good solid poker, people will still play in a maniac fashion, and it works for them. Are you telling me that hyper aggressive players like Gus Hansen and Doyle Brunson have not been successful in their tournament careers?

Who is to say that your version of conservative, selectively aggressive style of poker is the correct defacto style? Likewise, just because you might be playing conservatively because you feel the conditions of the tournament and table are right for that style, doesn't mean that someone else is wrong to be playing differently.

£5 gets you 1000 chips. Thats 10 big blinds. The players that are 'all-in' merchants are playing to a strategy. That is to amass chips on their table. They will not move from that table until the re-buy period finishes. They want as many buy-ins at that table as possible (hopefully not their own) so as to regain those chips later on either before or after the re-buy period finishes through being the better player. And they will do this with a fair amount of ease, given the usual standard of fish that surround them.

They do this week in, week out with consistent money finishes. Even £40-£50 pounds is a tidy investment for a share of £2000-£3000.

You know my feelings on the subject, and you also know that I happen to agree in principle. But remarks like "for people who can't play poker" clearly show your ignorance on the subject (not meant offensively, just an observation...).

Go on Mikky, have a go at me lol

I don't need to. You did it yourself!

it did take you three hours to bite, but my goodness was it worth it!

He he he

Mikky "up like a salmon" T 

you will learn over time mate, dont worry

Hmm... make a post then! I can't congratulate whoever won if you haven't posted about it Or did you make a post on the end of one of the other posts? Congrats anyway man - although in person surely is enough

4 out of the seven money finishes were Blondites, thats amazing in my book, especially after 5 of the final 8 of the MCM final last week were blondites!

Nice one Well done guys. I was upstairs in the cash game throwing all my money away.

Like ironside, I don't like cash games.

IMO you can either be a great cash game player, or a great tournament player. I'm definately not a great cash game player!

Not quite Dave, the big table was still 6 card Omaha £300 buy in.

But when there's enough of us smaller stake folk in we get a £20 buy in NL HE cash game.

[thetank]

that you can lose a grand in

[Rod Paradise]

that you can lose a grand in

True - that's the problem when the guys organising the games are big stake players - the concept of a maximum buy in to a cash game seems to escape them  You end up with a £20 cash game, blinds £1 & £1, with over 3 grand on the table.....

We're slowly getting there though.
