I'm in Dublin for the semester and wondering if anybody has any insight into which poker rooms to check out.

I played a 10+10+10 (+3) Euro tournament at Voodoo last night and enjoyed it (placed 5/43, too), but I don't know if I want to play a 33 Euro tournament every week until 2 AM on a Monday night/Tuesday morning.

It's not hard to find info about the weekly tournaments in the city, but who has the best cash games in terms of rake, players, and variety? My budget for poker is pretty limited, so I'm bound to low stakes affairs. Does any club regularly spread stud? It seems like 1/1/(5) PLO runs fairly often at Voodoo, as does 1/1/(3) PLHE. Rake is 5% capped at 10 Euros. Anybody have info on cash games at other clubs?

I don't play cash so am not upto date on that end of it.As for card rooms in general there are a good few dotted around Dublin but the main one and best one IMO is the fitzwilliam card club ,the fitz always has a good crowed in for both cash and MTTs.

I have only been in the Voodoo twice,while its a nice venue the buy ins are a bit small for my liking.

You should also checkout Boards.ie,its the biggest message board in Ireland and is a great resource.The poker section is a great resource for local players.

Hopefully some others will chime in with up-to-date info for you, OP.

think the game on thursday in the jackpot is pretty good fun. havent played it in a few years but when i was in dublin it was getting 50+ players

sadly all the mtts i ever played seem to go on late enough. you need to start calling those 3bets with A6s etc if you need to be in bed earlier. other than that it aint no problem to have

bump..

I'm in Ireland for a couple weeks and looking for a cash holdem NL game. I would prefer to play 1/2, 1/3, or 2/5. I went to fitzgerald tonight and they had no tables running and it seems like Pot Limit is the only game played...

I asked someone about voodoo and they thought it would be unlikely that they would have a NL game running.

Is there not one NL cash game in Dublin?

here's more

Hello. My friend and I are thinking of heading down south for the first time to play some poker (legally) live. We have little to no experience of Dublin its self and lack any knowledge of which casinos to visit.

We are looking to travel down by bus/train and stay for as long as possible (24 hours) as we don't want to spend to much money on anything other than poker (if possible).

So I am posting in hope that some one could spread some knowledge on casinos to visit, areas to avoid and places to stay (last resort).

Also, This is probably an extremely silly question but are the ATMs the same down south.

If you currently live in Dublin and would kindly want to meet up, I am sure we could arrange something..

Thanks for reading!

Sorry if this was posted in the wrong section. If so could a mod please move it. Thank you.

You should go to The Fitzwilliam Casino & Card Club, very nice staff and you can take free drinks and sandwiches. The games are 1/2 holdem and 1/2 PLO. They also have a daily tournament (check they site) - they offer some kind of food if you play the daily tournament. The club is open 24/24 but they close the cash tables at something like 8 AM if there is still people playing. The games stars at something like 5 or 6 PM. If I was you I would go do Dublin Friday and stay one "night", playing Friday and Saturday going back Sunday after leaving the cardroom. You should definitively call the club to be sure everything I said is right because I m not from Ireland and the last time I was there was some months ago, but I have tried other cardrooms in Dublin and the Fitz is one step ahead of the others.

American here that will be living in Dublin for 2 months. Anyone have any info/advice/comments on where to play/the state of the games/cash/tournies/structures, etc? Is it worth playing anywhere? Thanks

Starting a thread to discuss all that's happening on the Irish Poker scene. I searched around and couldn't find an existing thread.

Anyone heading to the Burlington in Dublin this weekend? The Irish Winter Festival of Poker is taking place from Oct 26th - Oct 29th.

I won't be playing but I'll travel up on Sunday to meet a couple of the lads. If your heading up give me a shout @theroyalraiser.

I'm in Dublin later this month. Can anyone advise on a cheap hotel near the Fitz?

BUMP

Any updates on the cash game scene in dublin? Looking to play NLHE 1-2 up to 5-10

I was in dublin in early July, and the Fitz is the go-to place.

It had 1-2NL uncapped where most players had 100 euros, and a 2-4(2-5? forget sorry) PLO started just as I left.

It was just south east of city center, within a 15min walk from my hostel in city center.

Thank man!'

I'll be in Dublin first part of May and plan on stopping in The Fitzwilliam at least once. Maybe I am just tired, but can someone help me understand that rake structure, particularly the bolded?

So for 2/5 it'd be 13.33/hr + $1/pot for Cash League Final (What is the Cash League Final, is that a jackpot drawing?)

Edit:

Nevermind, Answered my own question. Pretty unique way of attracting reg's imo. I wish more places had this kind of promotion than a high-hand jackpot that is unfairly weighted in favor of the smallest limit games in the room.

I'm considering spending a day in Dublin en route to Las Vegas later in the year.
Are there any casinos where I could find poker in the afternoon? The Fitzwilliam website says games start at 6:30?

I'm in cork Wednesday for one night, will I be able to find any LLSNL?? If not I would settle for playing in a little tournament. Thanks.

Im considering heading to EPT Dublin in february for a week. If theres any locals or players with past experience at this event could you PM me on things like hotel costs, food costs etc?

earliest games you would find, would be 6:30
even then,most casinos wouldn't have cash rolling until about 9pm
best place for cash action during the day would be to find MTT events which are pretty regular around Dublin. These events tend to have action all day, especially on the first day of the MTT, when there are more players at the event.
Events are mostly held in large hotels around Dublin.
I'm not sure if we're allowed to post links to external poker forums, but I can certainly PM you an Irish poker forum where you could find any upcoming events.
