http://www.boylesports.com/sections/poker/d.asp?show=IPO2008_Information

130E in and 35,000E to winner last year...

Anyone going or up for making a venture?

yeah ill defo be up for that. we can ask at the club and see if we can get a few involved

i have just looked at the website, and i am definately up for an ireland trip. perhaps we could run some satellites for it.
nice work abe.

I have spoken to Boyles poker, and they have told me that each player has to register on the site to book a seat in Ireland.
If you are having trouble putting money onto Boyles poker room, go to www.moneybookers.com and register a debit card there.

Spoke to the wife IM IN! LOL (Providing shes had the baby by then!) Wheres the hotel?

look at the other posts on this link mate....theres a link to 'boylepoker'....go to it and it tells you everything

i spoke to boyles poker, and he told me to call the regency hotel and ask for a price quoting 'boyles poker'. he said there should be a discount.

How are we doing it then? All booking individual rooms and flights or doing it as one booking if someone collects cash and pays?

we'll sort it out over the weekend

this is the email sent by the Regency Hotel regarding room rates:

Good afternoon,

Our selling rate for the Poker is €145 for a standard room to fit two people €179 for an executive room.

These rate are for the poker tournament only

Kind regards,

i hope this is helps.

ive just registered for the IPO championship in dublin....its dead easy. i opened an account on boylespoker and deposited £150 into the cashier...then looked on the 'schedualled tournaments', and scrolled down the dates to the very bottom and found the ipo tourney. (17th-10-2008). and then just registered like you would on any other online tourney. i paid into day 1B and if you wanna do the same youll have to get a wriggle on, cos there are only 140 places left on that day. JOB DONE!

I'm keen to go lads as it's only 40 mins from my home and I've a load of mates near-by and I'm sure a few would be playing.
Day 1B looks to be my option too if I can get registered in time.
Cookie if I get registered lets try and book the same flights if you want?
Looks fun?

yes mate that would be the plan. at the moment there are 4 of us going....

Just brought my seat for day 1B!! Let me know of any plans for flights n stuff

Hi all

Could be interested in this trip to Dublin will mention it to few others and see if can get in in time. Any 1 know the structure as it says 1000 runners last year but only 2 day 1s then final day seems a bit strange? To get through 1000 runners in that time sounds quick stucture. Any have any ideas on it? Cheers

hey foz.

its a 10k stack, 40 min clock....same as the apat tourneys. they reckon theyre playing down to 200 on each day 1.

the full structure is on boylepoker.com....theres a link on the 1st or 2nd post on here if you wanna look.

only day 1a available now, but weve got at least 3 going that day, and at least 3 more on day 1b. be good to get a load of us out there.

The structure of this event was good last year and there was plenty of play, but a long and tiring day.

This attracted over a 1000 runners and they played down to 200 on the first day.

They also ran a team event concurently and I beleive they are going to do the same this year (6 man team x 50 yoyos each)

My team managed second place and picked up 600 euros each nicely paying for the weekend.

If you bust out early there is bound to be plenty of cash action ... beware , he he ... if you think the scandis are sick online , prepare yourself for an Irish cash game..

cya there ... gl

..

Spoke to them and there is no team event at this years IPO unfortunately...
