Want to hear a sick one?

30 January 2012 | Category: by: Nicky Power


This was the question I was asked returning from a smoke in Clane from a random person I didn't know.

Irish Poker Championship 2012

13 January 2012 | Category: by: Nicky Power


I think we've seen this event change in one way or another every year since it's inception in 2006.

WPT Dublin

09 January 2012 | Category: by: Nicky Power


The general vibe leading up to the inaugural WPT Ireland was that the tournament would not be a success. My gut told me differently...

Back to work

04 January 2012 | Category: by: Nicky Power


I hope everyone had a good Christmas and got over the New Year without too bad a hangover.

State of the nation

30 December 2011 | Category: by: Nicky Power


I usually do a long annual review but like John, I just can't be arsed, as it wouldn't be interesting for me to write or for anyone to read.

Ah Cork

12 December 2011 | Category: by: Nicky Power


If I'm ever feeling poker isn't going great, the answer is always to go and play in Cork.

It's an addiction

29 November 2011 | Category: by: Nicky Power


I suffer from a golf watching addiction, if there's golf on the TV from anywhere in the world I cant not watch it.

IPO Final Table

23 November 2011 | Category: by: Nicky Power


As I said in my post IPO blog, I thought this year was the best so far and it isn't over yet for eight lucky souls.

WSOP's

09 November 2011 | Category: by: Nicky Power


It seems there's been a poker festival in one form or another every weekend for the past four months in Ireland and quiet frankly something had to give. Unfortunately it gave at one of the best value, best structured and most professionally run tournament of the year, JP's mini WSOP.

IWF

01 November 2011 | Category: by: Nicky Power


The weekends Irish Winter Festival was a bit of a non event for me, disappointing as it's one of the best chances of a touch each year.

Oh what fun we had....

26 October 2011 | Category: by: Nicky Power


I think it's fair to say that last weekends IPO was a resounding success; it certainly ticked all the boxes for my own criteria for a magic poker festival.

Woohoo It's the IPO

18 October 2011 | Category: by: Nicky Power


Well it's time for another Boylepoker IPO festival, or 'the peoples tournament' as I call it. This is probably my favourite poker weekend of the whole year.

And the Winner Is

13 October 2011 | Category: by: Nicky Power


Ciaran has chosen Cal McCarthy ( Cal32 ) as my player for the mentor match up.
Cal is a loyal Boylepoker customer and was one of the be our sponsored pro finalists, he also qualified through Boyles for Killarney festival last year.

IPO Mentor Match-UP

07 October 2011 | Category: by: Nicky Power


Well Dagunman kicked my arse and hurt my pocket in the 5-aside but I'm out for revenge at the IPO. Both John and I have agreed to take on one loyal Bolylepoker player and mentor then through the tournament.

Killarney

03 October 2011 | Category: by: Nicky Power


I got to play Killeen Thursday for the Kerry mans price of €30, thanks to Keith Cummins for organising it. The extra €30 I lost to him was still well worth it. Derek Murray had booked one of the apartments for us at the Gleneagles complex and this was definitely the way to go, they're a great option and 10 times better then a hotel room.

Maynooth & France

27 September 2011 | Category: by: Nicky Power


The last two weekends were spent playing poker in Maynooth and France, well the Ballsbridge Inn that turned into France for the weekend.

I'm an optimist

14 September 2011 | Category: by: Nicky Power


Maybe it's the fact that there's so much on these days but the thought of staying in the Ballsbridge Inn for last weekend's UKIPT just didn't appeal to me.

I'm no Jesse May!

31 August 2011 | Category: by: Nicky Power


The City West is in my top two favourite venues for a poker festival in Ireland, so I was happy to see a major event back at the venue after a two-year absence.

Irish Classic

23 August 2011 | Category: by: Nicky Power


The Classic festival in the Macau runs all week and is Ireland's largest casino based poker festival.

Circles

11 August 2011 | Category: by: Nicky Power


No, I'm not plugging Google +, rather circles casino Clonmel where I played a €275 summer game last Sunday.

EMOP Dublin

02 August 2011 | Category: by: Nicky Power


Clontarf Castle Hotel was the venue for the inaugural visit to these shores of the European Masters of Poker Tour. It proved to be a fantastic venue, with a top room for a poker tournament.

Waterford Masters 2011

27 July 2011 | Category: by: Nicky Power


It's not everyday you get to sit at a poker table with a former winner and runner-up of the Irish Open, but that's what the table draw threw up for me on day one of the Waterford Masters.

Open time

13 July 2011 | Category: by: Nicky Power


On the poker front I played twice at the weekend; the monthly game in the poker lounge, Waterford, where I came third and the summer game in the Cue Club Killarney, where I lasted about a third of the time it took me to get there. Still, Killarney's always great craic to go out in this time of year so it wasn't a wasted trip.

Bad night and out

17 June 2011 | Category: by: Nicky Power


Well, it's no final in the Five-A-Side for team Power. The semi-final games went pretty shitty for the team last night. Some of the lads never got going but there's not much you can do.

End of group stages

11 June 2011 | Category: by: Nicky Power


That's the group stages finished in the Five-A-Side. We put in our best team performance of the eight sets of games on Thursday night, with four final tables and a very respectable 14th.
