Nowhere besides the internet.
Stud which used be very popular is dying a death its to complicated and skillfull and even in hotspots like Austria and germany which used to host eruopena stud championships its dying.
What percent of the wsop entrys are irish and what percentage of the fields do they make up.
This year has been excellent from an irish pov multiple final tables and two crossbars.
The main event will have plenty of irish players we are a small country with a limited number who can afford be staked into wsop tourneys.

what percentage of irish players who play other variants learned these from other people like parents/ grand parents / friends. As you said stud used be a popular game too i think hold em will follow suit and there wont be many playing.... long term thinking and why not learn other games? for the craic not everybody is on the grind

Counting Alan Smurfit in 2007, Ireland's last 2 bracelets are in PLO. Since the early waves of Irish hitting Vegas, like Padraig P, and The Don also play this game to a good tournament level, I'd say Ireland punches above it's weight on this front. This has been an exceptional tournament series for the Irish, hopefully with more to come. I suspect for major mixed games sucess you would need to play cash online at a high level and then transfer these learnings to a tournament context.

As for us holdem lads, most of us way too busy trying to grind ourselves out of make up for the rest of the year to try get competitive at the other games. They do look like a lot of fun though and plenty of people say its the way to go. Can still easily see myself for one not doing a tap of studying for them in time for next year.

......
So far (July 2nd 2015)
Ireland are 11/93 for earnings ($1.25m) total: $137.2m
Ireland are 12/93 for cashes (38) total: 9963
Top put that in perspective the US has $93.6m in earnings and 7420 cashes. Now we cant for sure find accurate numbers of participants per country but I cannot imagine that there is that many Irish over there - Could we say 100/150?
That really is a very good showing Apart form the 'heavy hitters' (US, Canada, UK, Germany etc) we seem to be the 'best of the rest'.

i think when you head to the cage to claim your dough - you need to confirm your country of residence ( for tax reasons etc I suspect). That's my experience with cashing in tournaments anyway.

Originally posted by PokerPiper View PostI agree and would love to learn/play some of the other variants. Nobody is spreading these games and the festivals are all about rake & volume so its mainly NLH with a little PLO in the mix. The big challenge will be finding dealers also. I really think the only place to learn these games is online and there's no 'Craic' in that. Don't expect any Irish Mixed game or Stud bracelets at the WSOP any time soon :-)

Peter Murphy Eliminated in 9th Place ($24,511)
The action folds around to Vitezslav Pesta who calls from the button. Paul Warren does the same from the small blind before Peter Murphy checks his option from the big blind.
The flop comes down K A 3 and both blinds check. Pesta then bets out 50,000 which Warren calls instantly. Murphy then moves all in for 575,000 in chips. Pesta asks for a count before completing the call. Warren mucks and the cards are then tabled.
Pesta: A 5
Murphy: K 3
Murphy has out flopped Pesta hitting bottom two pair to take the lead. However, the board runs out the Q then J to see Pesta river a flush to take down the pot resulting in Murphy being eliminated in 9th place.
Vitezslav Pesta - 2,900,000
Peter Murphy - Eliminated

Obviously there might be a few I'm missing but couldn't be more than 30. Good few who would normally be out not here this year for whatever reasons.
To have 7 have make ft's in non hold em events with massive fields is a serious achievement. Hopefully we ain't done yet!

Originally posted by PokerPiper View PostDay 1b seems to have gone well for both John O'Shea and Decco Connolly, both bagging just over 100k. Reesy 57k, Patrick Clarke 52k, Michael Dwyer 22k.
Would be nice to see some deep runs to keep the Irish momentum going this summer. Some great performances so far.

At the end of the day though, it's a tournament and anyone can win or lose. Weakest player on my table ended with most chips as deck smashed him in the face, and Kevin Williams was telling me the guy at his table who ended with all the chips was unclear on the hand rankings.My poker blog - Doking around in cyberspace
