ad massive poker tourny

anyone down? suggestions on where it can be held etc etc.

Down like the syndrome!

i can be a bartender! cant play poker for shit haha.

maybe we could hire a local hall?

what we will be doing is considered illegal gambling i reckon.

fukn keen, even though ill probably lose...

whos bringing the cubans?

No way when it comes to people smuggling i'm all about s.e asians

      

Fuck YES.... 

keen.

even if you have it at home? wats the difference? cant u use chips instead of money, to keep it legal? how is having it in a hall any different to all the pubs n bars holding tournaments now?

doesnt matter anyways, i bet mister PC will take the winnings he's a pro!

chips equal the money on offer anna.

well the format i was thinking is pretty much what my mates and i do every sunday. $20 buy in and that gets you 80 chips. you can make chips 25c 50c and $1 if you like, either way. second gets double money back and winner gets the rest. we do buy backs for $10 but you only get half a stack, although we are considering dropping this rule.

anyone out there have any ideas as to format, i know it depends on how many people rock up and how many tables etc etc.


yeah money goes into the pot.

yeah thats what i said. so why is having a hall illegal, if its just amongst friends?

Screw the buy back rule. No second chances with Texas Hold Em!!!!

I also prefer runner up just getting their money back. Nobody deserves making a profit for coming second.

yeah we do change up the coming second money a bit, if the pot is large then we give double. on sunday we only had 5 dudes playing (we usually have 8 but have had up to 10) there was $100 in the pot but 3 guys bought back making the pot $130. i took $100 for the win and scummy second got $30.

i am with you though mate no second chances.

Is there anything most of us cunts do that isn't illegal?
I'm down for this shit. Have a 100% winning record so far... haven't played a huge amount of games, but I'm confident I can keep this streak going.

this thread title makes me laugh. bogan much? 

carry on.


i'd be keen maybe.

I am certainly interested. Someone may have to teach me how to play though. 

Not interested.... call me when there's a polka tourny   

 

maybe i should add free vb to the title 

i'm not playing if you do.

not because you're really smart and good at most things you do. more because you're a cunt and i don't like you very much.

I hope I'm seated right next to you cunt; Because the only thing more pleasurable than not being around you is annoying you with my very presence.

im crap at poker but would like to be there to suck piss and watch you cunts blow ya money

yeah yeah, just don't give me your aids mate and we'll be ok.

i luuurve playing poker.... when/where is the consensus Timboh?

not sure mate, i was just putting it out there to see if anyone would be keen. might have to try sort something out soon. i can do one at my place in para hills in a couple of weeks but could only accommodate around 8-10 players.

let me know if there is a future consolidation of a tourny to a city location and im there! 

my poker name is 'crazy-cat-lady-snappytom' and will be accompanied by my black cat (for luck), who will adorn his pimped out sunglasses (matching mine of course).

Just an idea....
Apparently during winter you can 'hire' the upstairs function room of the Worldsend for free. It has heaps of room, you can set-up decks, they'd have the bar open upstairs... Only problem is that I think it has to be on a Friday or Saturday night. Good luck finding one of those that isn't already triple-booked!

could do a week night i suppose, would they let us play poker though? we can work something out with the cash so it isn't changing hands on the premises.

You could find someone that has a large amount of chips! I would love to host a poker night at my place, but as Timmy said, it'd probably only fit so many people in. Capacity motherfuckas!

i can get chips, robby has a 1000 piece set and i have a 500 piece set around the place. when i said no money changes hands on the premises i meant the buy in money.

I also have access to a Chips set..

Plus maybe a empty house... 

 

I could also accomodate a game at mine if it wasn't more than 10-12 players. Any more than 2 tables would prove a little difficult.

Whilst this official tournament thing slowly organises itself, is anyone up for maybe a game this Saturday? Could do with the spending money for Groove is in The Dark.

Don't forget I may be at yours this Sat....my plane gets in at 745pm. Although I am not against you having people over for poker

 
Only Saturday??

I have no problems taking peoples Money on Wednesday or Thursday night either... 

i might be keen for a saturday game, what time?

i played last nite, was doing well but called an all in and got seriously raped. a mate pulled a straight flush and when i was on my way home i got an sms saying he pulled a royal flush, spewing i wasn't there to see that!

dammit, would go Josh, but work every fri/sat night... have fun!! 

You were the only chick who has mentioned interest in poker here and you're unavailable on weekends......

That means we don't have anyone to serve drinks & nibbles.

 

i can be in my place, a women's place M-T nights. 

i have never ever played poker with a chick. i have however played pokeher.

be prepared to have your ass kicked! i have a face of an angel, so guys tend to think i dont have a decietful bone in my body hahaha.... fools! 

nah, just joshin 

 

Let me guess. You went all in right away and blew it all straight up, then had to sit out the rest of the game whilst she finished her hand?

not quite, i folded before the flop

okay i have a venue sorted, well it's a house. off of glynburn road in magill. will prob try sort it for a month or so away, will try not to clash with anything that is on. what nite would all you keen punters prefer? we can probably get up to 20 comfortably, maybe push a few more. if you want to sit down (recommended) you will need to bring a chair apparatus.

have since found out it was two straight flushes, seems my mate that messaged me was unaware of what a royal flush is

Keen, nice and close to my joint...  Any night except Wednesdays

oooh, pretty please make it monday, t, w, thurs or sunday night?! I work every fri/sat night  that way it won't clash with most parties too! 

i would say it would be sunday nite, we hold one there every week anyway, usually around 8-10 players. if i can get some of you guys to let me know if you are keen then all up we could have up to 20 i suppose. will be running 2 tables with a finals table. will speak to my mate today about some rules and shit such as raising the blinds etc and report back.

I reckon it would be good to have similar rules to NPL. Those work pretty well.

We usually just raise the blinds everytime somebody drops out. Then when it gets down to the last 3 or so people we raise them every 15 so it doesn't drag out too long.

Blind levels are way too quick in NPL; Half way through everybody bar a massive chip leader has to play Jam or Fold. I have no problem with quick raising of levels when there are only a few left, but when half the people are still left and it's jam or fold it is a tad harsh. It does serve to even out the field a little though, but that is just because there is less skill involved.

True. Seeing as there would be less people it wouldn't matter as much about getting people out quick. You have to laugh at some of the things people do in NPL though. I reckon I could be keen to lose some money though.

I do miss some of the humour of NPL play, but it's almost as funny on Full Tilt some nights, and at least those people hand over their money. Once a month or so these days I pop down to one of the NPL nights for a bit of brainless social poker; Straddle betting and the like to make it a bit more lively.

Friendly-competitive league rules, innit.

if it's anything but a friday or saturday, count me out.

too busy sunday to thursday nights.

we do that too but it is a bit hard when you run it tournament style with a few tables. spoke to my mate today and he is thinking we can have 3 tables with 8 players on each. buy in will be $20 for the first time it is on then we will throw in a $50 buy in for those that are keen at a later date.

edit - chris, there is no harm in raging up at a poker nite, you will not be alone!

too right, will be a partner in crime for a sesh Chris! 

can't wait, haven't played in a while, i play t.h with another chick who may be interested 

am not free til after the week ending 27/4 though

*strokes chin*

sounds good to me larny.

it's just a matter of if you can play good poker stoned 

i sure can! my ability to keep my poker face straight might become a challenge, then the paranoia will set it and will end up looking crazy. but this might work in my favour too! ppl underestimate a loonie's potential! 

well i seem to manage at life ok.

outside of work obviously.

What's happeing with this??? I'm still dam keen!! 

i'm not sure, my mate that was going to host has all of a sudden got cold feet. will chat at work today and report back.
