DRA (Gary and I) are looking to host a big poker tournament Friday night at Spring Ride. We would like to get a general consensus of how many people would play, buy in levels, etc... My thoughts would be to have proper tables, dealers, timed blind raises,etc.. I am thinking a $10-30 buy-in room and maye a $100 buy-in room. It would be a fully legit tournament with rules, dealers, drinks and such. I have hosted many of these before and I think the only way to do it is do it right and all out. <BR> <BR> If you guys can chime in here that would be great. if there is enough intrest, I will start a list of players and figure the whole thing out. <BR> <BR>Shuffle up and deal.......

Although I suck, I would prob go $20.00 buy. Providing I am still sober enough to see the cards.<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/proud.gif" border=0>$100.00 is a little more than I would want to throw away though.

That is why he is thinking about doing two rooms with the different pay outs. What about re-buys are you going to have a time limit for them or not have them at all?

How would it work?

Jason, you can count on Jason (lol), my Jason that is. He plays a couple of times per month and also belongs to <a href="http://www.trainpoker.com/" target="_blank">http://www.trainpoker.com/</a>. So count him in for sure. <BR> <BR>We have a poker table, chips, etc... if you need extra. Also, Fisher is a player but she's not coming up until Sat. night. Maybe this post will entice her to come early:-)

poker??? <BR>wat is that?? is it like go fish cause im good at that... <BR> <BR>no... im in for some poker.. ya i guess im not such a baller and cant drop 100 at a table ... but hey i might take your money and go play at that table... hahahah <BR> <BR>(Message edited by D.R._inc on January 19, 2007)

I would be down to do a $20 buy-in but that would be as much as I could do. Sounds like fun!

I'm in! Let me know if you need tables and chips.....

I'll play in the $100 tourney.

Nice. I am not a big fan of the re-buy as it takes forever to finish. My goal is to have a fun and competive tourney, but than get my swerve on. So to be there all night with re-buys is not my intial plan. This is a good intial response. I'll give it another day or so and than throw down the specifics and decide on amounts and such. Let's keep it rolling!

Hey Buffalow, <BR>When and where is spring ride (sorry for not knowing) <BR>No limit hold-em? $100 <BR>I might just have to jump off the rock and come out <BR>Details please

Jason- I would have to agree with you on the reason not to have them because of how much extra time it would take. I would be down to play at the table for a Benjamin.

I'm definatly down with playing. Thing that sucks with $100 buy-in is everyone is so serious and the game takes forever because nobody wants to loose. saying that, I'm down for the $100 buy-in, or just $20, doesn't matter to me.

Id be down for any dollar buy in, let me know!

Ryan, Check out the Events page. Spring ride is a hell of a good time. You should fly out for it!! You will be glad you did!!

You know me brotha! I'd be down for the $100 prolly if it's a feeezeout. Not down with $100 and $100 multi-rebuys. Can get spendy. But, whatever...

how's this? <BR> <BR>$100 buy-in = no limit hold 'em &amp; no rebuys <BR> <BR>$20 buy-in = limit hold 'em &amp; 1 rebuy

Ryan, check out the events page and I am sure we can fully hook you up once, you fly in (hit me personally). If I can coax you on a board for the DU tourney you may even make some scratch on the deal. <BR> <BR>Alright, Give me a couple of days and I'll work out all of the details for the 1st annual DRA Poker Tourney

I am down for 20 and a rebuy if we get the game started early enough. I need time to take your money and go spend it at the bar ;0)

im in for a twuamp spot.

I hate to sound stupid but what is Spring Ride?

Joe, keep it NL for tourney play. I like the rebuy for the twenty dollar tourney though.

I'm in for $20.

Bed time<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/yawn.gif" border=0>

I'm in for 20-50. If we do not do rebuy we can do cash game on the side that always works.

Please- what is Spring Ride?

Roger-See Wakeboarding events topic (CIE Spring Ride)

Payton is in for $100 buy in, no limit, no rebuys.

I was debating about making the trip, but if Chuck Payton wants to give me a hundred bucks in the poker game I might have to come <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/biggrin.gif" border=0>

the spring ride isn't posted on the events page.

I'll buy into the Payton/ Scagliotti game.

Peter T. send me a PM with your address, I have a couple of vid's to send you, also need Tony's phone number. Hijack over.

I was hoping to get a little bit of Buffalow's money if not all of it. <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/biggrin.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>(Message edited by cheeseman on January 23, 2007)

Sounds like maybe we should have a NL cash game (say maybe 1/2?)

I would definately be in for poker.

Lucky for you Chuck. I have never played, but just host tourneys. Should be a fun time of your taking my money...<IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0>

So let me get this right... it's poker in the rear and liquor in the front, or was it the other way around? <BR> <BR>Cheers to the first annual DRA poker tournament at the third annual CIE spring ride (man that's a lot of acronyms).

"poker in the rear and liquor in the front, or was it the other way around? " <BR> <BR>whatever <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/biggrin.gif" border=0>

Poker? ... but I barely even know her<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/rofl.gif" border=0>
