Poker Game at Gameface's house. 2-18 @ 8pm

I'm actually really excited for this. I already told Mrs. catratcho that night is off limits. Seriously though, if Archie and McFly want to come, we can teach them how to play.

Oh, and PM me the info Gameface.
 
Looks to me like this is going to happen! I've got at least 3 and I think 4-5 guys I work with who plan to come. One guy can round up a few more if needed to make a game. 3 guys here have said they'll come and I'm hoping a few more decide to do it.

I don't know if I should but I want to point something out about the 3 hour estimated duration. That sounds long to some folks, but if you're playing for 3 hours that means you most likely will win some money. It's perfectly possible (maybe even likely) that you will play for less than 3 hours.

That said, I will set up a second table even if we don't have enough players to use it for the tournament. If you bust out and want something to do you can start something up on the second table as soon as it's free. Oh yeah, I also have a little bingo cage I used for my kids b-day party, losers can play a couple games of bingo if they're so inclined.

Good times!

Would it cost more to ship little Viny over for this, or, to buy him a booster seat?

Frankie, I know we don't really know each other and you don't really know me, but some of the stuff you say is kind of out of line and kind of hurts my feelings. Just letting you. I mean, when you hear it all your life, you kind of get sensitive about it.

I'm really thinking about coming. I'm just afraid one of you crazy Wheat Thin eating sons of bitches will either a) shank me b) shank me without a knife in a way that's arguably more painful than getting shanked the normal way c) shoot me or d) make fun of me to the point of me doing a, b, or c to all of you.

None of the above. I don't pick on 6ft+ guys who are ripped, it's just bad strategy.

But seriously, it's worth $20 to get in this game! Get over here at 7-7:30 and I can help you not make too many stupid mistakes. Honest offer.
 
So here's the structure I'm planning to go with. Generally when the blinds and antes are = or > 5% of the chips in play the tournament ends.

Starting chips: 5000
25's = 12 (300)
100's = 17 (1700)
500's = 6 (3000)

Each level will last 15min.

Level SB/BB
1 - 25/50
2 - 50/100
3 - 75/150
4 - 100/200
5 - 150/300
Break and Color Up
6 - 200/400
7 - 300/600
8 - 500/1000
9 - 700/1400 <--expected end if there are 10 players or less
Break and Color Up
10 - 1000/2000
11 - 1500/3000
12 - 2000/4000 <--expected end if there are 20 players
13 - 3000/6000
14 - 5000/10,000

Color up is when you remove the lowest denomination chip from play and replace them with the next lowest chip. It helps keep things moving because people don't have to count out as many chips as bets get larger. In the past I have done a "chip race" but in this tournament I think I will just round everyone up. (ask questions if you have them)

I have hosted quite a few of these and with a decent sized group (say 8 or so) two-three hours is about right. With much more than 15, if they have a clue about the game, we would go for 4 easy.
