Official Announcement! Gameface Poker Resurrection -- Saturday Apr. 23rd @7pm
- Thread starter Gameface
- Start date
There is a possibility that starting in May there will be a new poker league. This isn't going to be something I do by myself. Turns out my manager, who is originally from Brazil and has been in the U.S. (via Mexico) for about a year, is WAY into poker and specifically he loves poker leagues. He has a nice poker table and he actually uses the same poker tournament software I use. He wants to do a 6 month league, one game a month, drop one game. The tournaments will rotate locations between at a minimum my house and his house, maybe one other house.
We still have some details to work out, but he wants to pay for the league winners prize pool upfront and then not take anything out of the monthly buy-ins. He originally wanted it to be $100 up front, but we talked him down to $50. The monthly games would have a buy-in of $20.
Anyway, it's not a done deal but I'm assuming something will happen. He'll be at the game on the 23rd and we'll talk about it more then.

I actually haven't touched poker in over a month. So, yeah, I'm all hype.
I think you'll enjoy a live game. I hope so, anyway.
Did I mention that I'm in?
Yes. I got you down.
This should be good. From what teh other guy was saying I think he just plays the regular games and then divvies the money up based on points. I kind of want to talk him into a championship game.
I'm sure he'll be open to some input at the game. Guy makes my obsession with poker seem trivial.
So there are a few more people I want to invite and I have a couple more people than 20 who have expressed interest, so I think we'll go ahead and allow 28 RSVPs and plan on a third table.
HOWEVER
I don't want to get stuck with 20 players or less and not know if people are going to show up or not and hold up the game or have people spread over three tables when we could fit on two. So, PLEASE let me know if you have a change in plans. Doesn't matter if it's last minute, I'd much prefer to know. But the big thing is this, if it is 7:15 and there are only two tables worth of players who are either present or who have specifically told me they are going to be late then I'm cutting the third table and anyone who shows up later who didn't let me know will unfortunately be out of luck. I sort of hate to do things that way but I want to start the tournament at the designated time and I want to have the right amount of players on the right amount of tables, and I want to be able to play my cards without too many distractions.
So please arrive a little early, like 6:45 give or take a few minutes, or let me know you're running late.
It's gonna be fun!

I believe Gameface is a strictly open carry guy.
