Nothing like carrying a gun to a $20 poker game to make you feel like you really don't have a two inch ******. Jesus. Pathetic.
Poker Fools Day 4-1 @ 8pm -- Poker Tournament rnd 2
- Thread starter Gameface
- Start date
Everyone in your group was pretty cool. The guy open carrying seemed like a good guy. I do think the right thing to do would have been to ask me if it was okay to open carry at the game. I still wonder what his thought process was on the whole thing.
My buddy was a little offended. I think what you said to him was "Oh, you're that little gay guy." or something like that. Just to clarify, La Vida Loca and EMO girl brought their other friend last time, and he is in fact gay. My friend, who played last time, is not gay and wasn't really sure where you were coming from with that comment and I think he fired something back at you. It's all good. I think everyone involved is over it.
The table I was on was all happy-go-lucky but I was keeping my ears tuned to your table because it seemed like there was a lot of arguing. I was never sure if it was mostly joking around or if people were actually getting pissed. Hopefully people come to play a $20 poker tournament to have fun for the most part. Winning or losing isn't going to change anyone's life.
I will have the rules printed out next time. Now that the group has a little more experience playing together I think it's time to tighten up on the rules a little.
La Chica Loca was under strict orders not to play. Had she not been begged to play and given free chips I think she would have obeyed.
The 15th is too soon for the next game. I've got my eye on early May. I'm open for suggestions. Would a Saturday afternoon game (starting around 2pm) work for people?
A lot of people didn't do the bounty last game. Should we continue it? I'm good either way.

So far things have gone far better than I could have expected. I plan on doing it again.

I figured you were writing your buy-in off as a business expense. Does someone actually have to buy insurance from you before you can do that? We'll have to talk...
Franklin asked him about insurance and they talked a little. He could turn it in as an expense.
FWIW about the guns: I never felt threatened or worried about them. I never noticed either of them drinking anything. Those of us not packing were the only ones to make a big deal about it. But I do agree with Gameface that they should have asked permission.
Yeah, I honestly didn't think much of it that night, but the guy from my work brought it up in front a a few other people and they were all astounded. From there I started to question it more and I let it get under my skin a little. I hope Franklin doesn't feel like he offended me or that I'm pissed at his friends. They were all cool. Even the drunk guy who won it was a pretty funny guy and didn't get out of control, imho. I am glad you guys (Franklin and the winner) had a sober driver, though.
Everyone from the site has been great. Not a single no-show in two games...that's damn near unheard of. Good people, and I do consider you guys friends at this point, not internet strangers. A few years ago I hosted games connected with "The Salt Lake Poker Meetup Group" on meetup.com before I took a long hiatus from poker. Good people there, too, but I've had more fun in these two games than I had in all the games I hosted for that group. There are a few who liked to play in my games who I'd like to get in touch with and invite to future games, but it was a much more hard core poker atmosphere with them. You guys really are a lot of fun.
Don't worry about me stopping the poker nights, I'm having much too good a time to even consider that.
Hope to see you all at the next game!
You've got to do it man, where else will you meet all these Jazzfanz posters in one place?
