Texas Hold'em Poker Tournament

[MATCHBX]

I was thinking about having a poker tournament over at our place on friday. I was thinking about having it a $20 buy in for each person with the one holding either the most (or all) of the chips at the end of the night winning the whole pot. Basically when you buy in, we split up the chips equally and play.

Now we could either have a time limit or just play until everyone is ready to quit. Or we could just play until someone won all the chips. I vote for the last one.

I would like to hear some feedback about this. If we are all in agreement by tuesday nite, then we will hold the tournament here. BTW, I live in Burnsville. I'd say we start about 7pm and go from there. If there is someone that can't make it until 8pm, let us know and we will schedule it for 8pm. Let's get this nailed down by tuesday nite so we can have an official thread that we can put in the general events. Unless the mods want to go ahead and relocate this one to the events section. I will post up directions when we find out who is all coming.

----Edit----- It should be Friday Jan. 16th in the title line.....

I think we would, but I'm too broke to front $20 :cry:

Anybody is more than welcome to come out and hang out as well. We don't have a huge amount of space but we should have enough room for 10 to 15 people. While we are playing cards, others can watch TV, DVD's or play playstation games. We have a PS2 with GT3, GTA Vice City, GTA3, WRC, Hitman 2, and NFS underground.

I might even be able to front you the $20 if it comes down to it. Then we could split the winnings if you win.

I think is we sell the suspension by then we coudl do that. And if it's no limit hold'em we need to make sure the rules are correct and we do a small & big blind. And go till 1 has all the chips!

No pros, so Nash you can't play.. lol j/k

If I'm in town, you can count me in. I have that weekend off from work. That can only be good news for the rest of you, considering how I ended up last time. :razz2:

I'm in if a decent amount of people play, and tourney rules apply(blinds double at regular intervals).

That part is fine with me. I just wanted a set buy in price for everyone so that everybody starts at the same point. I feel the same way about going until one person has all the chips. Hell we might not finish until 5 or 6 am but that's the fun part.

If anyone needs to crash here that night they can. We don't have alot of space but there is a reclineer, a couch and a bit of floorspace. But I imagine most will end up going home anyways.

BTW, We will have bbq smokies in the crockpot and a few other things to eat. We should have a few 12 packs of pop but if you guys want to bring other things with you to drink and eat, that's fine with us. We could always order pizza as well.

Allan, if you guys come could you bring your set of chips? If we get quite a few players, we will need extras. That way it will make it interesting.

Also if anyone has any extra chairs (like those ones that fold up into the bags), try to bring them.

And as a side note, we do have a few birds, so keep that in mind if you are allergic. They will be in their cages though, so don't worry about them flying around.

You know I'm in!

I will be there at least to keep Terrina company :D

Damn, I would be in, but that is the night of our company Xmas party. I have a little hottie going with me, so I can't back down :idhitit:
