Poker night

[BigIron]

Anyone still interested in Poker Night?

[mattadams]

yes, definately! In fact I can even propose a date, how about October 9th?

[MMPC]

I'm definitely game - not sure on a date yet, though.

[clavos]

I'll keep that in mind. I should be able to make it.

[y33dave]

Once I hear a date .. I'll let you know if I'm in .. but I don't think it'll be an issue...

Matt mentioned october 9th above...

[Up2myLbowsNmud]

Oh and I'm game for hangin out but I wont be playing, it isnt in my budget... I can act as dealer or beer bitch though...

[BigIron]

The 9th works for me. The missus is still game and said she even make food and bartend!!!!!!

[MMPC]

Okay, the 9th of October works for me as well. Guess we need to start firming up details - like where we're playing! LOL

[mattadams]

We're playin at bigirons! :).
Bigiron, if your wife makes food and all I'm sure we'll chip in, no need for you to front the cost of our food, thanks for offering her services though! :).
I'll bring the poker chips!

[BigIron]

No worries on the food stuff, now we will accept donations for beer!!!

When we get closer to the 9th, I'll post a link with directions to my house in Parker.

[mattadams]

I'm still planning on this :). Got my chips all ready to go! I've found its good to discuss the "guidelines" before hand so theres little confusion...
The way I had figured, and if anyone isn't cool with this let me know... but it allows for $20 to last a whole night typically...
$20 buy-in which gets you $20 worth of chips. Blacks are $1, blues are 25 cents, reds are dimes, and whites are nickels.
We start out with 5 cent/10 cent small blind/big blind and we will occasionally increase the blind to 10cent/20 cents, 25 cents/50 cents, 50 cents/dollar, etc. If you run out of chips, typically we'll allow you to buy in unless it starts getting too late.
We can all agree on a time where if we're still going, we can just cash everyone out or if anyone has a good reason to cash out early, they can do so (none of this I had a really good ahnd so I'm cashing out and taking off crap! LOL).

[MMPC]

LOL, good points Matt. We found out during one of our poker nights how important it is to make sure the "rules" are set out in advance and everyone agrees to them. :P

[twotone]

i'm not 100% positive if i'll be around then, but if i am, i'd like to join in as long as no one minds.

i know chris has already said he doesn't mind taking my money :D

[mattadams]

Yeah I dont mind. Its good to have beginners sometimes... Chris and I were beginners too, not to long ago, LOL.
its good to have rules set out so no one goes home whining thinking they were taken advantage of or cheated or anything. We're all friends and no ones gonna cheat anyone else...

[mattadams]

Alright,t his is this coming weekend, whos gonna make it? :)

[MMPC]

I'll be there with my $20 and some low-carb alcoholic drinks... :wink: Oh yeah, and some almonds... lol (Matt gets it)

[Up2myLbowsNmud]

I get it too chris :wink: I'll probably be with matt... i'll be dealer, dont have $20

[clavos]

I'll say I'm going to make it now, but not definate. Has anyone talked to Bigiron? Where're we playing?

[mattadams]

I've emailed Bigiron, so we'll try to get some directions. If all else fails, i can host it, but my one-bedroom just doesn't have the space to cut it, unless it can't be avoided.

[crazy rob]

I'd like to hang out and play poker with the guys but I need to save up so I can get a new set of leaf springs in the back end. The stock set doesn't really work with the 3.5" lift that is on the front :shock: . Don't ask me, thats what the guy before me did.

[mattadams]

Rob, feel free to come hang out even if you don't play. Courtney won't be playing either.

[clavos]

I was going to swap front axels for Bigiron, he had to go to Washington for two weeks and he was to call me when he got back. It has now been three weeks. I hope everything is going all right for him.

[Up2myLbowsNmud]

Yeah, Rob... come anyway, I haven't seen you in YEARS now!

[Up2myLbowsNmud]

Yeah, Rob... come anyway, I haven't seen you in YEARS now!

[mattadams]

If for some reason bigiron can't host it, we can do it at my apartment. it's not the biggest area, but it'll work. I've got plenty of chairs and Chris offered to bring a table, and I've got hte chips and cards already.

[mattadams]

So... whos interested in this? So far I think I've only got myself and Chris that said they'll definately be there. Anyone else?

[clavos]

I'm going to have to pass. Damn parents and their B-Days.

[Up2myLbowsNmud]

COME ON PEOPLE! LET'S PLAY SOME CARDS!!!!

[Walking Eagle]

Sorry, don't know how and cards don't interest me much.

[MMPC]

What a bunch of... :D Oh well, Matt, you tried.

[clavos]

Who won? Who lost? Did you even play?

[MMPC]

Nope - didn't play because everyone except Matt and me crapped out... :(

[Up2myLbowsNmud]

yeah, i was bummed too... I was all ready to be dealer! lol

[clavos]

The fact that we celebrated my parents' b-days (mom on 6th, dad on 16th) was probably a good thing as I don't have $20.00 to donate to whomever may have won. It would'nt have been me.

[twotone]

sorry guys, i'm still stuck in texas at the moment and missed it...i'll let you know when i'm back in town and we'll definately have a poker night....
