Cup win = $

IDEA:  Optional, we start a separate purse/bounty for a cup win?

$5 or $10 from each player who want to compete for it, if you win the cup, you get the money too.

This would be separate from the rebuy $5 that go into the maintenance fund.

You have to pay before you accumulate any points. (so your first game of this new run)

And of course the cup is eligible to be won by players who don’t participate but they would not be entitled to the prize money, which would be held over until next cup run

Real Friendly game

This was taken from our own set of rules. I’ve highlighted a few words.

      • Players who do not respect each other or this game will be asked to leave the game and not return. This is not a casino or bull ring it is a friendly social game.

Code of Conduct

        • Orderly maintenance of the game and civility among those who participate.
        • A player who repeatedly violates poker etiquette is a disruption to the game

        Cordiality

                  Refrain from criticising another player’s play.

        • Limit unnecessary chatter to avoid disturbing active players.
        • Do not be verbally abusive. (family, race, religion or personal attacks)

 

Seeing as though I adhere the rule of not smashing a bottle into another player’s face, why then aren’t the above rules being enforced?   (Al)

 

Bad Beat Jackpot

In the hopes of adding incentive to attend, I propose a bad beat jackpot.     ONLY 1/2 the money in the cup.

Typically the payout is divided as follows:

  • 50% of the jackpot total is received by the player who LOST the bad beat hand.
  • 25% of the jackpot total is received by the player who WON the bad beat hand.
  • 25% of the jackpot total is divided equally among the remaining players at the table dealt into the hand.

Quads over Quads:

This means both players must have a pocket pair to make quads.

New Proposed rules

1) A separate fee should be paid by those who wish to compete for the cup $10 or $15

(that purse money goes to the winner of the cup).  Those who don’t pay are not eligible for points.

2)  Any player not at the table at the time of their deal has to to put a big blind in the pot.

3)  This is a big one so read. new point structure

first gets 4         second gets 2           third gets 1

  If a chop is made for the money by the final two then the points must also be chopped,   3, 3, and  1 

First eligible player to 20 points gets his name on the cup and purse money.

NO POINTS WILL BE AWARDED UNTIL THIS IS CONCLUDED.

I believe all ideas should be heard, considered, discussed rationally and ultimately decided by majority vote.
