Next Cup Run – Lets go back to Basics?!

Here’s an idea that i tossed out there last night at Rich’s 60th bday party.

How about we try out a $30 buy in with no top ups, no rebuys for 10k in chips for the next cup run?

Also add a small bad beat prize from the  money in the cup ( $30 to $40 max ) to the mix for someone that gets knocked out within 2 hrs from start of game. ( or the end of 4th blind level )

Something simple as  AA’s full over AA’s full & higher.

Thoughts gentlemen?

Notes

SIDE NOTES…..
MY Personal opinion and thoughts, take them for what you will.

I know I haven’t been out to the game in quite some time due to other personal obligations and committment’s I have at the moment. So my opinions may not matter as much as they used to. I will be back once things settle down. I have always enjoyed playing cards with the lot of you and have enjoyed some eventfull outings such as seeing Al & Rob play, or catching a game with Wanyer or all the fun pot locks and superbowl parties.Can’t forget the game that we had at Rich’s.

By no means do I consider to be the best player of the group or do I think that I’m a professional by any means. All I know is that i’m better than Rich! LOL

I agree with Evan that a fair bit of the guys are attending the game for a social outing, shoot the shit, play some cards and get away from the daily grind & hang out with friends. I personally had the best time playing cards before we introduced the cup. BUT i know all too well that with any competitive game espeically with some $ at stake things will naturally serious nature its own.

We have to decide if the Monday game is more intended for “serious” poker play or a “social’ outing and from there form the rules accordingly.

My vote would be to abolish the cup and start a new.
Continue to take and an “x” amount of $ from each tourney  ( maybe $5 or $10 depending on # of players) and put inside the cup for things like, chairs, cards,chips,tv’s, ear plugs and of course strippers & topless dealers! Vote on how and when to use the $ as a group.

Things will get less heated and pretty sure everyone will have a good time!

that’s my fifty cents,
peace out!!

Start Time

What time is the game starting on Monday?

Also if the table fills up at 12 players and Cuz is available to play will he be permitted to join the game? If not no worries I will bow out and catch you guys next time.
Just want to know before hand so no drama ensues.

thanks
