New rules proposal
– get rid of the 25/50 blind and start at 50/100
– top ups are after 400/800 blinds
– 1 rebuy per person at anytime during the night except if there is three or less players left at the table. No rebuys at all when there is three or less players left.
Every player signs a copy of the printed rules and it gets posted on the wall with their signature before they start to play.
The rest of the existing rules remain in effect.
–Wayne
I agree with everything Wayne said as well as Rich about adding Antes for the next cup run.
Wayne and Kevin bring up some good points. I am happy to discuss with all. Please keep in mind each of us is only 1 vote so I am cool to let democracy do its thing.
I am ok with that Wayne but we should probably wait until next cup run to implement. Changing mid run is weird. It’s probably going to be won this week anyway.
Somebody print game rules.
I’ll print the etiquette guidelines.
I would like signed.
Al
I agree Al, start of next cup to implement.
Hey Rich, With the one time anytime rebuy and the removal of 25/50 the top ups will not occur until after the 400/800 blinds. Anybody willing to rebuy after that is probably not going to last very long anyway but at least if you can’t show up until late and get knocked out quick the option to rebuy is there for you. I doubt very many people if any would do it to be honest but to make it available should not be an issue.
May I suggest not printing anything just yet in multiples. Nothing has really been finalized. Etiquette or rules.
Maybe do up one draft copy and bring that one copy to the game.
I’m sure there has to be more suggestions than what has been suggested so far.
Al has made some good points on etiquette but nobody has added not a single suggestion on anything to add.
Etiquette suggestions (additional):
– limit the shouting.
– vote on what is on the TV’s – Democracy whether it be baseball, hockey or presidential debate.
– level/content of jokes limiting (actually does offend some)
– personal hygiene
I’m sure there is more suggestions from others before this is set in stone.
Rules:
Before we act to quickly about blinds, the last four games have ended before midnight.
– I like the single rebuy at what ever time for 5000 chips.
Suggestion – Start time: We had a starting time of 7:30 in place for a month or two and then we switched the time back to 8pm to accommodate a persons work schedule. Now that summer is upon us and
this time no longer interferes with that persons work schedule, maybe we should try and start at 7:30 again. It seems like everyone is concerned with the end times.
This would be either an alternative to giving up 25-50 blinds or a stand alone idea.
I like the 25-50 blinds due to the fact it eases everyone into the game in most cases and allows people to catch up on weekly patter.
It also doesn’t penalize the player(s) that much who can’t make the starting time.
I would also like to make a suggestion to something that has been brought up recently in separate email/posts.
The possibility of the accumulative weekly cup money to go to the winner of the cup round. I think this would be an incentive of weekly returning attendance.
That being said, maybe introduce a 10$ admin fee at the start of every cup round from any player who wants to eligible for the Cup winnings.
This would cover any new cards needed, a new fan and another incidentals that are needed.
I would also like to suggest that any or all infractions after we agree to whether it be new etiquette standards and rules have a little grace period.
We are all guilty (most) of breaking the rules or etiquette code somewhere down the road. I openly say that I’m the largest offender and would openly apologize to anyone who took offense or was insulted at what most of the time was a joke or to get a reaction.
Society today is a tougher place to live then it’s ever been.
Some people don’t feel comfortable in expressing, questioning or suggesting things publically.
I encourage everyone to speak up and have a say. whether it be in this open forum or one on one with someone who might be able to have a voice on any subject.
Vote for Trump… see you all tonight
Wayne – what is the reason to remove the 25/50 blind, speed up the game or remove the $25 chip that we only use for one blind?
Speed it up a little and yes we only use them for one blind. We are just thinking about trying something different.
Since we are on the topic. Lets add Anti’s after the top up to speed things up a bit.
I think this idea is also not bad but let’s try removing the 25/50 and one anytime rebuy first to see how long the game goes.
I’m not so sure about the ante… I think in an organized and structured tournament, yes, they build the pot and keep more people in the hand. However, I believe it’ll just slow our Monday game as we would now need to wait for everyone to put their attention back on to the game and then if someone forgot to ante-up, we would potentially be waiting to figure out who it was.
get rid of the 25/50 blind and start at 50/100
This is fine
