Monday May 16th at 7:30pm we will have a meeting to discuss any outstanding issues and vote on a resolution.
All issues posted on this website that have been carried will be added to the rules. All outstanding issues will be discussed voted and added if needed. If you have not Voted on the site please do so now as any discussion and vote will include the votes on this site and any in person votes. Please see the vote section and there is a post about the cup under posts to be voted on. If you are not able to come at 7:30pm and want to be included please post, email or text and we will include you. You will be able to be heard by text or phone call. If you believe there are missing rules that we already play that need to be added to the website please type them out and let me know. I will be editing the rule page before we start the game.
I hope that we can conclude the discussions and Vote by 8pm but if not this Meeting will conclude no later than 8:25.
ONCE we have concluded this meeting the rules will be added/changed.
The usual Monday night game will be held after the votes. The new / changed rules will be in effect. As with any vote there will be some who agree and some who disagree with the outcome. I hope that since all who wanted have their say did, everyone can now come to the table and we can continue to have a nice weekly social poker event.

I would vote YES to that Wayner
I have been asking for a long time to have this added to our votes for rule changes so here it is officially.
Rebuy rule change.
1 rebuy anytime instead of the cutoff after the 300/600 blind. No rebuy allowed when it is down to just three people. If you are knocked out in fourth place (or higher) then you can have one rebuy but no rebuys when we are down to three or less players.
I have posted in the updated rules we will possibly make a change on the 23rd
I vote yes to this change as long as it does not turn out to increase the length of the game. If after a period of time we find it does then revert back to old rule.
I vote yes
I vote yes to this one as well.
I do like where Wayne is coming from on this but I would vote no to this one.
IMO there is only 3-4 people who rebuy on consistent basis and only half of them would rebuy when it gets above our current threshold.
I would however vote yes to a previous point of raising the rebuys to 7500. this would hopefully entice more people to stay and rebuy.
The size of buy in was voted on in the recent past.
It was voted on I believe late in the fall last year. There is more than 4 new players since then. It was just a suggestion.
My concern is rebuys are way down since Christmas.
There are a few people who feel they still won’t rebuy due to only 5000 chips.
I will rebut regardless of the amount of chips or what time we rebuy until.
I’ll see you Monday…back to work
All I ask is that any proposal gets it’s due process. Good news is it looks like we have established a semi annual formal system to address new ideas without driving eachother crazy every week?
Rich has reminded me that Kevin was not going to be away this Monday. Kevin feels that he can better articulate his position on changing the cup better in person. Since this seems to be the only issue that has not been resolved then It would be agreeable to me to wait for this change/no change to be decided a week Monday. Everything else will be amended today and Monday. Please post if you have an issue with this.
I am going to change the time and add a break to the rules now.
Yes Steve I think we have all agreed that of site and special games are not included.
Make sure you have voted for anything on the site. We can text you Monday so you can text a vote on any changes or additions
At this point I believe I already stated that I am in favor leaving the game as is, so unless I missed a suggestion I vote “no” to what has been brought forward.
Steve
Sounds good…as I can’t come out this Monday but I want to log a vote, where do I find the voting issues, will there be a new Post dedicated to voting issues 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) etc?
Do think that what should be included as a rule to vote on is the frequency of rule changes. I propose after Monday no rule changes will be entertained until January 2017, then July 2017, January 2018, July 2018, January 2019…you get the picture.
And that any off-site game (Wayne’s annual BBQ will not be held to all the rules of the Monday night game).
Steve
COOL. I believe this is fair and democratic. Get your ideas on the table, let’s vote, post the results and then we all move on.
