Please take a look at the Rules page. I have tried to clarify many of the Rules that we play and have played.

Last night we finalized the Vote on the Cup and a buy-in change.

The Cup will stay as is. Some have suggested they may have a separate wager on who wins the cup. This is completely independent of the game and is between members who wish to do so.

The second item that was voted was to amend the buy-in rule to include buy-ins after the top up but not when only 3 or less are in the game. Please see rules for details.

A motion to change the buy-in to 7500 was re-opened and was posted on the website for vote by Wayne. Please let your vote be known as the members at the table last night have already voted.

Finally if you see something in the Rules that needs to be changed or added please let me know.

Please vote online for the following change before the start of the game on May 23

1.  Rebuy amount to be raised to $7,500 instead of the $5,000

Just a friendly reminder that Evan has posted that we are having a meeting tonight to vote on rule changes. We currently don’t have enough for a game so it could be a short night. Log in and sign up for tonight if you can attend and see you at 7:30 if you can make it.

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.

Evan

This game was started for a bunch of guys to come out and have fun and play a little poker. Nobody gets rich at this game or poor. It gave us a reason to get together for some special events and have some fun. Now it seems every week that everyone is pissed off and constantly wanting rule changes.
My suggestion is that if you are looking for a friendly game to come and have fun at then come back to our game and play and have fun and try to get your name on the silly cup for bragging rights. If you are looking to go to a game to make a $1000 a week then That is probably not going to happen here.

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!!

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.

Posted by Al

1)  New Start Time   7:30

2) Blinds structure stays the same (no anti)

3) 5 min break at top up if requested

You should now be able to sign up for tonight. PLEASE if you are playing tonight sign up and comment here that you are playing.

If you ever find that you are unable to join the game and you should be able to then text or send an email to Rich or myself or post a message. It would also help if you know you are in before Monday then add yourself to the list you can always remove yourself Monday afternoon.

We do not have enough to play tonight so the came is canceled
