We are having a Holdem Tournament here at my country club tomorrow night(Tuesday). It is a $50 buy in with one re-buy within the first hour. If you are interested, let me know and I will give you more specifics. We are trying to get two tables, right now we have only 10 guys, and want 16-18.

[batman2883]

[PeterBurns]

Where at Jim?

I would if I could Jim, would if I could.

You can set these games up via the internet now a days.... Though, I don't know if I would trust a dealer I can't see.... :spin

[MannyIsGod]

You can play through the internet now? Damn!

[MannyIsGod]

Actually if anyone on here is ever interested, we could setup private tourneys or tables at Party Poker or whatever other room you guys want to use. I know that most of them allow for private tables.

how do we do that?

[SpursWoman]

I would too, if I knew how to play better and weren't certain I'd get totally wiped out. :fro

[Jimcs50]

I would never try to wipe you out.

:angel

[SpursWoman]

Why not? My money spends just as well as everyone else's does ... probably even better. :lol

[MannyIsGod]

Ok, I just checked Party Poker and it doesn't allow private tournaments only private tables, so we would have to use PokerStars. I don't currently have any money in an account there but I would be more than willing to set one up simply for Spurstalk.com tournaments.

Basically, you would need to create a PokerStars account and download the software then make a deposit into the account. We could set the buyin at the amount you want to play at but I think (I'm not sure) it would have to go in increments of 10. We could also choose the game we wanted to play, but I'm faily certain most people in here would want NL Texas Hold 'em.

The minimum deposit is 25 dollars, so we're not talking a huge hurting here. I would be fine with making the buyin something like 11 dollars. Ten dollars of that would go torwards the prize pool and the last dollar would go torwards PokerStars as a fee for hosting the tournament.

It would really be very easy to setup and would allow for people in different locations to play at a very low cost. If you guys are down, I'll be more than happy to set it up.

I'm in!!!

Let me know when I need to join up on Poker Stars.

We can get a head count of who in here wants to play, then pick a night to do it...maybe during a Spurs road game.

[MannyIsGod]

Sweet, lets start getting the headcount up and going and then we'll try to set a night that works for as many people as possible.

[2centsworth]

count me in.

[MannyIsGod]

2cents, I'm assuming you've earned enough points to set it up? Because I haven't (I've never played on their site) so you would have to set it up.

[Puppy Dog]

sorry Jimbo, just read the 3 hour drive part...i'm out...:lol


maybe next time when YOUR in town...:tu

[2centsworth]

I've earned a whole bunch, but I spent most of them on tourneys and what not. let me see what I have to do.

[Mr Dio]

Tu tas loco?


Simon

[MannyIsGod]

It said you just had to have them earned, not spend them. At least thats what support told me, you may want to email them to find out what we have to do to set it up.

I emailed them and waiting for a reply.

[MannyIsGod]

Good deal. If not, I'll find a room where we can have it.

[Ginofan]

I'm the best poker player on this site.\
You all best be fraid.
VERY VERY FRAID...

[MannyIsGod]

Pokerroom.com does allow you to set up private tourneys there, and I have an account with them so if worse comes to worst we can set it up there. They also have the added bonus of having a very servicable java applet so people on macs can play as well.

[TheTruth]

i'll play for sure.

[2centsworth]

Ok Pokerstars informed me I can set-up a tournament any time I want. Just let me know a date and time and I'll set one up.

[LittleGeneral]

We need some girls in this thing too.

Kori? SW?

[Jimcs50]

We had 10 guys show up for the tournament.

We played the first hr pot limit for a $20 buy in with rebuys if you went below your original starting pt.($600)

I lost my stack on the 3rd hand with two pair Aces and Tens, to a set, fives. :depressed Dude flopped a set, and I did not see it at all.

I rebought 600 chips for another $20 and stayed even til the 2nd round.

Then we bought 2000 chips for $50 for the No Limit game in the 2nd round, with no further rebuys.

I was "rivered" twice on huge hands and lost all my chips to finish in 9th place. :depressed

The guy who won it, Rex was on life support in the final 5 players with an All In bet that was about the level of the BB at that time $1200, he tripled up with a river flush, and won a few more hands of considerable size, and ended up winning it with two Qs(Q-9 starting hand) when the last player went all in. This shows that you are never out of a tournament, until your last chip is gone....I did not think Rex had a chance because there were 3 players that had 6-8 times his stack when he won that All In bet.

It was fun, and hope sometime that you guys can make it up for a tournament.

[Jimcs50]

Ok, I signed up on Pokerstars....when are we going to do this???

[MannyIsGod]

Whenever we get at least 10 to sign up here. I guess we could do it with less then 10 though. I've signed up at poker stars too, but I haven't deposited money yet.

[2centsworth]

Is this going to happen? We need 9 players. We have 6 so far and I think I can get 1 more so that makes 7. We need two more.

[Jimcs50]

I can probably get a couple of guys too.

[Jimcs50]

How bout Tuesday Afternoon? Evenings are hard for me because of the kids.

Or you guys could save a lot of time and transfer the money directly to my account because that's where it's going to wind up anyway.

Thats pretty sweet. I played in a 2500 freeroll a couple of nights ago on Party. 800 people to start, and there were about 125 left and I was the big stack in the tourney. I got dealt KK and raised, so I reraised the guy, who pushed all in. I couldn't lay down kings, so I called only to see the guy bust out rockets.

I didn't hit a king and his aces held.

2 hands later, I played AQ. Everyone called my preflop raise but no one reraised it. An ace hit on the flop, so I bet, got raised, and with a much smaller stack the only real rereaise I could make was a push so I did it.

Guy showed me AK and it held.

I gotta look you guys up on Party.

I'm Msalgado80 on Party.

[jcrod]

How much money are yall going to put in? I'll play depending on the buy in. Little tight right now for Christmas.

[MannyIsGod]

I think the buy in would be best set at around 10 -20 bucks for everyone. I'm down with a higher one though.

Oh, and we have to make the time favorable to the Euro's that want to play too.

[2centsworth]

Oh, and we have to make the time favorable to the Euro's that want to play too.game will only last an hour tops (20 mins if I don't carry you), so for the Euro's the game would have to be early afternoon or early morning here.

Jim you get a lunch, so can you play during lunch. That's what I'm going to do.

Just throwing out ideas as far as times are concerned.

Any buy-ins mentioned are cool by me but we shouldn't make too high that it excludes people.

[MannyIsGod]

:lol

[MannyIsGod]

Man, I can no longer sit at teh beginners tables anymroe on Party. :lol It was fun while it lasted.

[2centsworth]

I was j/k about carrying everyone, but serious that the tourney will only last an hour with the amount of people signing up. It's only going to be one table with starting chips of 1500 15 min rounds. 1 hours to 1hr and 15mins tops.

[Slomo]

Obviously I would prefer an afternoon game (pre-midnight here) but if you won't give me your money earlier, I guess I'll just have to stay up late :)

[Jimcs50]

I do not get lunch. I start at 11am and work til 6pm, except on Friday and Monday, I go in at 8 am on those days and work til 3pm.

[2centsworth]

based on that would like to know if everyone can make it on Monday at 4:00pm?

[MannyIsGod]

Yeah, fine with me.

[Jimcs50]

based on that would like to know if everyone can make it on Monday at 4:00pm?

That is good with me too.

Also, I will be off betw Christmas and New Years so I can play any day during that time, except the 27th, I will be at the Spurs-Indy game that night.

:elephant

[Jimcs50]

Anyone at Party Poker right now?

[jcrod]

No go, i have a meeting at 1, 2, and 3. Need to finsih some stuff after.

[tlongII]

Leave it to Jim to invite people to a poker game in College Station.

[Slomo]

based on that would like to know if everyone can make it on Monday at 4:00pm?
11pm over here. I'm ok with that.:tu

[scott]

Why do the Spurstalk Poker Players keep scheduling events when I can't make it?

[PeterBurns]

I'm on right now.

[MannyIsGod]

I'm 4tabling limit right now.

[scott]

Why is Manny afraid of me?

[MannyIsGod]

Because of you're incredible poker skills Scott. :lol

[scott]

I just want you to heart me.
