Manny and Slomo- Poker Stars players

[Jimcs50]

Are we playing today at Poker Stars?

I can play about 4:30 today, let me know if you want to play.

Thanks

[TheTruth]

you guys mind if i try to join in?

[Jimcs50]

Heck no, just get an account at Poker Stars and we will anounce when we get another tourney going.

[Jimcs50]

Manny, where the hell did you go?


Check your PMs.

[Slomo]

I'm in!

[Slomo]

If it make it easier for you it can even be 5 PM (SA time).

ok, we need to get 2 cents and manny to see this

[Slomo]

I sent an SMS to Manny. Any way to contact 2 cents?

[2centsworth]

I'm in for 5pm my time. do we have enough players?

[Slomo]

I'll say it again: I'm in.

Who else?

[Jimcs50]

I'll say it again: I'm in.

Who else?


Me too

2 cents, is the password still Duncan?

[2centsworth]

that would only make 3 of us which is not enough.

If we can get more players I'll set up the tourney.

[Slomo]

Me too

2 cents, is the password still Duncan? Is the tourney set up? I don't see it.

Edit: never mind I did not see the previous post.

:depressed

:depressed
bright side is we have 3 dedicated players, we just have to find 3 more to have a regular game.

I think Manny would be a regular so that would make 4 so only 2 more.


What's cool about these regular games is that we can get better because we can all share hand histories.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

I'd play, but i need manny to transfer me some money on pokerstars.

[Slomo]

True.

Anyway if we're not playing then I'm off to bed.

[MannyIsGod]

Man, sorry guys. I saw this earlier but completely forgot. I would be down to make this a regular game.

Kurt, I got your back.

[2centsworth]

Let's get a group and make it a regular game if we can.

[MannyIsGod]

Yeah, thats the way to go.

[MannyIsGod]

I'm pretty sure You, Jim, Slomo, and Me would play often. If we could get a few other players to play on a regular or at least semi-regular basis it woudl be good as well. `

[Jimcs50]

Anyone for a tournament Friday afternoon?

[2centsworth]

sounds good to me.

[Slomo]

What time?

If it starts not later than midnight (5pm SA time) I'm in.

Couple of questions for you Hold 'Em players:

What is the "rake"?

Also, why does the dealer "burn" cards before turning over the flop, etc.?

In tournaments, there is no rake, it is in the buy in that they make the money. We play a 10+1 tournament, where the house gets the $1.

They burn the card to keep the dealer from cheating, or to make it harder to cheat.

How about around 3 or so, cst?

[1369]

So it costs you $11 to "buy into" a game?

[2centsworth]

3 sounds good to me. I'll set it up once we have 5 players.

No, just our tournament that we are going to be in Friday.

There are tournaments of all sizes.

You can just play in a ring game and there is no entry fee at all.

:tu

[2centsworth]

it looks like 3pm is going to be hard for me. early morning 9 or 10am would be better, but if it must be 3pm I'll still schedule it but not sure if I can play.

[Slomo]

As far as I'm concerned earlier is even easier. So you guys agree on a time and I'll join regardless of it (until 5pm that is).

[MannyIsGod]

I can play anytime.

As far as what the rake is....

In the poker game of life, women are the rake. They are the fucking rake.
