Who's ready for another poker game... maybe March?

[Jolene]

I know it will be coming directly on the heels of FIDO's Cuatro De Mayo Casino Night, but Jesse's birthday is on May 7th, and so, we're going to be celebrating with, what else?, POKER, at our house on Cinco De Mayo.

Feel free to join us.

We're gathering at 7:00, but that may include some non-playing friends, so games may not actually begin until 9:00 or so. Feel free to come later!

(Last time, we did a tournament buy-in for 20.00, with top three places paying. Haven't settled specifics with him this time around, but if we have enough players, I'm sure that's what he'll want to do again.)

Bumping this up! I have come to realize that I was very confusing about the date of this poker night (because three+ people have quoted the wrong day to me. ack!):

Saturday, May 5 - Cinco De Mayo
We're gathering at 7:00, but that may include non-poker folk, so it may take a bit to get the game going. Come later, if you'd like. I want to start by 9, at the LATEST.

Tournament buy-in for 20.00 with top three places paying (amounts dependent on players).

PM me for directions if you need 'em!

We're working on that too! We were just going to do Jesse's birthday there, but not all of our friends are into paying $40.00 for something in Folsom when they don't live here and/or don't have dogs. (Plus, they like the chance to win the pot, you know?) Sucks, I know, but it's true, so best of both worlds for us that weekend. We hope anyway. (=

If you don't get enough poker tonight, we're still doing poker at our house tomorrow!

Looks like the non-poker players are either flaking or coming earlier, so the tourny will start earlier than later (probably around 7:30 or 8:00).

$20.00 buy-in, top three places will win money. Currently have 10 players confirmed, tentatively 14.

PM me for address/directions.

We're having another poker night at our house on July 13. That's a Friday. We'll begin between 7-8 (whenever, people get there and are ready to play).

Tournament structure, same as we've been running it, as it seems to work well so far. $20.00 buy-in, top three places win money. Then dealer's choice after that. First time we did this we were done at 10:00. Last time, we played until 1:30. Come join the fun!

PM for address/directions.

When I read your post, I was shocked that your game wrapped up at 10PM, but happy to see that it is now running past midnight as time went on. Sounds like a good time!

I host pretty often, and seeing the sunrise is pretty common for us.

Yeah, I think that the one in January involved one person winning most of everything and other people not being too happy about that. At the one in May, the chips were a little more evenly distributed, so the play went longer.

(Of course, I was coming off of Strep Throat and in my first trimester of pregnancy, so my play was CRAPPY. I definitely need to redeem myself this time around, so I hope there are a lot of people there for me to take money from. )

It seems like hold'em games just don't last that long. When you mix it up and play just a good night of poker (baseball, jacks or better...trips to win, guts, acey-deucey, high-low-high, 3-card lowball, etc.) that the game can last til all hours.

Yet you still tend to bow out early with empty pockets

Reminder! Our next poker night is next Friday, July 13th, at 7:00 p.m..

Details above. Hope to see you there!

[Jolene]

Okay, I lied! This is the last update! This is tonight! If you find yourself without plans, feel free to come by. We'll start the tournament between 7:00 and 8:00 and then play dealer's choice after the tournament.

PM me for directions. Everyone is welcome (IE: Men AND Women).

Do you need help with anything? What type of snacks can we bring? I'll bring some wine...if anyone has preferences ( Cabs, Chardonays, Merlots, Ports, Zins), let me know!
