That's right our first annual poker championship with bragging rights for a whole year and maybe a T Shirt - Dieter, please e-mail me regarding the T shirt.
 
I have estimated that we have the followin' PLAYERS
If your name is not on this list and you want to get Spanked.....I mean play let me know. There is only the initial buy in for $5 and that's it - NO REBUYS - I REPEAT NO REBUYS
 
The following estimated players are as follows:
 
1. Bob G. - our beloved wagonmaster
2. Dan
3. Kristi
4. Yours Truly - Dave M.
5. Dee
6. Dieter
7. Dave H. - Pimp Daddy
8. Bryan
9. Karen
10. Jim
11. Jeanne
12. Harold
13. Wayne - I know I know and
14. Kevin C.
 
That's probably 2 tables for now - we will draw names for players for each table - you can play any game - dealer's choice - we will have a time limit - then the top two (for right now) players at each table will bring their chips and monies from their table and play at the championship table. Play will continue at this table until a certain time - at that time a champion will be delcared - the person with the most chips. The champion will then receive a percentage of the total monies from the tables - I have not figured out the percentage but I'm leaning this way. Winner gets 60% - 2nd. place gets 30% - 3rd place get 10%.
 
The game will be played Saturday - what time - let's decide - I'm thinking 2 hours for the initial start and 2 hours for the championship table. I'm open for suggestions regarding the above.

Dave,
 
 A great idea! Why did you not come up with this years ago?

 Im in for sure!:eyecrazy:

 The time I would be inclined to lose more would be in the night time! We are going to Pumpkin patch at Faulkner farms this year. Then the craft time, the costume contest, trick or treating, potluck dinner, movie time for the kids with you turning on the projector, so anytime after that is good!

 Thanks for adding another item to the adjenda, but we play poker anyways so it's going to be extra special!
Bob

Around my house, this is called "begging for forgiveness instead of asking for permission"  :D

I am in as long as we don't start at 11pm, and the first game is not Pimp Daddy.

Kevin - you already in as #14 in my first post - if you're dealin you get to name the game - the consensus is that we have a variety of games rather than just Texas Holdem -

I like it, the latter we start the better (within reason).  This will definatley change the way I play.  Instead of losing stupidly I'll lose smartly!
