Season 9 Starts Tonight!

2008-05-06T11:55:00.005-05:00

Season 9 Game 1 begins tonight at 8pm. This will be a shorter season than all the previous ones at only 8 weeks instead of 12 weeks. This is due to our kid #2 due in Mid-July. :) So make every game count!

The rules will largely stay the same, but I'll make some time during this week to update them. Some of the few changes to the rules include the number of weeks in the Season (8) and the minimum number of games necessary to get into the CIT (8).

Season 8 Game 2 Tonight

2008-01-17T09:05:00.000-06:00

The Player's meeting went well. We had the usual suspects show up and give their input. Here's what we discussed.

Resolved:
- Blinds will stay at 10c/20c.
- Initial Buy-In's are now $20 (up from $10)
- Rebuys can be from as little as $10 up to the Big Stack rounded down to the nearest $10. (Ex: Big Stack has $52.40, so someone can buy in for $10, $20, $30, $40 or $50 Max.)
- Season Pot Contribution is still $2 per night.
- You *must now play in at least 10 games* in order to qualify for the Championship Invitational Tournament at the end of the season.

Unresolved:
- How much to increase the Cash Award payouts for the points leaders at the end of the Season. I want to lessen the monetary awards for the CIT and increase the monetary awards for doing well all season long.
- Whether or not to pay out something to everyone at the CIT or just top 3 or 4.
- Whether to do away with the CIT altogether and change the final Championship Game to a Cash Game where everyone is given some Season Pot money and has to play in the Championship Cash Game for some number of predetermined hours before cashing out. The idea is that we run a Cash Game League all season long so why play a Tournament for the Season Pot?

NO GAMES THIS WEEK!

2007-08-20T12:48:00.000-05:00

Sorry guys, I'm going to have to cancel tonight's game. We simply have too much to do before heading out to Vegas tomorrow morning. Don't worry, it wasn't a league game anyway. ;) League games will start up again next Tuesday. See you then.

If you had looked closely at the dates for the remaining games, you would have seen that this week's league games were never scheduled since we knew we'd be in Vegas this week. ;) So Week #5 will start up next week. I do have last week's stats at home (Claire has them someplace,) so I'll update the stats when I get a chance.

Rules Changes and Game 2 Signups

2007-07-26T12:24:00.001-05:00

First of all, since having a dedicated dealer is overwhelmingly popular, we're going to have one as often as possible. Sometimes it'll be Banni, sometimes me, sometimes someone else. More details at the game tonight.

Also, I'm putting in place a new system to get people to sign-up early and often, and also to play longer. The following changes will go into effect on Saturday (not tonight):

1) You may signup/RSVP at ANYTIME for ANY GAME. You don't have to wait to get my reminder emails to signup. Just email me or call me and let me know you want in for whatever game. In fact, if you'd like a 'standing' RSVP, meaning you want to be auto-signed up for every single game, let me know. If you plan to show up for most of the games, this would save you time as you'd only email/call me if you're NOT coming. Be careful though, as there are penalties for RSVP'ing and then not showing up.

2) Bonus points system has been completely redone:

ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO SIGN UP EARLY...
- RSVP'ing (signing-up) now counts for 5 bonus points. You must RSVP by at least 5pm the day of the game to get these points. You can either email me or call me to RSVP. Remember, you don't have to wait for my reminder email!

ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO KEEP THEIR RSVP...
- If you RSVP and you do not show up and play the game you sign up for, then you'll LOSE 5 points instead of gaining 5. You may cancel a signup, but it has to be done BEFORE NOON the day of the game. As long as I get an email or a phone message before noon saying you're canceling your RSVP, you're fine.

ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO SHOW UP ON TIME...
- Showing up before the first card hits the felt is worth 3 bonus points. We're going to try hard to start at 8pm sharp, but all you have to do to get these free 3 points is be inside the house before the first card is dealt.

ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO PLAY LONGER THAN 1-2 HOURS...
- After three hours of play, you get 1 point per whole hour you play. This means if you play 1 hour, you get 0 points, 2 hours, you get 0 points, 3 hours, you get 3 points, 4 hours, 4 points, 5 hours, 5 points, etc.

So if you do everything "right": RSVP before 5pm (5 pts), show up on time (3pts), and play at least 3 hours (3 pts), you'll get at least 11 points. Cool? Cool.

Here's the list for tonite... (as of 4:08pm):

1) Rob
2) Claire
3) Jason
4) Robert

Season 6 is History!

2007-07-16T15:47:00.000-05:00

With the culmination of the CIT this past Saturday... Season 6 is done! Here are the results:

1st Place (Most Points for Season) - Robert - $100
2nd Place (Most Points for Season) - Claire - $50

CIT Results:

1st Claire - $160
2nd Jet - $135
3rd Robert - $90
4th David - $45
5th Brent - $20
6th Rob - $10
7th Hanley - $10
8th Judy - $10

Since Hanley and Judy were no-shows and got blinded out, the CIT was basically a six person tourney. As such, I busted FIRST again... yay! That's 6 straight times that I bust out first, and that includes the two seasons where I won the Most Points for Season Award!

Congratulations to Robert (1st Points / 3rd CIT) And Claire (1st CIT / 2nd Points) for kicking ass.

To everyone else, don't fret. Season 7 is just around the corner: First Season 7 game is July 24th!

Last Game of Season 6!!

Some of you are awfully close to making the cut...

Claire is 77 pts behind Robert for 1st.
David is 26 pts behind Claire for 2nd.
Aaron is 3 pts behind Phil for 8th.
Brent is 25 pfts behind Phil for 8th.
Jason is 40 pts behind Phil for 8th.
Sean is also 40 pts behind Phil for 8th.
Sadlo, Pedor and Karen also have a shot as they are ~50 pts behind Phil for 8th.

Any of those can be done in one game, and surely in two games. Phil's only played a single game and he's in the top 8. For shame.

As of today, the payouts for the CIT are *approximately*:

1st $145
2nd $125
3rd $85
4th $40
5th $20
6th-8th Consolation: A free $10 buy-in into the cash game following the tourney.

I've changed the payouts a bit because I don't think it's fair for those that work themselves into the top 8 not to get anything if they have a bad run in the tourney.

Cinco de Effin Mayo Baby!

2007-05-05T10:57:00.000-05:00

Ummm... witty shit about Cince de Mayo goes here! Use your imagination, dammit. Make sure that you think of the funniest shit that would relate poker to Cinco de Mayo because that's exactly what I would have written if I had the time.

Re: Food

We'll be fixin' home-assembled chili/cheese enchiladas and have a taco bar setup going. Also homemade salsa. And jello shots which are like, you know, Mexicany in a non-Mexicany sort of way... sorta. Shut up. We'll have rice and beans too, so seriously, just shut up.

What's that? You want to bring something? Awesome. Bring some Mexican Beer!! (Rob's partial to Carta Blanca, but good look finding that one. Claire loves Corona.) We'll also take monetary donations if you feel like it.

Food will be ready at 7:30 so come early if you'd like to eat first.

Stats Updated... Robert slipping?!?

2007-04-30T11:08:00.000-05:00

I'm not sure when the last time it's happened, but Claire swept all three games of Week 4. How very ~~lucky~~ impressive! Her 200+ points per week average for the last two weeks have now made her enough points to surpass Robert for 1st place. I find it quite interesting that two vastly different styles have managed to separate themselves from the rest of the pack. While Robert errs on the side of caution, Claire throws caution to the wind. I still believe that a more balanced approach will win out in the end. ;)

In other news, with a decent cashout on Saturday, Aaron has moved into position to enter the Elite 8. He's currently sitting in 9th place, 13 points short of Max and Banni. Speaking of Banni, she earned 5 points this week to pull into 7th place by a fraction of a point. Max and Sadlo contintue to be lame, and finally, Jet managed not to cash out over $250 for two games in a row this week.

Lastly, there is a new rule being added this week. It's regarding talking about the hand if you're not in it.

- Players that do not hold live cards cannot speak about the current hand. This includes talking about what you folded, what cards you think other players are holding, suggestions to a player on how to play a hand ('You should call him. He's bluffing!'), or what the possibilities are with the current board ('Wow, someone just made their flush!') There will be no warnings. The penalty will be one big blind to the current pot if you break this rule. Anybody can object, but Rob will make the final decision on whether the rule was broken or not. If Rob is not present, a table consensus will suffice.

Saturday's Game

2007-04-28T11:45:00.000-05:00

What?!? No Brisket?!? Nope. But I will be putting out Fajitas and Sausage and homemade Salsa!

Sides are appreciated, but not required. How about Potato Salad, Chips, Desserts (Karen... Rice Krispie Treats?), non-diet sodas and beer? Sure. Why not? If you are bringing a side, let me know.

AND... NEW FELT! Yes, I'm leaving to buy new felt right now. :)

In stats news, Jet had vaulted up to #2 after his very first game with a ridiculously huge cashout last Saturday. He came back to Earth on Tuesday, but still managed to make 5 points. Claire, having been knocked down to 3rd, has bounced back up to 2nd with Tuesday's cashout. She's now within striking distance of Robert's 1st place. In other top 8 action, Banni managed to hold on to 8th place while Jet knocked Judy out of the top 8 for now. There's still 8 weeks of poker to play, so don't get discouraged, but you can't win if you don't play! So signup for more games!

Stats Updizated

2007-04-23T14:52:00.000-05:00

I've entered in the stats for Thu and Sat in the spreadsheet. Take a look at them by clicking on the link on the right hand side of this page. You might have to hit Reload/Refresh on your browser in order to see the updated stats.

Please take a good look at your personal stats. Make sure they are 100% right if you can. I'm still tweaking the spreadsheet. Please keep in mind that the Points have decimal places that you cannot see and they do add up over time. So if you're off by 1 point, that's why... the decimal places are fucking with you... < .5 rounds down and > .5 rounds up to the next point. If you're way off, contact me immediately, and I'll try to figure out why and fix it ASAP.

Stats Update and Signups for Thursday's Game

2007-04-19T12:04:00.000-05:00

I reworked a lot of the formulas and crap under the covers on the stats spreadsheet. You won't notice anything, but trust me, I made it a lot easier to input data as well as a lot harder to fuck up stuff. So what does that mean? Quicker stats updates with a lesser chance of any errors. Love me.

Poker and BBQ... Ahh, feels good not to be sick!

2007-04-14T11:34:00.000-05:00

I'm finally almost mostly rid of that nasty Spring cold. Blech. You know that if I miss a night of poker... in my own house... that I'm pretty damn sick. But Friday was better and today's looking ever better. Could it be that a 7 day cold actually goes away in 7 days?

Anyway, now that I'm feeling better, I've updated the stats. Sorry for no Podcast this week, but seriously, I couldn't even play cards, much less record a show. ;)

To make up for it... I'm cooking up another BBQ Brisket for you guys! Hope you aren't sick of it yet, cuz I luvs me some briskets. Donations of non-diet soda (pfft) and beer are welcome. We'll provide the rest.

Saturday's Results

2007-04-09T20:18:00.000-05:00

What a strange night. 10 players for 5 hours, and no one lost more than $10, and no one went negative. I'm not sure that has ever happened in any of the 5 previous seasons. You guys must've been playing extra soft. I was only part of the game for about 90 minutes. That might have been it. ;)

And yes, the stats have been updated.
