Poker Night 6.30.06

Hello all. I hope you all had a Happy Fathers Day.

Next game is Friday June 30, 2006 at 6:45pm. This brings up the first issue on the agenda. Is 6:45 too early for everyone to make it. It seems that most people are not making it until much closer to 7:00 and therefore we are not starting until just past 7pm. There are several things we can do.

1. We can leave things as is and just wait for everyone to show. I do know in advance that some people are going to be late. (Example : Jack is usually right at 7 and he calls and tells me because he works until 7, last time Henry was late but Peter told me and he was all paided for. These are fine and I will start without them and just post them.)

2. If you are not here at 6:45pm and I do not have your money you run the risk of not playing in the first game.

3. We can change the time to start to either 7:00pm and start the whole game later, or change the start time to 6:30 so that maybe people will show up on time.

When you post feel free to put in your own suggestion or pick # 1,2 or 3.

Next issue.
The first game of the 6.30.06 night is going to be done based on your points. For example if we have 24 people Table one will go Bill, Jack, Ryan, Leo, Peter, Paul, John and Kurt. If one of those people are unable to make it then Mohamad would play on table 1 and so on and so forth.

This is just a one time thing and is only going to be done at the first game.

Are there any other thoughts or comments on how the games went this past Friday. How did people like the new chips. Where they confusing at all? Where you able to tell the difference in colors easily enough?

I think that is all. Hope to hear from you and see you all on June 30. 2006.

Poker Night 6.16.06 @ 6:45pm

This is a two part blog. First, there was no sign up list at the last game so you need to sign up if you are coming. Second, when you sign up please take a moment to post some thoughts on the following issues.

Where to start? Can the league get to big? How many people do we limit it to? Do we go to just one game?

Fact #1: First game of last friday had 25 people and lasted just over 3 hours. How long would a game with 30 - 40 people last?

Addendum as of 9:15pm on 6.5.06
Question - What do you think of having a "board of directors" for the poker league? This would help me out making some desions that I would rather not have to make myself. If you think this is a good idea and you would like to be on the "board of directors" please let me know.
