ok, so i'm gonna try to plan a poker game or two in my room, with plenty of booze/assorted beer/snacks provided. if it's big enough, i might even try to organize a tournament. i'd like to keep it in the hotel though, as i'm guessing playing for money at the meydenbauer center would be a big no-no. so uh, who would be interested? i'd like to see how many people would play to see how many chips i would have to bring, etc.

Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
don't suppose anyone would be interest in a forty or fifty dollar game? we used to play with 20 bucks, but after getting a real job and playing at the casino it's just not the same.
A full day of video game goodness can only be topped off with poker and beer. This sounds like a fun idea except not for forty or fifty game. I'll have to see how much I have left after the trip to pax :?
Not to compete, but I'd be willing to figure out a way to get a "high stakes" game going. I'm actually thinking something like, $20 minimum buy-in .20-.40 blind pot-limit. That would NOT be the game to play in if you've never played the game before, but if people like Knight and Twisby are interested in actually playing for some "real" duccats, I'd be game. Naturally, this would be after-hours and a non-official kind of thing.
I would be up for some higher stakes. As we get closer to the date we can set a time/place/rules etc.. As long as the game doesn't interfere with my PAX responsibilities, I should be good to go. We need to make sure Khoo plays at least one game at the High Stakes. I know he has skills.
Perhaps we can break this into two tiers of poker goodness? Have the $5, wet-your-whistle Poker game, the casual good times game. And then have the $25 Texas Hold Em tounament where it's a no-holds-barred fight to the finish.

I'll have to think about this.
For some reason I read that as Penises or Nickles... I was like, When did Penis become a commonly accepted currency?
poker's no fun unless you play for money.
by money i mean $5.

Please, does anyone have a guide that starts without an assumption that you can play Poker already?
Every guide I find refers to other styles of Poker instead of standing on their own. I know:
-The suits
-The cards
-What a "hand" and "deck" are
-Jack shit beyond that.

Well, if spider's in them I'm in.
If Khoo's going to be there, I might have to show up just to try and get his money.
