Who out there plays? And if you play, how do you feel about tournaments? And if you like them, would you be interested in the '1st Annual GLB Poker Challenge" ? I want to have something like this at my new house, the PoorBoy Palace, sometime in the near future. But after all the Holidays acourse. Maybe sometime in mid January. If there is enough interest, we can make it happen.

ME!
Can I win? If so, I'm in...if not, I'm still in, I just won't be as obnoxious...
Will it be on TV? Aren't all poker tournaments on TV now?
Bring the gear over and tape it mark. Maybe we can get PBS to broadcast it during sweeps week.

I would be down. Something to pass the winter.
I am interested.
I would be interested depending on the date. January is a busy month for me.
i would like to get a weekly game together for anyone near royal oak, clawson, troy area,,, i am in clawson and play with a couple guys from work, but we need more players.. we play dealer's choice, with a nickle ante,,, big money... $10 will usually last all night. i offer my poker table and house weekly, usually friday nights, from 6pm until 9pm. often, i make dinner, like spagetti, so you get dinner out of it too. i am in for any poker, and let me know if you are interested in my game as well, thanks, derrek
Im just gonna throw this date out there and see how it fits.
January 20th
I dont really care what time we start. I am open to suggestions. We can start early or late. Probably the earlier the better tho. But i will make sure the blinds go up fast enough to keep it moving, but not too fast to break everyone too quick.
Im thinking $50 buy in. If that is too much, let me know. Whatever works out best for everyone is what we will go with. With $50 i am thinking somewhere along the lines of a $700 1st place pot if we can get 30 people together.
I will round up some food, but i think its gonna be BYOB. Otherwise i might be left with a ton of extra keg beer, and who wants extra keg beer, right? That will just get me into trouble.
Looks like we have a couple guys already interested. Anyone else? Oh, also.....for the smokers i offer you my backyard, front porch, and driveway. I would let you smoke in the house, but i really hate the smell. No offense. Your more than welcome to spit chew juice into an empty bottle tho. That for some reason doesnt bother me.
Lets hear some feedback. I am free every weekend til the season opens so lets work this out.
Maybe we can have Lt Dan as the guest of honor? If he would be kind enough to grace us with his presence.

I would be interested in playing a no-limit hold em tournament. The buy-in you mentioned sounds about right. Where abouts in Michigan would the game be located at?
Chad
I be in.
I don't play but can I come and watch. Maybe huh can I?
where is the game at? on that day, it would need to start around 4pm, if that worked. are you talking 100% payback too?
i can bring extra poker chips with me.
derrek
4 pm is fine by me.
The game would be in Wixom, MI at my house.
Bill, you are more than welcome to come hang out with us.

We have a pretty good group so far:
ME
CHEETAM
REV
JOSHIMOTO
DHUFF
BIG_GAME_HUNTER
NITRODERREK
WAGS
CVAN and HOOKSETTER are 50/50. Both have other things to do but will try to make it in time.
Anyone else interested? Gonna be fun. You wont want to miss it.
If the entry fee is too high, let me know. nothing is set in stone. $50 was just a suggestion. It has been pointed out to me that the entry fee may be discouraging some from playing because it is so close after the holiday spending spree.
Let me know. I would like to get as many people as possible to hang out.
Stackenem and Fishon1219 are coming over just to hang around and mingle.
McCarter himself :-\'
Can we bring others that are not on the board? If so I may be able to get one or two more good guys to come? I mean they are fisherman so they can't be that bad hey.....! lol
Certainly. Everyone is welcome. The more, the messier.
PoorBoy himself :-\'
Just found the thread. I'd love to play, but right now I can't see myself ponying up the $$. Any chance on having the entry fee optional as a side pot for those who can afford it? I'm more in it just for the fun.
have to ask my mom, if i can come over and stay out late. i suck, but am good at donating.
i see you are using the bass tourny formula for the pay out.
30 players, 50.00 entry fee = 700.00 pay out. ( just kidding ).

Thats only if its an ABA event ;D
Haven't heard anymore about this. Is it still on and we need a map. Ya'll gots to member I is in Howelltucky and might need derections to da big city.

Parking may be an issue, so we may have to divert some people across the street to Kroger parking lot. But dont worry, i live in a fairly safe neighborhood. We might be ok tho.
McCarter himself :-\'
No GPS Coordinates? Loser...
Just remember the ABA on St. Clair. I told you I would get you back. You won't forget me next time. LOL
mom says i can attend. what time?? i have to be home by May 4th
Im thinking you can head over as early as this weekend. I know its still a week before the actual game, but this way you can get my house all cleaned up so i can make a good impression on the rest of the guys.
For serious tho, i think someone suggested we start at around 4 pm??? that works for me, but we really need to try to cater to everyone. So i need some input from y'all.
McCarter himself :-\'
4pm is good for me.
Dosn't matter. 4pm works for me. I am good for anytime.
I'm pretty sure I'm a definite, 4pm is good for me. Location is very convenient, as I'm just a couple of miles north of you up Benstein. I'm going to try and stop by at the Ultimate Fishing Show and introduce myself.
Chad
Good deal Cvan. Work has got me doing some crazy shifts right now, so i will be at the show at some off times. Originally i was going to work Friday from 5-close, then Saturday from about 3-close. Now they have me working nights to get caught up on a hot job.
I will be there Saturday morning until 3:30 pm and then all day Sunday. If you will be there at the same time, stop by the Wonderland Marine Booth and we'll chat.
Everyone else. 4 pm it is. We will probably start a little later, but feel free to show up at 4. I am working on getting a 1/4 barrel (thanks Kev) so dont worry about bringing beer. I am going to get some hot dogs and chips as well. Nothing better to soak up keg beer than microwaved pork bi-products! Just kidding, Kev is bring his grill, no microwave (unless you really like them that way).
Again, if anyone is going to be late give me a call. We can keep you in for the blinds only until you get there. If you are going to be just a little bit late, call me and we can wait. And if anyone is unsure about directions, call me. CALL ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rev, we cant let you play for free. Im sorry. If you need a loan, let me know. The juice starts at 25%. Just kidding. Hope you can still make it.
McCarter himself :-\'
I'd love to be there, but my truck just cost me $2300 in repairs. OUCH! Now I'm broke and in a bad mood. >:( I bought an 02 in 04. It was "certified" but they never checked to see if it was maintained properly. Long story short, the engine needed to be rebuilt. So I have to tighten the belt if I'm gonna get this paid off before fishing season starts...so I can afford gas. Have fun guys. Maybe next time.
The poker game has come and gone and i would like to think it was a success. Congrats to Cvan for winning 1st place. Congrats to MaizeNblue for winning 2nd place, and congrats to 3rd place as well. I dont remember who took 3rd.
Thanks to everyone who showed up. A couple guys couldnt make it at the last minute. We will have to do it again so you guys who werent there can make it next time.
Big thanks to Joshimoto and Kev. Both came early and helped me finish up on the set up and running around. Thanks to Josh for the beer and for eating 9 hot dogs. I was figuring on more people and 11 just wasnt going to do it for 60 dogs.
Thanks to Kev for being the grillmeister and making sure everyone always had a full beer or enough to eat.
Thanks to all the members who were there who helped make it a great night.

I hope i am not forgetting anyone.
Good news is, hard work pays off. We were able to finish all the beer despite the lack of bodies present. Good thing, too. Last thing i need is a functioning keg in my garage during the work week :P
McCarter himself :-\'
Next time I will try and get there before Midnight. As an FYI, I have added a good 'ole calendar in my house so I can write down dates and times I have "guy" plans so my wife won't double book me in the future...
I had a great time. Thanks for the hospitality. Im definately in for the next time. I think I had 6 Hot dogs, but I made sure to wash them down with twice as many beers.
