Hey guys,

With our current weekly dinners; would a weekly, or even bi-weekly poker night be too much of a burden on everyone's social calendar?

I had the idea from a couple members discussing how QLD pubs are actually holding state poker tourneys now for a minimal entry fee, or none at all. I figured this would be excellent for a few folks interested in the game, to learn or to be schooled in the art of outguessing your opponent.

There's a couple options open to either compete as a club team at the pubs, a private game in a licensed bar, or simply just house party it up with dvds, pool tables, and other stuff on offer as well.

So this post is basically gathering interest as to who would be up for a games night, and any folks offering the use of their premises (I know Mushroom and MrBenno have stated several times they have very awesome houses).

Thoughts? Comments?

Go !

Edit: I appear to have noobed the poll, just reply if you'd like to do the tourney option

I already play in a weekly tournament which has free entry. These are sponsored by Wild the sphincter of the universe and are a great night. Blinds go up every 15 minutes so it isn't too late a night. Depending on the venue, some prizes are on offer for the top 3 players. My venue, Club Bunya, has about 50 players on a Monday night.

this sounds cool too

i'm personally keen on the home venue idea so we can do stuff like get completely trashed and make it an all nighter thing, like fridays or something

How many dollars are we talking here, or is it just friendly games.

reasonably friendly

5 dollar buyin gets you $1000 of chips, that can last you anywhere from an hour to several days (if you even lose at all)

nice and cheap as long as you aren't a hideously sore loser, but it's designed to stop people from doing silly stuff like betting the lot on a bluff, etc, it makes people play properly

Kirsty and I would be keen. Would have to be a Friday or Saturday though. Will need some warning in advance to get someone to mind our kids.

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
