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.

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
