Who's up for some poker?

[Leewah]

Ok. This is only an expression of interest thread. Nothing has been set so it's not an event.

All I'm asking is who would be interested in participating in a trial poker tournement similar to the World Poker Championships. The game will be No Limit Texas Holdem. Buy-in and rules have yet to be written and ratified but if there is enough interest, I'll do it.

Spectators are welcome but they will not be allowed to advise or communicate with players during play.

Put your name here and depending on interest, people will be contacted soon.

Just add your name to the bottom of either of the lists by copying and pasting the names of post previous to yours. Spots are limited as this is only a trial run. If it is sucessful, a bigger one will be run at a later date.

So... ah, count me in for 1x fool

You'll have to teach me the rules first though. Two of a kind and I yell 'SNAP' right?

Of course - we won't be playing with money, for that would be naughty. It will be some token, worthless item... like match sticks, or ex-girlfriends

[Mavric]

like match sticks, or ex-girlfriends

lol that could be harsh and dangerious ppl could take massive risks espec if it was involving x's lol

[Bec]

I need to learn how to play as well James - I have been watching the WPT (World Poker Tour) trying to pick up a few tips to no avail.

I told Leewang I'd bring the UNO for you, Ash & me. hehehe

Isnt it "soon" instead of "easily" :bonk:

[Jamezilla]

Bah - semantics

But as a point, as stated either way - I'm a fool.

That makes it OK to slightly misrepresent quotes by that 'Anon' guy

[saff_cossie]

:chairshot :uh-huh: :Pimp2:

Anon is a very popular guy, he appeared in one of my thesis on a regular basis :Pimp2:

[Let Me Drive]

ill play depending on what the buy in is

[krzysiu]

If we are talking tokens (not real money) then count me in

[Leewah]

Ok. It seems that some people are asking for tutorials.

Check out http://www.pokertips.org/strategy/nl-primer.php or http://www.flopturnriver.com/start_basics.html for some basics.

I will hold a tutorial session before the tourney begins on another day to give people some idea of how the game runs and rules. I will not be teaching strategy though as it's up to you on how you want to play your hand.
