Texas Hold'em

I talked with Trav, andrew and alyssa about this a few nights ago and they seemed down so ill extend the invite to the rest of you. i was planning on setting up a poker game at my place. the game would be texas hold'em and you need $10 to play, we'd put all the money in a pot and id give you guys $10 in chips of varying worth. we'd pretty much play for pennies, the idea is to have a long fun night of gambling. i want to play for money because if no money is involved i dont take the game seriously and i tend to take risks i wouldnt normally take, same with my brother, so for the sake of keeping it sporty and hopefully preventing it from getting out of hand you gotta put $10 on the line. if you guys are still interested we need to set a date, i was thinking of doing it Nov. 24, 25 or 26 at like 8pm when i get home from work, gimme some feedback so we can set a date somewhat soon.

here are some websites explaining the game and rules and whatnot for those that dont know them and are interested.

http://www.pokertips.org/rules/hand-rankings.php

i suggest reading all three of those links for anyone who doesn't play this game regularly, knowing that info will make the night go much smoother and be less stressful, but we will have a few practice hands in the beginging just to make sure everyone gets it.

Any of those days work for me but maybe we should shoot for the 24th (Monday) so that Andrew and Travis could go.

I'll be in school, but maybe we can play again during thanksgiving break (27-30 for me). I'll also be in Alameda this weekend.

this would be much easier to figure out if more people than just you and alyssa commented on the site

Well you can count my comment as Travis and Andrew too. So that's 3. Get BJ and Doug to answer you.

ok, we'll try for this saturday (22nd), otherwise well do it on monday the 24th, or both, whatever.

update: bring two $5 bills instead of a ten. the first game we will play with $5 just to see how long it will last and all that crap, also, i dont know if i have enough chips for everyone to have $10 worth without the chips being too expensive. if we all had fun with the first game then well throw in our other five and play again, you can always bring more money if you want but i doubt it'll be needed.

christ, have you not read any of the other comments?! brian is in town this weekend, i figured we'd try, TRY being the key word, to do it this weekend.

Well we already talked about this. If you want to have a practice game we could do that since BJ doesn't know how to play. Trav and Andrew can come later if we are still playing.

sounds good then, well have a small "practice" game Saturday while Brian is around and Trav and Andrew can stop by when there done with work. we'll do a "real" game on Monday. bring money to both. 1 cent = 1 chip, $1 = 100 chips, for Saturday id say bring at least $2 so the novices can get a fell for betting (betting is a big part of poker, you need to now how to bet otherwise you either wont make money or you'll loose it all too quickly). on Monday everyone should bring 2 $5 bills. no money, no chips. after all the games are played, chips will be exchanged for the corresponding money.

scratch what i just said about Saturday, you don't need to bring money unless you want to. instead Saturday will be a learning day for those who need to learn. you can bring money if you want, it will make things a little more interesting but its not necessary. everything i said about Monday still stands. both Saturday and Monday games will start around 8, that's when i get home from work.

ok, another update, this is for monday only. i only have enough chips for 7 people to play, this is the list i have. me, nick, olivia, alyssa, trav, andrew and bj. if anyone else was planning on coming you better speak up quick so i can get more chips, otherwise you aren't playing.

*sigh* another update. moose will be there on monday too, so im getting more chips, if anyone else is going speak up before sunday so i know how many chips to get.
Travis said…
Yeah, Saturday is iffy, but I'd like to learn how to play.

Whose coming today??
Anonymous said…
saturday, whoever wants to come can, trav and andrew can come whenever they get off work, however late that may be. that will help make monday go a lot smoother. alyssa, bj, and brian, i expect you guys most of all today, trav and andrew are hopeful possibilities for much later today. but whoever is coming, im not home till around 8pm. today is very simple and relaxed, in every aspect, if your late no one will care, if you dont show,no one will care. i dont care too much about tonight, i already know how to play, its a practice game for you guys, so if you want to know how to play show up.

Sounds good. BJ, you better come.
