Some of you folks should take up this great hobby... it's called reading.

Its only illegal if the house is taking a rake, for the most part

8/24/2004 2:08:45 PM

you guys are lucky that i have class....

Is this Jon Turner-approved?

^And you can shut the hell up any time, poser. If you're so good, you should come to our nightly games and test your skill.

I don't know, Bryce hasn't called me yet.

Oh Bryce.....

8/24/2004 8:43:43 PM

considering last time i only lost to ONE person, and came in second, I really don't think I'm a poser.... but hey, I'd be happy to play in your home games sometime.... and not in anyway did i mean to be cocky... just a little jib and jab. jon knows that i'm a good guy rather than an ass.

No beer...sorry! But there is tons of fun and prizes to be had!

8/24/2004 11:07:50 PM

i am trying to get this thing jon turner approved...if anyone talks to him - ask him to contact me

8/24/2004 11:08:19 PM

FYI, the tournament is now JonTurner approved... $20 in chips, blinds start at $.25 / $.5

It will go well. BE THERE!

But no beer?? I'm confused

Well, if this is Turner-approved, I guess I can wake up in time for it. You gonna be there, Turner?

And if dyson is Turner-approved, I guess I take my comment back. Hard to separate the posers from the real-deal on a message board. Guess we'll see how it all turns out tomorrow night. Hopefully, I'll be knocked out of the tournament before 9:30, so I can go catch some improv at King's Barcade.

Is it until somebody just wins a table or do they have a final table with all of the winners?
What were some of the prizes/gift certificates for in the past?
Should we just show up at 7, or earlier to register, or can we buy in late?

8/25/2004 3:03:58 PM

don't rail me, but where do you go to buy in....the Talley Center?

if only 1st, 2nd, and 3rd get prizes, i guess you have to go to a final table

i was also wondering what the prizes were or how much $ the winners get

and if i need to register early

i suppose i'll just show up at 7
