Re: Potential future Swamp poker game
Yeah I'm pretty flexible. Weekends just offer more drinking and staying up later.
Re: Potential future Swamp poker game
Definitely interested.

Re: Potential future Swamp poker game
I'm interested as well. Weekday or weekend doesn't matter to me.
I would like expensive whiskey.

Re: Potential future Swamp poker game
Which site? Is it real or play money? If real money would we just deal with site or is it a PayPal/zelle/venmo thing/? Asking for me.

Play with play money, payout real money over venmo/paypal. (I don't think you can play with real money in the US.)Rams Fanny wrote: ↑Fri Apr 17, 2020 1:02 pm Which site? Is it real or play money? If real money would we just deal with site or is it a PayPal/zelle/venmo thing/? Asking for me.
I'm giving Pokerstars a whirl tonight with friends. I think we have 9 so should be a good test.
Re: Potential future Swamp poker game
Real ideally, but yeah -- not sure how we handle that tbh. Any help? Play money is fine if that's the only option, but tends to make the games a little dumb sometimes.Rams Fanny wrote: ↑Fri Apr 17, 2020 1:02 pm Which site? Is it real or play money?

Re: Potential future Swamp poker game
In theory, one person collects all the buy-ins (via venmo/paypal), you play your tournament online with play chips, and then that person pays out to the winner(s) over venmo/paypal.

I’ve done three poker stars “home game” tournaments - it has been seamless.

Organizer holds money ahead of time via PayPal or Venmo - pays out winners when done - there were 60 in the the tourney last night at $100 a head - paid to eight places and first took $1700+
Re: Potential future Swamp poker game
Interested
How do you all get your death notices since I left?
Re: Potential future Swamp poker game
I have to ask - are we planning a big money tournament, or a friendly game of somewhat modest stakes?

Good point. But, I don't leave poker for dinner. I don't have high standards, but I do have standards.

Re: Potential future Swamp poker game
I was thinking something in the middle. Maybe a friendly $10-$20 buy-in tournament, especially if we can get a couple of tables full.

I wasn’t suggesting big stakes - just letting you all know it handled 60 with ease on poker stars and how they handled the payouts

I kind of want to join, but I've never played poker outside of video games, so I'm apprehensive about being the guy everyone gets mad at for ruining their hand or whatever.

Hold on, I'm trying to see if Jack London ever gets this fire built or not.

Re: Potential future Swamp poker game
Let's do this all democratic and shit. I just posted a poll, you can select two options. Whichever date wins is how we go. Think we're just going to have to assume everyone can't make every night.

I'm not going to vote, but I would like to be able to jump in pending my availability after date and time are established.

That’s why you should vote. I’ll leave the poll up until Tuesday morning by the way so hopefully everyone gets a chance to put in their preference.DSafetyGuy wrote: ↑Sat Apr 18, 2020 9:40 am I'm not going to vote, but I would like to be able to jump in pending my availability after date and time are established.

Re: Potential future Swamp poker game (Poll up to pick a date - pick two choices)
I'm interested but my availability is very limited.
I voted Tuesday, It's the only night I'm available in this batch. I would have to make a pokerstars.net account.

I don't know why that is the one demographic I do extremely well in. Seriously is a mystery to me.

Re: Potential future Swamp poker game - Tuesday, April 28 8:30 PM ET
The winner was Tuesday, April 28, so that's what we're shooting for. I kind of pulled 8:30 p.m. out of a hat, but should give those with younger kids time to get them to bed and the west coasters time to finish up with work and whatever else they need or want to do.
If you're available on Tuesday and want to participate, add your name to the list in this Google doc.
Someone else is going to have to help out as far as instructions on what to do on PokerStars or wherever we choose to do it.

Is this definitely going to be on Poker Stars? I may have an account with them from 10 years ago or I'll just start a new one.

Aside from downloading the Poker Stars app and sending my entry fee to whomever the appointed keeper is, what will I need to do?
