All day Poker-- Tournaments and Cash games

Sorry for the late notice on this, I've been on leave and feeling extremely lazy! Tomorrow the cards will be in the air and chips will be moving! Starting at 11 AM I will open my doors and begin hosting satellite tournaments. The satellite winner will receive 3 tokens for the big tournament at 7 PM. Each token is worth 1 buy-in, rebuy, or add-on. You may play and win multiple satellites and use/sell/trade any or all of your buy-in tokens.

The re-buy tournament starting at 7 will run like my normal rebuy tournament. And, of course, cash game to follow as soon as enough people are interested and a table becomes available.

J Wins a big one!

I realize that this post is extremely late, but my internet connection has been down since mid April. Italy is great, but Telecom Italia blows!

Anyway, a big, belated congratulations to J! He took down a big win besting 16 players in the last tournament. The next tourney is TBD as I will be on vacation for the next month.

Will Sonny Repeat???? Find out this Thurs

All,

This Thursday I will host a re-buy tournament beginning at 7 PM. Email me for details/directions. The question remains... will Sonny repeat??? Word on the street is he may not be able to play, but if he does rest-assured he will attempt to defend his crown. Remember that Friday is a down-day, and we all ready have a good number of people confirmed.

Also, as soon as 5 players are ready and available we will have a cash game. The cash game will be a modified dealer's choice (options: NL Hold 'em, PL Omaha, PL Omaha Hi-Lo, PL Razz, PL 7-card).

BYOB and Food/snacks.

Hope to see you there!!!!!

Back to Back!

For the second tournament in a row Sonny D. vanquished all opponents and took another big pay-out. Not only did Sonny finish first for the second tourney in a row, Keyon finished runner-up for the second time in a row! The tournament had 12 players and featured 25 re-buys or add-ons and ran about 4 hours. Sonny and Keyon headed into heads-up play nearly equal and fought over first for nearly 45 minutes.



Another congrats to Sonny, he was also the big cash game winner (in large part because of my money ;) ) All, thanks to all for showing up, see you next time!!!

Tourney and cash game this Saturday!!!!

All,

This Saturday I will host a re-buy tournament beginning at 6 PM. Email me for details/directions.

Also, as soon as 5 players are ready and available we will have a cash game. The cash game will be a modified dealer's choice (options: NL Hold 'em, PL Omaha, PL Omaha Hi-Lo, PL Razz, PL 7-card).

BYOB and Food/snacks.

Hope to see you there!!!!!

Congrats Sonny D!!!!!

Well, the tournament has come and gone, and over-all it turned out great! At its height we had over 30 players and ran 12 different satellites. The main event ran for nearly four hours and made four people a little happier. However, the happiest was Sonny D. He took down all that stood in his way and at the end was the last man standing. He was rewarded by taking home 50% of the total prize pool!! Congratulations Sonny, you are the winner of the Inaugural (hopefully 1st annual) La Casa Nostra Tournament!!! Your trophy (silver card guard) has been ordered and should arrive within the next month. Once it arrives I will post a picture before giving it to him.

Also, I would like to thank Mike for coming down and helping with the tourney!!! I'm sure I could have done it without you, but I wouldn't want to. Of course Mike and Carrie being here also caused the nearly week delay in posting the results... as you might expect every night was a late night as we stayed up drinking and swapping stories. Mike, now that you and Carrie know where we live I really hope you guys decide to come more often!

Thanks to everyone who participated and helped make this tournament a memorable one!!!

We will be using TDA rules, I will be the Tournament Director and Mike will be the other "floor" person. Any discrepancy that I am involved with he will resolve and visa-versa. A note about the "trophy", it is a 1-troy ounce silver card guard. It will have the winner’s name and the winning hand. Since it will be customized it will not be available on the night of the tournament—it will take about two weeks to arrive.

I will have beer on tap. I will also have "grill-it-yourself" burgers, brats, sausage and hotdogs along with chips. If you want something else, or would like to bring something for the group please feel free to bring it. Feel free to bring family.

Cash game will follow the main event (it will likely begin before the main event closes out). Cash game stakes and game will be decided by consensus (however, no wild card games are allowed). If a second cash game starts the higher stakes game will be played on the main table. Email me if you have questions or need directions to the house!!
