The Angry Pickle Card Club: First Annual New Years Day Poker Tournament

Picklz

SUDO Make me a SAMCH
I would like to invite everyone to the
First Annual Angry Pickle Card Club New Years Day Poker Tournament!!


The APCC Started a couple years ago, and I'd like to start a new tradition of hosting a poker tournament on new years day every year. Come join us for our first ever New Years Tournament.

I would like to try and play 2-3 tournaments if we have time and people are interested.

When: Feel free to show up anytime after 1:00pm - Would like to start the first game promptly at 1:30pm
Where: Angry Pickle Card Club (My house in Ramsey, See Below)
Why: No Limit Texas Holdem Poker Tournament(s)
Who: YOU - I have room for 9 or 10 at my main table - if more than that wish to go I am thinking about setting up another 4 or so people at my square bar table and combine the two tables when we get down to around 8 players total remaining.

Because this is a tournament and I have limited room please RSVP - I understand shit happens sometimes but if you are going to commit to going please try and be reasonably sure you can make it.

General Rules:

As with most all of my poker games everyone is invited; even if you haven't played before! All I ask is that you come willing to learn, and wanting to play and pay attention.

This will be a no limit game - bets must be at least as much as the big blind, and raises need to double the previous bet. I want to try and stick to standard/casino rules as much as possible - but I understand this is also a friendly game and there will be inexperienced players, so if you do something that is generally not allowed or not best practices I'll just try and let you know.

Note: I will make decision on all disputes (if we have any, never really have), IF the dispute involves me another knowledgeable player will be selected at random to make a ruling.

Seating
All seats will be drawn at random for each tournament. I will fill in information here as far as how we will handle multiple tables if we end up going that route.


The Chips
This will be a tournament style game - Everyone will buy in for $5 each game and receive their tournament chips. THESE CHIPS HAVE NO CASH VALUE. The breakdown of chips will be:

$.05 chips x 15 for a total of $.75
$.25 chips x 13 for a total of $3.25
$1 chips x 6 for a total of $6
$5 chips x 1 for a total of $5
Grand total - $15

The Blinds
Blinds will run as follows:


Blinds Will Immediately go to 10 minute intervals when play reaches Heads Up (2 Players remaining)


Rebuys: Players will be allowed to re-buy for an additional $5 if they bust out within the first 30 minutes of the game. They will be given $15 in chips and allowed to return to the action. A maximum of 8 re-buys total and 1 per player will be allowed per game.

Payout
Payouts will be based on how many people we have playing using the following scale:


The general formulas used are:
3 Places - 50%/30%/20%
4 Places - 50%/25%/15%/10%
5 Places - 50%/24%/13%/8%/5%

Prizes will be paid out at the end of each game.


Food
We will have various snack type items - lil smokies and/or meatballs, buffalo chicken dip, pretzels, etc,if you wish to bring something to share that would be wonderful, however it is not required. I will have pop and water available, anything else you need for liquids please bring.

In.

Also, this will fucking flop huge when you end up moving to CO or CA and annual is one and done! :) LOL

Also, if you need another setup I have that portable table top that could be brought if needed.

I'm bringing a bottle of Darkness and Smoke for peeps to try.

LOL I don't have plans to leave MN at this point but yeah I guess you never know.

AJ I might ping ya next week and see what we can figure out, the second table might be useful depending on how many people end up being in, would just have to figure out what to set it up on and chairs and such.

Chairs would be the only thing, I have a longer folding table I could bring as well to sit it on, like we had in the garage. Would allow you to run two 8 man games (when four left from both tables they merger and those 8 already out can start a new one, or one larger 16 man game. Again, combine down to one table. Second table can always be used for a cash/change game for those out as well. Either way, I'll keep it handy if needed.

Man I haven't played poker in a long ass time, I didn't realize people still played like this. I miss it.
 
Guess I can't commit...not until I've actually moved...might be doing cleaning/finish moving New Year's Eve....may have a tiny bit left come the 1st.

I'll let you know by next Sunday if you still have openings.

Side note: There will be 2-3 prizes awarded for undisclosed reasons - these will be handed out at the end of the day/evening. They will NOT be related to winning tournaments so even if you don't win cash, you have a chance to win something else cool!

Sounds great AJ.

Hayden it sounds like Josh/Biz are probably coming, not sure if they will both play or not. Have not talked to Jake yet.

Also I am probably going to adjust the blind timers/levels a bit to make sure we can get a couple 2-3 games in vs one super long game.
