TAM 8 Poker - Sign up thread!

They would have to catch me first.

Hey Horatius, what kind of beer should I bring this year? Not that you will get a taste of it...

The Pilsner that you posted as an option a couple of weeks ago, looked good!

Do you have any choices? It will be more difficult for me this year, as I'm going to Vancouver the weekend before TAM first, so I'll have to find something there, but I'll see what I can do.....
 
I'm happy to join in on the bounty hunting. Anyone want anything from Atlanta? We have things that aren't peach-based, but not many.

One six-pack of Lagunitas Pils it is. For those who are confused by this, it is a side bet that Horatius and I had going last year. If I get knocked out of the tournament before him (as if), he gets the six-pack. If he gets knocked out before me (much more likely), the person doing the knocking gets the beer. If I knock him out myself, party in my room!

I'm not fussy. Well, not too fussy. It does have to be drinkable. There is a micro-brewery in BC that makes some pretty tasty beers, but I am not sure if you will find it in Vancouver as they are kind of out in the middle of nowhere.

Okay, Thirsty Beaver Amber Ale it is, assuming I can find some!
 
My friend and TAM roommate is the defending champion from last year's TAM poker tournament, and he asked me to add his nickname to the list for TAM 8 poker:

I think you forgot something there....
 
Took my name back out. I've been spending too much money and not working much overtime. I need that money for booze....
 
Decided I had to play some cards while in Vegas.

Guess, I'll fill out table 1 here.

I just want a front row seat to the Hok-Hor smackdown.

Well, I might be up for that, but 1) I suck at poker. Haven't played for quite some time.
2) I'm not sure when I will be arriving at the Casino as I'll be driving from L.A. to Vegas.

When is the last chance to sign up though?

Oh, don't worry about that, we'll teach you everything you need to know. Besides which, you couldn't be worse than Hokulele!

We'll have a sign-up sheet somewhere around the TAM rooms on Thursday, but if there's spots left, we'll accept people as late as possible. The Poker Guy said we could run with as few as 21 people, and from what Mr. Ottle said, we'll most likely get that many from non-forum attendees, so we'll be running the tournament for sure.
 
I want in :)

You're all going down...

Somewhat at odds with your screen name, no? ;)

If you really want to play rough, you can join Horatius and me in the beverage-of-your-choice bounty.

Don't talk to him. He's ruining our children with his atheist math classes. I heard it from Laurie Higgins!
 
I think we'll have plenty of players. The problem is this overlaps with the reception, so people are not committing. But maybe there will be people ready to leave the reception in time to come on down.

Did they change the end time for the reception? It used to be 7pm, didn't it? That's what I based our start time on!

:mad:

I'm always up for a good side bet - especially alcohol related. I saw you guys discussing this, but did not realize it was open for all takers.

What exactly is the wager and the stakes?

The stake is a 6-pack of some local/interesting beer or other beverage. The way it works is as a bounty system, although we may have to change the rules slightly if a bunch of people want to play. Last year, it was between Horatius and me, with the person staying in the tournament the longest winning, and the extra 6-pack going to the person who knocked the loser out. So since I went out first, Horatius got the 6-pack of Maui beer I brought, and he gave his 6-pack to the person who knocked me out.

If you want to make it a three way bet, we can have the winner take all three 6-packs, and then give the two of his/her choice to the people who knocked out the competition, keeping the third one for him/herself. Of course, if I personally knock out both you and Horatius, I get to keep all three! If more people want to play, we can have the ultimate winner distribute the beer as the participants get knocked out, or else keep a list of who did what where.
