TAM 8 Poker - Sign up thread!

[Horatius]

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?

We've been doing 6-packs of beer.

This is an evolution of previous years. There were a lot more people at TAM 5 who brought bounties - knock them out, and you got their bounty. This seemed to wane at TAM 6, but for TAM 7, Hokulele and I got into it as a personal grudge match thing, after she disparaged my Awzum Poker Skillz.

If others were inclined to join us, we'd certainly be willing to drink your beer...

And it doesn't have to be beer, either. The first year, I brought a wood bowl I had turned on my lathe, and the year after that, a NWO Kitty mug.

Fixed that. I'll see what I can get on the plane; given I brag about our local IPA that'll be what I'll try and bring down!

I will see what I can bring as a bounty. I don't know much about local beers (either here in IN or my previous home LV)

I will check out a neighborhood liquor store, see if they can recommend somehting good and local here to Indy. (It will be probably be corn beer or something).

Talked to Joe at the Poker Room today, everything is set up!

I'm in. I have a ticket to the Tomsoni show at 9:00, however if past performance is an indicator I will be out of the tournament by then

I want in. What format is it? Texas Hold 'em? I just want to make sure I've practiced a bit with whatever format we're using

Yes, Texas Holdem. Beer bet knockout bounties optional, but encouraged!

I couldn't find the Tasty Beaver beer here in Vancouver, but I did get a local brew called "Red Rider", or some such. They have a couple of types, and I went for the lager. Had one that a buddy bought the other night, and it seemed drinkable.

And the cans are pretty. Hot Chick on Retro Bicycle.

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!

It ends at 8, according to the schedule.

I'll be sick of everyone by then, so I'll be ready to totally thrash you all at the tables.

I'm already sick of everyone, and I'm not even there yet.
