You missed a couple of them.

For the record, the first one I knew that happened had 4 people.

KJS, Ed M, Ohkanda and me.

The last one was the wildest.

That was a fun day, even if you wouldn't jump ahead of 2737272232 names on the list in order to join our 3/6 game (which, btw, i think a total of one of us actually got called for).

That would be me, and of course when I came to claim the seat, GoT had already stolen it from me. /images/graemlins/mad.gif /images/graemlins/wink.gif

I would be in for a home game sometime, or another Muck gathering.

Seattle became much lamer after I moved. BTW, I pwned the last 2+2 Seattle gathering at after hours home game. Schaefer is my biotch.

[stabn]

because bholdr dropped the ball.

Any type of concensus on where people would want to play?
1) Downtown home game (if available at a posters house)
2) Muck
3) Tulalip
4) Parkers or another casino in that area

a) Su-Th
b) Fr-Sa

[-Skeme-]

If I'm invited, a house.

[B Dids]

I would prefer a home game. No need to pay rake if we're just trying to play with eachother.

Central location is good for people like me without a car (I'm pretty central myself, but lacking in space).

Weekends are much better for me.

[ThaSaltCracka]

So on thate note:

Anyone within say 5-7 minutes of downtown have space for a homegame? Chips/cards/beer can easily be brought if you don't have them.

Mercer Island would be perfect.

[bholdr]

Okay... i kinda forgot all about this post, as things got pretty damn busy for a couple weeks there, but now i'm thinking about the home game again.

If all goes well, i will be moving into a bigger, nicer apartment at the start of next month, and it'll actually have enough space to hold a home game for ten or so people. I'd love to host a 2+2 game, probably 3/6 mixed games (i play mostly stud and am not going invite a bunch of posters over to take my $$$ at LHE, my worst game by far). I'm thinkng LHE and NLHE, stud, stud/8, omaha/8 and PLO... maybe just do dealer-picks-a-round or something.

the times that would work for me are: between the 7th and 10th, evenings (i'd really prefer a thursday or friday night, sat or sun would be okay, but less optimal), and between the 14th and 17th. How's that sound to you all? like i said, i can handle probably 10 people in the studio that i think i'm moving to (it's a kick-ass apartment with a sunroom, etc). the game is conditional upon my making the move in time, so let's gauge the intrest level before i schedule anything... who would be intrested, available, and not-gonna-flake-out?

How about thursday the 7th as a potential date? (first choice- 2nd would be thurs the 14th). I will buy the beer if others bring some snacks or something like that. minors (over 18, please) would be welcome, but you'll have to put your booze in a cup and tell me it's apple juice or something. /images/graemlins/grin.gif (can't have any wildness- i am the building manager, and i have to maintain some level of decorum.)


well?

[B Dids]

Mercer Island is a horrible idea, as is taking a cab. Like I'm supposed to blow my winnings on a damn cab ride /images/graemlins/smile.gif.

People from Bellevue have cards, no need to centralize stuff for them.

And please don't be one of those folks who says "git er done".

[ThaSaltCracka]

I know MI is a horrible idea. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[ThaSaltCracka]

I would not be interested in a Thursday game, or a game with limits higher than .50/1.

[stabn]

I would perfer Friday or saturday over thursday but i can do thursday. A mixed game sounds great to me and will show of my prowess in getting all my $$ in with only one out in PLO and suckout out g00t.

Your place sounds fine as long as we aren't starting before like 7:30-8:00 on a weekday (f the bridges before that).

How about .50/1 stud with a $2 ante :0.

Or we could have a play money table.

[ThaSaltCracka]

wtf

[B Dids]

I would suggest 2/4 or lower. I'd hope nobody is coming to money and it would be nice to make it affordable for anybody who wants to play.

I'd love a limit game, because I suck at NL, especially live, but a rotation is probably more fun for everybody else.

[bholdr]

No offense salty, but .50/1 might as well be play money. i don't want an overly competitive game, but I don't want a donk-fest either. The reason i suggested 3/6 is because it's not enough to really affect most poster's rolls, but it's big enough to intrest the better/ bigger money players, as well as being high enough to encourage good play, and lends itself to an excellent stud structure (2/4 with a .50c ante is kinda crazy, and a .25c ante makes for a rock-fest).

i geuss 2/4 would be acceptable, and as far as the big bet games, .50/1 blinds would be fine with me. no stinkin' micro BS, though, sorry.

I live in the capitol hill neighborhood near downtown. i think my location would be a good fit, since i'm next to I-5 and I-90. It seems like a friday night is what most would prefer. that's fine with me- we'd start around 7-8pm and go as long as it takes. i am a night owl and can play for hours and hours, so i'm thinking daylight would make a good cutoff. maybe we could work in a $10 or $20 NL freezeout STT at some point... those should take about an hour-and-a-half, right?

what else?

[Sarge85]

Eburg.

Woot.

Sarge/images/graemlins/diamond.gif

[KJS]

I'd like to show. Mixed games is fine with me. 2nd choice is $100 NL with .5-1 blinds. I'd say the 14th is better because I am moving 7/1 as well, but could probably do the 7th.

KJS

[KJS]

I agree that is too small, but 3-6 mixed games might be a bit high for me, since I never play most of the games you mentioned.

I'll play most any limit for LHE, but playing much above micro on any of the other games would be like handing you my wallet, since I suck at them.

we can't do both? having a good time is, of course, the point, and if other posters feel that playing 3/6 or 2/4 will prevent that, then fk it, we'll play 1/2. NO .50/1, though.

Anyone that can make it is invited, unless you're under 18, a total k-hole, or a republican(j/k about that last one), up to a maximum of ten or so people. (it's a 600 sq ft studio, after all).



So: It looks loke A: people favor a friday, B: 1/2 is probably the consensus on a limit, maybe .25/50 or .50/1 as the blinds for the big bet games- maybe we'll bump 'em later in the evening if people want to. C: most people like holdem. I think any serious player should be at least proficient and comfortable in all the games. so, we'll do dealer's choice (dealer-picks-a-round). I pick TDL. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

This is still very much conditional on my getting a new place and having it ready in time. Right now I am leaning toward friday the 15th of july, perhaps a week later or earlier. you will know when i do.

sounds like fun, i'm pretty stoked. I'll make a new post closer to the game to set it up and see who can make it. sry for the poker content in OOT, but it's mainly ooters that i'd like to invite to the game, so there.

I was just kidding about the post count. So many of the Seattle folks have so many posts it can make a guy feel inadequate. /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

But I agree with you on the cliquey BS.

Anyway, this sounds like a great time. And I'm all for the fun instead of "serious" poker. Hell, I'll play Acey-Deucy. (Well, maybe not.)

Also, we have a great deal of beer left over from my wife's birthday party this past weekend. So you can count on me for a case of Alaskan if this thing comes together. (And bernie -- you can count on me bringing your CDs since there seems to be a law prohibiting us from being at the Muck at the same time.)

That all sounds good. I do have to work on getting better at mixed games, so I am psyched. Thanks for the offer to host.
