More than that I would say. Maybe 50 name 2+2ers you'd recocnize.

A bunch of us went to the bellagio buffet, others went out on the town. Many of us played together-sometimes serious, sometimes magoolike. Some of us went out to eat at other locations. We didn't really talk much strategy except for when Joe tall, nate tha great, nlsoldier, and schneids were sweating me at the end of the tourney and I asked them what hands they thought I should go all in with.

I'd be up for meeting up in vegas...keep me updated.

I'm proposing a much smaller group, with planned sessions, possibly guest speakers, etc. with a narrowed focus. Preparations would include, as an example, a sharing of hand histories between various invitees. Ideas coming off the top of my head are things like: A critical analysis of 3 betting preflop from the Big Blind -- moderated by Peter Rus; the play of small pocket pairs -- moderated by Nate tha Great; Checking the turn - moderated by Schneids; The most +EV use of technology in online poker - moderated by YoureToast.

Tentatively, I'm thinking this should take place in Tunica, during the World Poker Open...We could reserve a conference room, any guest speakers we'd want would be there, etc. This would be a serious conference, with lots of preparation by all invitees, but the goal would be to come out of it a better player -- not to mention with a few new friends -- and likely a bigger bankroll from the side games during the Open.

Re: Proposed: 2+2 MIddle Limit Summit
 

I like the idea except I'd rather it be done on IRC.

Re: Proposed: 2+2 MIddle Limit Summit
 

I would definately be up for a summit meeting in Vegas. It would have to be a large enough venue so that we could "spread out" a little, if you know what I mean. Vegas would be better than Tunica, although I love Tunica (mmmmmmm . . .Horseshoe bufett).

How bout this winter in Vegas? Say around a decent-sized tournament?

"Date: TBD"

august or september.

"Location: TBD (but likely a location that caters to poker players)"

commerce of vegass.

Re: Proposed: 2+2 MIddle Limit Summit
 

what's that?

Commerce could be ok.

Though I'm not really a winning player (yet) so that would leave me out. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Though we could have a meeting of losing 2+2ers.... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Since I have never beaten you in one hand online, and have never been with you at a table where you have left with less than you started, I would have to disagree with this assertion.

Making this an exclusive group is basically shitty.

Re: Proposed: 2+2 MIddle Limit Summit
 

As someone who used to speak and is now again speaking on a conference circuit regularly for a white collar job, I can say that the discussion on the forum is like a million times better already than a typical summit/conference/lecture series.

OK then -- why not invite the Small Stakes group too; how bout the the Intenet forum; better yet, why would it be fair not to invite rec.gambling.poker.
Ridiculous.

not to be an ass, but are you sure you'd qualify for this group? that's part of the problem with having it, btw. I much prefer what happened at magoofest and the like to what you're planning.

Re: Proposed: 2+2 MIddle Limit Summit
 

I'll definitley be there. Could someone wire transfer me some money through NetTeller so that I can make travel arrangements. I'll be traveling from NJ.

Thanks a bunch.

Ohh and yes I am a winning player.
