Re: Do most home tourneys take a small cut for food/bev costs?

I run a monthly tournament that is $20 +$5. Because the night starts at dinner time and when some guys are getting home from work, I provide a light dinner. We've done subs, pizzas, grilled...

Re: Anyone use the Home Poker Tourney.com Structure. need review.

I've been using it for about 6 tourneys now without any major complaints.

Like Tom said though, adding a 150/300 would be good to stretch it out a little bit. We use 2 decks with 20min blinds.

Re: Building Your Own Table

It looks like they are spaced halfway between each cupholder. I wonder to seperate each position?

I think I've also seen plans like this to get a table out of one or two sheets of ply.

Re: What is a reasonable \"fee\" for food, drink. etc?

Yea. Taking the money out of the pot doesn't feel right. I know, 6 in one - half dozen in another.

I'm going to up it to $5 a man and any money left over will get added onto the TOC in December.

Re: I can\'t see the final picture either

Very nice table! Love the idea of the lights behind the dice. I'm thinking of maybe using some EL wire in my next one.

Since this is now a thread about KEM's, I'm not hijacking a thread to much (hopefully). What do you guys think of the "new" versus the "old" KEM's?

I wasn't as impressed with them, from what I...

Re: comments and critiques on my chip label

Looks DAMN good. Love the color fade and think a color match for the different denom chips is a great idea, same with a simple "$5".
