Re: Last minute Seattle gathering?

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Post-thanksgiving? I'm also only up for smoke-free places. Rob [/ QUOTE ] Tulalip holds a $90 buy in NL tourney at 11 am on Saturdays. Or at least the Saturdays in November from what I could see. What do y'all say? First place 3 weeks ago when I played was $2300 with ~80 players. I got down to the final 30, but was short stacked the entire tournament. Fun tournament though. [/ QUOTE ] How early do you need to be there to sign up? What is the structure? Last time I played a tourney there the starting chip stack was ridiculously low. [/ QUOTE ] There were about 20 people that showed up at 10:58 am. They all got in. I was kind of ticked about it, because I know I'm better in fields of 70 people or less. The blind levels are 20 minutes, for the first 2 hours (if I remember correctly). Starting stack of $5000. Blinds start at 25-50 and double from there. Playing as tight as I did, you will not be blinded out until a little after 3 hours in to the tournament if you don't play a hand (which I don't expect anyone here to do). In the smaller buy in tournaments I've played there, they had the same round times, but we started with half as many chips ($2500). However, after the first 2 hours in this tournament, I believe the blind levels go to 15 minutes.

You would have to pay me way more than 2.3K to play live tournament poker. [/ QUOTE ] Interesting. You make a better hourly rate than ~$350/hr? Maybe you have something against playing NL? Or possibly social anxiety? Just guesses. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

[/ QUOTE ] It's also fun to have everyone throw $10-20 in and give it to the guy who lasts the longest in the tourney. I've always had fun when 2+2 goes into the live tourneys together. I've found it quite a relaxing change from playing normal ringgames. b

Re: Last minute Seattle gathering?
[ QUOTE ]
Because the post that you just responded two suggested we gather and play a live poker tournament? [/ QUOTE ] Your response basically said that you don't like live poker at all. Whether ringgame or tourney. Especially since you specified tourneys as your #2 point which makes your #1 point more ringgame specific. So how does that apply to a 2+2 meeting? You'd rather have it online? b

Re: Last minute Seattle gathering?
I don't really dislike live poker, it's just that it can be slow. I do specifically dislike tournament poker, and it can be even more slow.
I'm up for a homegame, I'm not very much up for going to a Seattle casino and giving them rake if the point is just to meet people. If the only way a get together happens is at a casino, that's probably fine, but if it's as part of a tournament, that seems like a bad choice for any number of reasons.
