Thread: TSP Poker Club

this is one of my favorite pre-poker warm up songs.

Don't really have a 'favorite,' but currently leaning back to this, while sipping vodka, as the game begins:

Well, by replay, I mean an actual animated video simulation of the game itself. Very neat.

It IS all in good fun, which is why I normally don't rib sensitive, immature, narcissistic, egotistical, controlling, or bullying-type folks. However, I do have limits on how much child's play I can engage in, as we all do; and as such--do make exceptions as I have illustrated a few times in the recent and distant past.

But not to worry, I will remain on the square.

Also, if you are new to poker, I'll go easy on you for as long as you need me to. :P

I would hope that we can all learn a little something from each other: poker-wise or otherwise.

EDIT: Luck plays a big factor in card games. On any given Sunday, anyone can be the winner...of play money. It's really not that serious folks.

(well, actually they were gata, cue, kuz, and dog's chips, but they're mine now).

we have a new member which brings the club up to 11 folks, although no more than 6 have sat down together at the same time. but i think we might see some more hands at the table this sunday sunday sunday. don't be shy now.

You know Burro. I feel exactly the same way. And when I told the bailiff that exact thing, she just pointed me to this picture of Sheriff Joe Arpaio, our patron saint.

burro needs more cookies

Stacking chips in a public room

i like cookies.

i like cookies made by a nice gal in a tank top sans bra following my grandma's secret sugar cookie recipe.

but there are not too many girls who like to do that anymore.

so i make do with chips ahoy and coor's light.

life is not so bad.

am i being unreasonable? is that too much to ask?

here is an update on how the tsp poker club has gone so far: we have played two regularly scheduled sunday night tournaments, the results of which count for 2016 season points. 6 folks played the first one and 7 people played the second one. if there are 6 or more players then the top 3 finishers 'make the money' or 'cash' and get a share of the pot. at these participation numbers, only the top two finishers earn season points. also the software counts 'knockouts' or the number of people you bust out, and if you win you get credited for your own knockout in the tally. so without further adieu...

kuz: 1st place overall, finished 2nd in the first game and finished 1st in the second game (cashed in both games, earned points in both games, and 4 knockouts in the second game).

stu: 2nd place overall, finished 1st in the first game and finished 3rd in the second game (cashed in both games, earned points in the first game only, and 6 knockouts in the first game).
Attachment 37021

gat: 3rd place overall, did not place in the first game and finished 2nd in the second game (cashed in the second game, earned points in the second game, and 3 knockouts in the second game).
Attachment 37022

cue, fog, dog, and win: tied for 4th place overall, no points or knockouts in either game, but cue did cash third place in the first game, win only played in the second game not the first, and the rest played in both games.

att, met, daz, and cle have not yet played any games.

so that is where we are at. there is a another regularly scheduled sunday night season tourney scheduled for feb 14. any tsptalker who is interested can join and play, just pm me for the details.

we have played other games, both tourneys and ring tables, the ring games are always open and you can sit down whenever you like but other club members need to be online if you expect anyone else to sit with you so you can use this thread as notification the you are on and want to play a ring game. also if enough people are on at the same time and want to play an impromptu tourney for 'fun' not season points then i will schedule it on demand.

good luck at the tables.

I won't be there this coming weekend, as I'll be in an airport/on a plane. I wish everyone good luck in keeping Burro from regaining the lead. Cougar, don't let me down!
