The SSF Poker Game... and boozeup!

    Here's the deal:

    Last year we ran a great tourney (very fun) with Suited Aces versus the Fitz with a % of the take going to the SSF.

    This year I want to do it again with Boards vs the Fitz. The idea will be to play a 50 euro game (no reg fee, thanks Luke!) with 20 going to the charity and the rest going to the prizepool.

    Date: Sunday the 11th. (NB!!)
    Time: 4pm. Last entries at 4:30.
    Place: The Fitzwilliam Card Club.

    Now this is a nice way to spend Saturday afternoon. So I suggest that we kick on into the night and have a Boards Poker Forum XMas Drinks night on the same day and make a day of it. We were talking about a drinks night recently and this seems like a perfect opportunity.


    So, if you can play please comment here, if you can deal and are willing to, please state so here too as I need dealers to keep the costs down.
    (dealer may play if they want btw!).

    ok, so what have I forgotten?
    DeV.

    That's a nice charity thing you do with the children's toys. I'll play it and donate any profit I make to it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,882 ✭✭✭Doc Farrell


    I'll play and deal if ur short a dealer.



    ....keeping any winnings though, u betcha......


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    I don't want people to feel underpressure at this event. 20-25% is going to SSF, what you do with the rest is your concern (though obviously, donations gratefully received on behalf of the charity!)

    Afterwards we'll all wander around to the bar (whats the name of the one with the nice smoking area near Tesco? McGraths?). Unless I can source some sponsorship for some beer or wine :)

    Sunday would have suited me much better aswell...my XMas outing is on the Saturday,paint baling and then beers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,696 ✭✭✭Hectorjelly


    I can make sunday as well, but not saturday.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,881 ✭✭✭bohsman

    The main problem with Sunday is the 30FO, hopefully we get 80 or so for the SSF but if 60 turn up expecting a 30FO there wont be room and it wouldnt be fair to turn them away when its advertised etc.

    Also Saturday means a booze up after


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 377 ✭✭biteme


    I'll deal for you if I'm free. Can't afford to be playing though. Tis too much for me a poor college student. Offers to stake me welcome:P

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,012 ✭✭✭kincsem


    I'll play if I remember. Would prefer Sunday but Saturday is ok too.

    got ya. np.

    sniffle.

    how bout the following saturday (17th)? i dont expect it to be moved to suit me but clashin with the vegas night big one is a point and a few can't make it already.

    do really want to play and drink with everyone though :(

    will leave it to majority.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,141 ✭✭✭ocallagh


    Sat or Sun is fine for me.. I take Oscars point about Sunday.. It makes more sense to do it Saturday for the reasons mentioned.

    I have my christmas work night out fri 9th.. so i'll be recovering at the table.... any takers for a pre-poker pint or two in larrys? I'll certainly need it..


  • Subscribers Posts: 32,864 ✭✭✭✭5starpool


    I can play then too unless crap happens.............

    Will we just get assigned to either Boards or the Fitz team depending on when we turn up, or on which team needs numbers or is it a choice?

    And I think you are referring to Maguires Tom with the nice smoking area near Tesco.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,314 ✭✭✭ionapaul


    I'm there, Fred Astaire...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,666 ✭✭✭Imposter


    Oohhh i'm in Dublin this weekend! I can play on the Sunday but am busy on the Saturday. Booze up is fine with me too once I can make the airport by Monday afternoon :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,639 ✭✭✭Iago


    I'm around for poker and beers, saturday or sunday suits

    [size=-12]and possibly coke and hookers too in keeping with tradition[/size]


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 9,053 Mod ✭✭✭✭mewso


    Work Christmas party on the 10th unfortunately.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,924 ✭✭✭Fatboydim


    I shall come down for it - Can I bring Mrs Dim?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,537 ✭✭✭Ste05


    Think I might pop along to this too assuming nothing comes up in the mean time, It'd be nice to put some faces to the names. Anyone going that will be on the boards team, cos it looks like it's just the regular Fitzers so far....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 275 ✭✭Spiritus


    Ok.

    of course u can Len, it's ur money. most of the boardsters won't be playing as it's over 18 in the casino. :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,124 ✭✭✭NickyOD


    Depending on how things go for me over the next week or so I hope to be there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,881 ✭✭✭bohsman


    Unless there are any more changes this has been changed to Sunday at 4 with a 50 euro buyin (30+20)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,600 ✭✭✭roryc


    Yeh that sounds better

    It's a shame. Sunday is not a good day for drinking. :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,600 ✭✭✭roryc


    Any day that ends in Y is good for drinkin......

    Ok so it's now on a Sunday... according to bohsman

    Unless there are any more changes this has been changed to Sunday at 4 with a 50 euro buyin (30+20)

    But can we have confirmation? Like what was wrong with 3 [indeed what was wrong with Sat] And is the buy in 100 as Dev says or 30 +20

    In fact can't we have one on Sat and one on Sun ?:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,881 ✭✭✭bohsman


    A lot of people here werent able to make Saturday. Its been reduced to 50 as a lot of people will turn up for the 30FO and may still pay 50. Also the time has changed to 4 for the same reason


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    Yup, its a 30+20 game now on Sunday as it clearly worked better for the majority and should increase the take for the charity too.

    DeV.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,362 ✭✭✭Hitman Actual


    Pity, Saturday was fine for me, but Sunday is out (I think).

    It was a great game last year, the standard was very high. Definately as good/better than any of the €100+ games in the Fitz. There was even some dude in a dress, if I'm not mistaken...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,838 ✭✭✭DapperGent


    I'm gonna have to do some creative shift swapping to make it but I shall do my best.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,083 ✭✭✭RoundTower


    I'll play it or put somebody in, help a good cause.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,922 ✭✭✭Dave


    Seems like a good idea. I'd probably have been playing the 30 anyway, so and extra 20 to charity is the least I could do.


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    thanks guys, sorry about the screwing about but I'm mad busy here with SSF and a few other Real Life[tm] things so I rushed the thought process :)
    Looking forward to putting some faces to names finally!


    DeV.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,835 ✭✭✭karlh


    thanks a million for changing to Sun.

    oh boy oh boy! :)

    see ya'll there.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,506 ✭✭✭Shortstack


    Bollix, I could play the Saturday but am running a charity tournament in Coote Hill on the Sunday. Boo hiss. Change it back :mad:

    is it too late to put my name in the mix?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,639 ✭✭✭Iago


    DeV,

    Is the plan just to turn up and then get assigned to a team like last year or are you making a list and checking it twice?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,835 ✭✭✭karlh


    i say its fitz vs boards vs FOS!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,314 ✭✭✭ionapaul

    I'm with boards, unless there is a FOS team, then I'm on it and WE WIN THE UNIVERSE

    The more the merrier


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    There will be open invite posters going up in the Fitz tonight. Everyone is invited and provided we get enough people we'll play a boards vs the Fitz (and through FOS in there too if they want to be completely outnumbered! :) )

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,450 ✭✭✭califano


    I can do up Boards and Fitz stickers for players to wear to show their allegiance if needed?. pm me if need be

    Good idea! :)

    I was checking out our stationery stock at lunchtime today for A4 label sheets. You seem more organised.

    Go ahead and do boards names first. Just ignore the Fitz.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,897 ✭✭✭BigDragon


    O! O! O! O! Do I wear my Dragon T-shirt or my Antesup.com (sponsored player-like) T-shirt?

    Decisions, decisions.:p
