    X Get a chair at the Table! HCW Texas Hold 'em Poker - Ready to do a practice round? Please read!

    Ok, here's the other game I promised would be posted today.

    We're going to have a good old fashioned poker night next Friday, October 5th. If you've ever seen the scene in Mr. Mom where they are playing coupon poker, that's what we're going to do.

    If you can commit to playing, and keeping a window of time open on Friday night between 5-8PM pac time, we'll have a winner-take-all poker tournament.

    I'd like to limit this to tables of 5, and I'll take signups until October 4th.

    On the 5th, you'll all be dealt the first round of cards and I'll PM you what your cards are. There will be a thread for each table to play in, where I'll deal in the remaining cards, and you all can play, ante, and fold. We'll play until there's a clear winner at each table. The winner of each table will receive coupons from the other players. In each round, I'll PM you more cards for the new shuffle through.

    Here's the first part of the rules:

    BUY IN for the play: You need to have $200 in face value of coupons to buy in. So, if the coupon you're playing with is a BoGo coupon worth $2.99, that counts as $2.99 of your buying.

    When your table thread is open, please go in and introduce yourself to the other players. List out what coupons you're bringing to the table .and their exp dates in your intro

    Some caveats on acceptable coupons....

    * Must have at least a 2-week expiration window
    * No cleaner, pet, baby, make-up, or haircolor coupons
    * Since coupons are face value only, if they're "hot" like a cereal peelie, it's still only worth what it's worth.
    * If you come in and your coupons are a little over $200 because of the odd numbers, don't worry about it, but please do come in with the minimum.


    Once your table has a winner, please put the coupons out right away in Saturday's mail.

    In each table's thread, the rules for actual play the night of the game will be posted in my intro thread to each table.

    Again, please be sure you have the time to commit to be online to play. In the event a table isn't full, we'll bounce you over to another table...Texas Hold'em has room for 8, so we'll be ok if we plan for tables of 5.

    If you have any questions, feel free to post them. Since this is the first time we've ever tried to do something like this, bear with me on working out the kinks.

    If you want to play, please post in this thread!

    Thanks - and I hope we have some great fun next weekend!!!

    Ok, you can include BTFE since they are .10c each. And coke codes can work too - let's decide a value for them though, and I'm terrible about judging them. Rebate forms can be used to, for the face value.

    It's Texas Hold'em, and we'll be playing through the site, not through any kind of yahoo or anything.
