I can't play this one because of a conflict but its always a great game and huge return on money.. Last was 120 players so 12,000 Prize pool over 15 players. 1st normally gets around $3500

compuease

Yep, I've heard it is pretty bingo though. My kinda game, the only way I can compete, just push and pray..

Any idea on the actual structure?

MrCaspan

no sorry

How do you become a member. I see a link to register for dinner for $12. Does that get me into the tourney oris there another link?

Yes that's correct you pay for dinner as the entry

I got the invite I think because Tim vouched for me and I was then contacted by Nigel. lol, my primary purpose is not necessarily the poker it's to meet contacts to perhaps expand our business west. We don't want to go more east as that f'in traffic is unbearable. I was just all the way in Vaughan yesterday with one of our bigger clients and coming back was brutal.

Not sure if you are aware of software called ConnectWise Steve but we have invested in it fairly heavily to allow us to more efficiently manage all of our clients remotely both from predictive and reactive directions. (RMM Remote Monitoring and Management). We used to use Solarwinds but it just didn't do it for us... Several of our guys have been spending days doing the training. Not me, I'm too old to learn but I see what it can do and it's something that any I/T company ho wants to keep up has to get involved...

if you signed up for the dinner then no need to be a member I guess! It was originally for technology people in the area to network etc... maybe they have opened it up to the public. Paying for your $12 meal reserves your spot and then you pay at the door for entry. You will then be assigned a table and can go eat. Dedicated dealer at each table that also plays

Damn! Wanted to go but the website has it listed as sold out. :(

Who else is registered besides me and comp?

kwmatt

Me, and a couple of others I know.

It is pretty much Bingo except for the summer one which is a deep stack. Blinds every 15 min with volunteer dealers. The players take turns shuffling cards so dealing is fairly quick at least. You pay in advance for food, then line up for the $100 buy in when you arrive. I usually don’t play it any more because the structure is too fast. They want to finish before midnight. And usually 8 or more decide to chop.

It is still a fun night though...but yes you need the cards at the right times. But there are the same people floating around the top ten. It isn't a complete bingo fest.

compuease

Encouraged or discouraged to give out business cards?
