Royal Cup IV September 29th
I am pleased to announce that the 4th installment of the Royal Cup of Poker will take place September 29th 2007 at the same location that the last 2 Cups have been held at.
The tables will run #1 from the window to #8 which will be the table closest to the washrooms. Captains after we pick our lineups please ensure you players sit according to the seating chart we picked from. First person on the list will be the #1 spot and the dealer and have the seat in the middle of the table closest to the window. We will print out a few seating charts and have them on hand for players to reference.
Schedule
10:00 - 10:50 Registration. We will start at 11 this time
10:50 - 11:00 Rules. If you have questions before hand just ask.
Captains will pay me directly their teams entry fee. The full $400 amount at once please. I will be at Westside this weekend, The KW Pirana event Sunday and Bristol on Wednesday. So if you have collected the money before hand all the better.
Miranda will be collecting for the individual side pots. These are strictly optional but do add some fun to the day. The side pots are $2 each.
Our 50/50 Points draw is an event where you pull a players name out of a hat and if they are the days MVP you will split the pot with them. So the pot goes to the MVP and the person holding their card.
Also, each variation of poker that day will have a High Hand Jackpot.
Omaha
Stud
FL Holdem
NL Holdem
For all the SNGs you must show your hand to be eligible but a showdown does not need to occur. In the Hold em SNGs you must use your 2 hole cards to be eligible for the high hand jackpot.
So for $8 you can enter all the side pots.

- Cards are in the air at 11:00am sharp if players are not there they will be blinded out.

Rules of Stud If more then 8 at a table we will use the same dealng system as last event. Dealer doen'y actually get cards until the table is down to 8 players.
These will be the rules for the Stud SNGs
Antes are paid and then the dealer deals 2 cards down and one up per player
After the first three cards have been dealt, the player showing the lowest up card must make what is called a "bring-in" bet.
The bring-in bet, by the way, is the only significant time and place in poker where card suits come into play. The highest suit is spades, followed by hearts, diamonds, and clubs
After the action has been completed on the opening round, the dealer gives a face-up card to each player remaining in the game. The dealing will go in a tradition clockwise fashion. Unlike the first round, where the lowest hand was forced to start the action, in this second betting round, the highest hand on board has the option to start the betting; that is, the player showing the highest hand is called upon first to either bet or check.
On fifth street, you receive your third up card, and then there is a round of betting, again started by the highest hand on board. (This person may be different then the first bettor on 4th street).
Sixth street is virtually identical: an up card is dealt, the highest hand acts first.
The betting on seventh street is identical to sixth street, but the card dealt is the last card you will receive, and it is dealt face down.
There are 4 bets max per round unless heads up where the betting is unlimited.

I assume we'll be doing the same as last year for the picking? I can organize that again as it seems to work well, and then I'll bring the table sheets. Hopefully we can get 10 without much trouble, but will you be setting a cutoff date for teams to submit a roster?
YES YES and YES
Can Aimee still play, joe?
Once we start to see how many teams are in I'll draft up the picking order
Thank god someone else can have a chance to win the flips.
I might drive down just to do the flips...... LOL
We are all glad that you set this f**king thing up again, THANKS!
sal
Can you add a new group for RC 4 on the other forum? Apparently I don't actually have the ability to set that up, but I can moderate both the existing ones.
If any of the captains don't have the website pm me and I'll send you the link
Brad
Sal PM me or email me at pokerdro@hotmail.com if you are interested and have enough players?
Sandro
I have set it up and you have moderator rights as well.
This is just a reminder that this event is Nut Free.
You mean literally right?
Because I'd really like to be able to play
Mark
that is correct
Please remove DAN from all his tables and replace with GARRY.
Thanks.
AJ
EDIT: Deets filled. Tyvm.
Done. We need to replace Diddy on my team as well, but haven't got a replacement yet. Couldn't have a RC without me looking for a last minute player I guess lol
That has to happen every RC...I guess if I get sick at this one too then we will def have more than 1 thing in common
Go ROCKS GO!!!!!!!
missing in action, but rooting just the same
Milton Slim
A replacement for Diddy has been found. Only table change is that Watts will now be playing PLO on Diddy's table, and Diddy's replacement will be playing at SirDonk's stud table.
See you guys tomorrow
Oh god, it's not Daniel Negreanu is it?
Better. Beware.
