Count the fish out of water in. Incidentally, any resumes from prospective players looking to join the team. Please PM all relevant documents to myself as I will be heading the selection committee.
Don't forget the INTENSE flipament competition that starts early and continues all night long! Plus Liars Dice Poker, a game I tried to watch and STILL don't get.
I might have an opening on my team if you're interested...will most likely know by the weekend.
The Royal Cup of Poker VI will take place Nov 1st 2008 at the same location as the last 4 Cups
The Royal Cup is a team event, consisting of 8 players, in which each member of your team plays 3 different SNG's as well as one heads up NL match. Points are received based on finishing position in the SNG's and are accumulated between all your team members. The team with the highest point value at the end of the event are declared the champions. The point system is at the bottom of this thread for reference.
The schedule/blind structure will not change from what is posted below. Please arrive as early as possible
Schedule
10:00 - 10:30 Registration.
10:30-10:45 Rules. If you have questions before hand just ask.
CARDS FLY AT 10:45 Sharp.
Captains will pay me directly their teams entry fee. The full $400 amount at once please.
Qtjen 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.
10:45 - 1:45 Omaha/Stud
- Cards are in the air at 10:45am sharp if players are not there they will be blinded out.

Basic Rules of Omaha are the same as Hold em with the exception of each player being dealt 4 pocket cards and when the showdown occurs the best hand must use 2 pocket cards and 3 community cards.
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.
All rounds of betting will be capped to four bets unless heads up where the betting is unlimited
5:00 to 6:00 Dinner
6:00 to 9:00 NL Hold em
NL will start at 6:00 sharp. Some FL games in the past limited the Dinner break for some. Have your teams pick something up for you if you are still in a battle.
