  • any cash games after the tournament? silent auctions?
  • well yes as said, we can't officially do cash games, but we do have great tables and dealers on hand to help move the action forward.

    we do certainly have wicked prizes.....leafs, raptors tickets, trip for two to nyc, blackberry, cell phones, mark messier signed jerseys etc. etc.

    and it's for a really great cause and will be some really good poker
  • I played at a charity event this year for United Way, $100 at the Board of Trade. First one out by the third hand. Lesson learned: Never try bluffing against a player who doesn't know what a blind is and that they should fold a week ace :(
  • I know those tournaments...lol..low pair on the board is golden to some!!

    You can't bluff stupid.
