The amount depends on how many players are in the tournament.

Level 1 = $25 - $50
Level 2 = $50 - $100

Usually a no limit cash game starts once enough players are eliminated from the Tournament

  • Only 10 seats left.
    Post here or PM me if you want in
  • I'm in! Already signed up on meetup... Want the chance to finally face the famous Buddy heads up! Get outta the way everyone else..... :)
  • I think they used Buddy as a poker consultant for the Full Tilt Ivey Commercial where he says "some people say my stare can be intimidating." I have felt that way before playing Buddy :)

    Should be a good time :)
  • I've stared Buddy down a couple of times. He's nothing ;)

    Steve, I can't confirm yet, but if there is a seat still open, and you don't mind a tentative reservation, you can put me down. I'll confirm by Thursday, Friday AM at latest.
  • Same here Steve, I think I should be able to make it but won't know for sure til Thursday.
  • NP STR82ACE and Voodoo I will hold a seat for you until Friday AM
  • me too please
  • Wow, this is looking to be a real experienced field... Methinks, for someone like myself, the chances of cashing in this (30 entrants) is less that cashing in the Main Event with 8000 odd entrants..
  • Sorry my wife just took a shift on Sat so I am out.

    Right now there is 40 players sorry wes but unless Voodoo or someone else backs out I do not have room but you are first Wes if someone backs out.

    Voodoo has not said he is 100% yet

    Sounds good. Keep me in the loop...I'm still not 100%
  • Wes you are in if you can make it. I have a seat for you please confirm yes or no

    Thx, oh and blackmagics says he can drive you so you may want to PM him
  • Voodoo, just contacted me, cuz he can't get onto pokerforum where he is. He can't make the tournament tomorrow but may come by 3 or so for the cash game...
    The problem is he doesnt have a ride from Newmarket since his GF has his car (imagine that coming between him and poker), I must be old... No girl is worth it.... well....
    In any case he is likely out and says to fill his spot if you can but if not I may pick him up in the am to get there in time... He has my cell...
  • Thanks Jeff.

    Ok so that leaves me with 1 seat open if Wes decides to come, if he can't make it then I will have 2 seats open

    anyone else want in?
  • By the way I have Wes's cell if we need to contact him. I may also be able to persuade Voodoo to let me pick him up in the AM... Will certainly be on here in the morning checking on status... Jeff..
