Friday March 18 in Brampton
Okay, the next home game at my place will be Friday March 18 starting at 7:30pm in Brampton. No limit Holdem.
Buyins are $20 each round, hopefully we can get at least 2 rounds in before it gets too late. To help, instead of increasing the blinds when someone busts out, we will put a time on the blinds. Starting at 1/2 and increasing every 20mins.
Again, this is meant to be a friendly game to get to meet others and have some fun, and practise. All levels of play are welcome, but those who are too serious....well, it is meant to be fun, remember?
If you're interested, still have a few seats open. Those first to commit will have the seat waiting for them. If you commit, please plan on playing. Nothing is more discouraging than thinking you have a table full and end up turning others away, only to find out two or three didn't make it out. :mad:
PM me here or send me an email. I will forward the house rules to you and the rest of the details.

Great to see some new faces at the game too. I think I was the only one who didn't take any kind of pot $$ at all, everyone else I think did. Man, I got to find the holes in my game!!! Since I started this little home game of mine, I have yet to get into the money. Oh well, back to the books I guess.
Mario, Justin, Dave, Dennis, and Mario's bud (sorry, man, your name is escapes me), thanks for coming out guys. It was a heck of a night wasn't it? First game went up to 32/16 blinds, and the second game only as far as 8/4!!! Great bets, bad beats,....it was all there last night wasn't it?? Dave certainly had his share of bad beats early in the second game, but he did okay overall on the night.
Mario, let me know what's happening with your regular game. Post me the details, I will try to make it out.
Again, thanks for coming out guys. Had a good time. I will post you all on next's months game in the next couple of weeks.

I would love to hear that commintary sometime. As far as your play goes. A simplw rule I learned early on was tight aggression. That means (as it was explained to me) when you feel strong, or are in a strong position at that tableie on the button, one of the blinds, etc. make what you would consider a bold play, see how others respond. Mario on a number of occassions went with bets of 8 then 12 then 16. I called them all with out re-raising to see how many times he would fire into the pot. Then the next time I tried him he started at 12 I re-raised to 20 to see what he would do. On both occassions I felt information was important and I could afford to lose the chips. hope this helps.
I need help with heads up play and can't seem to find people to talk about it. Twice I have asked on this board and no replys.

Truth be told, I don't think I was ever in a positive chip position all night. Maybe once, but that was about it. Cards weren't laying right for me. Still, I know the game better than that and I know I have to play more aggressively to defend whatever cards I have. Just could't get the swing right I guess. As far as Heads Up action....Well, I guess I have to make it that far first, won't I?
I just might do somthing up about the similarities on poker and fishing (particularily fly fishing) and submit it to all_aces for the board. Might be good for a laugh or two.
Great Game AJ!
