Sat, Apr 30, take on Dave Scharf and Team Canuck
I know Dave has mentioned this tournament a couple of times already, but I think it's worth announcing it in its own thread too. :cool:
The full details are found here:

Dave Scharf & Team Canuck (sans All_Aces unfortunately) will be holding a $10 + $1 tournament this Saturday (Apr 30) at 9:00pm Eastern on Paradise Poker.
Paradise Poker will add money to the prize pool in two different ways.
1. They will place a $50 bounty on each Team Canuck member.
2. They will add $10 to the prize pool for every player entered.
This is pretty awesome of Paradise I think, and of course, it's very cool that Team Canuck has orgnaized such an event.

I asked my friend to change his wedding date, and he refused.Â
How about a compromise? Keep it the same day, but get an early start so it wraps up at around 6 or 7.
It's only reasonable. After all, you're supposed to be their so called "friend", right?

Dinner, speaches, toasts, all boring, play cards on the laptop, get a nice pile of chips and then just blind off once the "real party" starts.
And... like me... sometimes I play better when I am out of the room.
Oddly enough, this is a +EV move for the tournament as a whole, and in fact all_aces could even charge a premium for doing this.
Assume 100 players. Each player could pay all_aces $0.20 to enter the tourney (and post & fold). This is a +EV bet for the avearge player ($0.20 to win an expected $0.50), and all_aces walks away with a cool $9 profit, almost enough to buy two whole speciality coffees from Starbucks. Smooth!
Of course, this amounts to nothing more than taking advantage of Paradise for adding money to the prize pool in the form of all_aces' bounty. Since they are already being very generous with the added money, this plan would seem to be killing the goose that was laying the golden eggs.
Why is such a bizzare strategy applicable here? Because the bounty on a player is much larger than his buy-in. Typical bounties are amounts which are a small portion of the buy-in.
Okay, let's go with that. Ummm... can you go out of the room if you're involved in a hand with me please?

Let me know by return forum post or email me before Friday as that's when I'll probably set up the account.
If you don't think Paradise will be ticked off at this, I will gladly do so. Consider my $10 a gift to the prize pool. It will be interesting to see how many players enter the pot when I'm finally all-in...
Neither myself nor Team Canuck are affiliates. But, Paradise is very good to us and is the exclusive sponsor of my site. So, it looks good if you click on a Paradise banner on my site and sign up that way. I don't gain directly, but I gain in the PR value.
If I am in a hand against Dave and I appear to be taking a long time, I am certainly not going through the forum looking for posts made by Dave on how he handled certain situations.
I am really looking forward to this. I hope I am at your table Dave, or hopefully All_Aces posting and folding, but I would prefer an actual challenge. Or a butt kicking as it may be.
TROUT SEASON OPENER!!!!!! :fish:
Sorry, guys, I've been playing poker all winter...I need to feel a different kind of exhileration and frustration. Next time.
This is a horrible idea.
Make it daily.

I will mention it to him. Ralph is, however, a much more private person than I am.

Food for thought.
You are saying Paradise is doubling the prize pool. I suppose they will do that once the registration is closed?
If it's becomming a monthly event, will Paradise double the prize pool and pay a bounty for every team canuck member busted out every month?
Ok, maybe, I'm asking to much... :fish:
Oh yeah... I will send the winner a Team Canuck Poker hat and T-shirt.
Cheers

Can't wait for the tourney. Great idea, Dave. Thanks for taking one for the team All_Aces!
