"Casual Friday" at Bristol Street (Waterloo)
It's been a while since I've hosted a casual night of poker, so grab your beer, grab your chips and grab your five dollar bills and head on over to my place for a Casual Friday at Bristol Street.
On tap for the night are an endless** supply of low buy-in MTT's, STT's and ring games. While most games will be of the NLHE variety, we always seem to play one classic variant, so at some point in the evening, we'll break into a tournament of "Triple-Draw Lowball", "Razz", "Pinapple" or something similar. (Requests taken!)
Buy-ins for most of the games will be in the $5-$10 range, and we'll start off with one big freeze-out for those that show up on time.
The fun begins at 8pm this Friday (the 23rd) and I'll post more details as they're asked!
Hope to see you out! (If you could reply to this to give me a rough idea of numbers, that'd be fabulous!)
** Where endless = a number probably greater than 3.

If anyone was actually planning on having a real tournament on Friday, I don't mind postponing this.
See you on Friday, Rob!!

I'm looking forward to the Triple Draw or Razz etc game. It'll be fun to mix it up a bit.
My SO is out of town this weekend, so I was going to stay home and play online. I'd rather play with real people.

$5 No-Limit Hold'em Scratch-n-Win Bounty Hunt!!
Players get 1,500 chips for their buy-in and their "Bounty Hunt" token is one of the Texas Hold'em scratch and win tickets. If you bust a player out you recieve (and obviously can use) their scratch and win ticket. So, bust a player out at Bristol Street and you could win a trip to the WPT event of your choice!!!
I'll buy a few extra tickets for those that won't be reading this message in time.
After that we'll break into side games and tournaments. Once enough interest is shown, the alternate tournament we'll break into for the evening is a $5 2-7 Lowball tournament. Summary of the game is as follows..
- Blinds are posted and players get a 5-card hand. Betting occurs as in NHLE.
- Players still in the hand may replace 0 to 5 cards.
- A second round of betting occurs.
- The player with the worst convential poker hand wins!
The fiddly rules are...
- The best (ie. worst) hand is "75432" (not of the same suit) as flushes and straights count against you.
- Aces are always high, so "5432A" is not a straight, but Ace-high with a five kicker.
- You're not allowed to draw 5 cards in a row. You get your 5th card once everyone is dealt their draws. (Wierd rule, but there it is!)
- Award to the wierdest rule goes to: If the dealer accidentally exposes a dealt card, it is immediately replaced unless it's a 2,3,4,5 or 7 (no 6), in which you get to keep it.
That's about it! See you at 8! BYOB, BYOS!
And hey, maybe someone will win a WPT seat or a boatload of cash.
See ya soon everybody!!

Looks like I should brush up on my triple draw game. See you tonight!
If you could send off an email with the address that would be great.

Very cool idea for the "scratch ticket bounty".... however, I find it ironic that you're supporting government lottery tickets... the very institution that contributed to the "crackdown" that cancelled some little event you were planning!!
Damn... I wish I lived closer....
Thanks for a great Friday and Saturday of poker.
The lowball was a blast.
Dave
Andrew - I haven't seen a beating like that since Rodney King - I hope you're recovering ok
To top it all off, I came home and won $11 in scratch-and-win prizes.
No trip to the WPT though...

Holy Crap!! How many tickets did you win on? I've bought at least 10 of those stupid things and havn't won yet.
I had 6 of them, but only the first one I scratched paid off.
