Ryder Cup - Milton / Oakville
in Poker Games
Well, since we don't have a thread I figured I'd post one up.
I see the Compuease is the captian, and I want in
At least this thread will give us an idea of who's playing etc.
Let us know.

P.S. I like the name"Milton Rocks" lol.. It is an accusation I wear proudly!
I know there are two to three groups from Milton that regularly attend those guys games and getting us down to a team of 6 would be challenging.
What I suggest, depending on the number of people interested, I would host a game to see who would represent Milton.
This would be a fun way to get to know everyone in the area and possibly start having more local games.
Let me know if seems like a good idea.
I've played in quite a few West Side events so you guys may know me to see me. I also know of a few others who may consider themselves worthy to represent Milton in an event like this. Let me know where to sign up, I'm sure there's a good chance of a few spin off games.
Cheers, Mutt.
Points to ponder:
Dates from Larry; We need to get Training Camp in Vegas booked
Interested Parties: PSI, Ionstorm, pkrfce9, Blondefish, and Mutlee- what are their strengths?
need to have all aspects of the Tourney covered
My vote (for what it's worth) pkrfce9 (s)he did bring a great name to the table "Milton Rocks"
Could (s)he borrow that off the shoulder one of yours, You know the one that brings out the color in your eyes
Enjoyed playing at the same table with your son and you
Dave
To answer ddmilcan's question about strengths, I play mostly holdem and would be willing to learn Omaha and other games as long as the stakes are within reason.
But my real strength......I'm a really good folder !!
Cheers, Mutt.
Rumor has it many of the Milton Contingent will be wearing masks!
Will check with Captain Jeff for clarification,
I think we are still working on the Secret Handshake, But will have a team for Sure
Ok, here's what you have all been waiting for, the Team list for the mighty "Milton Rocks". Secret Handshake to be kept "In the Dark"
1 / Behind the mask 1
2 / Behind the mask 2
3 / Behind the mask 3
4 / Behind the mask 4
5 / Behind the mask 5
6 / Behind the mask 6
7 / Behind the mask 7
8 / Behind the mask 8
Is there going to be a qualification game for Team Milton? Compuease had mentioned a possible venue, and PSI or Velvet Alley may be willing to host a game if necessary. Another alternative is to meet and play at The Post Office or Hot Rods in Milton
Quote from pokerdro.....
I have read through all the threads and have decided to go with the following. This takes in to consideration a bunch of different suggestions from all. We have a venue that can accommodate more people then first thought. But still in an effort to keep this medium sized and a one day event here is the line up.
There will be 10 teams consisting of 8 players per team. $400 Entry fee per team. Totaling $4000. This works out to $50 per player.
Payouts TBD
This event is rake free.
Each team must have their money in by Feb. 1/06. We will start a waiting list for alternate teams and they will be bumped into the event if money is not received by Feb. 1/06. This is in an effort to ensure we have no late drop outs. Full team lineups will be due Feb. 11/06.
If anyone would like to submit an alternate team please PM me and I will add you to the list.
A full day of poker would consist of
1) 8 - 10 man NL Hold em SNGs with one player from each team competing at each table.
2) 8 - 10 man Fixed Limit Hold em SNGs with one player from each team competing at each table.
3) 5 - 8 man Fixed Limit Stud SNGs.
4) 4 - 10 man Pot Limit Omaha SNGs with one players from each team competing at each table.
5) Finally 40 Head Up NL tournaments to finish the competition.
Each team member must play in the Fixed Hold em, NL Hold em and one of the Stud or Omaha SNGs. Also everyone must represent their team in a heads up battle.
We will be starting with the Stud and Omaha games first then the fixed limit SNGs then go to the NL and Heads Up to complete the day.
Again this would make for a good 12 hour session of poker.
The Team with the most points will be crowned the True Poker Capital.
If there is a tie for any position a tie breaker Heads Up game will be played.
Now the geographic locations for the teams would be as follows
Toronto
Kitchener 1
Kitchener 2
Waterloo 1
Waterloo 2
Guelph including Fergus/Rockwood and surrounding area
Cambridge
Milton/Oakville
London
Toronto 2 << The venue will be submitting a team for this event.
The date will be Feb. 18/06 Doors will open at 11:00 with the first round of SNGs starting at 12:00. The location will be the west side of Toronto. I will be going to take a look at it this week and then forward the address to the team captains.
Sponsorship thus far is looking good and I am still in talks with a couple online sites about adding to the prize pool.
We should have prizes for Best Individual Point Getter as well as best hands in each discipline.
Good luck to all and Have a great New Year.
I'm up for a "tryout" and maybe we should be playing one of the less played games like Omaha, 7 card stud or even limt holdem to get a better understanding of how players really play in games they are probably less comfortable in. I'm sure that everyone whos willing to represent Milton has a above average grasp on NL Hold em tourneys. Just a suggestion.
FYI, still working on a lineup... By the way training camp in Vegas is Feb 19th - 23rd.... lol. see thread in B&M.....
