**UPDATED 1/24/09**

--The game is full but we may have openings so stay tuned--

Hey everyone. We did this last year and it was fun!

On Sunday Feb 8 2009 we will hold our second day long Texas Holdum Tournament.

The winner will get 5 entries into the giveaway. :rock:

Here's how it works:

Say you want to play
Have enough beam buck for your 500.00 stake (that is all we will play with)
Be here to play on the first

Each player will be issued a sign on that can do NOTHING but play the Hold em game. We'll use people from TheDarkTower.

Holdem is simple poker with 7 cards, you can only use 5 for your hand. Very simple game

This doesn't make any real money for Haven but it's still fun and raises awareness.

Our List of Players:

Matt
Brice
Lisa
razz
at one
bast imret
Arthur Heath
Kevin
Turtlesong
Turtlex

If you guys can't play, please let me know. We'll fill the spot.

Look for an email soon with your member name and password information. Remember to read the second point above concerning that sign on.

So, are we limited to 8 people? or 10?

What time does this start?

Or is it on going, and whomever end up with the most dough at the end of the day wins?

Matt
12-19-2008, 12:56 PM
we can only do up to 10 people (I would LOVE it if that many wanted to play)

We'll start at 1200 EST and go until someone wins. You can come and go as much as you like.

I will try. God only knows what 6 weeks holds.

Darkthoughts

Pickle, it's pretty easy - basically you just need to know how to make scoring hands, the rest is in the way the cards are dealt and the computer takes care of all of that:

*high card
*pairs
*3 of a kind
*straight (unsuited)
*flush
*full house (3 of a kind and a pair)
*4 of a kind
*straight flush (suited)
*royal flush

well it's on a Friday and I live in Turkey so where can I go to see it I have Bucks? Also where can I go to send a donation? If the bucks are there i'm in.... if not I'll start posting more. We'll see how it goes. Later

Brice
12-21-2008, 10:11 AM
Look in the casino link at the top of the page. You can see how many beambucks you have there. I'll send you enough to enter though. :) As for donations there is a paypal link beneath the donation bar at the top of the front page of the forums.

I wish I were going to be in town to play, but alas... I shall just have to grieve my absence whilst on the cruise to the Bahamas my wife and I will be taking.

turtlex

Gee Sam... kinda hard to feel bad for you! Enjoy the cruise! And I just bet there's a casino on board!

Sure, anyone can do that but there will be no mystery. :ninja:

John Blaze
12-30-2008, 08:38 AM
in that case, check your pm.

The Lady of Shadows
12-30-2008, 01:26 PM
hmmmm. i thought i already posted that i was in. weird. so okay, i'm in (even though daggers doesn't seem to want my money).

Does everyone realize 2-1-09 is Superbowl Sunday?

Matt
01-05-2009, 08:50 AM
Wow! I picked it out of the blue.

<--not much of a football guy. :ninja:

razz
01-05-2009, 08:52 AM
wait, there are people that like football?

turtlex

Nah. Can't be.

To be honest, I don't remember what name I had for the tourney last year, let alone JB :lol:

The Lady of Shadows
01-07-2009, 12:28 PM
so are you changing the date matt or leaving it on 2/1? curious turtles and all that. . . . :unsure:

Matt
01-07-2009, 12:32 PM
Hmmm...now would be the time to do it I guess. :lol:

We could always do it the Saturday before, just not sure if I have to work till noon that day.

i'm pretty sure that you feel a cold coming on. :evil:

cough, cough. sniffle.

Jon
01-08-2009, 11:39 PM
If there is still room for me, I'm in.

Just know that if it is Superbowl Sunday, I will be happy to be a part of this. But know that, at or about 7PM, I am opening a fifth of beam. I have been sucessful at this game in the past. It's time I learned my lesson. I am a loser and I need reinforcement of that fact. You all cannot let my past sucess at this game stand.

razz
01-09-2009, 04:09 AM
and is daggers going to give a plausible explanation for her absence or just leave us in the dark and cold, wondering why she is not taking our money. . . .

:P
because she remembers this:
Daghain: Unless you have major undercars, razz, your ass is mine
Turtlesong: ahahahahahahahahaha
me.we'll see: though I'll probably lose
turtle: be nice daggers, pull the fangs back in he's a noobie
Daghain: Nope, live an learn lol
turtle: well i have shit so i'm bluffing my ass off over here
daggers: you lose
me: meh
*I win hand*
Daggers: BITCH!
ME: Hey Daggers, sure you don't want some ice to go on that BURN?

John Blaze
01-09-2009, 01:40 PM
sorry matt, but it seems i won't be able to be a part of this after all. not that you guys will miss me, there seems to be plenty of people wanna join.

Brice
01-10-2009, 06:24 AM
...and still we'll miss you, Bruno. :(

Darkthoughts
01-10-2009, 06:52 AM
I will! :cry:

aww, thanks man.


I will! :cry:why? because you won't have me around to whip so badly?


So will I, it was great last year. :rock:lol, i remember i figured you out in 2 seconds.

You: "i hate people, they fuck me up"

Me: "yeah, how you doing there matt?"

Jon
01-10-2009, 09:59 PM
Sorry that I won't see you Bruno!

John Blaze
01-10-2009, 11:57 PM
me too, Jon. It's always fun to take your money.

the thing is, i might be out of town, and since i get so few weekends off, i just can't justify to my wife staying on the computer all day on my day off.

Matt
01-11-2009, 04:34 PM

I think we probably should, but I'd like to move it out as opposed to closer.

I'll come up with another one.

turtlex
01-12-2009, 03:49 AM
Okey dokey - I'll tune in here for an update!

Matt
01-24-2009, 08:40 AM
I have updated the first post in this thread and changed the title.

I would like to shoot for the very next Sunday. Please check the list of "confirmed to play" names and let me know if that's good for you so we can open up the seat if it isn't.

:grouphug:

Sounds good to me.....what time do we start?

Matt
01-24-2009, 09:03 AM
That's a good question :orely:

There is no way to make it exactly right for international folks...probably as early as possible to as late as possible.

Maybe 10am EST to 10pm EST?

Brice
01-29-2009, 07:55 AM
Which Sunday? What date?

Matt
01-29-2009, 07:57 AM
Sunday 2/8

Brice
01-29-2009, 08:00 AM
I probably can't be here then. :(

turtlex
01-29-2009, 08:39 AM
Matt - I can't be 100% sure of being around on the 8th, so better remove my name as well. Sorry.

Matt
01-29-2009, 08:45 AM
That's okay you guys...I'm not married to the date.

It's just really hard to get everyone together at the same time.

01-29-2009, 09:00 AM
As far as the time goes....do we have to be present right when the game starts or can we jump in at any time?

Matt
01-29-2009, 09:06 AM
You can jump in and out anytime during the game. It just plays on if you don't respond.

Nice...do your blinds go in when it's your turn or is it just like you aren't there? I only ask because I know I am going to be a little late, it's my woman's b-day on the 7th and I'm sure we won't be going to bed too early....

Matt
01-29-2009, 09:21 AM
It acts like you simply are not there, no bet or anything.

01-30-2009, 12:46 PM
unfortunately, my husband's schedule has changed and the 8th isn't going to work for me.

Hmmmm...sounds like there won't be a game. :lol:

The Lady of Shadows
01-30-2009, 01:13 PM

whether she plays or not? :P

The Lady of Shadows
01-31-2009, 06:52 PM
Hmmmm...sounds like there won't be a game. :lol:

oh captain, my captain?

are you rescheduling the game? leaving it on 2/8? cancelling it completely?
please don't say you are cancelling it completely. please? i'll pay. really i will. i'm not above bribery. you know that about me. :D

Matt
02-07-2009, 08:09 AM
I'm not sure how this is going to work. Many people said they will not be able to play.

Not a big deal, we can hold it anytime.

I think the whole thing may need to be postponed until I have a chance to plan it better. We have plenty of time to get it in.

Scott Landon
02-12-2009, 09:29 AM
Okay, we're starting this thing up this coming Sunday from 1PM-4PM EST. Instead of having one tournament we'll be having a series of tournaments to enable more people to be able to play.There will be more tournaments on different days of the week and at various times to hopefully make it so all who want to play in one of them can. Some may be longer then this first one.

The winner of each tournament will get 1 entry into the giveaway.

Here's how it works:

Say you want to play in this thread
Have enough beam buck for your 500.00 stake (that is all we will play with)
Be here to play on Sunday.

Each player will be issued a sign on that can do NOTHING but play the Hold em game. We'll use people from TheDarkTower.

Holdem is simple poker with 7 cards, you can only use 5 for your hand. Very simple game

This doesn't make any real money for Haven but it's still fun and raises awareness.

So post if you want to play. :) I'll PM your sign on and password to you. Remember you CAN'T post with this sign on. You can only play the tournament with it.

Our List of Players:

Matt
02-12-2009, 09:51 AM
I would play this weekend but we are out of town. Thanks for setting these up Scott, can't wait to get in on one.

Obviously Directors can't win an entry but it's still fun. :rock:

Scott Landon
02-12-2009, 09:59 AM
You're welcome! :thumbsup: I'm sure you'll be able to get in on one of these.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that for the last game of the tournament: winner takes all the beambucks too.

Scott Landon
02-17-2009, 07:42 AM
I'm sure all of you know why we didn't have the hold'em tourney on Sunday. I'll take a look at my schedule (surprisingly us dead folk keep pretty busy) and see when we can do the next one.
