This is one in an ongoing list of ideas we have between here and May 19th to promote the Fund Raiser, along with some site togetherness.
We are going to hold a Texas Hold'um tournament and the winner will receive (a)nother entry into our amazing giveaway to be drawn the night of May 17th, 2008. Very much worth it.
Rules of the game:
The game will be: Saturday April 12th--I will try to keep international players in the same block for time constraints.
- 500.00 stake-play it till you lose (you must have the funds available to enter)
- Game will be played on one full day, winner takes all
- Game will be played in blocks of 10 (if we get that many)--the winner from each block moving on to the next game with other winners.
- The stake for the game can be loaned.
- Each players current beambucks will be recorded and reset to 500.00--players should not post the day of the game
- Directors are eligible to play but not win the entry--if a Director wins the tournament, the entry will go to the next closest member
- If you sign up, please play
What the hell is Texas Hold'um?
Simple game of poker that has 7 cards dealt instead of 5. Highest combination in 5 wins. Ace high-pair-two of a kind-three of a kind-stright...and so on.
You are dealt two cards that are "in the hole" and can only be seen by you--the other 5 are dealt to the middle, face up. You create your hand out of 5 using the best of 7
A bet or raise is made after each turn of the card.
So sign up here if you would like to be involved.
