Default OT, GTA RL Texas Hold'em Poker night

Thinking of organizing a poker night event, tournament style. 50% of the pot size will go to charities of our choice and any money that I win from this event will go towards charities as well. I've come in first & fifth in big tourneys before , but have not played in a while.

$50 buy-in
Minimum 10 players
Date: Oct. 29 @7pm
Where: Keele/Teston (Maple)

Based on 10 players,
1st place winner: $150
2nd place winner: $100

I will provide pizza, donuts and drinks. Please respond here if you are interested.

5) Rally Guy (maybe)
6) 416-997-911 (maybe)
7) Sultan
8) Zab
9) Carguy88

Ha, Tim, so what you are saying is that you are a semi-pro and to make us feel better, after taking our money, you will donate half of it to a charity. Hmm, let me think about it for a second... NO THANK YOU
Friday night boys playing poker for quarters, drinking beer, watching a hockey game might attract more participants, IMO.
Zookie, did you just think "strippers too"?

LOL, I'm no pro Stan, I've lost more than what I've won . Just wanted to organize some sort of event to help out the charities. If I win, all will go to charities not half.

I'm just throwing out the numbers, all suggestions are welcome. It would be nice for some of us to get together for a poker night other than the usual car stuff, putting names to faces. I will not take a penny home and there's no need for me to do so. Besides, the donations will not be made under my name.

why don't you work out the location first? IMO it should be at someone's house cause pretty hard to play poker anywhere else but in private.

I was planning to use my buddy's rec room in Richmond Hill and still awaiting his confirmation. I also planned to provide drinks and pizza for everyone.

Anyhow, to avoid the confusion I'm no longer interested in organizing it and it's a no go .

I'm in.

If you cancel, does this mean we have to see strippers again.

It's my b-day weekend, I'm just gonna spend it with my family and a few close friends instead.

Can someone PLEASE organize it? I will still pay for the buy-in at whatever you guys set it at. I know a few of us can not make a difference but at least we're giving. Christmas season is just around the corner, it may not mean a lot to us but it will to others.

LOL Eshel, a happy wife means a happy life. We can always go for a nice dinner instead...
