Title: "Home Game" on the Friday before the Luton Team competition CANCELLED
Post by: Curlarge on January 05, 2013, 21:36:57 PM
CANCELLED


We have had a couple of late drop outs which leaves us with just 13 runners which is just about the worst number possible.

Therefore we have little choice but to cancel our "home game".

Genting have a £25 + £5 game on at 8pm which is "win the hand win the button", which sounds fun, and I will play this.

Alternatively, The G has a £40 +£6 with a £20 add on or re-buy at 7.30.

Best laid plans and all that.......


In previous years, the members, of the APAT Luton Poker Club, plus guests, have played a "home game" on the Friday night preceding the team event. It has been a fun night designed to continue the camaraderie that we built up over the previous 3-4 years.

Sadly the G casino has a large event (120 + runners with a buy in of £66) on that night and can"t accommodate us until after 9.30 pm, but the Genting Casino has room for us. It is a smaller casino on the Dunstable side of the M1 at Junction 11, about 5 mins by car from the G Casino.

They have agreed for us to have 2 dealer dealt tables, from 8 pm, with an 8K stack and a 25 minute clock, for £25 + £5.

If you would like to play please post here.

We have 5 seats left so please let me know if you wish to play asap.

CANCELLED

We have a few spots still available for the "Home Game" at Genting Luton on Friday 25th, the day before the team comp.

If anyone else would like to play please let me know asap.

BUMP!

13 Players so far (Curly - can you add Ayresi (iain ayre) to the list?)

We could do with 5 or so more to justify the Genting putting this on for us.

Come on. It"s always a laugh.

Waz is your brother not about for this one?

Will be an 8pm start with 25 min clock and 8k stack with no re-buys or add-ons, so hopefully not too bad. Anyway Waz could be home by 9.15!!!!!!!!!! ;) ;)

Apologies for the late notice.  Sincerley hope not too much of an issue.

Given the treck across from where I"m staying, I might just play at the G as it will be easier for me... or I might stay a extra night at home.

I"ll sleep on it and decide in the morning. Be interested to see what others post before making a final decision.

Win the Button is great fun. Brings all sorts of extra dynamic into a game, especially as the blinds rise. Get yourself a seat to the left of the least aggressive players at the table and make life hell for the people to your left.
