Preppopolis: Feb 8th: Kit Kat Palooza

So is this like an exclusive thing? Or is anyone welcome? (serial killers excluded)
Fortunately, I’m just a broke dude who should be in college but decided he’d rather take an indefinite amount of time off to focus on the more important aspects of life (SF, beer, music, etc).
I’d either be coming from Kent or Northgate, and would be willing to drive anyone who needs a ride.
:tup:

I’d like to play poker sometime with you guys, is that cool? What’s the buy-in? I am friends with Nate/XTG if you know him.

Dunno if I even play any games you guys do (KOF '98, FFS, ST, A3)…

You guys mind if i start coming to these? I’d love to hang out with everyone again!

I don’t think Zach minds, I for one welcome more money in the prize pool. Buy-in is $10.

I’d also like to propose a new structure for the tournament to prevent it from turning into a crapshoot after we combine. Keeping the rounds at 15 mins is ok but I think we should do a more conventional (slower) blind structure, meaning less doubling of the blinds in the earlier rounds. The fact that we have to cap the blinds everytime at 1600/3200 should say something (or maybe starting stack should be bigger?). For example:

25/50
50/100
75/150
100/200
150/300
Chip up
200/400

We can start doubling after chip up or keep it slow, up to Zach the tournament director.

Yeah, np. See “rules” in the initial thread post. I think we capped after a looooong time last time (1600/3200?), but that’s optional according to what the table wants.

I’ll try to show up one of these days but I get off work at 10pm, what happens if I show up at around 11?

If you show up around 11, you’ll be there before half the poker players!

Not gonna be able to make it this week btw, got a concert I’m goin to

Let’s have a marvel tournament yea!

Wow, you better be performing if you’re going to dodge this! :annoy:

MARVEL TOURNEY!

i’ll second that chris… maybe combining that with shorter rounds, say 12 minutes, will still keep the tournament length reasonable. it seems like a better structure overall, imo.

I’m gonna be late I think.

Soooo, updated poker format AND a Marvel tournament? I need to know how much money I’m going to lose Friday, so please be clear.

Sounds good. If we increment the small blind by 100 after chip-up until we reach 500, we can then do a second chip up to 500 and 1000 chips and then increment by 500 and 1000 thereafter. This should alleviate making change for the blinds at the later stages of the tournament as well since there will only be two values/colors in play.

puff, puff, mash? thats the recipe for victory.

I’ll be there all weekend so…if someone wants to help with a place to crash…I’d be thankful. Just me btw, no hangers on.

This is Drew, btw. Fuckin spam accounts.

bring some oregon grown party favors drew-dub

As regards tourney: I have no idea what people want here when, so we’ll just go by Cody’s rules. Team tourney or regular tourney, either way. It was Cody’s idea. :smile:

FWIW, I actually came home early so JMar could kick my ass before his operation, so if peeps want to show up early I’m home. shrug

I’m gonna be later than 11 but I’m on my way from Seatac to Redmond then Kirkland, holla.

I think that’s about right.

Whoever left chocolate chips embedded in my carpet downstairs, I’m mad at you. That’s really nasty. No more chocolate chip cookies allowed. Guys, this is my house. I live here. I put in that carpet. Don’t be ghetto.
