PM me if your interested. Buy-ins are usually around $60 and we get from 15-30 people.I just built a poker table for around $275, check out I used the plans for Junells table and it turned out great. Easy to build too.If you get a game going, I'll be happy to play. Link to post Share on other sites

Kilgore Trout 0 Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Good thing you didn't come kurt I took the whole thing down didn't loose a single game, I was the only one who didn't loose in the round robin and then trashed a guy in the semis and took the first two in the finals (two out of three). I had five races (thoughout) and only won one, it was a key one but the other guy did make a bad move imho so I didn't mind winning with AK against 52.Here are a few dates that work for me let me know what you guuys think.June 30July 1July 3 (since we're off the 4th)July 4 (what the hell start at noon?)July 15August 5August 12Gimme some feedback on what you guys think and I'll start a new threadLefty, I've been wanting to get to those games but I have been a travelling fool lately so I have not been able to. Just this year I have been to St. Louis, Vegas (three times), San Diego, D.C., Austin, Pittsburg, and northern MN. It seems the weekends I don't travel I have company or a game with my buddies to it just hasn't happened. I did make it to the heads up tourny there and did alright but didn't cash.boat drinks Link to post Share on other sites
