Poker for Wine -- Sat. Nov. 7th -- WCC in Orange County

Hey Wetrock, check out Omaha Hi-Low and make sure you know what it is before you think it’s some goofy poker game. It’s Poker, man.

Played that online for dollas several times bro. It’s alright but too much going on to concentrate on actual poker. With Hold 'em you actually have to play the playas rather than just the cards.

@Frank Murray III

I don’t get the buy in piece? Explain a bit more on how the money and chip buy-ins will work. I need some help on that.

Buy in is one bottle of wine valued around $30…that’s it. Then we play a Texas Hold 'em tournament for the bottles. Each player gets equal chips of course. Depending on the number of players we will have a prize break down. If it’s say 9 then it might be 1st gets 6 bottles, 2nd gets 2 and 3rd gets 1. That will be a game time decision.

I am going to try and make this game…a little iffy will let you know.

Sorry Frankie…but, I have to agree with Wetrock…This is poker!! LOL You can watch bits and pieces of the WSOP on TV now! The final table takes place next month at the RIO. There is only one first place winner

Will there be re-buys? Maybe I should bring extra bottles…hehe

It would be great if you can make it, Francine. Sadly, no re-buys … if we allowed that Yoni would empty his whole cellar!

hey … Patrick-the-shark rivered a 2-card outer on me. I’ll take those odds any day. bring it on, boy.

An interesting idea, though (especially for someone who is always one of the first to donk out ). The problem here is time. If everyone kept buying in, we would run out of time before we get a winner.

Is there someone he HASN’T done that to?

CRAP - I cannot make it, another Geology Field Trip, but hell, I got a crap-load of French and Italian wines I could readily “lose” in such an evening. My pleasure, actually. Some Garagiste bottles from the same geographic regions too!!! I have to pay attention to the next one of these evenings of bottle dumping.

We’d love to have you at the next one, Eldon. As far as the buy-in bottles go, people do not treat at it as a “bottle dumping” - everybody seems to make a genuine effort to buy-in with bottles they think others will like.

My strategy is to bring something I want to win. I’ve only succeeded in educating Patrick’s palate on Sauternes and German Riesling thus far.

Worded much more elegantly than I managed.

Everyone is welcome on this board… even future WPT and WSOP players. Glad to see you over here you card shark!!

[Brian_G_r_a_f_s_t_r_o_m]

Uh-oh … Patrick the shark has entered the building.

Nice to have you here, dawg.

[Brian_G_r_a_f_s_t_r_o_m]

RSVP list added to first post. Let’s turn some of those “maybes” into “definite yesses” people!

[CFu]

will we be starting at 11am for certain? I have a wedding reception to go to at 6:30pm in Irvine hehe.

[Patrick_M]

11am is the show-up time with poker starting after the meet, greets and drinks. We should hopefully finish around 5:30-6pm.

[CFu]

aighty, if my girlfriend doesn’t go to the wedding then I’m in 100%.

[bweimer]

Count me in.
