I might be able to make it this week...

Hey cartman, you still owe me a buy-in, right?

Sure, if you can make it, I'll front you.

As for me, it all depends. That will be middle of the night over here. If I'm up with jetlag still, I'll be in.

Radii · 12-09-2004, 08:52 AM

50/50 for now, my usual late Sunday decision.

AnalBumCover · 12-09-2004, 09:02 AM

Once again, I will not be able to make this tournament.

TLK · 12-09-2004, 07:31 PM

chalk me up as a 50/50.... depends on if the x-mas shopping is done...

cartman · 12-12-2004, 03:38 AM

I'm probably not gonna be able to make this one. I'm flying from Warsaw to Zurich today. Tomorrow I have a meeting in the morning, then a drive to Paris. Only if my insomnia is really bad will I be awake at 3am to play. Next weekend might be a better chance for me, as I'm flying back to the US on the 20th. If I stay up all night playing poker, I can just sleep on the flight back...

Jeeb, let me know if you are going to play, and I will transfer the $11 to your PS account.

Lathum · 12-12-2004, 08:56 AM

I should be in.

primelord · 12-12-2004, 02:24 PM

I will likely be in tonight

RPI-Fan · 12-12-2004, 04:47 PM

Almost certainly in.

P.S.: Someone IM me at KNSmith85 if I forget.

EagleFan · 12-12-2004, 04:48 PM

How many people usually play? I may have to setup a pokerstars account one of these days.

A dozen or so is average.

GoldenEagle · 12-12-2004, 06:20 PM

TLK · 12-12-2004, 06:22 PM

9 pm (EST)

GoldenEagle · 12-12-2004, 06:24 PM

I might be in if I can workout a party poker transfer with someone.

12 different winners in the last 12 tournaments

primelord · 12-13-2004, 10:12 AM

So sad. I finished one spot out of the money last night.

It was fun guys. Who ended up winning?

Lathum, then knsmith, then Lion King

Radii · 12-13-2004, 10:43 AM

damn. Lathum is on fire

I haven't made the money in 3 or 4 tourneys or more now, I gotta step up in the next one.

JonInMiddleGA · 12-13-2004, 10:54 AM

At least I got something out of last night ... it apparently made me a better player.
I ended up with 4x my original stake in a .05/.10 LHe game.

Okay, I ain't exactly the last of the big spenders, but in my very limited experience,
it as the best performance I've had, so I'm pretty durned happy about it
pathetic, ain't it?

I wondered about that, but was hoping I would eventually figure it out.
Another mystery solved

Desnudo · 12-13-2004, 01:33 PM

What's a "bounty?"

cartman · 12-13-2004, 04:58 PM

It's known in these parts as "The cartman poker subsidy" fund.

It varies, but the common bounty is paid when someone knocks me out of the tournament, and then finishes in the money. Without fail, the person who knocks me out ends up winning the tournament. In early tourneys, I would match what they win. Later on, it turned into $10 for 3rd, $15 for 2nd, and $25 for first.

I paid for a good part of Radii and Olliegirl's wedding with the bounties Radii won from me...

There have been other bounties, but mine, by far, have been the most lucrative for FOFCers.

Desnudo · 12-13-2004, 05:50 PM

Is that paid by Pokerstars or is it something you do yourself? And if you do it yourself, why? It definitely seems like a fun idea, but I don't know why you'd pay someone to knock you out.

cartman · 12-13-2004, 07:34 PM

It comes out of my pocket.

The original thought behind it was to get more people to come out and play. Since I won the first two tourneys, I thought it would add a little excitement to the game and get people to sign up. Also, I felt it would help me make my game a bit better, since people would be out to get me, to get a chance to take the bounty.

Since we've gotten to a bit of a stable size in the number of players, the bounty probably won't be a regular occurrance, but still might pop up from time to time.

cartman · 12-13-2004, 07:37 PM

Dola,

damn, tonight's the night I have insomnia. I fell asleep around midnight (in Paris), and just woke up a little bit ago, wide-awake. It's 2:30am here right now. If this happened last night, I'd be able to play

Good thing my meeting tomorrow morning got cancelled! Nothing until a dinner meeting with a client.

Lathum · 12-13-2004, 07:40 PM

Had a great time last night, I went right to bed because I had to fly to Seattle today, We need to have an all-out multitable tourny that we set up mabye a few weeks in advance so people can play and know their schedules.

excellent idea.... the tournament that had 20+ players was a bunch of fun....

Suicane75 · 12-13-2004, 10:47 PM

I'm in agreement with the bigger tournament idea. Any tournament is fun, but a tournament where most of the groups poker players are there is that much more fun.

RGunner · 12-13-2004, 10:52 PM

If i have money in stars and I am available I am in no matter what

Suicane75 · 12-13-2004, 10:55 PM

Hey TLK, why don't you suggest we have a regular tournament this week and then take 2 weeks off and aim for a bigger tourney on the 9th?

TLK · 12-13-2004, 10:57 PM

Suggestion time....

play this Sunday as normal, and then take the next two Sunday's off as they are holiday weekends. Then aim for a bigger tournament on the 9th of January....

thoughts?

RGunner · 12-13-2004, 11:01 PM

I'm in both times most likely, unless something comes up, which isn't too likely, my Sundays are normally empty besides football watching. I will glady continue to be the worst player statistically in these things, nobody will ever take that role from me.

Radii · 12-14-2004, 09:35 AM

I'd love to see another 2+ table tourney here, however we need to set it up to get that to happen I'm game for.

AnalBumCover · 12-14-2004, 09:46 AM

Sounds good. I'll set up the regular tourney for this Sunday. And next week, I'll send out an announcement for the Rectal Trout Championship 2005 (or whatever name you want to give it).

I know some of us might be in a financial bind, but what would you say about raising the buy-in for the big tournament? Say, $20+2?

Desnudo · 12-14-2004, 11:05 AM

I'd be in.

TLK · 12-14-2004, 11:17 AM

I'd be in for the $20+2, but I doubt we'd get a full table.... who knows though?
