CalgaryPuck Poker Tournaments

[metallicat]

If they start to get too big, is there a chance that we can limit the number of entrants, and just have multiple tourney's going? It's just that on a weeknight, I don't really want to be playing well into the morning. I realize my poor performance today doesn't bode well for me ever playing well into the morning...

Edit- Tonight was great though, I am not trying to sound ungrateful.

Even if we get about 45 people playing, if it starts at 8 mtn, it would play untill about 10:30. Maybe 11.

I doubt it'll ever get to that point, I assume maybe 20-25 is as big as it'll ever get. I don't anticipate 30 people suddenly being available all at once on a weeknight.

But if it gets that big, we'll look at something like that... hard to coordinate once you have people already registered and whatnot though.

[Mike Oxlong]

Thanks for organizing this. I am in for sure for future events.
I just logged on too late tonight.

I'll watch for the next one.

So do you guys play with real money on pokerstars? I never really got into the whole online poker thing but I play about once or twice a month with a few friends and I was always interested about how the online stuff works

Yeah, it's pretty simple to deposit really. On pokerstars I use the "echecks" option which pretty much links right up to your bank account for deposits and withdrawals. There are a few other options as well.

I believe the minimum deposit is about $25.00 US, so like $33 CDN.

Tournaments start as low as $0.10.

I just really enjoy the software and their tournament structure. Their support is always top-notch also, and their reward program is the best IMO. Been playing there for over 4 years now and have loved my experience.

If you play poker more for the social aspect of it though (which it sounds like is true in your case), you probably wouldn't enjoy it. I like it because I'm usually sittin around at home on weeknights anyway so it gives me a fun, cheap (free if i'm winning) way to kill time while I browse CP, watch hockey, and do laundry.

bah read this thread 3 hours to late or i'd have been there.

[albertGQ]

This thread has turned into an online poker tournament.

We gonna do a live one ever?

[edn88]

Thanks for organizing MalcolmK - it was fun.

[malcolmk14]

Not a problem. I had a good time (and won money).

Anyone that's interested in joining these once in a while, subscribe to this thread and I'll update it when I'm gonna host another one. Good chance it'll be early next week, Monday or Tuesday evening.

[BlackEleven]

Congrats to malcolmk14.

I had fun. The whole 15 minutes I lasted!

[Titan]

I would also be in for the next or future ones.

[StrayBullet]

I want in on the next one.

[bomber317]

I will also be interested in the next one. Sounds like lots of fun. Play poker, talk hockey.

[Weiser Wonder]

I'd be down for a live one too when I'm back in town this summer.

[metallicat]

Anyone interested in a game tonight? I should be home.

[Dan02]

maybe we should make it a nightly event, unfortunately I think it wouldn't be as well attended if we did that. Weekly is about right.

[malcolmk14]

If five or six people ask in here I can set one up for you guys, but I can't play tonight.

Just let me know.

[metallicat]

Well I can't guarantee I will make it, but if there is a tournament made for tonight, I'll do my best to be there.

[newts]

I'd play tonight if it was after 8 mst
