Hey guys,

With our current weekly dinners; would a weekly, or even bi-weekly poker night be too much of a burden on everyone's social calendar?

I had the idea from a couple members discussing how QLD pubs are actually holding state poker tourneys now for a minimal entry fee, or none at all. I figured this would be excellent for a few folks interested in the game, to learn or to be schooled in the art of outguessing your opponent.

There's a couple options open to either compete as a club team at the pubs, a private game in a licensed bar, or simply just house party it up with dvds, pool tables, and other stuff on offer as well.

So this post is basically gathering interest as to who would be up for a games night, and any folks offering the use of their premises (I know Mushroom and MrBenno have stated several times they have very awesome houses).

Thoughts? Comments?

Go !

Edit: I appear to have noobed the poll, just reply if you'd like to do the tourney option

I already play in a weekly tournament which has free entry. These are sponsored by Wild the sphincter of the universe and are a great night. Blinds go up every 15 minutes so it isn't too late a night. Depending on the venue, some prizes are on offer for the top 3 players. My venue, Club Bunya, has about 50 players on a Monday night.

this sounds cool too

i'm personally keen on the home venue idea so we can do stuff like get completely trashed and make it an all nighter thing, like fridays or something

How many dollars are we talking here, or is it just friendly games.

reasonably friendly

5 dollar buyin gets you $1000 of chips, that can last you anywhere from an hour to several days (if you even lose at all)

nice and cheap as long as you aren't a hideously sore loser, but it's designed to stop people from doing silly stuff like betting the lot on a bluff, etc, it makes people play properly

Kirsty and I would be keen. Would have to be a Friday or Saturday though. Will need some warning in advance to get someone to mind our kids.

      Really, anyone modifying a car isn't being financially smart. We're doing it for the things we love. And honestly, a high revving, light, NA car is actually pretty darn fun. I used to have a Swift Sport, and I miss that thing as a daily, and yes, doing something like some intake and exhaust stuff would have made minimal gains, but would have bought an even bigger smile

      Yeah, playing with naturally aspirated is not smart bang for your buck power wise, but then I've never been known for being smart when it comes to cars and modifications

      I mean from V8 world there are gains to be made in intakes and such over stock items, but definitely only if you tune them. We're talking about I dunno, 10kw here and there on a 300KW v8, gains made by tuning in the 0.2 AFR that it changes so YES but also no you won't notice it other than the sound. Duct the air as mentioned 750,000 times and you will notice happier IAT's which definitely make a difference N/A. I mean my unsubstantiated guess is you'd go from 140kw with everything stock (after cams) to 145kw with everything and a tune :p

      I decided to "spend baby spend", and "risk it for the biscuit" 2 Orders were made buying parts that I "don't really need but really really want" totalling $2.5k AUD 1: In stock items (intake plenum and throttle body) 2: The airbox thingie, with no real ETA for them getting more stock, so patience will be required
