This tournament was the second run with the new rules and new tournament manager. The game was set up as a $10 game, but the average spent was $34. I felt the rebuys and addons added more excitement to the game and got more action in the first hour. The only change I plan on making for the next game is to have the blinds accelerate a little quicker after the second break. Please post any comments you have on how the game went or changes you would like to see for the next game.
The tournament results are as follows:
There were 15 players, with 22 rebuys and 14 addons. The total prize pool was 510 and was distributed as follows:
1st Place pete - 254
2nd Place Justin - 128
3rd Place Kevin D. - 77
4th Place David - 51

What to Bring
There is no need to bring anything when coming to my house to play poker. I do not require my guest to pay anything or bring anything. I usually provide soda and some snacks.
That being said, some people have been asking what they can bring to the games. I do not provide beer so, if you plan on drinking please bring your own beverages with enough to share. Gary has been kind enough to always provide ice for the games, so as long as he is coming there is no need to bring any. Also Tom may be donating a fridge which will reduce the need for ice in the future.
As far as food, please only bring food that does not make a mess and is easily shared. Pretzels and M+M's are always good choices. Carrots and celery are a nice healthy option, but please no dip. Also no chips since they usually make hands greasy and can get seasoning everywhere. Resulting in the need for new decks of cards halfway through the night.
We also use 2-6 decks of cards a week, so new unopened decks are always helpful.

Poker Tournament Friday September 23
After a summer without poker, it is time to start the games going again.
The next tournament will be on Friday September 23th at 7:15 pm.
I will follow the same rules as the last game but the blinds will go
up in value a little quicker after the first hour.
20 minute blinds
$10 buyin for 1000 chips
$10 unlimted rebuys when you have less then 1000 in chips during first 3 levels
$10 Add-on after first hour of 2000 chips
I have a new tournament clock that will keep track of the players,
blinds, breaks, rebuys, add-ons and winnings.
Feel free to comment on the new rules here.
Charlie will not be playing, but he would like to meet everyone.
