AFF 2012 Inaugural Poker Afternoon and Dinner - Sydney

[munitalP]

Lol. There's a Dan Murphy just up the road, so there's good stocks there. Bundy will be stopping off for a pit stop on his way, last time he was at my house "not drinking" I think he pretty much decimated (used in the correct sense ie 1 in 10) my wine rack. Funny how it was the penfolds he went for

Sounds good to me!

And if people promise to be gentle to my cards, i'll bring my shiny new direct-from-vegas poker cards with me

 

[nlagalle]

I am in Sydney on the 24th and depending on golf commitments (semi-final of match play championships if I happen to get that far ) would be interested.

Poker table delivered yesterday. Now to buy some chips and eight more seats.

I have decided my "family" room is going to become my "den". I have not told wife about this plan yet, so ATM it's 100% happening Blackjack table before the event I hope. I will gratefully accept any casino memorabilia donated to make the "den" more Man Friendly!

not sure - I may buy a better poker table before then - I'll TXT you next week sometime.

Just need a few more players

I was interested until I remembered that I was actually meant to be in Vegas until my wife pointed out it was middle delinquents 18 th birthday and she wasn't doing it on her own!

 

[munitalP]

I have 2 tables + high quality chips now. Looking forward to it! The more the merrier, so please feel free to join in!

 

[awilcockson]

I am so keen on this, but will need to work on SWMBO.

If nobody hears from me in the next couple of days, you can assume the conversation didn't go as well as planned.

Wish me luck

 

[haydensydney]

FYI mrs.haydensydney and I are in the mix for this event. Looking forward to it.

Now, off to practice my poker face

Is that a spelling mistake? Shouldn't it be MY GAMBLING VERSACE?

 

[ozmille]

I would love to come. However... I only have very very little poker experience. Is that a problem?

 

[haydensydney]

Easy to learn ozmille!

I recommend you check out some Youtube videos (type: how to play texas holdem)... though it's best learnt by playing

Nup - this event is for fun. Please don't let that scare you away, you will pick up the game in minutes, and with "fair Drew" as the dealer, I'm sure coaching will be tolerated

When playing for money (not sure if this is the intention here) that's exactly the sort of person welcomed to the table with welcome arms

For those of you not familiar with poker, Crown has a guide (it's a little crown-centric, but have a look through it and it lists all different nuances with the game). The PDF is at http://www.crownmelbourne.com.au/Assets/Files/Poker_Guide.pdf

And munitalP, if you want to know what rules I was trained on (not that I have any plans on enforcing 99% of them) are here: http://www.crownmelbourne.com.au/Assets/Files/Poker Rules Version 11 0 _chinese poker_.pdf
