goatboy Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 (edited) Open invitation to cc.com community: Trogdor and I are planning to host a ONE-night fundraiser poker tournament to benefit cc.com. We are both in North Seattle. Here's the vision: Schedule: One night of Texas Hold'Em on Friday 2/8. Cost: It will cost $12 per person to enter, $4 of which will be donated to cc.com. Winners can choose to donate more of their winnings if they so choose. The rest of the money will go towards prize money for finals winners. Location: Either Goatboy or Trogdor will host a single night tournament in North Seattle. Poker details: This will be no limit Texas hold'em. If you lose all your chips in the first hour, then you will be allowed to "rebuy" into the tournament (for another $12, for the same amount of chips you started with). Blinds will automatically raise incrementally every 10 hands. Why do we do it? To have fun and raise a few bucks for the website -- and meet some climbing poker players - or poker-playing climbers. Do you need to be an expert poker player to play? Heck no. It will be open to players of all abilities. It will be a bring your own snacks and beverage type of affair. Questions? Please PM me or Trogdor, or reply to this thread. To sign up, PLEASE REPLY TO THIS THREAD. Thanks -- we hope to see you at the fundraiser.

goatboy Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 I saw that one coming a mile away... I realize it's asking a lot, but keeping this thread relatively spray free will help us figure out who's coming without having to pour through pages of spray to do so.... THANKS!

goatboy Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 do we get to select which location we'd like to play? i mean i'm seriously picky I don't see why not, unless 16 people sign up and they ALL want ot go to the same place....so unless space limitations are a concern, of course you can choose which place to play. If you want to sign up to play, indicate if you prefer NW or NE Seattle, or have no preference. THANKS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbw1966 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 With all the banner ads, military solicitations, etc., the site needs to hold a fundraiser? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizard_brain Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 This sounds good. Can I wear my CC.c skull shirt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizard_brain Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 With all the banner ads, military solicitations, etc., the site needs to hold a fundraiser? It's not a hell of a lot of money. Sounds more like an excuse to drink and play poker. Which is fine with me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goatboy Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 With all the banner ads, military solicitations, etc., the site needs to hold a fundraiser? Lizard is correct. It's really an excuse to drink and play poker. But we figured, why not deflect some of the funds towards a good cause. The site didn't ask us to fundraise, in other words. We just wanted to.

goatboy Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 Okay, so not an overwhelming response to this idea. I've learned that this site is not cascadepokerplayers.com -- no real surprise there.... Turns out to be for the best, as the night of the 1st no longer works for Trogdor... What we've decided to do is get together the night of the 8th (either in NE or NW) to drink beer and play poker. If anyone here wants to play that night, just let us know. Thanks.

TrogdortheBurninator Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 So, is there any interest in doing this? Can't play a very good game with only 2-3 people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chucK Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Me me me me!!!! I want to play. I must have missed this the first time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argus Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I'd play if it worked out with my schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrogdortheBurninator Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 argus - does that mean you will play if it fits in your schedule, or you would play, but your schedule is already full? Come on people, this will be fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argus Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I'll play if it fit's in my schedule. I travel a lot for work, so a weekend night would have the best probability of me making it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chucK Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 No need to be hypothetical. The currently planned night (see above) is Friday Feb 8. Can you make it then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argus Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Unfortunately I have a 4 day hut skiing trip this weekend. Next weekend would work better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argus Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 So did you play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrogdortheBurninator Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 no go, not enough interest. If anybody wants to play in the future, just respond to this thread, and when/if we get enough responses, we can try again and get something going.
