bigkid24 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 (edited) So I figured I would start the poker thread for this year's con. Things are still a little up in the air so for now I'm going to run things the same way they've been done in previous years. The max number of people for the tourney is about 27 or so players (about 9 per table) but we will accommodate more if necessary. Basic poker etiquette applies (detailed rules will be posted later). We will have prizes for at least the top 3 finishers but could have more depending on prize availability. Last year we had 5 places. The donation to enter is $20 (subject to change). The location and time is yet to be determined but most likely will not be held during the official con hours because it limits the players' involvement with other activities. Also, Please post here if you are interested. And feel free to post or PM me with any questions. As things get figured out, I will post updated information. 1 - bigkid24 2 - EXO 3 - Lance 4 - Eternal D 5 - Bobe-Patt 6 - KiriK 7 - Jasonc 8 - spyderx23 9 - snip312 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 Edited June 24, 2009 by bigkid24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigkid24 Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 buy in donation lowered to $20! That's cheap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonc Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I'll be in for it, but what does the buy-in cover? Just curious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigkid24 Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 I'll be in for it, but what does the buy-in cover? Just curious The buy-in helps us to cover additional prizes, any overhead, and, if applicable, banked for future cons as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigkid24 Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 Bump. Just a reminder the top prizes usually go something like this: 1st - $200 item (previous prizes have included: YF-21, VF-0A w/ghost) 2nd - $100-$150 item (VF-0A, GBP) 3rd - $50-$80 item (Max popbox doll) At the very least, the top 3 get "paid" out but last year we had 4th and 5th place prizes of shot glasses and posters. We have quite a few returning sponsors so I'm sure we'll have some great stuff this year, and if necessary we'll buy some prizes for this year's tourney to entice you guys. C'mon guys sign up!

KiriK Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 (edited) Is anyone still interested in signing up for this year's MW Con Poker Tournament? All prizes TBD based on number of entries. Due to scheduling thing year, we are hosting the MW Con poker tournament separate from the actual con and will be held either Friday, July 17th, or Saturday night, July 18th after the con at a different location.

KiriK Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Looks like our MW Con poker tournament will be postponed to a future date after the con where more attendees can make it. We don't have time to host it during the con this year so stay tuned for announcements of when we'll be hosting this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiriK Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 (edited) So I think i'm setting the date of the annual MW Poker Tournament on Saturday, August 22 to be held in Torrance, CA. I'll be hosting the tournament, so if you are interested in attending, PM me or email me at mwcon09@gmail.com I'm thinking of making it an extension of MW Con 09 and having a Macross party/BBQ with our poker tournament as the main event. But Saturday, August 22 is the date so mark it in your calendar if you want to come! Edited August 4, 2009 by KiriK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 What time on Aug 22nd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiriK Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Time is still TBD, but if i make it a whole party/bbq thing, then it'll probably start in the afternoon. If we just do poker, then maybe it'll be in the evening. Is there any interest for people to hang out for a party/bbq before hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonc Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Looks like it was a lot of fun. I'm now working the A.M. shift (10p.m.-6:30a.m.) So poker is definitely restricted to days off for me, for now. Cool prizes definitely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
