Guelph Poker Tournament

Feb 23,2005, 06:35 PM

I was looking at setting up a Poker tournament in Guelph. I am trying to find out what kind of interest is out there for this. What amount of buy in would be appropriate Etc etc.

Let me know

I may be interested, though I usually play lower limits..

I can probably wrangle a few others also.

Depending on the day and time, I might be able to make my way back to Guelph too. Let me know what the buyin, limits, etc. are and the dates and times.

I am trying to get a feel of what people want. Limit suggestions help alot. I usually play between 20 and 50 freezeouts but it has been strictly 12 ppl max thus far. Is ther interest in a Multi table $40-$50 tpurney plus whatever expenses there may be?

I would be interested in that.

As a general rule, I think there is always interest in a multi table tournament. I would be willing to go to Guelph for a game, just as long as the prizes were worth the trip.

I would also be careful on the expenses aspect of the tournament. In the past it has caused some heated debates. I am not commenting one way or the other about them, just be warned.

I like to see anywhere from $20 - $100 NL tournaments. I am a fan of freezeouts but I understand why others like re-buys and such. Look around the site at other structures and see which ones are popular. That should help.

PUNKY:

You might want to PM 'Yorkpoker'. He wants someone in Guelph to set up and run tournaments for/in conjunction with him, I believe. I don't know the details, again, best to PM him if you're interested.

I'd be interested...I like freeze-outs, anywhere between 50 and 200.

I know that West Side Poker Club has booked a hall in Guelph for March 26th. All the details will be posted next week. (When I get back from my golf trip). I should point out that the cost is 50.00 plus 10.00. Open to everyone.

I live in Guelph and would be interested in playing. Freeze outs between $25 and $100 ideal, but open to other formats. Look forward to hearing more!

Guelph is definitely worth the trip for a tourney such as this. $50 to $200 would spark lots of interest from me and a flock of others from the Kitchener and Cambridge area. Keep us posted and I can help spread the word.

Thanks

There's a tourney on Saturday the 26th of February at 1:00 (please arrive to register before 12:30) at the Knights of Columbus. $50 plus 10. This is their second tourney, Super Bowl Sunday was the first, and it went all right. They are planning to run about one a month at the hall.

How many peopler showed up for the one on Super Bowl Sunday? How was this tourney run and is there anything that you would suggest deifferently. How was the blind stucture/ competition/ prize pool etc.

There were 32 players yesterday...top 5 were paid...there were a few glitches, but overall I would say it was fairly well run...that being said, the guy running it is a pal of mine, so perhaps I'm not being objective...I finished 9th, so was out of the money. He is planning to run one a month I think. Superbowl had 34 entries I think. Hopefully there will be more players as the word spreads, I know there was a fundraiser for a baseball team being run at the same time at the Ukranian hall, so that may have cut into the number of entrants.

Bazz,

I missed it got up for a break and came back and you were gone.
