Re: Poker Night 2!!
 

I’ll offer again Pete, Put me down hopefully this time I’ll get there. Watching Poker being play on Channel 5 now, but I have to admit I’m still clueless.

Re: Poker Night 2!!
 

I am saying nowt this time until closer to the date... I hate letting people down but was stuck in London for most of last week.... I paid my tenner of course :) but still not right to let Pete down... So my intentions are to go but dont even pencil me in until closer (Thats presuming theres any spaces left missus?)

Re: Poker Night 2!!
 

Cheer's Pete. I think I’ll like this game, I did watch it on the box last night but I’ll need to play it to understand it properly. I notice that they do Gaming Sets. Can anyone recommend a good one that I can use to practice with against the family, happy to spend between 20 – 50 quid for a good one, better still if one comes with CD or DVD.

Re: Poker Night 2!!
 

there are quite a few dvd interactive game versions about, argos do a good selection of different sets but you need to get a set with a dealer button and big and small blind buttons, also one with a 'green baise' table mat makes it feel more authentic!!! The ones we used for the poker night weren't that expensive you sould be able to pick a similar one up for around £10.

Also to note you are aloud silly hats and glasses and mascots and things aswell!!!

Re: Poker Night 2!!
 

Cheer's Sparky I'll take a look.

Re: Poker Night 2!!
 

how about extending the theme and having a casino night some time?

I have never understood cards and am not about to try, but spending all night around a craps table or on the roulette wheel would be more appealing. Would probably draw more punters and spectators than just a card game.

Re: Poker Night 2!!
 

Sounds a good idea MWAG

Re: Poker Night 2!!
 

We are still looking for players remeber there's prize money up for grabs.

Re: Poker Night 2!!
 

Alright geez, still places available? Put me down for 2 if there is, confirm. Whats the prizes/places etc????

Re: Poker Night 2!!
 

hello???

yay, nay????

Re: Poker Night 2!!
 

calm down flower, good things come to those who wait...

Re: Poker Night 2!!
 

Staveros, I have pm'd you all the details mate!

Re: Poker Night 2!!
 

Good suggestion from Macca. there making it a casino night,
Someone was telling me the other week that there is a company that runs them.
Apperently about a thousand pounds to do it, (100 people x ten pounds to cover cost) you buy fake money to gamble with, have auction at end of night of anygoods you can scrounge from whatever companies, can only bid with fake money however can still by more if you want to bid. Put on spud pie supper available to buy as well to make extra.

Re: Poker Night 2!!
 

The sugestion of making it a 'casino' night is a good one, however the costs etc are high and the whole idea is to make money for ASFC.

I think we would struggle to get 100 people to a casino night and even if we managed that we would only be able to cover our costs therefore negating any fundraising oportunities.

Upto press there are 22 players attending the poker night,and even with the prize money taken off we are making £120 for the club, as this is going to be a monthly night, assuming that everyone returns each month, that would mean £1340 bieng donated to the club.

Granted not everyone will be able to or indeed wish to attend every month, however the first event only attracted 12 players and already we are on the way to filling this months, I dont see too much difficulty in filling seats in the coming months!

Please dont think I am dismissing Maccas idea, far from it, its just that the initial outlay would be very high with no guarantee of recouping it, that said I will hapilly mention it at the next supporters club meeting and see what the general feeling is.

In the meantime how about you join us on the 30th Macca/Borderman,who knows you might even win..............:)

Sorry Ukcowboy can't make it on the 30Th other plans prevail.
I know the cost is high, you would need to attract business people to fill spaces(asfc sponsors? perhaps), A tenner a head is not really that steep of an entrance fee in this day and age, but obviosly you would need at least 100 to cover the initial outlay.
I accept all your comments and agree with you entirely, please by all means bring it up at next sup/club meeting however from past experience the chairman and Mr Heap will not even consider it.

Re: Poker Night 2!!
 

lol my man I understand where you are coming from!! I think though you may have given me an idea with your comment about 'sposorship'.............not promising anything but leave it with me.

Re: Poker Night 2!!
 

I'll play

I'll lose

but I'll play!:D

Re: Poker Night 2!!
 

could easily set up the casino night even using one of the smaller versions which are available in the shops of things like roulette

Re: Poker Night 2!!
 

Good on ya Jase, will put your name on list tonight a sup. meeting.

Pete

Re: Poker Night 2!!
 

Well I cant believe the response guys,n, gals, brilliant!! :) :)

All 24 places have now been allocated, however please feel free to come along on the night just incase some cant make it at short notice, the bar will be open and the atmosphere, if last time was any indicator, should be great.

Thanks to all who have supported the evening and may the best (luckiest!) person win!!


See you all on the 30th!!

Pete

Re: Poker Night 2!!
 

if there is still a place ill see you sunday.

Re: Poker Night 2!!
 

Steve I have pmd you the details.............see you Sunday

Pete

Re: Poker Night 2!!
 

Well Ladies and Gents, it looks like we are gonna have a full tourney this Sunday, so it would be great if anyone fancies popping in for a pint and to cheer thier mates on, it can only add to the atmosphere!!

Doors open at 7 and tables open approx 7.45....................bar open till END of play (thx Rob!!).

Hope to see you there.

Pete

PS
Thanks again for the support.

Re: Poker Night 2!!
 

Great nite boys(and girls), thanks for the game. Sometimes the cream doesn't quite rise to the top but we all know who the staveros was on this occassion....THE staveros!!! 3rd will do me OK, even if fortune didn't favour the brave this time. Nice that one of my entourage could take the main prize though. Lets have it right, we really are the boys!!!

Notice the higlighted comment though, not so!!! The staveros is a thirsty animal and unfortunately service was halted during crucial periods of play!!

Hope to see you all again next time, if you can take the gamesmanship on the chin of course!!! When pride is at stake im always serious so excuse me if I ruffled any feathers. I promise you im absolutly lovely really!! xx

First of all a big thanks to UK Cowboy, Sparkie, Rob, the bar staff and waiting on team for a great evening.

Having never played the game before i turned up last night just for a laugh, nowt to serious. I went on through to the final table and finished fourth complete with sunglasses and sombrero and won back the entrance fee a tenner...not bad at all!
