The **Official** I Endorse Dave Ballou Thread

Look I'm not the slightest bit interested in yours and Jason's pet names for each other ok?

Haha, she thought I said "Pasty"... (of course, we've used those before, but they're not my favorite. FYI, saliva, no matter how thick and sweet, will not make them stick.)

I'll also add that I'm willing to pick anybody up on my way there. Between Davis County and Jordan Landing. I really want more Jazzfanzers there.

Let me also add that I will pick up anyone from Utah County to W.J., and I'm more than happy to drive any of your drunk Ute fans home after the fact.

I'm bringing my A game, and this time I'm going to sleep more than 6 hours in 4 days to prepare. No charity $20 this Friday.

Wow. Excuses already? Pretty weak, bro.
 
What's the guest list lookin like?

Okay, hopefully no one wants to keep their poker habit confidential. If so let me know and I'll remove you from the list.

Seriously, if you're on the fence get in on this. How else you gonna meet all these awesome posters? Poker skills are not required, this is for fun and to help support Dave's campaign.

A few additional details about the game:

$20buy-in
rebuys allowed for the first 90min. (meaning that if you lose all your chips you can keep playing...unless you don't want to)

PKM is sending a mystery package for the get together in addition to a large donation to the campaign.

I will have my award winning YES English style pale ale on tap for guests to try as well as my 1st attempt at an American style pale ale.
Drink responsibly and have a designated driver.

I will be acting as a non-playing tournament director and designated dealer. I will be able to help newer, less experienced players within reason (to explain the situation/rules during a hand and to give advice between hands).
 
Wow. Excuses already? Pretty weak, bro.

If you think my threats of taking your charity game by storm and rubbing it in by doing this while impossibly wasted is making excuses, well, maybe you should consider running for something a little more fitting such as the PTA's head lunch lady fill in.

I'll even tell you who's dreams I'm going to crush first. In order: orangebitch, bitchonjazz, Ms. Jason's Bitch, and finally Bitch-L. Newbs ain't got no skillz.

Hey frank, you gonna take a shot of red stagg with me?
 
We should come up with a fun way for the kids at home to play along. Fantasy poker anyone?

Nobody should pick me
I don't plan on winning.

I'm only coming for the lolz and the drinks..... just good times for me

And I don't know **** about playing poker
 
Simplest way to do it would be to find 5 posters that want to play in the "poker fantasy game" then we would have a 2 round draft where each poster selects 2 jazzfanzers that will be playing in the tourney.

Most points accumulated by your two poker players (according to the formula we used in the past) wins.

I dunno if anyone would want to do it, but I would be curious to see who gets drafted first :)

Okay, now we need 5 posters.

Ready, set, go...
 
And by show of hands, how many people are interested in the high hand of the night thing. Let me add a couple of details in case it's confusing.

First, it's sort of a way to add action for people who are looking for more action.

Here's how it will work.

Only those who want in will have their high hand count.

In order for your hand to be eligible it must either take the pot and be shown to the table or be shown at the showdown. Either way it is your responsibility to bring the hand to my attention before the next hand. If your hand is shown at the showdown but is beaten by a non participating player it is still eligible.

If you fold the hand it is not eligible.

You only need to bring the hand to my attention if it beats the current high hand.

If you have the high hand but leave before the tournament is finished you will still win the pool. I will contact you to make arrangements.

Make sense? Sound like fun?
 
No Devin, GF?

No, I emailed him but haven't heard back.

On that subject, unless there are two volunteers to deal (and play...or someone who wants to come and deal and not play) it'll be players deal until it's down to one table. I want things to be as even as possible between the tables so I can't be a non-playing dealer on one and have rotating players deal on the other.
