Slight chance I might be flying to Florida the week of the 15th on business. SHOULD that happen I might look into extending my trip and hopping over. Would have to check the costs of the detour but this is just too big to not at least examine the opportunity should it become possible.

Sheesh! I'm gonna have to bring an extra suitcase to get that monster home!

Boca Raton, right?

Be sure to check both West Palm Beach (PBI) and Fort Lauderdale (FLL). Boca is right in the middle, and you'll sometimes find a significant price difference when flying to the same destination from one or the other.

Yeah, Boca. Would also have to see how it would work for the return flight.

Normally I fly Tel-Aviv-Newark and then Newark-Ft. Lauderdale. If I were to detour from Florida and go directly from Florida to Chicago and then Chicago-Newark on the way back I may be theoretically able to deduct from the cost what the company would have paid for the FT Lauderdale-Newark leg on the way back. But this is all theoretical and I don't even know if I'm flying and when exactly.

Go big or go home is my motto.

Yes, I can still make them. I was going to bring it up last week but I wasn't sure if you still wanted to do them after the post about not mentioning the forums. I can start working on artwork for them. Do you want your logo on them at all? Maybe send me an e-mail/PM and we can work out the details.

The chips and trophies look great! You really go the extra mile.

Thanks! I'm hoping the weather will be super nice for the weekend and we get to play in the garage otherwise we will be in the house which will be a little cramped, so I figure I should make everything else nice.

The more I'm thinking about it the more I think the rest of the players will figure it out so let's put names and screennames on the nametags. We won't put the site. Maybe HPI 2012 and we can put the logo on it as well. You can shoot me an email with any other ideas you have if you want. Or I'll email you later this weekend if i don't hear from you before that.

Make sure my nametag is green so that I can boss everyone around all weekend.

That's fine, but I'm going to make mine orange or even red. Don't make me drop the ban hammer

A real-life banhammer could hurt...

hmmm... Same motto here jajaja... For the looks of it this is going to be a great tournament. Looking forward to playing with y'all

Let's start the side action.

1) Booked heads up last longer bets for $20 with 3 players from last nights game. ThatGuyUH8 and two home game members. Will take 2 more last longer bets for $20 each at even money. First two to claim will be booked.

2) Flipaments - Would like to organize a $20 flip with 4 other people. Flip will be done dragon style for maximum enjoyment. Winner gets the $100.

3) Tournament Share - Willing to swap up to 20% of my tournament action including bounties excluding propbets for equal share.

4) I'll lay 2-1 odds that (my $40 to your $20) that Morph3us doesn't cash. Field should be between 20-24 players and will pay top 4.


Willing to take other action as it unfolds as well.

Official invites are done through anyvite. PM me your name and email address to be added.

Less than a month away from Home Poker Invitational 2012. If you are planning on coming please RSVP sooner rather than later as I need to get an idea of how many people will be at each event so I know how much food/drinks to order since I need to do that this week. I'm also looking for a little help with some things that we are going to need.

1) Padded (very important) Folding Chairs or Banquet Chairs - 16 needed, I can get a hold of 4 if I need to, but it would be kind of inconvenient so would rather get 16 than 12

2) Does anyone have a laptop (maybe an ipad would work too?) with tournament software already loaded, if not just a laptop would work and we can use a site like Poker DIY to use as a blinds timer. My laptop broke last year and I haven't bought a new one....

3) 2+2'er Needed - Be the official photographer for the event and post up pictures. I would love to say I would do this, but I know with everything going on its not going to happen. Someone with a nice camera preferred.


Other things:
Please bring some small bills with you to each event. I will make sure to have several hundred in small bills, but as we all know how quickly they go.
Please try not to bring $50 bills. Too easy to confuse with a $20 or Hundo and they are considered by some to be bad luck.

LOL As long as I get your bounty I don't what happens.

Keep dreaming...
