ok, im floating the tentative date, 4th june, its a friday
stuff is pretty busy at uni right now so i will organise and send out pms and wat not at closer time to that date but id say pencil it in

I had a good night at crimcof's and would be keen for another. Beat - Can't do the 4th. Brag - Will be in Phuket.

Awesome. *creates an outlook calendar entry*

Deal me in! I'm free on all weekends. But where are the games? Is there someone i should PM?

Looks like our initial small home game is starting to snowball.

Depending on how the next one goes and the players that turn up, what are people's thoughts on moving the game to a different, more centralized environment, ie: a hotel room in the city.

That way we could accommodate more, but still keep it at a reasonable and managable level, like two tables at once etc...

Opinions?

Perhaps we can check the locations of the new guys, maybe we might have two home games as it seems we have people kind of scattered around the place.

Finding a location that could fit two tables would be hot. My garage is a one table kinda place though.

I agree with Crimcof, the fundamental issue with the home game is the ability to host everyone at once. Given the limited space, someone is going to miss out.

Could everyone please PM their locations to me and I'll combine a list of people and places and then we can look organize games in an area central to the majority.

PM me the following:

Name:
Location:
Preferred Game/s
Stakes

This way, even if half of the group cannot make it, the other half can still have a game as there is enough to fill a table.

That being said, I will still look to organize a larger game at a hotel room, however I see that as v3.0 of the current home game.

I don't see any reason why a regular game could be run, however the hassles with everyone being disjointed is in the communication of such a game. What I will look to do is use the list of interested people then communicate en-mass.

Cheers

hotel room seems like a good idea. if there's 20 of us, each person only has to chip in 10 bucks or so for the room

ok well.
pms have been sent to those that i could gather were interested
if i missed you or want to get involved feel free to give me a shout and i'll shoot you a pm
otherwise i look forward to rsvp and hope we have a full table but not too full haha

Hi guys, i'm new to this site and wouldn't mind playing in a home game. Is there anymore info on any upcoming ones? Location, blinds, BI, etc?

Hi, send me your details and I'll add you to the Home Game list.

Game preferance:

Cheers

I'm pretty sure i'm not allowed to use the PM system yet so i'll just post that info here:

Game preference: NLHE, PLO
Stakes: .25/.50, .50/1, 1/2
Location: Maribyrnong

This thread seems like a good a place as any to ask a question like this. Where is the best place in Melbourne to buy a really good chip set + decks of proper laminated cards? Any advice would be welcomed, cheers

depends how quality you want to get
easiest answer is get lucky on ebay, otherwise you've got to look overseas
from memory holdempokerchips.com has really nice chips, discountcasinogear.com etc
but head over to chiptalk.net they are crazy about chips over there, and they know whats what.

www.pokerworld.com.au located in footscray has some decent ones too.

www.chiptalk.net ainec

For a decent deck of cards, go on ebay and search for a set of copag or kem. Cost around $25-30

details of Friday's game has been sent
anyone who feels like they've missed out let me know before then

Wicked! Gonna be a good one.

how many runner so far spyder?

so far me, plus three others, plus three coming ~1-2 hours after scheduled start
plus any who have not replied

It'd be good for 2 or 3 other to arrive at the scheduled start time, otherwise we're gonna be playing short-handed for a few hours. (We could always play some other games for smaller stakes until we have at least 6).

Either way, I'll be there with bells on at 7.30, ready to play short handed or full-ring.

Jazz - It'd be good to finally meet you also.

Hey Claut, just sent a pm to spyder. i unfortunately am not 100% certain that i will be able to make it now as i didnt realise it was tonight till i saw the pm last night and havent organised babysitters! aargh.
so i will confirm on here and/or with spyder asap. hopefully i can get there.

if i do get there, i agree with you...4 ppl is fairly short to start.

No probs Jazz. I work close to the where spyder lives so I'm just kick about until time to go.

Good luck with the baby sitter (fingers crossed)

I'll be there, hopefully get there on time. Looking forward to it, hopefully should be a good night
