***The OcUK Brand Spanking New Poker Tournament - Details now in first post***

[Gilly]

The forum admins influence doesn't extend to Royal City Poker, it's up to the participants if there's a buy in or not.

Except this and any subsequent thread will disappear if there's a buy-in involved.

We've discussed it before and a buy-in just wont happen!

No, you shouldnt be playing at all if your playing with money you cant afford to lose. Yes its a game and yes it fun, but i cant sit down at a $50 NL cash game and play my normal game simply because its way below my bank roll and i wouldnt be bothered about losing my stack time and time again.

Playing for money just means there might be a bit of skill involved rather than a complete free for all.

 

[Bigpops]

I'm in. Unless it's on a Friday.

 

[Matt]

I'll play

It'll get me away from my revision for a bit at least!

 

[yak.h'cir]

I'm up for a bit of the action! Maybe there could be a prize, like access to the speak easy for one evening?

 

[_dogma_]

Would love to, I haven't played poker in ages

 

[MR_Punk]

Ive been trying to think of free prizes and the only one thats feasable could be some posts for the winners, eg:

1st: 1000
2nd: 500
3rd: 250

or is that a crazy idea?

That only works if you place any kind of value on internet forum posts, which of course is ludicrous.

Can a don please confirm this please? Just seems a bit pointless if there is nothing at stake for playing a couple of hours. Does anyone else agree?

Thats what the decision has already been.

I don't see the point in asking the question every time this comes around.

They already did

You may, but the forum admins don't, so it'll be free/play for fun then.

I'm up for this, provided its for free.

Can't understand this obsession with money, I'm much more interested in the challenge of the game, trying to pick up peoples tactics and such like.

I think everyone agrees that removing the stakes you rip the heart out of Poker. Yes it's still the same game but you're just going through the motions with no ultimate prize, like womens football.

cus a hell of a lot of people play like idiots when its play money taking the fun and skill away from it.

if people are gonna lost money from it, they are gonna care about it and try and play their best

I'm up for it, Haven't played poker in ages.

Only if it is after this saturday though.

 

[The_Judge]

Poker doesnt work unless you're playing for prizes/money. If you play for fun there will be no tactics, skill or enjoyment.
