Gaag Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Who was the guy I papped out in like the first or second hand? He had a 3-7 straight and was convinced he'd won, even when I turned over a nut flush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaag Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Enjoyed the night. I was thinking, how about arranging a team match with 6 players from each team. £20 buy in, £10 goes to the trust and the rest to the prize pot? The teams could be like: MST/SteelmenOnline Select MFC Select (players, management, staff etc) Jack Daniels Team etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzie Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Sounds like a plan. Might be able to stick an FPC team in if there's interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaag Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Well I know for sure JD's and here could get a team together. So, if we got a club team and one from FPC that'd be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uraclown Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Personally not so sure that it would work. the reasons being you have £20 buy-in, £10 goes to MST, JD's takes 20% of the pot for staging it, leaving £8 per head. If you manage to get 4 teams of 6 then thats a total pot of £192 split into say 3 prizes. so whatever way you split the pot its not exactly enticing is it, unless most folk just like to play for playing sake and don't mind that the payout is relatively low compared to the buy-in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaag Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 well it was just an initial thought, it could always be tweaked. Maybe play for a trophy and a prize... like corporate hospitality for the winning team or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC'd Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Sounds a good plan Gaag. Would certainly be interested in getting a team together. May struggle to fill the full 6 spaces. Dont know that many people that play Poker you see (of any sort of standard). But, if say we limited it to 4 per group. And had a fast blind structure so that games didn't take too long. And could perhaps vary the format e.g. a series of heads-up matches between teams, 6-max tables, and full tables. Basically just mixing it round. And with quick blinds it works as a Round Robin format. I am sure officepoker.net (based in Edinburgh) do it something similar to what I have mentioned. And with only 4 per group, the winnings per head increase (only slightly mind you). Whatever the decision, gimme a shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaag Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Be really cool if we could get something like this on the go. If it's a success we could make it an annual thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForthThistle Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Guy's. I know the guy who runs Office Poker. But to be fair they will take a fee. Im sure we could get a format sorted amonst ourselves and increase the prizepool that can be won. Let me know if you need help. I am more than willing to help out.

rab_mackinnon Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Sounds good i play for the Motherwell phoenix which play in the old zoom kits which we got from the club a few years back. A few of our guys play poker not all well supporters but nobody's perfect i could see if i could get a team together as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaag Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 sounds good man. This could be a goer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzie Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 To be fair, the Trust didn't run the last Poker Night for profit (only £60 made!) and if something like what you're suggesting was to take off, it would make more sense Colin running it from the pub, so the Trust would be happy to try to get a team together for it but it doesn't make sense for us to get the profits. Would just be a coming together of Motherwell fans groups in a Motherwell fans' pub! I'll come along for the banter and a few pints as I haven't a clue about poker! With my limitted knowledge, I'd suggest a buy-in of £20 per head, with a fiver of that going to Colin and the rest to the prize pot. Surely that would keep everyone happy? Edit: Or even Colin could take his usual 20%, and another 20% could go towards a wee trophy for the winning team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaag Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 i don't know colin other than askin for a lager! Anyone want to sound him out for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedie Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 o the Trust would be happy to try to get a team together for it but it doesn't make sense for us to get the profits. Though I would say that members of the Trust are more than welcome to use us to help promote it. It's not just Trust board members that can get involved in putting events on.

Frazzie Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 I was suggesting the MST team would be made up of Trust members, not just board members. We've only got three folk on the board who have ever played poker before. Gaag - I don't mind saying to him. What day of the week suits folk? Should we make it co-incide with a Champions League game again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedie Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 I was suggesting the MST team would be made up of Trust members, not just board members. Absolutely, cause that would lead to a papping. My point was more that 'Trust' events can be ran by non-board members. For example, Davie Tonner ran the Fives for a good few years.

Gaag Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Sounds good. A champions league night would be fine, or a fri/sat night for the weekend... but they're probably out of the question due to other things. Team games are quality, would be an interesting twist to the night. Our team if they can make it would be picked from: Me, DC, Highland, ForthThistle, Claret&Amber, Robyn, Gazzy B etc... we could maybe put in a SO1 and SO2 team like the Olympics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC'd Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Yeah, the logistics of getting one set up for a Fri/Sat would seem unlikely. And as such I'd have to give it a miss. If it were to be arranged for Fri-Sun then I'd be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DosserJoe Posted February 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Aye sounds no a bad idea at all guys and I would be up fer it. I reckon if you pick the right night for it, Colin would do it for next to nowt. He probably makes enough from folk buying bevvy to justify it.
