Summer Shootout II

Shock Town - Saturday Sept. 2nd 2:00pm

Howdy Degenerates,

It's been another long, hot summer in this here bone orchard. Filthy first timing outlaws the likes of Marco the Machine and the Storm have been trying to run this town and take all our dinero. And there's a wild donkey named Jun on the loose, kicking up dust,  that needs to be corralled

I say that me and you and our whole possee meet up at old Shock Town, ambush these varmints and rope in this donkey! Then we'll have ourselves a good 'ole fashioned shootout and give them the beef!

Quit beatin' the devil around the stump and RSVP for this fandango.

 

The Details
Summer Shootout II will feature 4th Street Poker Tour regulars and will be the final battle ground to determine the 2006 Summer Season Champion. This major tournament event will be held this Saturday, September 2nd  at Shock Town. Start time will be a prompt 2:00pm.

Entry fee is $30 ($25 to the main pot, $5 to the Sharpshooters).

The format has been changed from the regular freezeout style tournament we play every week to a good 'ole fashioned shootout. We will not be balancing the tables, instead we will play until there is a winner at each table. Those who collect all of the chips at their table will then move on to the Final Table where they will face the other single table winners. This unique format will have all the Final Table participants starting with equal stacks.

Sharpshooters
$5 of your entry fee will go towards the Sharpshooter portion of the tournament. Similiar to a headhunter event, the Sharpshooter is the person at each table that has the best aim and outlasts the entire table. Basically, each member of the Final Table will be a Sharpshooter and will go on to split this Sharpshooter prize pool.

Seating
Another change from our regular format, the Summer Shootout will feature assigned seating. We will seat people in order of their Summer Season III points standing beginning with our season points leaders - Marco and Jun. If they're man enough to show, they'll be seated in Seat 1 at Table 1 and Seat 1 at Table 2, etc. New players (or those of you who didn't make any points this season) will be folded in when we reach the end of the list.

Shock Town
Shock G is generously opening up his home for this tournament. Word is he will also have the USC game on for those interested.

We will send directions via email once we've confirmed your seat in the game.

RSVP
You must RSVP here in order to secure a seat in the Summer Shootout II. We want to fill as many tables as possible, so we encourage you to invite anyone who would like to play.  However, priority seating will be given to people who have played on the Tour before. If you've never played on the 4SPT, please include the name of the person who invited you in your RSVP.

Because of our unique seating structure - it's really important that you RSVP by Saturday so we can have a list together.

There will be no POKER game this Thursday, August the 25th, but there will be the Marco vs. Jun Heads-Up Match to determine the SuS III winner. All are welcome to come and watch.

[Slim]

I forgot to mention, if you have a fantasy football draft scheduled for Saturday afternoon please don't plan on winning your first table.

[Drud Report]

Count me in...

[will]

I'd love to get in. Thanks.

[Ivan]

I'd love to play. Thanks... did I score any points this season?

[Storm]

Sign up this filty westside degenerate outlaw Slim.

[Most]

My draft was miraculously moved up to 10AM- in.

[Sir Fantasy]

mmm......"What you talkin 'bout Willis?"

[the cooler]

Mr G. is the keg going to be functioning at this fine event?

[Shock G]

Yes, the keg will be fully functional, as is the bar. Feel free to bring any other goodies you'd like to also, since hanging out after you bust out is mandatory this week!!

At 5pm, the USC game (not the UFC fight, that was the last party!) is on and everyone's invited to stay around, kick back and enjoy Susan yelling at the television for 3 hours! (If she's man enough to show, that is!) This is the best time all season to give her a bad beat, since her mind won't be on the cards whatsoever.
-G-

[the cooler]

why are people posting asking to play at last years shootout?

[Slim]

oops... cause one of the links is wrong. fixed.

[II-Pod]

Oh, I see...you are under the impression that it HELPS Susan when she pays attention to the cards. Although, since she never does, I guess we'll never know.

Go 'SC!

[Dave B]

It pains me to say that I won't be able to make it this weekend... good luck to all

[will (shake)]

Have you filled up or have I been left off by mistake? Is it something I said?

[Al]

Unfortunately I will not be able to defend my Shootout title this year- I made plans many moons ago to pre party and watch my Trojans elsewhere, waaaay before I knew a Major would be taking place at Shock Town the same day. Pick will be sporting a memento for all to remember me in my absence.

[Shock G]

What a rip off! Al can't defends Johnny's title?! But now Johnny's gonna wear something to re-iterate the fact that Al won as his table's 2nd-place finisher?! Hmmm....

Sure, I guess that all makes sense.
-G-

[Storm]

25 people? Where's the love for a major? And yes I do feel ripped off that last years "champ" isn't defending. Oh well, more beer for the rest of us.

Go SC

[Sir Fantasy]

Most of you know that Sir Pickster here (unwillingly and regretfully) challenged the integrity of the widely respected and highly talented institution that is The 4th St. Poker Tour in last's year's summer shootout.

For those new cats on the block, I, Sir Fantasy Football, after being interviewed by a documentary camera crew, grinded and sweated out a most fantastical and satisfying victory over a table that featured a most savy and shark/hawk-like crew: Some attending were Eastwood, Le Grimace, Shock G-world, and in a high pressured ego-intensified showdown with my poker mentor, The very skilled and patient poker vet from Boston, Al "The Alternate" (the name given b/c he would later be my replacement, alternate and WIN!) Milesky."

During my joyous victory at my table, I had to inform the King of the tour that I would be leaving to go to a fantasy football draft. He was clearly not happy because the final table match ups with the overrated Richy Rich (Who I abused in the early days), "Dino The Drunk" KCBP and Max "The Factoration" would have been intoxicating. To this day, I am unsure if The Slimmer has taken the time in his heart to forgive The Pick Man for the unfortunate predicament he was in.

ANYWAYS! Mr. Mileski, frustrated that one of his up-and-coming aprentices took him down, was ready to leave and pony up at the nearest tavern. I used my calming techniques as a therapist to proposition Al to be my representative at the final table and try to take down the tourney. I reminded him that he could still take down $400 and he seemed to perk up a bit. Using the limited business sense I have I was able to negotiate that I would receive half of the winnings for the work I had put in(a fact that must have irked the tourney director).

Which brings me to the main point of my monologue. Jeff, I am sorry. Everyone, bring your game bitches!!! This is my day of redemption. I hope the camera crew comes out to watch again because I am here to redeem the time, win my major and earn Jeff's forgiveness!!

It's PickTime at Shocktown

I know grammar police(Eliot). It is "last" year's not "Last's." Damn it!

[Ivan]

Looks like I spoke too soon. I have to work this weekend, so I will not be able to play tomorrow. Good luck everyone!

[Most]

grammar police? try brain police. While reading that post by Johnny Cakes, my right wrist involuntarily started hitting my left breast. i just lost about thirty IQ points, putting me at around 120. i don't really know whathappened.

I predct Pick is one of the first 5 players out of the game. Sir, you just doomed yourself!!
-G-

I thought I would take a page out of your obnoxiousness in your player profile. The self promotion seemed to help you, shock.

[Al]

Give Gerrit a break. Can you imagine how difficult it must be to be a gay poker player in this day and age?
