Tried that recently but didn't like it as much as MSN 'Bicycle' TH Poker - does anyone here play that?
Came third in my first go at NPL the other night. Was quite happy. One thing though, do all the venues have a drink-up-for-free-credits rule like they did the other night? Call me naive but I was a bit shocked when you'd get 500 credits when you bought a drink at various times during the night. Not only did it severely compromise the game (two absolute pissheads were the last ones standing - no wonder!), but isn't it kinda socially irresponsible to openly reward heavy drinking like that I would have thought. I know the pub has to make money but geez, Nick Xenophon and his offsider would have a field day with that...
No, you can't just keep drinking to get chips.
Last season (ie just finished) you got two drink cards. Four squares on each. Each card, when full, got you $500 extra in chips.
Have to remember the pubs PAY to host the NPl tournaments.
They pay $300 plus $3 per person, I think.
So $600 up front.
The idea is more people in, meals, alcohol, pokies et al ..
For the record, I ended up 5th at the Modbury so I'm in the state finals. Mate of mine who is third (or maybe even second) at the modbury now, won two tournaments in 3 days! One at the Windsor last Friday night and one at Roulettes (with 110 people I think) on Sunday.
I'm just happy to be in the state final and the srkaba satelitte!
(I actually knocked him out last week with Pock A's)
