ABQ Poker Tour

Let's raise the stakes at ABQPT. $20 so we don't have to worry about getting change. Buy some new table tops, chairs, and cards in the first month. Put the extra $5 a side for a big blow out at the end of the season, maybe at one of the casinos? Or save the money every two seasons and send someone, the cumulative point winner, to a $5,000 buy in at a WPT or WSOP event. All stake holder would get an equal share of winnings or nothing. Stake holders can be those who attend 20 of 26 events in each season or some number to be determined by the collective. What do you guys say?

The final table for the second half of 2010 is done!

Ok, I first need to say that our current ranking system is excellent (Ranked by: points, cash won, and then who has a better mustache).

So what's the issue?

Let me simply point out an interesting statistic that Partop has so diligently compiled for us (thanks by the way). Specifically, lets look at the "games played" column. What should stand out is Jack's 9 games played, Christi's 12 games, and to some extent Josh's 15. Ok, so they came in and dominated us.... well good for them. However, we all know that once you earn ~27 points there isn't much motivation to continue playing the rest of the season, or as many games, because you've essentially punched your ticket to the final game. Which would also mean that their donation towards the general equipment fund, final table payout, and people who host is diminished. So where am I going with this....

1. My favorite hand is when yours is holding mine
2. Have you ever gone all in with a pair of ladies before?
3. Back at my room.... The blinds don't go up until the maid comes in :)
4. I'm not in the blinds, but I want a piece of the/that action.
5. I wouldn't mind a bad beating from you
6. If I bet, will you call me?
7. Want to play heads up I’ve got chips in my room
8. What are the pot odds we’ll be waking up next to each other
9. I may not be good looking, but I'm ranked Top 20 in the country
10.I’ve got a side game going on in my pants…wanna play?
11.Can I splash my chips all over you?
12.I don't mind going in blind, as long as I'm comin' out happy :)
13.I had a flush until you stole my heart
14.I only have one move in poker and in love…and it’s all in
15.If you give me your heart I’ll give you a diamond
16.Looks like you’ve got top and bottom pair covered
17.My hand is pretty weak, can I use yours?
