Send-off?

One of my friends in town suggested last week that I arrange a private poker tournament as a sort of farewell event. I liked the idea, but when I asked on Twitter who might attend such a thing, I got only eight affirmative responses, which I thought was not enough to go on.

So let me ask here: I'm specifically thinking of Friday, February 1, in the evening. If you live in town or will be visiting here then, would you be interested in participating in:

(A) A low buy-in private poker tournament (probably in the range of $50) somewhere on the Strip yet to be determined, likely using the casino's usual daily tournament structure (read: fast),

or,

(B) A get-together for food and/or drinks and/or other random shenanigans, most likely at Herbs and Rye on West Sahara?

Please reply via comments here, or Twitter to @PokerGrump, or email to Rakewell1 at the yahoo place (but, please, just one of those means so that I don't double-count) if the probability that you would make it is greater than 50%. (Never mind whether you responded to the earlier tweet. I'm starting the count over again with hopefully a wider audience here.) Let me know, please, if you would do one but not the other, or if you would join in either type of event.

Thanks.

I would venture to guess that there is a greater than 50% chance that I'll be there. Probably.

99% chance I can attend, and either event, or both, is fine with me.

Chris Abramski said...

90% chance of either, but I like Vixen's idea.

How about we just join the 7pm tourney at the TI and then head out for food/drinks after? Just thinking out loud...I'm game for whatever!

Unknown said...

86% chance I will be there. I'm up for both/either.

On the Strip where Tony can't play? Some friend you are!

(you'll need to stake him too).

(and pay for his cab fare).

Sorry, but I haven't really been checking Twitter lately or I would have responded sooner. I am absolutely down to participate in the Grump send off Poker Tourney! Also, I like to eat and drink so I'm in for that as well.
