Battle of the Bay V (annual...er...now semi-annual 2+2 gathering)
 

Happy New Years everyone in the San Francisco Bay Area!

Can't believe it's already been three years since the first "Battle of the Bay", and time is fast approaching for another. Usually this event occurs in March on a Saturday from afternoon until sometime around midnight. Suggestions are appreciated. If you want to participate, please reply to this post with the following:

(a) Which Saturday in March is most convenient?
(b) Do you have a house to host the game? If so, where is it?
(c) Do you have a poker table you could bring?

Most everyone has poker chips. Perhaps someone has a workable program to run a tournament.

For anyone new, the stakes are friendly small ($1/$2 ish range) with a $50 buy-in no-limit tournament at the end. The game of choice is usually no-limit cash game, but we’ve had a table of mixed games and some limit hold em’ in the past.

We have had attendances numbers ranging from mid-teens to mid-twenties. The last two times, Sossman in Fremont was kind enough to let us use his home for the games. I don't know if he would be willing to do it again or if there is another potential venue out there.

Eventually, I’ll be PMing for e-mails so an Evite can be constructed. It’s still some time away, and my box needs cleaning out. Let the discussion begin!

I enjoyed handing my money over to you guys last time, especially in the mixed game. Wouldn't mind doing it again if the amount stays roughly the same.

a) won't know until March, and still hoping to get stupid lucky enough to make it into the Shooting Stars
b) no, tiny apartment
c) no table either

Re: Battle of the Bay V (annual...er...now semi-annual 2+2 gathering)
 

Wow, how strange. I never come to this forum except for BotB stuff. I was just coming in here to make a proposal for the next BotB.

I want to do a big supersat for the Shooting Star. I'm going to make a new post.

Hopefully not the 3rd Saturday. That's our 2007 WSOP Prelim Event Tourney League here in Tracy.

If it's any other Saturday, I can bring chairs and a table if necessary again.

did you see the supersat post further down?

Re: Battle of the Bay V (annual...er...now semi-annual 2+2 gathering)
 

I would be interested in attending. At the moment I don't have any problems with whatever date is chosen. Can't help with the facilities, or supplies. The only thing I can bring to the game is cash, and beer.

Re: Battle of the Bay V (annual...er...now semi-annual 2+2 gathering)
 

I can bring Glocks, but I won't have enough for everyone.

Re: Battle of the Bay V (annual...er...now semi-annual 2+2 gathering)
 

I'm down. Don't have a big enough place to play, or any glocks, but I can show up!

Re: Battle of the Bay V (annual...er...now semi-annual 2+2 gathering)
 

If its during my spring break I would possibly play (Around March 23rd I believe but not positive). But only if i get to keep a glock

Re: Battle of the Bay V (annual...er...now semi-annual 2+2 gathering)
 

Hey, this sounds really fun, I've never met up w/ any 2p2ers before.

I have a nice 8 person, padded rails w/ cupholders table I could bring. Please put me on any mailing list or evite list. Thanks.

Re: Battle of the Bay V (annual...er...now semi-annual 2+2 gathering)
 

I am in once again. I can bring the chips from last time again. And I have a table if someone wants to pick me up cause I dont got a car that fits a table.

Re: Battle of the Bay V (annual...er...now semi-annual 2+2 gathering)
 

Count me in too. I can also bring my big case of chips.

Re: Battle of the Bay V (annual...er...now semi-annual 2+2 gathering)
 

I'm up for anything as well. Sign me up.

Tysen

Re: Battle of the Bay V (annual...er...now semi-annual 2+2 gathering)
 

I'm interested and can bring my table.

Any weekend except the 1st weekend of Feb and the last weekend of March for me.

Re: Battle of the Bay V (annual...er...now semi-annual 2+2 gathering)
 

Sure, I'll play. Can't host, but can probably transport a folding table.

PMs sent...more details
 

Informal *bump* for this thread. Additional info:

I have sent PMs to everyone on this thread so far requesting e-mail addresses.

If you want to be included, please PM me your e-mail address to be added to the Evite list.

If you know any Bay Area 2+2ers who aren't aware of this thread, please direct them here.

The date is still to be determined and probably to be worked around Shooting Stars.

The host situation is still uncertain. Sossman has hosted the last two in Fremont, and I'm not sure if he wants to do it again if it can be helped. I'm talking with another prospective host who lives in San Mateo, but he's not certain if he can do it or not yet.

Garland

Re: PMs sent...more details
 

I know a Fremont non-posting 2+2er who hosts events. I'll direct him to this thread.

Re: PMs sent...more details
 

very cool that people are still into this.

BTW what ever happened with that shooting stars sat?

Re: Battle of the Bay V (annual...er...now semi-annual 2+2 gathering)
 

i would be interested in this.

Battle of the Bay V, February 24th, 2007
 

- Sossman will be the host (again). His house is in Fremont. A big thanks for him doing this for the 3rd consecutive time. He has selected Saturday, February 24th, 2007 as the meet date.

- Sossman will create an Evite and send it out soon. On the Evite will be the address, directions and start time (usually starts around 3PM, IIRC)

- From here on out, please direct all PMs to Sossman with your e-mail address if you wish to be added to the Evite list.

Thank you,

Garland

Thanks Sossman!!! I'd host but no one wants to drive to Tracy. I'll be there. Let me know if I need to bring anything, ie. table, chairs, hookers, etc.

not enough interest so I shitcanned it.

Re: PMs sent...more details
 

I will be there, I can bring chips again, since I know you all love the Plaques and Octagons...

I do still have a table, in case anyone wants to pick me up who can transport it.

Can I bring my wife? She likes to play, but we cannot get a regular game anymore, and she would probably have a good time.

Re: Battle of the Bay V, February 24th, 2007
 

id like to get in this. Also we have a house in Daly City that we play at fridays. We got 4 tables there. Also i have a table and we have games every saturday( .50-$1 nl but thinking of raising to 1-2 cuz the game is playing to big.)

Re: PMs sent...more details

I think we'll be okay on the tables for now, but let me see how many more people respond to the evite.

Re: Battle of the Bay V, February 24th, 2007

PM Sent.

Re: Battle of the Bay V, February 24th, 2007

Contact Sossman with your e-mail address to get added on the Evite. This Evite will show the number of people (also who is) attending and it's up-to-date.

Politely e-mail or PM Sossman if it's ok to bring x people. I think this number is dependent on how many 2+2ers accept. As Sossman is the host, it is totally up to him.

I'm going to cap it at 30. I think we have just shy of 20 right now.

Re: Battle of the Bay V, February 24th, 2007
 

I sent a PM... i should be able to go if no work issues come up (im on call). Never met any 2+2'ers before, sounds like fun. I hope we get a limit game going [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: Battle of the Bay V, February 24th, 2007
 

Ok, I worked out my schedule. I already changed my reply on the evite, and I'll be there.

You guys want a limit game, then there will be a limit game. Last time we played a mix game, but I am not sure how well that goes over

Re: Battle of the Bay V, February 24th, 2007

Re: Battle of the Bay V, February 24th, 2007
 

bump for this saturday.

Re: Battle of the Bay V, February 24th, 2007
 

Andrew,

Silly questions from a first timer:

Do you need us to bring chairs or do you have enough to cover?

Do you want us there promptly at 4pm for tourney purposes?
