Default Don\'t Be Idiots...Make it Worth Their While

I'm PO'd due to the fact that a bar that hosts a free tourney is not going to do it next year because noone is ordering drinks.

Now we're talking about a tourney where there are no cash prizes...just free food and the like for the top few. Basicaly a waste of time, except for the fact I enjoy live poker without the 3.5 hour drive.

I know the type...wannabe "internet pros" who refuse to be unprofessional and drink "because it's -EV."

Gime a break! So what if you $2.00 equity drops to $1.70 cause you had a few beers...isn't it worth it to keep the game going? I'm not saying to drink if you don't enjoy it, just be considerate of the host (a bar) and make it worth their while to host it!

Okay, done ranting.

Heh there is a bunch of Bars in Scranton Pa who have these things. I believe that the owners do good on the alcohol sales but they would do so much better if the police did not sit in the parking lot across the street on nights of the tournaments. (Should be entrapment)

There is way too much pressure being put on us Drunk Driver's these days.
