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

[Garland]

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!
