Only 4 of us played in last week’s Friday tourney. I started a new thread since the title and early posts in my [other thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=354680&page=1&pp=50) are irrelevant now. Let’s see if more people can participate in a Tuesday evening private tourney for Dopers only. Here are the tourney specs: no limit holdem ten players to a table buy-in $5+.50 maximum players 50 minimum players 2 blind level speed normal payout structure normal no rebuys password is DOPE starting time is 9pm EST February 7th (Tuesday night) tourney is titled “ **JackShidt’s** ” (by default) since JackShidt is my PokerRoom username. Please register BEFORE 9pm EST or else you will be locked out. This tournament is scheduled and software is not going to wait around for X number of people to show up like in a “Sit ‘n’ Go” tourney. Again, all Dopers are welcome. You can use either PokerRoom or Hollywood Poker software to participate. I finished last among the 4 of us on Friday when **MissTake** hit her flush after I pushed my pair of aces…my fortunes can only get better from here on 🙂 . Let’s all have fun doing this… ---

I’m just glad I didn’t finish last! 😃 😉 I’ll be there tomorrow night - I just have to remember to set the VCR for Scrubs ---

I should also mention… To find the tournament, click on ‘Tournaments’ at the top right, then click the ‘Private’ tab, and the tourney will be listed as “JackShidt’s” under the ‘scheduled’ tab. ---

> [@](#): > > in PokerRoom, you first need to click “Play Now” or “Play OnLine”, you will then get a new window in which you click “tournaments” etc Good point, but let me clarify. This is true only if you are playing directly on the [PokerRoom.com](http://PokerRoom.com) website (no download required / friendly for Mac users). However, it is not true if playing on the downloaded PokerRoom software. ---

Is this a good idea? Should the Reader be promoting gambling? Freeroll is one thing but actually putting money up is another. ---

> [@Nature's Call](#): > > I like Tuesdays at 9:00. Same bat time, same bat channel? I finally funded my Pokerroom account tonight, so I should be able to play. 9:00 eastern is just a bit early. 10:00 would be good for me, but even 9:30 would work.
