Why aren't YOU there.....


Well, there was another Open and Horse game last night, and special thanks go out to all of those that took the time to come out and join in on the fun. It was great to see one of our best supporters Donkette, out as usual. We were also joined by muhctim, (wish I knew the link!) Katitude and KingofKings. As always, my boy PUSH showed up for some of the best chat going on the intertubles. A very special guest showed up for the HORSE game, and it's obvious she's fast becoming not just my, but everyone's favorite Blogger Crush. Of course all the regular Tuckfards were out for the games as well and it's always a blast laying a beating on each other whenever we get the chance to do so. After 20 weeks of being a team, beating on each other is even betterer!

I've been struggling a bit however, with the small crowds showing up for the games. I remember when Nutzy and brudder Carson came up with the idea, my first thought was GREAT! A game that is available for the "right" coasters that doesn't run on until the wee hours of the morning. Then there's the $3.50 entry fee with the knock-out bonus. Seemed to me anyways, that this would be an affordable game and fun format for anyone to not only be able to join in on, but to want to come out and have fun at.

After Al dropped by a couple of times, we started up a HORSE game to compliment The Open and shake things up a little. Unfortunately, it's getting even smaller fields than The NLHE Open. It's the same great $3.50 to enter, and it's starts just an hour after The Open, at 8:00pm. I figured the HORSE would actually be more popular than the regular NLHE game but surprisingly, the fields are just not building up the way I'd like them to.

I know everyone that plays in these games and I know they all have a great time. I know the price is reasonable and that adding the knock-out to the format makes it even more fun to bust out your friends. And I know from my own personal experiences, that the timing allows for both games to be completed before the much more serious MATH event at 10:00pm for the more serious of players. So what I can't figure out is, why are the fields always so small? I mean, these games are not quite as relaxing as The Donkament, but NOTHING ever will be! They're not quite as serious and competitive as the BBT3 either, but there's already been over $40,000+ handed out in those games, and that can't be taken too lightly for sure. Hell, it's only at the halfway point too!

So, here's a couple of events where a small group of core players can really be themselves and have a great time joking around. The play is good, the price is cheap and the camaraderie is exceptional. Sounds like an old-school blogger event to me?

I can only think of one reason, why our fields aren't growing as they should be!

Obviously word is just not getting out to enough players, that a fun group of bloggers are holding the games in the first place! So my mission is clear! I need to spread the word as best I can about them, all this week!

So.....

If NLHE with a knock-out bonus is your cup of Tea,

The TuckFard Open on FullTilt starts every Monday night, @ 7:00pm. EST
Cost : $3.50

If HORSE is more appealing to your inner gambling demons,

The TuckFard II on FullTilt starts every Monday night, @ 8:00pm. EST
Cost : $3.50
Password : Donkey

Come on out!

My sincerest thanks for dropping by....

I think its the timing. You can't please everyone as people on the "left" coast would be hard pressed to play with 4pm and 5pm starts.

And those of us with little ones don't log on until 8 or 9.

Well, hon, it probably also doesn't help that tons of folks are already feeling a bit burnt out from all of the BBT3 madness.

Hopefully after the dust settles on that one, you'll get better crowds :-)
