Dice Hold'em Tournament

I had a buddy?

Maybe it was Wanger Rickett's buddy...I just know that I can't remember his name.

Was he a largish asian dude?

I believe that the guy you're describing played in TU's Wednesday M&M Mars invasion game. The guy who played poker with was with him, but didn't play in that game. I think that he went and got food while we were playing in TU's game...

Oh, okay. So he was the dude who appeared to be in his early twenties and may have been on steroids but refused to drink, being underage and all?

50 dice is a lot . . . and I am bad at poker . . . but this sounds awesome. Is there any way to buy-in at less than 50?

Well, unlike you, I didn't see him naked, so I can't comment on his physical prowess...but, I think we're thinking of the same guy.

Uh, oh ... there is a lot you don't remember then.

How much (more or less) is 50 dice in this mug full of dice place? I tove poker, but i have a very limited budget...

Thursday evening (8ish) would work the best for me, since it would give me a chance to get the Pitcher O'Dice from the exhibit hall first...

If I remember, that mug-o-dice was around 5-10 bucks.

We wouldn't necessarily have to do a tourney either. We could do a sit-n-go. That's where you put some chips (er, I mean dice) on the table and play with what you have. It's your typical No Limit, so you can't lose what you don't buy in with. Anyone can start or stop at any time as long as there's room at the table.

What we did back in '04 and '05 was to have everyone start with 50 dice. The dice stand in for chips and they all have equal value. The blinds start at 1/2 and increased according to a schedule I worked out for the time slot. Everything else is run just as a typical No-Limit Texas Holdem tourney. I had a Yahoo Group set up with the rules and everything.

It gets really nuts when the blinds are up to 25/50 and you have to push all those dice around!
