Anyone else play in it? Wondering what the structure is like. I'm thinking the schedule will be too fast...

My cousin called me about this earlier today.

Sounds like a good deal to me. Comped room for the night poker with a pro hockey team and a chance to win cool shit all for $300 buck sign me up...

[Wedge Rock]

Cheapest rack rate for a room that night is $149.

Plus, its a donation (i.e. tax write off).

One player per table to start (as time goes, that ratio obviously depends on who busts out).

300 is to steep for me on a charity game (or any tourney for that matter). Hell, I don't know a damn thing about Hockey.

You going to play Wedge?

[Wedge Rock]

Dunno. Son has FCS (Fucking Cub Scouts) that night...

You pay, and I'll play for ya. If i win, i take you on red bird 2 for the trip, or if i get second, and it's the whole suite, then you get all but 1 ticket.( if it's only a couple tickets, they're yours. Third wins you all 4 seats to the blues game and if i win a stick, it's yours. Deal? :)

I don't see how you can turn this down.

I'd love to do this.

Sadly, my wife has other plans for "our" money.

I won't. Problem solved.

This is a good idea. Wedge, you should stake a couple of us. Increase your odds of winning.

[Wedge Rock]

I could stake 108 people x $300 each... $30,000 seems like a bargain.

That's just pocket change for you..............

Peanuts in your status of Luxe.

Look, if I had your money, I'd burn mine.

[Wedge Rock]

Should I put it on a credit card or debit card?

You mean you don't have that kind of loot just laying around? I thought you were a big shot lawyer?
