The News....

We've had Record Breaking turnout

for the first 2 weeks of our new season.  At 25 players per week, we are able to pay 5th place while still getting $210 up top for the winner and bagging $125 per week towards our champion prize pool.  I can't say enough about how well the club members have spread the word and grown the group organically with quality players.  Keep up the good work and feel free to forward this newsletter to anyone you think may be interested in joining.

Venmo Addresses

I am going to be absent this coming Tuesday, May 16th attending an Astros game.  Joe is usually our #2 for collecting money but he will be unavailable also.  Fret not though as Jonathan Ayala is more than happy to take your $ and distribute it accordingly.  Listed below are the Venmo addresses:

 

Michael Culpepper - @Michael-Culpepper-14

Joe Schwenk - @Joseph-Schwenk

Jonathan Ayala - Jonathan-Ayala-55

 

Zoom with us!

For the last couple years, Joe Schwenk has been kind enough to host players of our weekly freezeout on a Zoom meeting.  Some players (yours truly included) don't regularly attend the zoom meeting because of concentration issues.  However, the folks that do meet up seem to have a great time talking poker strategy, discussing hands (of course talking about your actual hand while there is someone else in the meeting that is in the hand is forbidden), and getting a feel for our fellow players and their lives adds another layer to the gamesmanship we strive for.  If you would like to join and have the zoom application, simply click on the link below:

Shay The News...  WSOP prize pool allocation: Do not covet thy neighbors points.  - 3rd commandment of the Tuesday Freezeouts. The time has come to let everyone in on final word for the prize pool distribution of the 2024 WSOP points race which wraps up after the tournament of April 30th, 2024. First, let me say that I really wanted to be able to have 2 players be able to go to Vegas for this year's WSOP.  Unfortunately, we didn't quite hit the numbers I deemed necessary to comfortably send 2 players.  Last year, we were able to

April 24th, 2024 Newsletter Cold Deck Quote: "Serious poker is no more about gambling than rock climbing is about taking risks"    - Al Alvarez The News...  Wrapping up the points race season. Winner winner tofu dinner. Firstly, I want to thank all of our players that made this season what it was..... a ton of fun.  Let's do it again as I had a blast and not just because I happened to win. I won first place and will be going to Vegas for the WSOP.  To show you my gratitude to all of our club members, I will be offering some zero markup pieces of myself in the WSOP tournaments that I will choose to play so you can sweat me from afar.  More details on this in a future newslette
