So far we&#8217;ve played exclusively tournaments. However, I had a reet good night on a Dusk Till Dawn cash table recently, so I&#8217;m proposing the BBBG. Here are the details:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The table will open at 8:30pm on Thursday\u00a04th October. It will be a 9-handed table.<\/li>\n<li>The blinds will be $0.25\/$0.50. The game is No Limit Hold &#8217;em.<\/li>\n<li>The minimum buy-in is $20, the max you can sit down with is $50.<\/li>\n<li>It&#8217;s going to hopefully be a fun game, but it will also be a\u00a0decently serious one. As such I&#8217;m promising to have $100 behind me as two $50 stacks. I will stay at the table until I&#8217;ve played through all my money, 11pm rolls round, or it&#8217;s been me and just one other person or\u00a0fewer for ten minutes. I might even stay longer depending on fun levels. You can rest assured I won&#8217;t be soft playing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some of you won&#8217;t have played at the cash tables before. The main differences are the stakes don&#8217;t change throughout the night and as such people tend to play a wider range of hands. A small proportion of\u00a0each pot is taken out as house fee. Most importantly, the chips in front of you represent actual cash, and you can join (if there&#8217;s room) or\u00a0leave the table at any time (although you can&#8217;t leave and come back with less than you took off). You can add chips to make your stack up $50 at any time.<\/p>\n<p>Have fun but play sensibly!<\/p>\n<p>You will need to be a member of the Pokerstars Bother&#8217;s Bar Poker Group to play.<\/p>\n<p>Joining the club is easy:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; If you don\u2019t already have it, download the free PokerStars software from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pokerstars.com\/\">www.pokerstars.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Open the main poker lobby, then click on the Home Games tab<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Click the \u2018Join a Poker Club\u2019 button<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Enter my Club ID number: <strong>466738<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Enter my Invitation Code: <strong>onlyconnect<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Good luck, I hope to win lots of your money on the tables.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OK, it&#8217;s time to announce Bother&#8217;s Bar&#8217;s next big poker event.
