The Brawl is private no more

The official post...

After a good solid run of nine months, the Bmore's Brawl (as a private tourney) will cease to exist.

Starting next week, I will open the tourney up to the public.

This is good for the Brawl. It served it's initial purpose. I wanted to have a tourney in which all the old school grinders could meet up each week and take flops with each other if they wanted to. I think we had some great tourneys and it was a blast.

However, participation is down, and I need to open this up to the public to keep it going.

Everything else will remain the same. And who knows, the public may never get interested in the Brawl. I've got to give it a shot though, as I like hosting the tourney every week.

The next Brawl will be:

Wednesday, October 8th @ 9:00pm EST
Full Tilt Poker, password = omrounders

See you there..

Damn Donkeys,

Bmore

thebmorekid takes down Brawl #38

Yeah, I know...

I slacked off. The last Brawl I posted results for was #33. Unfortunately, the Brawl as a private tourney hasn't been able to keep momentum by itself. I should be happy, it's outlasted The Horsey Ride, and Rocco's Rumble...

It's tough keeping the tournament private. On the one hand, you want to have an event once a week where all of your friends can get together and play each other. It's fun. We've got grinders all over the states at this point. I never counted up the states represented, but there was a lot.

Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, New York, Missouri, Las Vegas, California, North Carolina...

So yeah, it was great. We were able to catch up with each week with guys who used to play in our home games. These were guys that we were used to seeing once a week across the table. For one reason or another, they had relocated, and we handn't played cards with them in months.

For the first couple of weeks we were rolling. I think our attendance record was around 35. Very very fun. And then, who knows?

FTP accounts went busto...
Wives started complaining that they were playing poker again every week...
Dart leagues...
I forgot...
FTP is NOT random...
House game got robbed...
New live game on Wednesdays...

We started dwindling down, but we were still seeing 15-20 guys, and I was fine with that. I noticed that when I didn't have time to send the reminder email, the count would drop a bunch. Even though it was always on a Wednesday. Always at 9pm EST. Always the same password.

I don't know. It doesn't matter. It was fun while it lasted, but it's tough to keep the momentum going when I restrict the tourney by making it private.

With that said, I think I'm going to make a post right now officially opening the Bmore's Brawl up to the world...

Damn Donkeys,
