NEW STRUCTURE IS COMPLETE: Rules Update!
After careful consideration and consultation, I’ve decided to move in a slightly different direction with the structure of our games. This is one step in an ongoing process. As we move forward, I’ll continue making adjustments based on feedback and information gathered from you—the players—as well as our dealers, tournament hosts, and venue partners.
The ultimate goal behind these changes is simple: to provide a true opportunity to learn the game of poker

Councilman's Corner -Ep. 3-How to Defend the Big Blind Like a Pro: Lessons From Daniel Negreanu, a Review.

We Have a Winner!!
On Sunday, November 23, 49 players converged on The Bonfire to support a worthy cause.
5 full tables, with shenanigans to be had. It was a full four-and-a-half hour event that involved a high hand, First-Out, suck-outs, and bad beats galore. We also just had a great time, enjoying each others company and laughing to whole way though.
