Wednesday, September 12th, 2007

Hey Poker Players,

For those of you who attended last nights event, THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

We wanted to fully explain the structure of the Sadler and Carter Poker Series for 2008:

1) We are going to hold 3 month long tournament series events, FOR FREE! 

2) We will be giving away our famous $ 1,500.00 WSOP seat at the end of each series in a FINAL TOURNAMENT. 

3) We are going to extend our FINAL TOURNAMENT to include the TOP 15 POINT EARNERS.

3) This means that we will have 12 winners and the top 15 point earners in the finals, which will give you a 1 in 27 chance at playing for your shot WINNING A SEAT IN THE WORLD SERIES OF POKER IN LAS VEGAS!

If you have further questions, please e-mail steve@sadlerandcarterpoker.com

Post-Game Information and Comments! September 11, 2007

1. Ed Mayhill * WINNER

2. James Gee

3. Glenn Petty

4. Pete Adams

8. Phil “Poker Phil” Borrero

A Final table of mostly new faces for the Sadler and Carter Poker League Series Events.   Those who have been playing in our series since inception expect that a few players, like “Durb” and “Machine Gun Jamie” to not make an impact on the tournament standings, but to have “Suck-Out” Rita posting a 6th place finish is something to write about!

My tournament was brought to an end on a suck-out, donkey, “Rainbolted”, excellent statistical card playing magician of a move by Alex Garza.  He knocked out both myself and Haley Wilson with a runner, runner flush.  I spoke malicious words of hate in my sleep, if I were Harry Potter he would be a toad now, but now I take it all back because he came in the shop just a couple hours ago and bought a 500 pc. 14gram poker chip case.   Which is why we put on these freerolls in the first place!  Thanks Alex!

Now to the business at hand:  What did we like about the new venue?  What would we like to change about the venue to make it BETTER?

Here is a few of the things WE would like to change to make it better:

1) Very WARM to say the least.  I am going to work on management to get that under control.

2) A few players mentioned slower service than expected.  *We think that is because they weren’t expecting such a large turn-out.  Now they know what to expect and should be better prepared for the next event.

3) We thought about asking for a “Food Special” along with our drink special for our weekly event.

4) Monday Night instead of Tuesday night.  Better to watch football and play in the single table events…..GO ROMO!

Here is where we are DIFFERENT from any other poker event in the nation!  WHAT DO YOU WANT TO CHANGE and WE WILL TRY TO GET IT DONE!  We have to stay within reason, but nobody has better than .777 accomplishment rating than us!

Please click on the comment tab to voice your comments.  YOU HAVE TO REGISTER AS A USER ON THE BLOG IN ORDER TO VOICE YOUR COMMENTS!  This is necessary so we can keep the PORN, LOSERS, uninvited guests off our site.

It was good to see all the familiar faces last night!  I did speak with of some of you last evening to explain how this years event will be different from years past, we are planning to move our business to another area in DFW within the next year and to ensure the ability to continue we have decided to hold the events outside the Retail Shop. 

Thanks for being friends and customers,

Ray

Cardplayer Magazine just announced becoming the official media partner for the World Poker Tour. This gives Cardplayer the exclusive rights to live tournament updates and tournament interviews. This comes only a few months after Bluff Magazine was announced as the official media partner of the WSOP. Bluff’s media coverage of the WSOP this year was pretty good, in my opinion. With the great live coverage coming from Pokernews.com one of Bluff magazines media partners.
The question that comes to mind is how does the fighting and bickering over tournament coverage help the poker community? I understand that everyone is out to make money and a little competition is a good thing but how good can the coverage be if one media source is guaranteed exclusive coverage of certain poker events. Does or does this not stop the reports/writers from trying to beat the other guy to the scoop!?!?
As many of the poker news sites and poker blogs are reporting, this is going to effect a lot of good tournament reports jobs, and in turn cost the poker community premium live coverage of the poker events.
In the words of Rodney King….“Can’t we all just get along?”
