Basically keep the tournies to 2 1/2 hours, so we can get to cash games. That's the reason for the lower stacked tournies. Start with a tournay at 8:30, finish around 11pm, then play cash until the wee hours of the morn. Sometimes not ending until close to 5 am.

SWEET! I wish I had friends that liked poker as much as I do! It's hard enough getting guys to stay until midnight...they always want to start earlier so it does not go too long...Ugh!

We've got two or three of us, that as long as someone is willing to stay we'll keep playing. I'm very used to getting 3 hours of sleep on a friday night and walking around like a zombie on saturday...if I'm lucky we'll play saturday night too.

Games typically go to about 3am, but will vary. Earliest is 2 am, latest ...not sure yet.

If Guinness is drinking and has plenty of cash, we can go all night. Matthew usually has something going on saturday morn so he usually is out at 2 am...me, I'm as much of a degenerate as I can get. If I'm up I'll play forever, if I'm not playing well or the cards just aren't there, I still stay late...I've got issues. Though I tend to make decent late night comebacks.

I would probably be the same way...although I don't like to lose money and I don't have a ton to lose, so hopefully I would be on the winning side of things! I just love playing...if there was some way to keep the same intensity and quality of play with out having to play for cash, I would definitely do it!

Only problem is, as soon as we start just playing to play, people quit playing like they would or should since it doesn't matter if they go broke.

We play small stakes, .25/.50 or .50/$1, so $80 - $150 will do you....and on a good night $20 will be more than enough...have'nt had one of thoise nights in a few weeks. Takes decent cards from the get go. I usually lose the first $20 or $40 then gain it all bak and then start stacking....unless I get cold decked..

good point, I never play cash games, we always do tourney. But I'm thinking that I want to keep some of the day green t-molds to start a cash game set so we can start playing some cash games.

I'm thinking if we play a $.05/$.10 game, $20 maybe even $10 would go a long way. For as much as we play (hardly at all), I would not be opposed to jumping it to $50 or so!

We've had the same weekly game now for years, probably only 4 fridays an entire year the game isn't on. I've only been in the game for two years, it's been going for about 7 years or so...

[smitty007]

man that's sweet! I have to find some way to brain wash all of my friends into thinking the same way!

Sounds a lot like my regular game, every Friday for a little over 7 years. Only about 3 of us are left from the original group but we have a core group of 10-12 now but we have recently picked up a few new players and the last few weeks have had 16 players in the tournament and 2 cash tables running after the tourney... 4-5am is not unusual and we have played as late as 10am before. I recently got a set of Solid Wall customs for my tourney set but I REALLY want to get HS T-molds. (25 - green, 100 - lt blue, 500 - royal red?, 1000 - yellow, 5000 - gray, maybe)

I can never understand people who want to leave\quit a game. As long as my body can take it, I can play weeeee mornin'. I'll be at Foxwoods all day Saturday...wife is meeting up with me at night for dinner and stuff...once I give her lovin and put her to bed...I'm riiiight back down at the 5/10 NL table....assuming I still have a bankroll I will play until the wife gets up Sunday to drive me home. zzzzZZZZZZZZZ
