Actually...... ...it was October, but if you missed it I guess then you wouldn't remember! :laugh: And besides, don't they close the UP in December with all that snow??? -Pill
I think I was there in October. They say the mind is the first thing to go! And to think, I entered this tournament!!!!!:laugh: March can be VERY questionable weatherwise in the UP, too! Billy C
Billy, you weren't at Ignace last October. That was the one where the Meskwaki (Iowa) BJT clashed with Ignace and almost all of our BJT.com friends who usually go to Ignace went to Iowa.
Oh No! I'm guessing we're thinking the same here so maybe I'll just shoot myself!:laugh::laugh::laugh: Billy C
Differences? So, what will be different this time? Last time I was there (August?) Ernie said there would be no more "pitch" events so I'm sure everything is 6 deck shoe now. Right? Still have power chip at no cost? Seems like you could surrender if dealer showed an Ace but that was the only time. Has that changed? They also had a goofy rule for split Aces whereby if you wanted a second hit on a split Ace you HAD to double it down. At least, I think I'm remembering that correctly but, of course, I thought I was there in October, too!!!!! Can someone remind me to go this Friday????? Billy C
Billy Billy, 4 deck. That goofy rule is double on split aces for table min or match bet and is a very powerfull feature. If you are not familiar with it research it Ya, surrender with ace up. CP
Saturday night Who else is up for the big BJT.com friends dinner Saturday night? So far, I know of: Schultzy The infamous ALF! BillyC Monkeysystem Creeping Panther (2) Deb & I (2) MrPill, are you and your group in? Anyone else? Crab legs and prime rib, we will be makin' one helluva mess of a mighty large table! :celebrate
Does that 2 behind my name mean you have a "Hot Babe" lined up for me? If so, I'll buy you more than one drink! Billy C
Crabs..... Count me in! Alf will be there, IF we can pull him away from all the action on the casino floor! I just need someone to give me a cocktail when we get there Friday. After NINE hours in the car with our 87-year old buddy I will need a stiff one!
I will be good and won't pounce on that remark, even though the opportunity is there......... :laugh:
We Will Be In Town Just so happens we will be in town so we might just make. I'll have to check with the group (4 of us) on the way up. -Pill
Bloodbath at Ignace First round is over, and nobody from our BJT.com family got past the two-advance tables. BillyC, Monkeysystem, Schultzy (and Alf), Deb, myself, MrPill, and others whom I can't think of at the minute. NOBODY. We watched an amazing avalanche of the clueless and the total donks make one amazing "WTF?" play after another - and advance. Rebuys are starting soon. Hope things change!
Different Story Rebuys went better. Alf, Schultzy, Mr. Pill, Leftnut, BillyC, and I all made it to Sunday. It was an amazing avalanche of skill overcoming the clueless (and a few not-so-clueless.)
