Ignace in August - head's up!!!!!

I will not be able to attend the St. Ignace BJT in August due to other obligations that same weekend, but a thought occurred to me for the rest of you and I haven't seen anyone post the usual reminder here. Since it's in August, and this is July, and they usually open up registrations on the first of the calendar month prior to a BJT, those of you who are planning to attend should consider giving them a call ASAP. 1-800-KEWADIN.

 

Well miss you folks

I entered July 2nd.

We're in! Sorry to hear you won't make it though, hope to see you in October for another party in the pits! :celebrate

I got back in !!

Sorry to hear that you won't be thre Lefty.

Thanks to Billy C., Leftnut, Bruce and Schultzy for bringing me up to speed on pick-em. That kind of play seems to be just what they want.

From what iI have been reading here, it sounds like there are not similar machines in St. Ignace?

 

October is definitely on the radar, Deb and I simply ran into a conflict with promises we'd made in our local area.
We will really miss the big Party-in-the-Pit that always seems to happen on Sunday nights once the BJT is over. What a blast!

You are correct, Jonny21, Ignace does not have the same game. Most unfortunately, Ignace does not have any VP which is even remotely decent other than the few dollar 9/6 Jacks-or-Better games. Coupled with their perpetual shortage of Saturday night BJ dealers, I've seen many players sitting in the bar nursing drinks instead of gambling. Meskwaki used to have the same PickEm as the Soo but those were gone at their last BJT, and the action from a large number of BJT players suffered drastically because of it. :sad:

 

It's the old "greed factor"

That Pick-em game only gives the house a .05% edge (perfect play). They insist on more.

Maybe Next Time

Looks like we won't be able to make it in August, but October is a possibility. Have a great time everyone!

BTW, no one seems to have used the new "attendees" feature on the calendar to for this tournament.

 

Agreed 100%. But smart players will insist on not playing the garbage VP they have in its place.

 

Legwork required

True, I don't recall any playable vp at Meskwaki and St. Ignace only has the 6? dollar JB at 99.54--------having said that, a feline friend of ours tells me that bj can be playable (with diligence). Finding an open spot at table can be a problem.

A table at St. Ignace

I would like to sit in on another low-limit 6 deck table with a bunch of our regulars like we did at the Soo on Sunday night. That was a frikkin' blast (and profitable too), even after six beers.

 

Jonny, that usually happens at an Ignace, Meskwaki, or (now) Soo tournament on Sunday nights. It's like a college frat poker night, hootin' and hollerin' and putting a serious dent in their beer supply. One time we even did that at Iggy with a 25-cent roulette table. If you ever see that going on, belly right on up to the table and grab a seat. Anyone's welcome as long as they're there for a good time! You should have seen the things we did with a can of Monkey Butt Powder one night. At a BJ table. PARTY FOUL!
Obviously I won't be at this Iggy to be The Instigator but I'm sure all of you will carry on just fine. :cheers:

 

Sounds fun!

These "after the event" parties are getting popular with you guys------think I'll try to participate in one of them in the future.

Billy C

 

Better odds?

It's starting to look like more favorable odds next week at Iggy-------smaller field with same guaranteed prizes as always. Along with that, I know at least 3 of the strongest regulars won't participate this time (Lefty, Angel Run and Schultzy)--------NOW if I can get 125 more people to stay home, old Billy C has a chance!

Billy C

 

Gimme a break, Billy! Haven't you made the last 3 straight Kewadin final tables?

It's not the 140 field players that have your number, it seems to be the other 6 in the finals!

 

Billy

Hey man, you always make the final table!!

I will be at a tourney there this weekend, if I don't get barred I may see you next weekend.

CP

 

No, last TWO final tables but 4th and 6th place finishes are less than desired in somewhat toploaded purses.
Hey CP----would be nice to see you there. I will miss seeing several of the other regulars and hope they all can make the October tournament.

Iggy

I just called and left Deann my info. I believe she still had a few spots left. I figure it will be easier for me to play in August as opposed to October with school on. That way I can stay over on Sunday night and hang out with everyone and party! Hopefully I will see you all there!

 

Report

I was there this weekend for a tourney and was shocked to find that all table games close at 1.30 am on WEEKENDS I had thought they remained open until 3.30 am, but not so.

I also had my food coupons but found the "buffet" so poor that I just ordered off the menu. This had to be the worst buffet I have ever seen in a casino, what a dissapointment. The crab legs could not have been smaller and the Prime Rib was not pink but red throughout. And the pop, no Pepsi and no Coke,,,RC Cola brands only......:vomit:
And still the shortage of BJ tables open.

All things considered the Soo is the only place I will ever do tourneys at again.

The 2 BJ tourneys at the Soo in 2011 will be in warm weather months, June and September I believe. Saw the list yesterday.

Ok, I talked to Deann today and made it in this weekends tourney. See you all soon.:d
