Yo'leven.

If you've played a live cash game, you've heard the popular shortening of the phrase "You know, I really think this would be a good time to bet (or raise to) Eleven." It's comes out as "Yo'leven" or simply "Yo." Why is this worth being mentioned? Because the Bad Beat Jackpot is now just $11 shy of $3,000. Lose a pot with AAAJJ (or better) when you and your opponent use both hole cards and you're looking at a nice pay day. Just for being dealt into the hand you get to split up a quarter of that jackpot. Figure close to $750 split up six or eight ways... better than $93 to $125 / person just for being in the hand, not to mention you get a whole quarter of it if you're holding the winning the hand, and half the jackpot for taking the gruesome beat.

I've been spending time trying to track down new players and I've had some success. We've been doing breakfast for dinner, Thanxgiving dinnner last night, all kinds of interesting ideas. For some reason, a $50 Free-roll always seems to draw 'em out, too.

For this coming game, I'm gonna do something that's downright idiotic, stupid, but probably pretty fun. Starting at 1859, we're gonna do a single-table $1 rebuy speed tournament. Your buy-in of $1 gets you a hunnert tournament chips, and any time you've got less than a hunnert in your stack, you can get a hunnert more. Players can put up $2 to start with two hundred chips. At the end of the fourth level, you can add-on 150 chips for $1 or you can elect for a double-add-on of 300 chips for $2.

Blinds are gonna be fast and furious, but I expect the prize pool to possibly be as high as $50 or if it gets incredibly donkalicious, possibly over $100. There is no set pay-out structure, once the remaining players agree on a breakdown, that's what we'll do.

As soon as those shenanigans are finished with, we'll move on to $1/$2 NL for the rest of the night. While everyone is waiting for the $1 donkfest to finish up, we can enjoy some tasty grub, and place prop bets on whose gonna fuck off their chips first.
