Ante Up

See CPT4.pdf for chip distribution, blind structure, prizes, and other details.

It's time for CPT4!

In preparation for a possible future "Tournament of Champions", it's appropriate we get a game in that includes ANTES! This tournament emulates a final table structure at a larger poker tournament. $10 buys you $5,000 in chips. The blinds increase reasonably quickly, and antes are ~ 20% of the big blind, which roughly doubles the starting pot at a full table.

As usual, we'll likely play a second tournament after, so bring an extra $10 in case you need it. We'll vote on the format: either a repeat of "CPT4 - Game 1", or a more standard tourney (T1000 without antes?) as after the CPT3 bounty game. As always, both tournaments count towards your stats in the league rankings. This shouldn't pressure those who prefer to opt out, since the rankings are primarily based on AVERAGE tournament points.

Hope to see you at CPT4. Good luck and good cards!

Eights are WILD!

No, not in the poker game... but I just wanted to remind you that if we get exactly 8 or 16 players showing up to CPT4, it'll be superseded by "CPT - Heads Up"!
