[Offintheshower] Poker Night

[jeremy.thorson at sasktel.sk.ca]

An easy way to skim a little more money off the top (and to accomodate the 
stragglers that show up too late to get in on the tournament) is to host 
side games.

As extra people show up, or as people lose out of the tournament, create 
new tables of 10 players at $10 a pop; implement an aggressive blind 
schedule for a fast game, and pay $50 to the winner.  At the last poker 
night I was at, these side games raised an extra $200 for the team.  Its 
also a lot easier to convince a non-card player to part with $10 than $40, 
so they were able to entice folks who showed up but hadn't intended on 
playing into 'donating' for the cause.

Incidently ... does anyone know what the actual law is with regards to 
hosting Poker games?   (home games, fundraisers, or otherwise)
