CBG Poker Club

[CBG]

Thanks to those who showed up today.

Unfortunately we had a ton of people sitting out and it screwed up the game, but I'll try to curb that from now on.

For all future games, if you register and sit out, I will remove you from the poker club.

Please only register if you plan to play.

There's nothing to think about.

If you're going to play; register.

If you're not going to play; don't.

I regester days in advance and can easily forget and would hate to lose my league status for that

The solution is have registration only 2 hours before game

also we had a terrific 4 man game after 25 min of blind taking and sharing
nothing wrong with that and the player with the most chips went out 1st

If you register for something, it's your responsibility to show up for it.

I better go and unregister then for Sunday and Tuesday. I am going out of town Saturday and might not make it back in time.
I can also think of a 1000 other reasons now I shouldn't register more than 20 minutes before game now on.

YIKES

Hey Boss, I understand your position but I want you to consider mine. I fully intended to play but I knew I'd be WORKING a little later than usual. So I registered, thinking I would just post and fold a few if I was late. I ended up having to work even a little later than expected and, like Cat said, we blinded out very quickly. So I missed it. I was one of the *** holes.
I'm sorry. Really. I am. But I'm self employed and work has to take priority. Wouldn't you agree? And do you really want to kick me out for that?

I won't register again if there's even A CHANCE I might not be in my seat at game time. If that's what you want. But it seems a little ridiculous to me. After all, it's just a game. And I know the game's are small but is late registration an option? Just in case I'm 2 minutes late?

I can tell you're pissed and now so am I. I don't want to be called irresponsible because I had to work late. These are supposed to be fun. And they are. So what do you say? Virtual bro hug and we BOTH relax a little bit?

I'm afraid I disagree with your post in its entirety. I'd much rather you not register than register knowing in advance that you're going to be late.

We're obviously not playing for big money, but I've never taken a position on anything in life where I didn't meet my obligations because there wasn't much on the line.

We can't control registration options (it's not a possibility within the software), so I have to be strict on people sitting out because it's extremely annoying and it ruins it for those who were responsible enough to show up. If this was 1 or 2 players per game none of us would mind, but when it's 80% of the field then something has to be done about it.

From this point onward, I will "suspend" any players sitting out for more than just the first few hands. Those players can then send me a private message if they'd like to be reinstated. I'll gladly do so, but it will be a one time thing, and the next action will be removal from the club.

I think that's a fair solution.

I'd much rather have 3 people register who are going to play than have 14 people register with 11 of them sitting out.
