Just a quick heads-up to Net54ers who participated in the December dry run of the 2008 Old Cardboard Texas Hold'em tournament. Details for the 2008 series of tournaments are now developed and posted on the Old Cardboard website at <a href="http://www.oldcardboard.com/misc/poker/poker.asp" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.oldcardboard.com/misc/poker/poker.asp</a>. The tournament details can also be accessed from an icon that was just added to the Old Cardboard home page. We will also announce the series in the January issue of the Old Cardboard eNewsletter (should go out later today). Registration is via the <a href="http://www.pokerstars.com" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.pokerstars.com</a> website. The January tournament number is 72376940 (or look for Old Cardboard #1 in the scrolldown list). The password for the private tournament is t206t206. The first tournament is next Tuesday, January 23 at 7:30 pm Central. Any questions; please don't hesitate to call or send email at the address below. We hope to see you there and wish everyone lots of fun and the best of luck. Lyman 512-231-9594 editor@oldcardboard.com Oops! Steve is correct (thanks Steve). The tourney is next Tuesday, January 22.

Posted By: scott brockelmanI finished 4th, out of the money <img src="/images/sad.gif" height=14 width=14> I was severely short stacked and in the small blind, picked up AA, 1st 2 players fold <img src="/images/sad.gif" height=14 width=14> I go all in with about 1600 chips, big blind folds and I end up with about 2,600 still way short stacked, no action at all with the monster pair. Next hand on the button KK, I mean how much better cards could I get, 1st player(jeff) folds, I again throw em all in, small blind gets out, Brett call with A6 of hearts and hits the flush against my 3 K's as i picked up a third one on the river. Had me talking to myself that's for sure. I played it the only way I could with the best 2 hands in Hold'em, just wasn't in the cards. Had a ton of fun and it went pretty quick. The entire tourney lasted a little over 2 1/2 hours. Scott

Posted By: Jeff PriznerI placed 2nd. Trying to remember the winner's name, something like TheNYCKid. Final hand was my AJ vs. his AK, both all-in pre-flop.

OT, but it's always cool to see familiar faces in the 'Collectors Dugout' - noticed you there recently. ------------------------------------------------- All Things T206: <a href="http://www.T206.org" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.T206.org</a> eBay Made Easy: <a href="http://www.PreWarAuctions.com" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.PreWarAuctions.com</a> T205.org Coming Soon!

Posted By: LymanWe got off to a great start with the 2008 Texas Hold'em tourney last evening. A total of 26 vintage baseball card collectors participated in the shootout. Jason Barden (TheKidNYC) was the last player standing, riding into the sunset with the $130 top prize. Jeff Prizner (bicem20) took 2nd place honors and $78. Our own Brett Hardeman (BrettHardemn) walked away with 3rd and $52. I will prepare and upload a more detailed post-game wrap-up to the Old Cardboard website in the next day or two at <a href="http://www.oldcardboard.com/misc/poker/2008/tourney01-results.asp" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.oldcardboard.com/misc/poker/2008/tourney01-results.asp</a>. I will also update the Leaderboard for those who scored points toward the Old Cardboard bonus awards for the 2008 season. Next tourney will be held Tuesday, February 26 at 7:30 Texas time (CST). The 2nd tournament (Old Cardboard #2) has now been set up with PokerStars as Tourney Number 74854086 (password for registration is e107e107). Early registration is encouraged to avoid any last minute misfires in registration or funding. Players can always "unregister" if a schedule conflict comes up. Thanks again to all for making our first tourney a great time for everyone. Lyman PS: Larry Ordet, sorry about the pocket 66's. Edited to correct link; someday I'll learn to get it right the first time. LJH

Posted By: Steve MurrayIt was great fun.

Lyman of Old Cardboard will be providing all deatils. Edit: Took a call and didn't realize that Lyman has provided details. Funny <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: J LevineI had fun even though I had a bad beat to hit the rail at 15th place...All in pre-flop with AK suited against AJ unsuited. I pick up a K on flop and then player who busted me hits four running clubs to have the nut flush...ergh! Lots of fun and I encourage others to play. I was really rusty though...I plan to be better in Feb. Joshua

Posted By: Jim ClarkeSo, explain this tourney again?? There are points to be had and this is a series? I thought it was just a crap shoot being done once in awile. I will need to change my play if this is an ongoing thing.

Posted By: Sean BHYou get 5 points for first place down to 1 point for fifth place(only if you subscribe to Old Cardboard). If you have the most points after the year, I think Steve comes to your house and cooks dinner and you get a trophy. sdbh Edited to add - And a 15-ounce can of "Lyman's Famous Home Made Chili."

Posted By: LymanJC, is that the best excuse you have for placing 18th in last night's tourney? Give me a break; I know you can come up with something much better than that? Perhaps you should let Tammy take your spot at the next tourney! <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> FYI, you can see all the details of the 2008 SERIES at <a href="http://www.oldcardboard.com/misc/poker/poker.asp" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.oldcardboard.com/misc/poker/poker.asp</a>. There is also a direct link from the Old Cardboard home page. Lyman Edited to fix link (again).
