OK guys this is going to be a fun contest. More of a game where chance and skill combine to determine your prize!
8 of you guys who sign up will be playing Texas Hold'em. I'll be dealing. I'll be PMing your pocket cards. Game play will take place here in the open forum.
8 players max. The first 8 to sign up. Prizes will be awarded to the last 4 players remaining as the field thins. Then again to the last 3, the last 2 until we get a grand prize winner. You will all be playing with virtual chips which I will continuously post and keep track of.
Before you sign up you must read the following.
You MUST be able to commit. This game could take up to a month to play out. You must be able to check for your turn and play. Players who miss their turn for over 48 hours will forfeit the hand. This will do you no good so make sure you can check often. Players will be able to sit out a hand but will still be obligated to post the blinds. The clock will stop on holidays and weekends so the 48 hour rule will be relaxed.
Also, due to shipping constraints you must be a resident in the continental US or Canada.
Third, you must be 18 or over.

I'll be posting the rules for the game play after we get all the players.

Finally, I/we reserve the right to change the rules.

So if you are interested, post your intentions below!

I'll post the actual prizes shortly.

OK, I just updated the prizes.
All players that survive 5 rounds will receive 1 free cigar per 5 rounds they survive for a max of 10 cigars (it is my experience that between 35 and 40 rounds usually eliminate 7 players).
Additionally the top 3 players will receive extras such as shirts, hats, cutters (depending on what I have to give).
I think this is fair and fun!
But remember, anyone just trying to survive to extend their hand to win other cigars, others are playing to win and you will never make it to the later rounds with that strategy!
