ABOUT THE

prestigious gaming event in the world awarding millions of dollars

recognized as the sport’s top prize. Featuring a comprehensive
slate of tournaments in every major poker variation, the WSOP is

Joe Wilkerson Winner 2009 Bracelet Tournament
Couples Tournament Winners

Nicki & Ed Reining
winners of the First Couples Tournament.
It seemed as if the
couples were having a good time. I heard comments about what a good
time it was.
It may be a tournament we
will try again and see how it is received by the players. I know we
will have to have more female players. They were in great demand, and
some of the men could not find a partner.

Rules at the Table
Lets go over some of the rules and common courtesy at the poker table.
The Tennessee Poker League tries- to the best of our abilities- to
stay with the rules that the WSOP and other professional groups
play by.
All poker rooms in casinos are now smoke free.
We started that last year and with few exceptions it has worked well.
Phones are not allowed at the table during a
tournament. They are allowed in cash games, however--you will
be dealt around if you are on the phone and your hand will be declared
dead if you answer it after you have cards.
Discussing the board is something that should
not be done. If you were playing in a cash game and it had a bad beat
jackpot the house could call the hands dead if someone at the table
was talking about the flop. Besides that--you give the players the
unfair advantage of your thoughts of what is possible. Perhaps they
had not seen the same thing or the possibility of the hand.
Moving Chips when you move Tables
we have always had the rule that you cannot put the chips in your
pocket or purse or anywhere else out of sight. Your chips will be dead
and you will be out of the tournament.
Mike Green
2009
Numan's Free Roll Player of the Year Mike had a really
great year in the free rolls and in the league games. He
played very good all year, and rarely missed a game. Was amazing how
he made the final table so many times. |
