So a bunch of us AZ guys got together on Thursday night and got a little poker home game going... nothing big, just $1 stakes and honestly, to call it "poker" would be a stretch. We played a lot of crazy games (7-card stud Q kills, wild cards, etc.) including the stalwart Texas-Holdem.
Here were the official results.
The point of this post is first, of course, to claim my bragging rights for the entire month.
Second, I haven't checked, but maybe there's an opportunity here for a website that helps local people form their own home games? And set up like a challenge league? I know this is the type of thing I would have used in the past. (Stress here is "HOME GAME" -- the is no house rake)
Third and most important, it illustrates that the forum is much more than "how do I grow my business" or "how do I make money" but about forging relationships OFFLINE as much as ONLINE.
I used to play a "home game" in Chicago before moving to Phoenix. When I moved, it stopped and I truly didn't realize how much I missed it until I played again, AND with a bunch of entrepreneurs who "get it". The conversation is illuminating -- instead of talking about how much one's boss is a dick or "my hours were cut", we are talking about sales funnels, conversion rates, and marketing ideas.
Folks, use this forum to your advantage. Contribute. Forge relationships. Find like minders in your area, go for coffee, get a poker home game going, or run your own B&P meetup.
While I had a shit-ton of fun last night, I actually learned STUFF just by virtue of LISTENING to the conversations that were being exchanged.
I also learned that when ordering pizza from Mr Cs, 45 minutes means 2.25 hours.
That said, I look forward to next month...
