New game up and running

2010-08-03T02:53:00.000-07:00

Our New poker game is now up and running 5 nights a week.

Monday/Wednesday/Friday/Saturday and Sunday. All games start at 7.30pm with blinds set at 50-100baht. Minimum buy-in is 5,000baht.

Every week from now on we are also taking names for a bigger buy-in game to be run Saturday nights. The blinds for this are 200-400 and a minimum buy-in of 20,000baht.

For more details please email me at: thailandpokernights@hotmail.com

New Game starting soon

2010-03-12T03:56:00.000-08:00

After a bit of a break we are planning to Open up or game again soon. When we re-open there will be a few changes to our game and how a seat is reserved.
All cash games will now be 50-100baht minimum blinds and the buy-in will be 3,000 minimum.
For members to reserve a seat now you will be required to text or phone 3hours before the game is scheduled to begin and you will be expected to attend after booking a seat. In the past I have had a lot of problems with members booking seats and not showing up or cancelling so as a new rule if you book a seat for a game and you cancel or do not show up Two or more times in the same month then you will be excluded from ALL of the following months games. I know this is a serious change to the rules but in the past we have had other members travelling for a game and when some members don’t show up the game is cancelled resulting the members present wasting a full night because of someone else booking a seat and not turning up.

I also have included a new poll for the most suitable blinds for our cash games so please place your vote now.

Once we have a final opening date I will let all members know by email and text. So let’s get ready to play some great poker again in Bangkok.

This weekends games

2009-10-21T06:18:00.000-07:00

After a few interesting weeks in the Poker jungle of Bangkok I have decided to set a weekly game schedule. I would ask members to text me what days/times suit them to play as this will help control numbers and games.
We also had our first Royal Flush by Ron “The Rock” and all after just 4weeks. I would like to also ask members to text on the afternoon they want to play as If you do not let me know before 6pm each evening you may not be able to get a seat. Members must also know that bringing Non poker playing friends to the club is not allowed.
Schedule for week 22nd-25th October is as follows:
Thursday 22nd : 7.30pm start. blinds 25-50 Nlh
Friday 23rd : 7.30pm start. blinds 25-50 Nlh
Saturday 24th : 6pm start. Blinds 25.50 Nlh
Sunday 25th : 5pm start. Deepstack Night buy-in (5000-10-000) Blinds 25-50 Nlh

Sorry for the delay guy's, I'm awaiting Poker tables/chips and dealers so this is causing a delay.

I am hoping to bring you exciting news soon with a deal with a online site to become our sponsor.
We will run exclusive Qualifying satellites for our tournaments and also some "members only" freerolls. Also some "private tournaments and private cash tables". So all very exciting.
Also plan a online league to find bangkok's best tournament player..exciting prizes await..!!
Loads of exciting ideas.

I will add a link to this poker site very soon.

Sorry again for the delay but it will all be worth it ....I just want to get it right from the start.

Legal issue Re: Poker

2009-07-15T05:07:00.000-07:00

For the last 6-8months I have heard a lot of people telling me "you can't play poker in Thailand,it is illegal".I too also thought this until I researched this fact. It is NOT illegal to play poker..it becomes illegal if you play for cash or property. So with this in mind I would like to talk a little more about this issue. The club I am opening is a poker club, but I will not be ever having an "open house policy" so every person that enters our club will be a member. Every member will get a members number and if you want to play in a game you can: Phone/text or email and quote your members number, We will phone or text you back within 5 minutes letting you know if there is a place available at the game running. This is so we can facilitate all our members and not have a situation where people turn up only to be turned away because the game is full.

Upon arrival if you want to play a live game you will have two options:
1. you can go to our computer and transfer from your online account to our house account the amount you want to buy-in for. The same will apply for cashing out. This will create a cash free area and you will need No cash to play in our game.
2. you can have a house account and can use this to get chips to cash in and out.

I know at the start this will not be possible so we will have to relax our rules a little but once we get everyone with a members account it should work out.

I know this is not the perfect situation but in Thailand we have to play by Thai rules as much as we can. This is also in your interest for security reasons and you don't want to have to ever carry a lot of cash in Bangkok.

I would really love some feedback regarding this idea. you can email me at thailandpokernights@hotmail.com or info@thailandpokernights.com
