Hi, welcome to our poker site. If you're looking for a good environment to play some hassle free poker, you've come to the right place. Our games are exciting and challenging, but budget conscience. No one has complained about the 1st place prize though! Plus your picture on the tournament page if you win who could ask for more!? The Dead Money 'WSOP' (World Series of Pearland) was a great success, More details can be found at our WSOP Page. Thanks to all that made it! You can get on the mailing list by filling out the form on the contact page. Hope to see you soon!!
Tournament Info
We play No Limit Texas Hold-em freezeout style tournaments. Towards the end of the year, all of the top cashers from each tournament throughout the year and a few 'hosts choice' players will be invited to an invitational "Tournament of Champions." This will be a higher buyin event for bragging rights. Our last "Dead Money Invitational" was a great game, details can be found on our TOC Page.
Blinds
The $40 buyin gets you $1700 in chips. Blinds start at a low 5/10 and increase in 20 minute levels as follows:
| Level | Blinds |
|---|
| 1 | 5 / 10 |
| 2 | 10 / 15 |
| 3 | 15 / 25 |
| 4 | 25 / 50 |
| Break 1 | 10 Minutes |
| 5 | 50 / 100 |
| 6 | 75 / 150 |
| 7 | 100 / 200 |
| 8 | 150 / 300 |
| Break 2 | 10 Minutes |
| 9 | 200 / 400 |
| 10 | 300 / 600 |
| 11 | 400 / 800 |
| 12 | 500 / 1000 |
| Break 3 | 10 Minutes |
| 13 | 500 / 1500 |
| 14 | 1000 / 2000 |
Payouts
All money from buyins is returned in the form of payouts. The number of paid positions is dependant on the number of players. My basic formula is as follows:
| PLAYERS | PAYOUT |
|---|
| 6-9 | 60-40 |
| 10-15 | 50-30-20 |
| 16-22 | 50-25-15-10 |
| 23-32 | 40-25-15-11-9 |
Cash Games
Often times a cash game will break out on an empty table while the tournament finishes. These games sometimes last well past the end of the tournament. General stakes are .25/.50 NL or the occasional .50/1.00 if we're feeling froggy. Max buyins for these games are 100xBB.
