It is with a heavy
heart, that we bring you this news. Unfortunately, due
to circumstances beyond our control, there will be no
more No Buy-In Texas Hold Em live tournaments. The
final venue that hosted us, Roadhouse, has made the
decision that the lack of attendance and financial
support, by enough players on a regular and consistent
basis, has led them to the decision to cancel our
games at their establishment. While there have been
many players who have loyally attended and supported
these games and our league non-stop for a number of
years, apparently there were not enough to keep us
going. Jimmy and I have been operating this league at
a financial loss for several months in an attempt to
continue to provide this entertainment. I have been
looking back over the years to all that has happened,
both good and not so good, to our group of friends and
players, and it makes me cry to think that it is
ending. Jimmy and I want to thank you with all of our
hearts for the support that you have given us, and
please know that we did all that we could to keep
going for as long as we could. In spite of our efforts
to come to an agreement with Ron to complete our
session commitment to you, he could or would not
budge. While we are grateful to the Roadhouse for
hosting our games for so many years, we feel very
strongly that it is not fair to you to simply end
mid-session. What we have decided to do, is continue
our online games until February 2nd, adding a Saturday
night tournament, and take the top 10 players from
this session, host a tournament in our home, and buy
the winner into 3 of our continuing home games. We
will continue our once a month home games (the second
Friday or Saturday of each month, as well as our
weekly quarter games on Sunday). Again, for those of
you who have stuck with us through thick and thin, we
are grateful. We hope to continue to stay in touch
with all of you through our home games. We had a GREAT
run, thanks to ALL of you who participated in the fun!
