It's JIG Poker Night!
It's Saturday and that means another JIG Poker Night event is coming your way! We'll be setting up the poker tables in our own Triplejack poker lounge, as we do every week, and the tournaments will get underway this evening beginning at 6PM EST (GMT-5). Be sure to join us for some fun and good times, and you just might win yourself a prize or two. And do we ever have some nice prizes to give away this week!
Prizes up for grabs: Westward games(!) from the kind folks at Sandlot Games: Set out across the wild frontier on a wild west adventure. We also have one month of Triplejack Power Player to give away, one deck of Triplejack playing cards, and one JIG Casual Gameplay t-shirt. But, of course, that's not all. The champion of tournaments will be entered into a drawing for a fabulous grand prize: a Nintendo DS Lite! Drawing to be held Saturday, May 26, 2007.
To join us for poker night, be sure use the Triplejack login form here in the sidebar, or use the registration login page, for access to our JIG poker lounge. From there make sure you visit the table named "READ ME PLEASE" for instructions on how to register using the tournament registration form.
Recap of last week: We had another great poker night last Saturday, and I have another set of winners to report. The tournaments went very smoothly and I want to be sure everyone who participated last week gets a very big "thank you" for helping to make the event such an enjoyable experience for everyone involved.
We held a series of standard, 11-player, Texas Hold'em tournaments, in which each player buys-in for $500 in chips (money at Triplejack is free). The player to win all of the chips from all of the other players at the table qualified and earned a seat at the final table. This week's qualifiers were...
- Qualifier #1 winner: Rydash
- Qualifier #2 winner: remkoduursma
- Qualifier #3 winner: supersasha
- Qualifier #4 winner: racket19
- Qualifier #5 winner: dee2
- Qualifier #6 winner: zeroster
- Qualifier #7 winner: Akisuzu
- Qualifier #8 winner: Tumbler
- Qualifier #9 winner: gevonden_sok
- Qualifier #10 winner: TATTOO
- Qualifier #11 winner: RiNSpy
Once all the tournaments were held, these players all took their seats at the final table for a fight to the finish in one grandaddy elimination tournament. The prizes up for grabs that were split among the top 2 finishers:
- (1) FREE month Power Player subscription to Triplejack
- (1) FREE deck of Triplejack playing cards
- (1) FREE JIG Casual Gameplay T-shirt
- (1) $10 Best Buy gift card
And the lucky prize-winners are:
- 2nd place: Akisuzu
Champion of Tournaments #5: supersasha!
Congratulations to all the winners—even if you didn't win a prize at the final table you still walked away with more Triplejack chips than you started with—and thank you all for working with the registration form making this week's tournaments the best ones yet!
A big shout out to the very kind folks at Triplejack for again sponsoring their part of the prize package for the tournament.
im confused, how do i get the keycode to register?
i went to the jayisgames lounge but there was no read me please table. am i just too early or what?
Congrats, supersasha.
Sorry, maeve. I've added the READ ME table to the lounge area.
Registration for the tournaments will open at 5PM today, tourneys start promptly at 6PM.
Well I finally had time to play in one of these and froze up on the very first hand (with pocket 9s), forcing me to forfeit. Not fun. Is there a problem with playing in firefox?
Sorry that happened to you Eon. No trouble with Firefox, as I use it all the time on my PC. I use Camino on my Mac (same mozilla gecko engine).
Sometimes lag causes the action to freeze momentarily. It generally clears up by itself if you let it. Otherwise, I'd look at your network for being at fault.
