Do you remember when the Stargas Classic was a basketball tournament?
It's all poker now...except for a few little things.
Like the entry fee ($33. for Bird) (please bring exact change)
The blinds will increase every 23 minutes in honor of Michael JordanAll players in the classic will be given an "alter ego" of a pro basketball player that relates to their poker playing style. These will be given by the tournament director (me) and are non negotiable.
New Year's Eve (12 noon)
At The Hitman's house
Update: Here are the Alter Ego Names for the Club Sub members that played in the Stargas Classic this year.
DaPrez= Dominique Wilkens. Nique was called the Human Highlight Reel. DaPrez's Tilt's are epic. They should be filmed and replayed over and over again.
Frank White= Karl Malone. Frank is not "The Mailman" just because he knocked up C's wife...that's only part of it. Malone played the game forever...it seems like Frank came out the womb with Ace-King in his hand.
Mud= Kurt Rambis. Kurt was a grinder...just like Mud. A workhorse who grinds out pots bt folding, checking, hanging around. Mud plays cards like the guy who remebers to bring the toilet paper on the camping trip.
Fic= Paul Pierce. "The Truth" is how Fic lives his life. He's too honest to lie...except when bluffing. Paul came back to the game after being attacked at a night club. Fic would refuse medical treatment and crawl to the table even when stabbed 17 times.
The Schemer= Kevin McHale. Kelly makes poker "moves" that seem illegal just like McHale's post moves. Schemer's awkward at the table...spilling his beer, knocking over his chips (and everyone elses) but he still shows brillance at times just like the Celts 32.
Tilt=Magic Johnson. Speaking of shot takers...Tilt takes shots at pots often (maybe that's because his son says he's the best all around poker player...ever!) Magic was a showman...just like Tilt. Every game is played like the cameras are rolling.
Faceman= Allen Iverson. Iverson is a little guy who plays big. Face plays big poker. When he wins...he wins big. When he loses...he loses HUGE!! Iverson is tough and never misses a game just like Face who plays every hand.
Big Sloppy= Charles Barkley. Sloppy plays poker "Out Loud" just like Sir Charles. He's always got something to say about each and every hand...even the ones he's not in. The way Sloppy Lives...he's no one's role model.
That Guy= Bob Cousy. Cousy was a pest, involved in every play on the court. That Guy is in every hand pestering others on the table. Now Cousy's constant gabbing makes Celtic fans watch games on mute. There is no mute button for That Guy. Congrats to That Guy for his 2nd place finish at the Stargas Classic.
