A new site that is still "Coming Soon": www.papoker.com

I'm in the Pittsburgh "area". About 45 minutes North of Pitts. I would travel somewhat to get into some tourneys, decent home games.

Yes, papoker.com has taken over all the tournies that they ran.I sent you a PM, to be honest, my home game might not be worth the 45 mins + drive, but the Friday games in SF would probably be.

From your PM it sounded as if you haven't played in any of these firehall games as of yet. Are you planning to? Do you know if you have to "know someone" to get into them? I'm assuming that unless these games are fronted by some charity or something that they don't exactly allow people to walk in off the street.As for your home game, it doesn't sound bad. I'm not looking for huge stakes here, just somewhere to play where I have a shot to win $50+ bucks for a few hours of play. Sound like the top prize in your tourney would be at least $100 or so?Anyway, when you find out more about the firehall deal, definitely let me know. I'd appreciate it!

I have played in the fire hall one. Once, about a month ago. You can just walk in. It's benefits the VFD. It was 33 people that week, but that was the lowest they've had. When my buddy played a few month ago, there was like 80some. They also have side SnG games ($40, I think) going on before and after the main tourney.We had 8 last night so it was 70/10. Usually 2nd gets money back. When 13-14, I'll do 10/20/the rest.

What's the buy-in at the firehall? I'm guessing about $20?

$50 + $20The $20 goes to the firehall. Sounds like A LOT at first, but they have a full buffett and drinks. Chicken, pasta, sammiches, cookies, cake, etc.

Mmmmm, I love them sammiches! :)Do you have an address for this place? Also, do you know what time they start? I have some buddies who would probably be up for this a couple times a month. I'm definitely interested.I'm guessing that 1st place prize would be somewhere in the $1000 range if they got about 80 people?Thanks!

Oakridge Fire Dept.1214 Oakridge RdMc Donald, PA 15057-2605I think they started the main tourney at 8 when I played, but don't quote me on that.I have NO idea the pay out structure.

[Scanner313]

fryer,Are you sure this is the Oakdale F.D.? I looked up the address you gave me on the internet and it said this is the McDonald F.D. The Oakdale F.D. shows a different address.
