Two questions:

Vector: The additional seating: Are you required to pay the $6 to use it? I don't mind paying, just asking.

Poker Pros: If a poker semi-n00b wanted to learn the game well, what would be the best tools/resources to learn from, in your opinion?

No. No Charge to spectate. Smile

Wow, this sounds like a lot of fun. I remember playing in an unoffical poker tournament back when pdxlan was at the Expo center.

One question for Vector: when you say poker I assume it's texas hold'em?

As for learning to play the game better, I would say you could play free online poker to learn about the game better (Percentages/Odds, etc). For me learning to play poker better was playing with some friends. This is where you get the real knowledge I think. You physically get to see peoples faces around the table and learn about how to spot tells. You should get some buddys togeather and play to learn.

that is what it has been @ the last 2 events i would say yes !

.... All in Cool

I just tried to buy a seat to the poker tournament through the online store here. It flagged the certificate as being almost a year expired for the secure server. It seems like you all are trustworthy guys. I'm just looking for some reassurance that it'll be above board if I buy one of these.

You don't enter any credit card info on PDXLAN's website for 1. Since we exclusively use paypal, all security is all on them.

Plus if you're entering credit card info on a site with a certificate signed like ours, the expiration date should be the least of your worries. Wink

Can we still play the tournament if we don't have a ticket to PDXLAN 11? Can anyone enter who pays?

Already had purchased the $6 ticket. Thought the $6 was only for getting in. Thought needed more to actually gamble.

See you there.
