Tournaments

  1. The Mav-Rick $100,000 Tournament are a special incentive we designed to help both Advertise and Promote our advertisers’ businesses by giving away “4 BONUS SEATS”  into these tournaments, (which players cannot enter) but can win their seats through patronizing our customers businesses. Our tournaments won’t be intimidating and will be a cross between Old West Style Poker, TX Hold’em, and Blackjack Tournaments. They will be the most accommodating poker tournaments you ever play in. From our free entries, session times: 3 ½ hours, playing time options: 9:00 AM, 2:30 PM, and 7:00 PM, no condensing players and tables in the first 3 Rounds (so you only play against 5 other players to advance to the next Round).  Why we are calling these tournaments “Texas Hold’em on Training Wheels”.  

 

Posters 

Our Tournament Posters will have business’s name listed on them for each of our Advertiser’s locations and tournament. Each location will receive 4 posters.  

 

Tournament Format  

Our unique Texas Turbo Texas Hold’em Tournament format is designed from a combination of Old West Style Poker, Texas Hold’em, Blackjack, and Home Tournaments. The total playing time per Session will be no more than 3 1/2 hours and we play our first 4 Rounds with 6 players per table on 48-inch round tables, and self-deal in every Session. And unlike conventional TX Hold’em Tournaments, where tables are condensed down as players are eliminated, we simply advance a set number of player(s) per Round (Depending on number of total players in the tournament it could be 1-3 players advancing per table). Once we get to the 10 players, we will begin using a full-size table (seating 10 players each) for the finals. We will have dealers at the final table, this Round will only last 3 ½ hours maximum as well.
