Jack and Jill

This was an interesting format.
Oklahoma state championships start Feb. 1, Cherokee Casino in Tulsa, Ok.
The first night is the Jack and Jill tourny.

Couple, $120 entry for the couple.
1 starts, at the first blinds raise, starting player gets up, the other half of the couple sits down and plays "their" chip stack, and alternates at each blind raise.

My wife and I thought that sounds like fun. Not sure yet if we will be able to swing going down there yet, it's on a Thursday night, but it sounded like a blast. Also sounded like a potential for domestic violence if your wife didn't agree with your tactics.

Yeah, that could be fun, but it also could end up bad, like if you were to get up a bit and then your wife blew all your chips.

Lmao - I bet she gets up and he blows all her chips!!

Never happen in the UK, it would need to be called "Jack and Jill, Jack and Jack, Jill and Jill tourney

I'd never play one of these with my hubby...for a number of reasons, including the fact that he'd be the one who would lose all our chips!

Several of us who play at a casino here in the OKC Metro area are going up to play in this. And most of us are not partnering with our spouses!

Welcome RoseAnn to another fellow Oklahoman!!! You found a great forum to join!

I haven't read my Cherokee book they sent out a week or so ago, so I had no idea they were having this tournament. Too late of notice for us to play. Infact I have to agree with some of the ladies on here. I wouldn't play this with my hubby As much as I love him he has lost way too much of my online winnings and he is only at about 40% for his live play as well

Good luck to those who play this, and give us an update how you fair please!

Thanks for the welcome, Tina! I found this place when I was looking for information on the tourney, and I'm glad I did

My hubby doesn't even go to the casino with me any more. I would stake him out of my winnings to play either limit hold'em or blackjack, and he'd be broke long before I was ready to leave

This will be my first trip to Cherokee. I've heard lots about it, but have never had the chance to go. My partner is a good friend, and we play a similiar game, so I think we'll do pretty well. But even if we don't get very far, we'll have a good time--we always do

I'll let you know how we do. Our hope is that someone from our group wins the tourney, but we know the competition will be tough.

A few of the ladies from our casino are going back to play in the women's tourney on Sunday, but the $300 entry fee is a bit high for my liking. However, I might change my mind if I make the money Thursday night

Best,
