[edit] Alexandria Series of Poker

Alexandria Series of Poker (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article discusses a minor event. Poker tournaments worthy of inclusion in wikipedia have more players and/or larger buy-ins.Fbdave 03:37, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

• Delete noting that the WP magazine article, however reliable a source it may be, still describes something that's nothing more important than a glorified home game. 40 participants? With the current hold'em craze, there are "tournaments" of that size every day in every city of the US. Pascal.Tesson 04:51, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. WP article is certainly reliable so the event happened, but this is like a story about somebody's backyard party. Yes, there is an article, but it is beyond trivial. 2005 07:06, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Is this a relist or did I see this WP article in a Bio article? TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 17:43, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

• Preserve The World Series of poker had 7 players in its first year in 1970. Every event, regardless of nature, needs time to grow. In addition, the upcoming Alexandria Series of Poker is going to require a $5 registration fee in addition to the $30 tournament entry fee that will be donated to a charitable cause within the DC/NOVA Community. This game is not about the money by any means and should not be perceived as "just another home game". It's simply a fun tournament that brings those of us who grew up together in Alexandria back closer together around Thanksgiving, a time when there is a lot of emphasis on family and friends, and brings in new faces and personalities every year. As far as the media coverage is concerned the WP and Alexandria Gazette CHOSE to cover the event.
