Got another 2 family members, Mum and Dad.

I never call myself a poker master, i am just a guy that likes cards.

Don't have that killer instinct for poker.

My brother is a scholar before a poker player, he loves the intricacies and strategies involved in Poker.
I love the challenge and that feeling when your read is right and you make that great call or fold, the psychological warfare of making that player think twice about the strength of his/her hand and making them lay it down.
What my brother is trying to say is that he's a nice guy and can't lie and be nasty. Me, on the other hand, I can be an a*&^hole.

But he is in his own right a half decent card player and an above average poker player.

I would probably looked to do a partners event before a family event. There just isn't that many families in the league to create an event, and family size would affect team size.

I'd prefer family! My missus doesn't play :(

There's three of us (brothers Murrin) who are in for the family one!

Garth, you'd be surprised how many family members all play!

I can't wait to read about all the fights over who in the family had to miss out :)
Pardon me, but I think you'll find that's a shovel. See you next Tuesday!

maybe cut it down to two players, and have brothers, father/son, husband/wife etc. then bigger families could just have multiple teams?

dunno what would happen with the Murrin brothers though, surely you would just pick on the younger one and tell him to go away (i am an older brother, cant you tell?)
