MUGs

08/04/2021

Hello friends! All of a sudden there are many things on the calendar that we're excited to share. Here's what's on tap:

Houston! Texas Card House, Aug. 7th and 8th
On Saturday we're looking forward to playing all things CASH. There should be something for everybody as we'll rotate through $1/$3NL, $5/$5NL, and $1/$3PLO. Then on Sunday, we'll fire at the $350 WPT Steps tourney, with cash games to follow. Both days will kick off at 4pm.

Austin! Texas Card House, Aug. 11th and 12th
The Texas Tour concludes where it all began. On Wednesday it'll be open format MUG. Whatever is running, we'll play. And on Thursday the boys will be playing on the TCH livestream.

Las Vegas! Resorts World, Aug. 20th
Home sweet home! Massively overdue for a gathering in the desert and we're excited about this one. We'll get to hang out in the newest spot on the strip. Aiming for a 6pm start time and some $2/$5 funsies. More info to come.

Los Angeles! Hustler Casino, Sept. 11th and 12th
Some very cool things are happening at the Hustler Casino. Come hang out with us on Saturday for $5/$5 cash games, and on Sunday for what will likely be a bounty tournament event. More info to come on this one too.

Suddenly our calendars are looking chock full of MUG fun. Looking forward to seeing many friendly faces and bomb pots galore.

Cheers,
Andrew and Brad

Hey guys. Quick update to the schedule details for this weekend's MUG at TCH Rio Grande Valley:

5pm Friday June 4th: $5/$5 $200-$1k buyin

1pm Saturday June 5th: $290 Tournament
This is also a WPT Steps tourney with a $10k guarantee. Once our poker experience in that tournament has completed, Brad and I will hop into some $1/$3 $100-$300 buyin games. Likely play until around 7pm or so, maybe a bit later.

For more info on that WPT Steps tourney, you can reach out TCH RGV directly and they'll be happy to answer any questions.

See you soon!

Why, hello there! Long time no see. We hope you're well. We miss you.

And because we miss you, we think it's time to dust off this page, oil up the MUG gears, and get this show on the road. Let's do this.

Texas, the reunion starts with you. We're heading to the Texas Card House in Rio Grande Valley on June 4th and 5th for some friendly poker action. On day 1 we'll hop into the $1/$3 $100-$300 games, and on day 2 we'll kick it up slightly with some $5/$5NL action, $200 min-$1k max. Expect bomb pots, vlog cameras, and a low folding frequency.

From there we head north. We've heard and seen some things about the action in Dallas, so we're coming to experience it for ourselves at the Texas Card House there. Pray for us as we hop into the livestream game on Tuesday June 8th. If we survive, there will be stories to share as we play $2/$5NL on Wednesday the 9th. Same buyins as RGV: $200-$1k, and more of the fun twists and turns you've come to know via the MUGs.

Can't wait! Hope to see a lot of new and old friendly faces in Texas. And keep an eye here for more dates and locations to come.

Cheers, and see you soon.

Hello friends. We’ve been paying close attention to the current health situation unfolding and how it pertains to an event like the Meet Up Games. Despite all of the momentum and fun that the MUGs are generating, we think the safe and sensible thing to do is to suspend the events for the time being.

We’ll definitely look to reschedule anything that gets cancelled (particularly the Chicago event that was due to take place at the end of this month). As soon as we get more clarity on the situation, we’ll fire the games up again.

Stay safe and healthy. You’ve got more Bradley dollars to win and bluffs to get through on me.

Cheers,
Andrew

What's up poker party people! Happy February. Checking in to let you guys know what's on the calendar this month.

This weekend sees another big one happening at The Gardens Casino in Los Angeles. Last time there were over 20 tables of $5/$5NL running, so expect a ton of game selection this Friday as well, starting at 5pm.

And at 1pm on Saturday, we'll be running another $340 tournament. But we've tripled the starting stack to 30k chips! And we're keeping the $100 bounty on myself and Brad, so come knock us out and win it all.

On the 18th and 19th of this month, we're finally making a first appearance in Massachusetts as we head to MGM Springfield! Two days of cash game fun awaits us there. Official start time set for 5pm on both days. I'll be looking for recommended locally brewed beverages not called Sam Adams.

In the meantime, here's the latest MUG Vlog, highlighting the massive 4-day event at Aspers Casino in London. Cheers!

Here’s what’s on deck!

We’ve gotten a lot of questions about the stakes across the multiday cash game event in London. We’ll probably mostly play low stakes NL, but whatever games people want to start, we’ll rotate into! (Within reason... 😬 But hey we hear they spread 6-card PLO and that sounds fun!)

Greetings from sunny Deadwood, South Dakota! It’s a balmy 58 degrees outside and should make for some pretty gorgeous drone shots. Last night I soundly defeated Brad in 3 straight $20 matches of shuffleboard at Saloon #10. It was glorious. And in a few hours from now we’re firing up the cash tables across various stakes at Cadillac Jack’s casino.

From here we’re flying directly to New Jersey for our first proper Meet Up away from the poker tables. We’ll be at Black Bear Bar and Grill in Hoboken on Sunday, so if anyone is nearby feel free to come join us at noon for food, drinks and football. DraftKings is throwing in an odds boost on the Jets/Giants game, just for us to use: If you’re in NJ, check out the instructions below for some +ev wagering.

And one week from today, we’ll be back at Graton Casino in Northern California. If you wanna get on the vlog, we’ll be splashing in the $3/$5NL streets on Friday and hosting a $340 tourney at 11am Saturday. You can get on the “3/5 YouTube” cash game list now by calling 707-588-7388.

As always, thanks to everyone for your support, and for making this poker journey a fun one.

Cheers,
Andrew.

Here’s the info for New Jersey players to claim your 3 to 1 odds boost on the NYJ or NYG, along with some legalese. If you have any questions feel free to leave a comment. The sportsbetting fun is a new adventure for us... but essentially they’re giving us +300 odds on either team up to $50 (looks like regular odds would be around -120 on the Giants?) and a free $200 bet for new players.

How to redeem:
1: Go to dkng.co/hoboken

Hi!

10/22/2019

Greetings from RNO airport! Andrew here, waiting for my delayed flight to start boarding.. a mere 2 hours from now... 🤨 Just wrapped up a fun 5 days of RIU Reno and it seemed like a good time to say hello.

Next up on the MUGs playlist is a Halloween-themed affair, this Saturday the 26th at the South Point in Las Vegas. Wear a costume. The best one wins a prize! Since it’s a Saturday, we’ll get things started early and get cards in the air at noon.

After that, we’ll be heading to Deadwood, SD on the 8th of November. It’s my first time stepping foot in the state. I’m hearing I should bring a coat? We’ll have both 1/3 and 2/5 available for your gambling pleasures. It all takes place at Cadillac Jack’s during their Fall Deadwood Poker Championship Series.

Looking forward to cards and beers with everyone soon. In the meantime, here’s the latest MUG vid from yours truly. 👊🏼

We've got a proper long form poker vlog with SO MANY HANDS to watch unfold. In the mix at the Hollywood Park Casino, and we're hopping through TEN tables of ...
