THE TABLE SITUATION--FIRST POST!!!

Very liquid situation. Nantucket2 now moved down to a fairly confident. And Austin1 now a borderline lock. Really hope we can get to at least 12 or 13 to cover costs. Thanks everybody for their hard work. I know how much of a nightmare this has been for some guys this holiday season. Seems like some players are afraid of coming back to the Big Easy. Don't worry hurricane season is over and we've no plans to put people up in the Superdome.

Okay folks, we are almost there we just need a little push and some help from each other (refer to the red section). ALSO, IMPORTANT IF YOU CAN'T HOST A TABLE THIS YEAR PLEASE LET ME KNOW, I HAVEN'T HEARD UPDATES FROM MANY OF YOU.

I've split the tables into several categories, locks, fairly confident, don't know/haven't heard back recently, and zero chance.

Locks:
Nantucket 1: Adam Zanelli, Winner Jay Hanley
Last Chance Table: Me, New Orleans Jan. 12th
NYC 1: Robert Pollaro, Friday Dec. 2nd Winner: Joe DeMarest x
NYC 2: Eric Johnson, Sunday Dec. 4th Winner: Ross Wallin x
Cleveland 1: Seth Briskin/David Akers: Scott Jared (100)
New Orleans 1: Me, Jan. 12th.
Metro NYC: Ed Brancati Jan. 1st
Washington, DC: Taylor Ainge, Dec. 9th: Dave Stickney
Washington, DC: Kyley, Dec. 13th Dan Rush x
Washington, DC: Kyley, Dec. 13th Avi Katzoff
Houma 1: Eugene Dudek, December 14th: Brad DuPlantis x
Austin1: Martin Tyson, December 7th: Larry Jones
Austin2: Martin Tyson, December 14th: Brad Fleet

Fairly Confident:
Nantucket2: Adam Zanelli
New Mexico: Sam Eden
Austin3+4: Martin Tyson
Metro NYC2: Ed Brancati, Jan. 2
Jersey Shore, Sean Martin/James Gaffney:
Wilmington, DE: Mike Durbin looking to reschedule closer to Christmas. Thanks to everyone who have helped try to make this staple happen. December 10th

The Maybes/I haven't heard from recently:
David Akers/Seth Briskin/Chris Childress CLEVELAND2 (unlikely)
Sam Eden, DENVER (1)
Mike Lambert, Cleveland (?)
Martin Tyson, AUSTIN 3 or AUSTIN 4 (won't be the same without 3 or 4 Texans)
Jeff McAboy, WASHINGTON, DC (~1 may need to merge)
Eugene Dudek, HOUMA2, December

No Go:
Matt McCullin, ATLANTA, GA
Dan Rush, WASHINGTON, DC
Edward O'Brien, HOUSTON, TX
Keith Gilberti, PHILADELPHIA, PA
(thanks for getting back to me guys)

Obviously, if we get a few of these maybes to happen we are in great shape and it will give us some wiggle room with the fairly confidents. Please get back to me on this if especialy if the status of your table has changed. Also, fill free to let me know if you are a few short and we'll see if we know anybody in your area.
I'll be updating a blog with this information and will send out that address to you in a little bit

Good luck and let me know if you need any help, or if you have any friends that won't to host a table that can definitely do it. We need to get some more locks.

Please feel free to call me if you need any help or have some suggestions.

Thanks guys. I'm looking forward to the 13th of January, should be a great weekend.
