PLAYERS LOOKING FOR VENUES: HOME GAMES, BENEFITS, GAMING JUNKETS TO CASINOS

This group is for guys who are either new in town or just want to meet some cool people. I just moved to the Bay Area and am looking to meet some other guys to do some of the things I enjoy, such as drinking wine, talking about life, playing poker, hiking and playing sports. I've got a great girlfriend so I'm not as interested in going out to bars and scamming on hotties (but we can reminisce about that one time...). If you enjoy conversation and meeting new people, let's all grab a beer or a gl …

Have you seen "I Love You, Man"? Kinda like that. Your founder realized that at 40, he had pretty much given up on having guy friends and found himself sitting with "the girls" way too often. Not a gay group - just dudes looking to get out a bit more, and do more than drink & watch sports. Married or not, kids or not - you just need some male bonding. Also - gay dudes welcome - it's just not a dating group. I've always wanted a poker group, but don't play poker. A drum circle without the hippies …

Hello there, "Two Wild and Crazy Guys" welcome you to our amazing group. Founded by Dorian and Nick, two close friends of over ten years, this group is all about having fun and meeting new folks. Basically, we often find ourselves getting into spontaneous Bay Area adventures and thought it might be fun to invite other cool cats. Everybody has a few close-nit friends that they would take a bullet for, and vise versa, but why not expand your network of friends so that fewer bullets will hit you... …

To join this group you must have serious goals and ambitions in this sport, as well as dedication neccessary to make progress towards your goals. We'll be very selective about who we allow to join. …

**you must be 21 years old to play, IDs will be checked*** I have created this group as I have found it difficult to find small SNG or tournaments to enter with slow blind structures and reasonable buy ins. I am going to be hosting a monthly $40 SNG in San Rafael. I am looking for other people to host to add to the schedule. My end goal is to have an event once a week. Leadership: I look at this as a non-profit organization. I look at myself as CEO and Founder as I am paying the $144.00/year i …
