RainMaker poker is for entrepreneurs, engineers, designers, and anyone else involved in or interested in startups to come together, play poker and meet people. We plan to hold Poker games in San Francisco and around the Bay Area, and while they are primarily about playing poker and having fun, we plan to only allow founders of tech businesses and people with tech related skills to attend, so it should be a wicked networking opportunity too. If you are looking to hire someone, or if you are tryin …

Poker Meetup Group, Welcome!! Meet local Poker faces to test your hand against us in a Texas Holdem low-stakes cash game. This group is for people who love to pl …

… We will have a couple events a month for men, like having dinner or drinks, playing pool, hiking, social time, sporting events, poker nights, kayaking, mountain biking, etc, where you get to hang out with other guys. And occasionally, since we don't live in a bubble, we'll have an event open to families, friends, wives, girlfriends, kids, etc. So, join us and have a chance to recharge your testosterone batteries.

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 …

I started this group to meet like minded folks in the South Bay with the hopes of having more group riding opportunities.  There are other rider groups that sponsor social events that may or may not have anything to do with riding.  We will not do sponsored club rides, charity rides, poker runs, movie nights, bowling, karaoke, etc.  This group's primary focus is the ride, the event or destination associated with the ride is secondary.  Group riding itself creates the opportunity to socialize. A …

… "If you've been playing poker for half an hour and you still don't know who the patsy is, you're the patsy." --Warren Buffett “In this world, nothing is certain but death and taxes” --Benjamin Franklin Consider the quotes above and realize that the government or taxes is our biggest opponent. No matter how much wealth we've accumulated, “the taxman” will always be at our doorsteps. How we deal with taxes not only affects the growth rate of our wealth accumulation but also our distribution/spe …

Tired of boring networking groups? This is a MeetUp for attorneys by attorneys who want to have fun while they network.

Let's Make friends, get clients, advice and save our spouses and significant others from the boredom of our daily lives. * if you are not a lawyer, please don't ask to join this group. Thank you.

Okay, I'm putting this together on a whim to see if anyone is interested. I'm from the midwest, and we play a lot of board games there. I think it's a great way to actually get to know people and have a great time while you're at it. I'm also interested in figuring out exactly what makes a good game so addictive and fun. Anyone interested in meeting up and seeing what we can collectively come up with? Some of my favorite games are Balderdash, Settlers, Scrabble, Poker, the standards of chil …
