A couple of months ago we got a 10/20 dealers choice game running at Georgetown Poker Club. If you have a monthly VIP Membership for $99 then you play completely free of time charges every Monday.
So we regularly play until 3-5 am after starting at 7pm, it's been a great value.
There's another guy I met who runs a variety of invite games at a club in Austin, including some mixed games as well on different nights.
Recently players in my game were wanting to expand to a 2nd night, so I told them I'd poll everyone and see what will be most popular.
This gamerunner plays in my games and I've played in his. When I messaged him I let him know I didn't want to step on his toes and asked him to let me know what nights I should avoid so we aren't conflicting.
His response was "if you go beyond Mondays I won't be able to support your game any longer"
I did not respond to that text. Then on Sunday he sends out a mass text advertising a 10/20 mixed game at the room he hosts in...........for MONDAY NIGHT!
I heard from players who showed up at our regular game that he was texting them telling them they need to "pick sides" and that this is "war" and he allegedly offered one guy $100 to go play his game instead!
Anyway, just thought it was funny I try to do the courteous thing and this dude tries to compete with my game and take it down. My players aren't going to choose your game for $10/hr when they can play my game without paying a time charge dumbass!

Proper communication could be the key?
