The '''Delaware Valley Poker Club''' ('''DVPC''') is a friendly group of poker players who wish to compete against each other in low-stakes poker tournaments online and in-person.  Participants will each contribute $125 to a "Jackpot Challenge" which will be rewarded to the best-performing '''DVPC''' player after a series of tournament opportunities.  That winning player will use that jackpot to buy into a large-stakes poker tournament, and the winnings (if any) will be distributed on a pro-rated basis back to the entire Club membership.

Participants must play in '''no less than 5''' of the 11 following alternative tournament options.  Players must e-mail the '''DVPC''' mailing list and clearly declare whether a particular tournament is "counting" as one of the selected five (5) toward their Series ranking -- '''before''' the tournament starts. Participants are welcome to play in more than 5 tournaments, but they may only declare 5 of them, and only '''before''' the tournament begins.

This way, ''all'' '''DVPC''' participants stand a chance of making back original stakes (and then some), while the Jackpot winner will earn much more than any of the rest of us, even with taxation considered.  Gentlemen, is this really any different than trusting your money with a mutual fund manager?  I say not.
