Full Stack Founder Poker & Ice-cream Social

​​“Ladies and Gentlemen... and venture capitalists who pretend not to be competitive until someone mentions a buy-in...”

​​Imagine this...

​​One minute, you’re debugging your app, the next, you’re invited to a royal poker tournament hosted by a man calling himself the Spice King — who, let’s be clear, has never seen a seasoning he didn’t think he could turn into a personal brand.

​​📣 Hear Ye, Hear Ye — All Are Welcome!

​​Calling all tech titans, startup sorcerers, VC visionaries, and now… card-curious rookies!

​​Yes, you there — the one Googling “what is a flop in poker and is it offensive?” — you’re invited too!

​​This isn’t just for people who learned poker from their crypto cult. This is for everyone — from the Poker Paprika Prodigies to the Cumin Newbies who think Texas Hold'em is a BBQ event.

​​We are expecting around 100 tournament participants.

​​Estimated prize pool: $10,000

​​📣 ROUGH AGENDA

​​5:00 - 6:00pm | socializing & drinks
6:00 - 10:30pm | poker tournament
7:30 - 9:00pm | food & drinks
8:00 - whenever | cash games / more socializing

​​💸 A $100 Buy-In For the Ride of Your Life

​​Venmo: @spicekingofzanzibar

​Bring $100 and that beautiful blend of confidence and cluelessness — because winning isn't everything...but telling people you once bluffed a venture capitalist absolutely is.

​​The tournament will be run similar to the last poker game I hosted (see the document here)*. We'll rotate seats throughout the tourney so you meet new people.

​​​Cash games are table / house rules. If your table decides to play 3-5, you can play 3-5, etc. If you have problems or there is a disagreement, the table resolves it. Anything escalated will be resolved by myself or another host.

​​🪄 Bust Out? Bust Back In!

​​Should you “accidentally donate” all your chips in a single hand (which we lovingly call The Spicy Exit™), fear not! We’ve got side games (1/2 or 5/5 NLH), for your redemption arc — or further character development. And there is always socializing.

​​👑 Royal Snacks, Regal Vibes

​​Your ticket includes snacks and drinks fit for a king — because nothing says high-stakes drama like losing a hand while holding a mini quiche. 🍷

​​Whether you're there to play, learn, or just eat your weight in hummus while nervously whispering “hit me” to the wrong game, this night’s for you.

​​🫡 TL;DR – All Are Welcome!

​​✅ Experienced sharks & curious rookies
✅ Socializers
✅ Anyone who thinks “flop” is just a bad startup pitch

​​RSVP now and let’s raise the stakes together — for fun, glory, and maybe a venmo transfer of slightly spicy proportions.

​​With card-slinging charisma and a cinnamon-scented crown,
— The Spice King 🌶️

​​💼 A Word from the Fine Print Department:

​​The hosts aren’t pocketing anything from this event (unless you count empty snack wrappers and emotional damage).

​​They’re doing it for the love of the game… and because someone thought, “What if poker night, but spicy?”

​​Under the laws of California, this Tournament is legal.
- There is no rake.
- There is no paid staff dealing or working the tournament. Only food & drink.
- Food / drink fees are distinctly separated from the Tournament entry fee.
