BARGE is the most fun you can have while playing poker...


This is the home of BARGE, the Big August Rec.Gambling Excursion. BARGE is an online community of poker enthusiasts that hosts an annual event (of the same name) in Las Vegas, NV typically during the week leading up to the first Saturday in August. The event features several poker tournaments, as well as a wide variety of non-poker related activities including dinners, karaoke, a golf outing, a sushi outing, a fun run, room escapes, shows, and shopping. Activities can vary from year to year and are based on whatever people choose to organize. In recent years, we have also hosted a winter event, known as EMBARGO.

Our members communicate throughout the year via email, Facebook, Twitter and other means (including in person).  BARGE began in 1991 and membership has grown significantly over the years.  Our members come from all professions and ages.  The poker accomplishments of our members include over 20 WSOP bracelet winners as well as other major tournaments (WPT, WSOP Circuit). Although we do find that many of our members have backgrounds in technology, science and the law, we welcome and encourage people to join regardless of their professional backgrounds or poker accomplishments.

BARGE Inc. is a 501(c)7 corporation registered in the State of Nevada.


Why Join Us?

Because you enjoy playing poker and want to be part of a diverse community of fun-loving people. We all enjoy the game of poker. We claim several WSOP bracelet winners among our membership. We also have novice players. We host tournaments and live games during our events. No one is pressured to play above their bankroll. We openly exchange ideas and many of our members have greatly enhanced their poker skills via BARGE. But the most important reason to join is: it's the most fun you will ever have playing poker! BARGE is what poker should be!

Here's a video montage from ATLARGE 2019 (courtesy of Dilligaf)!  Enjoy!


OUR NEXT EVENT

BARGE 2021 will take place at the Westgate in beautiful Las Vegas from July 26 - 31, 2021.  Details and schedule will be announced soon.

OUR PREVIOUS EVENT

Due to the availability of poker in Las Vegas, travel constraints, and for the safety of our friends, eMBARGO 2021 took place *online* on February 4-6!   


Please note the following:


All poker events were hosted on Cliff Matthews's MB2 platform (https://devctm.com/), same as BARGE 2020.

EMBARGO 2021 Schedule

REGIONAL EVENTS


Due to the availability of poker in Connecticut, and for the safety of our friends, eFARGO 2020 took place *online* from October 16-18, 2020!   


Visit www.fargopoker.org for additional information. 


Due to the minimal availability of poker in Las Vegas, and for the safety of our friends, BARGE 2020 took place *online* from July 30 through August 1, 2020!   


Please note the following:


  • All poker events were hosted on Cliff Matthews's MB2 platform (https://devctm.com/).
  • A $25 registration fee was collected which allows access to all events and covers the cost of trophies.
  • Tournaments have no buy-in or cash prizes.
  • Events are official events for purposes of BAAP and BARGE records/trivia.
  • Trophies/plaques will be awarded for top 3 finishers in each poker event and winners of non-poker events.


These were official BARGE events, although there will be no official buy-in for these events. A BARGE registration fee will be collected, with proceeds going to the general fund, and to trophies and plaques for the winners. Should a live BARGE occur later in the year, it will consist of a schedule of games different from those played during online BARGE.


As all of the poker events were hosted on Cliff Matthews's MB2 platform, we encourage you to familiarize yourself with MB2 and practice in the free tournaments that are being run every day. MB2 can be accessed at https://devctm.com/. The Organizers wish to extend our sincere thanks to Cliff for providing a platform for BARGE 2020, and we appreciate Cliff's constant efforts to upgrade and improve the platform.


We hope to "see" you there!
