Excited for this event, I need to play some practise games because I don't know all the rules anymore. Someone want to play a friendly game with me somewhere this week?

What’s great is the game gives you that cheat-sheet where you can see the strength of the winning hands. Once you know what beats what...then it’s all mind games after that.

Get in a public game. $25 but it will be a good warm up before we go up against the XDBDX varmints.

@Dodge are you still playing?  If so one spot is left.

[Dodge 7,265]

That's not how this works.

In @omarcomin71 and my house growing up...it is exactly how it worked.

But it is a new world compared to our parents born in the 1940's

[pete_95973 4,383]

Okay the tables have been drawn. 

On Sunday @LimeGreenLegend will be hosting a private game and inviting these players:

@Protocawl@Banketelli@Hatch@omarcomin71@Beez

I will be hosting a private table at the same time and inviting these players:

@Dodge@RammsteinDUDE@Con@Lann@punkbish85

Each table will play poker for one hour, time to be kept by Lime and me.  At the end of one hour the three players with the most money will advance to the final table.  The player with the most money at the end of one hour at the final table will be declared the champion.   If there is a tie anywhere in the top 3 in the first round, additional hands will be played until there is a winner.  Will probably only take a hand or two more due to blinds being forced. If anyone gets disconnected Lime or myself will have to use the PS4 to record the previous footage to see how much that player was winning or losing at the time of the disconnect and apply that difference to their results when they get back in the game.

 If people leave or tell us they can't play before the event starts we will have to balance out the tables and possibly move a player.  Event will start Sunday at 8pm UTC, 4pm eastern time.

Good luck.  Get some practice in because in a little over 48 hours we.....
