Changes Coming . . . Maybe?

In the interest of bringing more people into the game, relieving some of the driving by the Gurnee people and getting more sleep, we were thinking about changes to weekly poker. While we will talk about it more on Thursday, I'd thought I'd give everyone a heads up.

1. Poker will be late Sunday Afternoons.
2. The game will go on a 12 week cycle.
3. The most weeks you can be in for the Championship is 8 (this give 4 weeks you can miss without being penalized)
4. You get one flex week. This means if you pay you $5 and you suck that week, you can have that week not count against your standings. The $5 still goes into the pot, however.
5. The game will rotate to different homes. If you'd like to have a game at your house once in a while, that's cool! the plan right now is to rotate between Harvard and Gurnee, but that can change.

These are only idea's. We will talk on Thursday. let us know what you think.

Thursday Highlight

Justin Takes First!

Justin "I'm not Justine" Takes first place in the September 11th, "Where are my cards?" Texas Hold'em game. Congrats to Justin! It is rumored that the winner actually showed emotion during the game but without some sort of proof, it is considered just a myth, sort of like bigfoot.
