Hello,
šØš¦ Hey, itās time to play poker again! This will be my last time playing from Canada, and Iāll be enjoying the fine craft beers of Ontario for the last time. Iām looking forward to getting back to LA so I can play at 7pm pacific instead of 10pm eastern. Oh, and we are planning to leave very early in the morning, so I probably wonāt rebuy and make be making wild bets to get to bed early.
š Season 4 Prize: Only one month left in the season! Kathryn has agreed to try her best to get a character in her new show named after the winner of the season.
How The Season Works: Every season is 3 months of games which ends with a "high stakes" game of $50. Last season the champion was Chris so he currently holds the all powerful Shareholder Hope Coin, but unless he takes the top spot he will have to pass it on.
šŖ Reminder: Grab your "Free Chips" every time you log into PokerStars. While worthless these chips allow you to rebuy and you can ask Nick what happens when you run out. :(
š„ Bonus Rules In Effect
The 2-7 Bonus: If you make it to a showdown with 27 you get a free share!Ā ButĀ it only counts when there are five or more people at the table. (so if we are split up at the beginning, you might be out of luck until the tables merge). Be sure to announce this as it can happen quick and someone else needs to witness it. If you *win** in a show down with 2-7 you get five shares.
The Hope Coin Slayer: Whoever takes out the holder of the Hope Coin (Chris) gets 2 shares.
The Final Countdown: If seven deuce is played as the final hand of the tournament the player will be given two shares, and if a player wins the tournament with seven deuce they will receive 7 shares.
Marcus Junius Brutus: Whoever takes out the season leader gets a share (currently this is Beau).

š Final Thoughts
I need to read a poker book or something, Iām tired of not getting any better and losing all the time. Itās fun to play, but after this long I should be betterā¦ But this week Iāll probably lose again because I have to go to sleep so we can get an early start.
