Hello Gamblers,
Remember, if you win at poker tomorrow you can buy better presents for everyone, and if you lose you can just give them a card. Either way, it’s the thought that counts and buying obligatory gifts for people as a way to mask the secular traditions of a christian co-opted holiday is no where near as fun as playing poker with your friends!
Get ready for tomorrow night’s $50 buy-in Shareholder Poker Tournament (Tuesday, December 12th at 7pm pacific).
This would be a good holiday special, where Rudolph saves Christmas by becoming a professional gambler.

🏛 The Special Rules
As a reminder, we play with special rules meant to incentivize certain (bad) behaviors. Some of these rules have significant consequences!
Mean Girls: Players on the official Zoom call during the game may collude against players who are not on the official Zoom call during the game, provided that the absence is not a temporary one due to technical issues.
The 2-7 Bonus: If you make it to a showdown with 2-7 you get a free share! But 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 1 share.
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 seven shares.
Cain + Abel: If Mike’s brother Gene is playing (username: webvee) there is a bonus of one share to whoever knocks him out.
Kevin Deuce: If you are the first person of the night to beat someone at showdown with unsuited K2 and yell “Kevin Deuce!” Beau will give you a share.
We’ve retired the Marcus Junius Brutus rule because we no longer play in seasons.
Marcus Junius Brutus: Whoever takes out the season leader (Chris)gets a share.
