Moin.

Mal ne Frage in die Runde:

Hat jemand vielleicht Lust so einmal im Monat abends in ner Kneipe in #Oldenburg (Oldenburg) #skat , #doppelkopf und/oder #poker zu spielen (kein Geld!!!)?

Und ggfs. ein Bier trinken, politisieren und die Welt retten?

Wäre nicht schlecht, das evtl. zu teilen...

Danke!

Incredibly, this is my only #SCOOP update, the morning after the final day. Why no updates throughout? Because I didn't make a final table all series, much less win a trophy. I did, however, have a winning series - including pulling the top bounty in one of the Mystery events (that's bound to help!). I also managed to play a few live cash sessions during May, again, all profitable. So, disappointed not to have some #PokerStars hardware coming my way but pleased with the outcome overall. #poker

game idea: Elephant Poker (name pending)

Rules are as Texas Hold 'Em, except:
- each player starts the game with one Trinket
- when you KO a player, you may take their Trinket
- regardless of whether they had a trinket, a KO'd player may re-enter the game. the other players are "taxed" to provide the appropriate chips:
- richest player pays half
- everyone else pays the rest
- first to three Trinkets wins.

Watching The Big Game on Tour. Wild cash games with pros and actors with 1 loose cannon amateur staked to play. It is a lot of fun to watch, especially with Jennifer Tilly and Phil Laak at the tables. Michael Ian Black is also a hoot.
