Test
Put your big boy pants on and play cards.
Common sense should apply.
If your in a hand, stay off your phone and don’t show others that are in the hand.
Don’t talk to the dealer
Muck your cards in a Timely manner.
Speed up the blinds and change the blind structure.
This includes myself.
And fuck Rich, he has scared away more people from the game with his obscurely loud behaviour and his way or the highway attitude.
Everyone just put your donation in and play cards

Why don’t we just simplify things, I think our game is pretty good as is but some have suggested length is an issue? It appears the majority are cool with trying to up the blinds at some point?
Maybe we could eliminate the 25-50?
4 hour game, I think we can include a 3 min 7th inning stretch.
40% of players are gone by then any way.
Focused, courteous players will equal faster play. Imagine that?
I had no idea we were so divided. Hmmm. As of today. 10 have voted

1) 9 to 1 yes …….cancel time
2) 5 to 5 …….pay 3rd

Haven’t heard from a few. Floyd, Kevin, Dunning, Godfrey, Sean C, sorry if i forgot any regular players.
Hey Al,
I think you miscounted the bonus time chips it looks like 5-5 at this point.
As people vote remember we don’t want less players at the table and this may cause some to not play.
And why kill the break people?? Make it 3 minutes then?? Everyone is usually back anyways??

So what if someone is late. All you are going to do is piss people off it will be the beginning of the end of the game.
You are under the crazy notion that coming late has some kind of advantage. IT DOES NOT. If you think so, come two hours late every week and see how you do.
