Thanks for everyone coming out to my happy 50th birthday poker day. It seems like it was a pretty good time by all.

Final placements were:

1. San Dip
2. Steve Z.
3. Rich
4. Julius

I might do this every year.

Have to see if I am allowed

Rich, you need help setting up? I could come early.

also might be able to find 4-5 more players if there’s room. Let me know.

I realize it’s a new year and some of you have only been playing here for about 15+ years. As of this moment we have 4 people signed in for Monday. I know I spoke to two people who said they are playing but have not signed up. Please sign in if you want to play. Let’s have fun maybe someone will bring leftover Halloween candy from the weekend.

Sorry Criss (Santa) you will have to win the cup another day.

1. Dan
2. Al
3. Kevin

Is anyone available to play Tuesday Dec. 27th?

We all have to recognize that this is not a casino but a bunch of guys hanging out to have some fun and maybe win some money. We should not be bullying, commenting on others play, not passing card, on their phone while in the hand, trying to be loud, making fun of a play. (There is a difference between making fun and commenting on a beat). If a player(s) comment on another players aggressiveness or another players manor at the table that player has to recognize that others are annoyed at their play. By no means should we all be stoic and just sit quietly but at the same time we are not a bunch of five year olds at a birthday party. If you’re not in the hand watch don’t give your opinion while the hand is in play. Opinion would be I would not have played that. Not why would you play that? We have a good thing going here. Most of us have broken the common curtsey rule. We’re all adults so if someone says you’re bothering them then stop and think before you continue. So please be respectful of others and if you feel disrespected say something. – Evan

This was taken from our own set of rules. I’ve highlighted a few words.

• Players who do not respect each other or this game will be asked to leave the game and not return. This is not a casino or bull ring it is a friendly social game.

Code of Conduct

• • Orderly maintenance of the game and civility among those who participate.
  • A player who repeatedly violates poker etiquette is a disruption to the game

  Cordiality

            Refrain from criticising another player’s play.

  • Limit unnecessary chatter to avoid disturbing active players.
  • Do not be verbally abusive. (family, race, religion or personal attacks)

Seeing as though I adhere the rule of not smashing a bottle into another player’s face, why then aren’t the above rules being enforced?   (Al)
