[wellibob]

yes you can play by videolink gizzajob. Especially if mistereff is at the table. The conflict of interests between you should be interesting.
That would be £40 though.

As per earlier conversation at the mansions re. poker names, how about Drummond "card counter" Calder ,
Stevie "royal flush" Cowie(only time he`s prepared to gamble)
I`ll leave others to you as I can`t think of anything suitable yet

Or Stevie "jammy" Cowie, "snake in the grass" wellibob and Mister "caveman" eff - they all describe some of the playing styles on show this afternoon!

[wellibob]

This is the weekend for the poker tournament.
If the game is off on sat (most likely will be), is there any objections to holding it on saturday afternoon or we could have a final practise sesh on sat at least. (for mad woman & Rab nanana to learn how to play)

If not
Tourni starts 2pm on sunday at Cthulhu's lair.
Entrance fee is £20
That qualifies you for 2 games of poker
Winner of each game will receive half the stake of that game (£10 per game)
There will be snacks / drinks served at the 1/2 time interval.
I'm reliably informed that someone will bring a digital camera so photo's can be put on shiretrust website.

players so far are:

royal flush shuggie
milk shark caveman mistereff
Silent but deadly wellibob
Card counter strumps
pack lunch boy rab nanana
Old sea dog ramz
mad woman Linda

still have 1 place left at table if anybody is interested (Twinkle)

may all your cards be wild and all your pots be massive

[Strumps]

If the game is off I'm ok for the big game to be switched to Sat. I do have a family matter to attend to so the afternoon would be best.

Still need to look out my funky geer for the cameras !
