Subject: Good feedback received about POKER night
I've already received a lot of positive response! Thanks!
We have 8 responses and all 8 are planning to play.
Based on some of the feed back, primarily, the fact that some people would like to arrive early and others can't arrive until later, I suggest we play a CASH GAME where people can drop in and out at will. This can be a hold'em game or even a dealer's choice game.
I want this to be fun for everyone and I welcome and respect everyone's thoughts and opinions, if we have any quarrels we can just vote on it.
I'm not inclined to dictate anything but I will make this decision……………
As for our 1st meeting tomorrow, arrive ANYTIME after 4:20 and 7:00, end at 10:00
Tomorrow's game will not be a tournament (keep it simple)
More tomorrow, Thanks, Ronnie
Examples ……
Everyone starts with $5 worth of chips, if they go broke they may by $5 again, as many times as they wish, anyone may "cash out" any time they wish. No pressure of getting eliminated, just relaxing playing cards and still a potential of winning some folding money.
chips are "real money"
red= 5 cents
green= 25 cents
black= $1.00
blinds fixed at 5 cents and 10 cents
or higher stakes........ (I like this one)
red= 25 cents
green= 50 cents
black= $1.00
blinds fixed at 25 cents and 50 cents

We are still on! My TBE Email is down so I have not seen any (TBE) emails since 5:00 yesterday.
Those of you with TBE email won't get this message anytime soon.
The roof collapsed directly above the TBE computer room and flooded it, its a mess.
I'll check this HIWAAY email every once in a while via dialup modem.
My cell -is 527-8362 if you need to contact me. -Ronnie
We took off from there!
See you next week and what are we going to do on Christmas Eve? Wednesday the 24th? Can we spell "TUESDAY" ? -KRB
