Screw it, I decided not to be lazy... and I couldn't find it with search. Perhaps it's too old...

II) GAME TYPES
These options are presented in order to compile preferred primary cash games, as well as generate a list of alternative or secondary games that could be run in the future. Please mark the appropriate answer for each game (or remove those answers that don't apply)
We’re primarily looking for new players who are interested in a lot of different games (or may be willing to learn/be trained in new ones).
Note: this group is not a dealer’s choice/crazy wild card group. The games that are played are primarily the ones you’d find in casino card rooms in the country.
PRIMARY GAMES
a. Hold ‘em
YES
NO
MAYBE
b. Omaha
YES
NO
MAYBE
c. Omaha/8 (hi/low, with 8-qualifier)
YES
NO
MAYBE
d. 7 stud

NO
MAYBE
e. 7 stud/8

k. Rotation games (such as HOE, HORSE, HOARSE whatever- I can detail acronyms if needed)- Specify type, if you have a preference. Again note- this is not a wild card group.
YES
NO
MAYBE
III) GAME SIZE PREFERENCES
Since there are regular games, divergent player schedules and last-minute changes, give me the minimum number of participants, INCLUDING yourself in the count, for each type of game structure. That way, if your threshold isn’t met for a particular game on a particular night, I can warn you before you make a drive.
If individual games require different numbers (say, 5 for holdem but 7 for Omaha/8), list them individually.
Board games- (HE, Omaha, etc)
Stud (indiv. hand) games (7stud, etc)
IV) SCHEDULE PREFERENCES
For the ongoing game, we have established a semi-regular schedule in which to play (schedule changes will be handled on an ongoing basis). Generally we play xx times, usually YY evenings. Please indicate which of the following you could possibly attend on, on a semi-regular basis.
Any-
Tues-
Wed-
Thurs-
Fri-
Weekends- (which may happen on an occasional basis)
I hope to get a chance to meet you very soon and play some poker!
Thank you,
Lottery Larry
