More people stepping on each other and VMF can't make up any ground. With one question to go, the only real question is if Evene and Flee can move up . . .

Congratulations to the medalists!

I only had like 20 seconds left for this one and could only think of 2 people, went with the one that's hopefully not as popular

oh cool

gg vmf

congrats other medalists

I'll put up the next game tonight . . .

Nope, pure guess.

I actually saw this when I went on a west coast road trip this past summer, didn't come to mind though

Yeah, I've seen it too. I didn't take the time to find a great picture - I like yours better.

Next game coming up . . .

Event 9: Poker

The first player to post itt gets the button, the last person gets utg.

You're playing razz/lowball (A-5) - the best hand is A2345. Research is OK, discussion about strategy isn't. In each round I will deal 5 cards via pm, then you all call or fold itt in turn. Once everyone has posted, flip your cards.

If you fold, you gain 3 points.
If you call and lose, you gain 5 points.

The first player(s) to accumulate 20 points will be eliminated. However, if more than two players accumulate 20 points in the same round, only the two players with the most points will be eliminated. If there is a tie, there may be a flip.

Deadline: 12 hours (but as in a real game just go if you know you're up). After 12 hours, your cards will be automatically folded and the next player will be up. If I'm not itt to note that, anyone can quote/note the relevant times itt.

Who wants the button?

ETA: I'm just going to rand whoever hasn't posted yet at some point tonight or tomorrow to get this going.

me

next to button for me.

I don't understand anything, but I'm here.

You don't understand the game? It's razz/lowball. The best hand is A2345, the next best is A2346, then A2356. Aces are low. Straights and flushes are irrelevant. You don't want to double up on the same card. In this game you just get the five cards I deal you, no draws or anything.

FTR I thought about doing HORSE or something (because I like variety), but that would be too complicated and confusing imo.

OK, I went ahead and randed the players who haven't posted yet (Akson and Flee), so I can deal the cards.

There were 2 items in your list. Here they are in random order:

Aaronk56's Son
Fleebrog
Timestamp: 2012-04-09 02:24:00 UTC

So the order of play for the first round is

Akson
Flee
Evene
Willi
Tehtoes (D)

I sent everyone a PM with their cards. If you didn't receive it, please post and PM me.

For the first round, the deadline is extended until 6:43 p.m. tomorrow for those not on POG.

Akson is first up - call or fold? Good luck everyone!

My kinda girl, though about Horse and ended up going with lowball (though 2-7 is the nuts)

I was supposed to post? Rules were long.
