If you're new to EMU then here's how it works:

- I will ask you 4 questions
- You PM me an answer for each question
- You get 1 point for your answer and 1 additional point for each person who gives the same answer as you
- Highest Score wins

This sounds like sheep I hear you say. Well here's the difference:

- If you give the highest scoring answer for every question then your score gets reduced to zero!

tl;dr - You only want to sheep 3 out of 4 questions and you still want a decent score for the other one.

The Questions
1. Name a poker book
2. Name a movie with some poker in it
3. Name a variant of poker other than No Limit Hold'em
4. Name a really good hand to have in No Limit Hold'em

altonacke, AlwaysFolding and I pretty much answered the last one the same but had varying levels of specifics, thus costing us the W.
07-19-2017 , 06:01 PM
Great work!

What was the winning combo? And what's the most you could've gotten in hindsight?
07-19-2017 , 06:18 PM
I hate the supposed difference between straight flush and royal flush. It's pointless.
You may as well specify that broadway is better than a straight.
We all know it is, but it doesn't need its own category.

Obv, in the case of this EMU, it does make a difference. I'm just generally ranting.
07-19-2017 , 07:17 PM
Nice reveal. Thanks for running this.

I nearly went straight flush instead of royal but thought it would get less answers. Would have shifted some winners around slightly. Or added multiple I guess
