News

Dude: "We jumped the shark!"
[Per the Dude:]
It was a balmy night at the 19th hole and five made [it] to play the game we love. Rico made sure the trophy was present by throwing it on the back of his Harley and driving it to [Speed's]. Forgetting the name of Henway, the Doctor called it Cunningham creating a gameless name. The Dude suggested Cunningham is a variant of Henway, only four cards rolled up leaving the last card in each pile down and making it a declaration game. We tried it out and the results were surprising much like Henway.

It was a tight night with lots of pots. The Dude prevailed the big winner at only five up, and the Mohican parachute deployed at only six down leaving the trophy in limbo for the week. The Mohican [Our Guest] also won the $1 derelict hand. Mitch took care of his wood before the night started so he was carefree and relaxed.

Looking forward to having our absent regulars back next week!

In case you were wondering, Swallows are native to Oregon and Sparrows are invasive.

[The Dude] +5
[Speed] +3
[Doc] -0-
[Mitch] -2
[Our Guest] -7+1= -6

Derelict [Our Guest]
Trophy [Not Applicable]

Two Chutes. One Splat.
Per Dude: There were two chutes deployed last night, but only one opened leaving carnage among the regulars! The big winner of the night was the Martian [Our Guest] with his first win ever! His two dollar derelict catapulted him over Speed for the top spot by a dollar. Speed was the only regular to finish in the positive. The good doctor finished even, which technically, is not a loss or a win. Our hero, the hose operator, graciously took home the trophy.

Batman Only Loses When He Folds
(As reported by the Dark Knight:) Tick bites that make you gay was a topic of conversation last night. More specifically, tick bites from the Lone Star tick make you allergic to meat. Apparently, this is a problem for people in the Hamptons. Our resident internet doctor believed this was caused by Lyme disease, but our actual doctor said it was not Lyme disease but something else. Turns out the actual doctor was correct. The illness is called Alpha-gal syndrome.

The night was perfect and so was most of the play with snacks and whiskey on hand. Six regulars enjoyed an entertaining night with everyone still in short sleeved shirts at the end of the night.

The Dude would have won the first 12 hands, but alas, he folded two would-be winners to only win 10 of the first 12 hands and finished as the big winner. Speed won the $2 derelict to double his win for the night. Our friend, Mitch, started strong but the cards turned on him, and he received some home decor for the week for his troubles.

Our main train and padre are predicted out for the next two games. We will adjust appropriately.

The finish:
Ray Gun -0-
Mitch -9
Speed 2+2=+4
Choo Choo -2
Doc -3
Dude +10

Derelict $2 to Wade

First Time In "The Rug Room"
Per host, The Dude: "There were alot of hands played and alot of big hands including the good Doctor's straight flush over the Galactic Derelict's boat, and Speed's quad Aces in Omaha! All four regulars finished positive with the Doctor topping the list with a three dollar win! Our guest, the mohican, financed the wins with his eight dollar loss after winning the two dollar derelict hand. The trophy remains hidden in the Dude's poker room until next week."

It's WIN-conceivable!
How?! On a night when two of the six players were guests, the pots were, again and again, very large, but, somehow, going into the derelict hand, the "big" winner was two dollars up and the "big" loser was five down. The two-dollar derelict pot made Choo-choo the top finisher at just three dollars up. Three. The best cards of the night were without question Our (Martian) Guest's, but the same erratic betting that made him hard to read left his bucket bottomless; after going ten on, he gained and gave back a huge stack, making the absent loser's trophy even less relevant. After all that excitement, that close a finish? Everyone wins.
