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:
Ryan -0-
Tim -9
Wade 2+2=+4
Tara -2
Dave -3
Bon +10

Derelict $2 to Wade
Trophy to Tim

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.

Rockin' on the Rollercoaster : Game 19
Six regulars and a guest clambered onto the rollercoaster to a raucous guitar soundtrack. Last week's trophy winner took first, and last week's first place winner trophied. The night saw very large pots, and most of that money went to the Dude, who finished up fourteen, and Uncle Rico, who finished up twelve. Speed squealed delightedly when his loss was cut in half by a three dollar derelict win, but the good doctor's cards made him queasy all night and stuck him with the loser's trophy. Rock on, rollercoaster riders. It's Season 2026.

¡Ay, Caramba!
Who knew you could have so much fun contesting less than $2.50 an hour? Cinco de Mayo on the deck was a great time, and everyone finished close together, with the Good Doctor up seven, the Dude down nine, and everyone else in between. (The Dude flopped a straight flush, but his cards were overall muy malo.) The Counselor, who supplied a fine Mexican libation, returned for one night and finished even. ¡Vaya con Dios!
