OST 3: Moses Lays Down The Law

He may not have parted the Red Sea, but our very own Plains Moses did a nifty job of manipulating the Rivers in finding his first OST victory of the season.

Ironically, I found the following little quote related to Moses on Wikipedia , and it seemed oh so approapriate:

"Some medieval Jewish scholars had suggested that Moses' actual name was the Egyptian translation of "to draw out", and that it was translated into Hebrew, either by the Bible, or by Moses himself later in his lifetime."

You're freaking kidding me. We play once a month against a guy who by name, is the Biblical definition of a suck out (no offense to ye of Hebrew faith). We're in trouble.

Rounding out the top four were:

1. Plains Moses > $260
2. Jack Chaser > $130
3. Roop (Devil's guest) > $60
4. Holy Mohly > $30

We've been averaging a pretty good turn-out this season, and placing in the bonus points with the numbers we're pulling can make a huge difference to anyone's season. If things haven't hit for you yet, stick with it. We've got a lot of poker yet to play!

Rules Update

Please see below for an important point of clarification related to all OSTs moving forward, beginning with tonight's game.

If you have to leave a tournament for ANYTHING: your house is on fire, you got a mad case of the squirts, it's a full moon and you were about to "wolf out" or your mistress has called with an opening in her schedule; with no plans of returning - you will be automatically placed out of the tournament at that time, and your chips will be taken out of play.

This rule will not apply if you need to run out to the car or grab a smoke, but please make your intentions clear, and try not to miss a blind. If you leave with the intention of coming back but do not return within 30 minutes, you will be placed out at that point of the tournament.

I'm anticipating that there will likely be some subjective measures around this, but wanted to make the spirit of the rule clear and known. If you leave for good, you're out. If you need to step out, be back (very) soon.

Heretofore, this clause in the rules will be referred to as the "BlindDogg" rule, in honor of WhoDogg (who forced its inception).

Seating Update

Skrawg's blown-up the seating assignment construct, and will be seating folks as they arrive this evening. We thought it would save time to determine seating in advance, but it seems like it's created more confusion than anything.

Good luck (unless you're in a pot with Porq), and we'll see you all tonight.

Seating: OST 3

Skrawg may need to do some re-configuring, as we may have to go to four tables. It's now looking like we should be able to accomodate all players.

Asses To Elbows

If you haven't already done so, please RSVP for OST 3. We're looking at possibly having 30+ show-up this month, and want to ensure we have enough seats. Don't even think about eating shrimp at lunch on Tuesday!
