5-12-08 UPDATE!

With all the craziness surrounding the Slop Chest debacle and the ensuing riot, let's clarify the standards for how that damned thing will work.

NEW SLOP CARDS.  My wife touches the cards once all night and pulls out 10-Q.  Ridiculous!  Since this is the Lakeville (55044) /Farmington (55024) Poker League, I nominate the numbers 4 and 2 to be our new slop cards forever and ever, in honor of the two finest zip codes since 90210.

All in favor? Aye...aye...aye...I...eye...              All opposed? crickets...                    Motion carried! gavel bang!

I have changed the slop chest to reflect this change.  Effing sweet!  Let's see you go all in on THAT!

TO WIN THE CHEST you must hold both 2 and 4  in your hand; they can not be on the table.  The simpler we keep this, the better.  If you have 2-4 in your hand and you win the round, you take it.  Period.

Someone mentioned not allowing anyone to go all in on the first betting cycle, but I disagree.  It was odd that first night because it was 10-Q and Dave was comfortable going all in on it as soon as it was dealt.  If it had been 2-4, he might have held off a little longer.  At the very least, everyone would have spotted his tell.  I mean, it is just so obvious when he bluffs. 

If you get 2-4 dealt to you, go all in whenever you want to.  The rest of us will just have to be aware that when someone goes all in it might mean they have a great hand, or it might mean they have the slop cards and can easily be beaten.  Bam.
