Hello Men,

   * the new season is here.  We are now starting the second season
   of poker; our 20th game is upon us.  The first game happened on 10/5/95 !

   * Here are some up coming highlights for the new season:

        * double play:  We'll pick an evening and play poker with
        the chips being double their standard value.  Bring $18.00.

        * texas poker:  no wild card games (well maybe just one-wild card
        games); chips will be played at face value.  Bring $900.00.

        * new spread rules will be in effect (see below); however,
        anyone (especially stu) is welcome to put on the ultimate spread.

   * the minutes on the web page are up to date.  John is the leader.

out of their own home.
