Neighborly / Neighborhood Poker

[Richard Hervey]

Does sitting around an octagonal table, chatting and matching wits with friends sound appealing? Do you like card games? Are you aware of many of the alternatives to "Texas Hold'em".  Then you might like playing Neighborhood Poker**.  Our poker game has been running for 17 years.  Participation has varied over time.  We expect that between now and June participation will be lower than we would like.  If you would like to learn more and perhaps give it a try, please call or email Richard Hervey (541-250-1070) or Russell Sullivan (541-754-6636).

** Neighborhood Poker - Dealer's choice poker where the secret to winning is keeping your opponents in a hand long enough to sweeten the pot, and keeping everyone in the game until quitting time.  (Unlike typical Texas Hold'em games, where the focus is to bankrupt the other players.). The stakes are nickel, dime, quarter, with a 3-raise maximum. Everyone throws in ten bucks to get ten dollars worth of chips, and you can buy more if you run out. In the 17 years, no one has won or lost more than $25. So you're not going to get rich or poor playing for three hours once or twice a month. We start promptly at 7:00 pm and end promptly at 10:00 pm. Russell will gladly provide a tutorial for anyone who wants to give it a try.

I apologize for stuffing your in box, and our next game is next week.  So I'm resending this with a high powered endorsement:
