The Tuesday Night Poker Group is still going strong in providing a night of fun, friendship, and shuffling…
the cards that is!
One tip about Texas Hold'em as a new player, you will be nervous! Everyone who just starts feels that
way, but you will become more relaxed and confident with each Tuesday you come to play. The group is
understanding and always helpful to the new players. Should you be interested to learn before a game night,
there are plans to hold Intro to Texas Hold'em events, so watch for the flyers on that.
Did you know that early games of poker were played with a deck of just 20 cards? According to history
buffs, players only started using 52 cards to play poker in the 1830s. Prior to this, only 20 were used with four
players. Each player was given five cards, and the betting would start on whose hand was the best. It's a lot
more fun now!
We play every Tuesday evening and play starts at 4 pm in Oakmont Room 3. For more information, please
contact Earl Scott at (909) 633-4867 or Cindy Bice at (949) 466-3003. We invite you to come and try your hand
at Texas Hold'em. ~ Cindy B.
Mondays from 2 to 4 pm in Solera just got more exciting! We now have a Rummikub group that has
been meeting in the Oakmont Room, and is open to all. Rummikub is much like your childhood card
game of Rummy, only it's played with tiles instead of cards.
Research shows that social interaction and playing table games are both good for the brain. No
previous experience in playing Rummikub is required, as we are happy to teach newcomers and have
take-home copies of the rules. If you are already a player, perhaps you could teach us a thing or two! We
look forward to having you join in the fun. If you have any questions please call Victoria at (928) 864-
8223 or Connie at (909) 801-9238.
