If you like playing games, Rummikub might be right up your alley. Although it's tile-based, it is similar to many card games you may have played in the past. It's a very easy game to learn and takes about 15 to 20 minutes to complete each game. Our group of players come together to have fun, laugh and enjoy each other's company every Monday from 2 to 4 pm. If you have a few minutes to spare, just drop by to see what Rummikub is all about. We would be happy to have you join us. If you have questions, please call Carole Stone at (951) 385-3450. RUMMIKUB How Texas Hold'em Came To Be, Part II: The "thinking man's game" started to get traction. In 1970, Benny Binion launched the World Series of Poker (WSOP). After the first year, the players decided that No-Limit Texas Hold'em would be the format for the Main Event. The game was chosen because it required a unique mix of math, psychology, and "pure gamble." As Addington famously said, "Draw poker, you bet only twice; in Hold'em, you bet four times. That meant you could play strategically. This was more of a thinking man's game." Finally, while the game was created in the 1900s, it didn't become a household name until 2003. An accountant named Chris Moneymaker won a $10,000 seat through on online satellite and went on the win the WSOP Main Event. This proved that anyone could win, sparking the "Poker Boom" we still see today. The poker group plays every Tuesday night at 4 pm in Oakmont Room #3. Please arrive at 3:45 pm to get signed in, find a seat at a table and then mingle with the other players before the game starts. If you are interested in joining, please contact Patrick Hydo at (858) 353-5241 or at Patrick33hydo@outlook.com. You can also find Patrick setting up for poker between 2:45 and 3:35 pm on Tuesday in Oakmont Room #3. He's more than happy to answer your questions! TUESDAY NIGHT POKER
