Lions Bull #98 Vol. 5

Thursday, February 2, 2012

PROGRAM: A study session by our own Lion President, Rick Brooks: How to play "Texas Holdum", a variant of Poker, in turn, a gambling game played with thirteen different sequenced cards, categorized by four, thereby comprising a deck of fifty two cards. I mention this for rank beginners like myself. All this comes about because of our (Lions') upcoming Lions' sponsored "TEXAS HOLDUM" tournament, MARCH 31st.
In the end, one chooses his best "Poker" hand from seven dealt cards. What I learned: 1. Don't be afraid to join in the fray and play. At each table of players, an independent "Dealer" will deal the cards and answer any questions arising from the players. New terms like the "Flop", the rule of "Discard" or "Burn" from the "Dealer's Deck", How to "Ante", (I forget the technical name for "Ante".), "Check", and "Betting Rules", the "protocol of play", all answers, referable to the independent "Dealer". A newly learned cardinal rule: "Don't Bluff, unless you have demonstrated that you are a stingy guy, and don't bluff the novice. All and all, a fun session, even attracting the manager of the Sizzler, and a high-flying circulating Norco Vulture, Lion, Ed Soesman. I must plead innocent neglect and some incoherence in the writing of this Bull, as I left my pen and notes at the Sizzler. REMEMBER THE DATE: MARCH 31, AT THE CORONA LIBRARY: FEE TO ENTER AND PLAY = $60.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: 1. Though recently hospitalized, Lion Herb Spiegel is remarkably BETTER.
2. NOTE: The time of the Lions' Speaker Contest has changed somewhat: Same Date: FEBRUARY 16th. BUT: Time: 12:30 for Lunch; 1:00 for the commencement of the Speaker's Contest, ably managed by Lion Dick Avery.
NEXT WEEK: Feb. 9th. Speaker, TRACY MAUSER from Peppermint Ridge:
GUESTS: Maureen Brooks, wife of our President and covert Norco Lion, Ed Soesman.
