Texas Hold 'em Tournament
All,
 
This month’s happy hour will be held on Tuesday, April 18th from 5:30-7:30PM.  It will center on a Texas Hold’em poker tournament, which will be preceded by a brief tutorial.  In order to plan the tournament effectively, it is necessary to have interested parties pre-register for the event.  There is no buy-in for this tournament, but there will be a prize for the winner.  Standard happy hour fare will also be available to people simply interested in watching.
 
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT TEXAS HOLD’EM
 
Texas hold’em has been dubbed “the game that takes minutes to learn, but a lifetime to master.”  Learning how to play is extremely easy, and there is a large industry that revolves around helping you learn.  Information regarding rules and strategy can be found on Wikipedia (and many other sites) at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_hold%27em.  You can also practice by playing for free on several gaming sites, including http://www.partypoker.net.  
 
PLEASE PRE-REGISTER SO THAT WE CAN PLAN ACCORDINGLY.  A sign-up sheet will be posted outside of the grad cube-farm on the 2nd floor of Upson Hall (Upson 245).  Please pre-register NO LATER THAN Friday, April 14th.
 
See you there!
