How things work at “Woody’s”
1. We play every 2nd Monday.
2. At 8pm I will deal the cards, so it would be nice if you came a little early.
3. I do not take a rake, so please don’t piss on my bathroom floor or pour your beer onto my tables.
4. * “We” skim $50 from the pot at the end of the night to go towards our Tournament of Champions end of season game.
5. **Losers drink and eat for free: The 1st place winner brings a case of beer to the next Monday’s game and second place brings the snacks. Chips, pop, licorice etc.
There is nothing worse then watching last games winner come down the stairs empty handed…Fuck me, how does that happen?? If you think you may not come to the next game then give someone else the $$ to pick up the shit for you.
6. The winner gets to wear/take home the Champion’s diamond bracelet. Just make sure it is at the next game please.
7. The Champ. No more bullshit where some shit player happens to win the big game and becomes the Champ for a year. I will track everyone’s gross winnings and the player that wins the most money will be crowned the Champ for the year and will get to keep the bracelet. (1st, 2nd and 3rd get trophies)
8. The Champ of the year gets his ugly mug (8x10) up on the wall at Woody’s.
9. The Chump of the year will still be the player that was knocked out first the most often; regardless of how much money he has won.

Payouts:
50/30/20%

*The Tournament of Champions. Freeze out free roll for the winners that have played a minimum 5 games.
All the first place winners from the year are entered into this game. There should be $1300(Less trophy expenses) in the pot from the 26 games. Unless I have spent the cash again, in which case the game will be cancelled. Sorry.
Each additional game a player takes first place in the regular season he will earn an extra 20% in starting chips.
This way the players that win the most games get an extra bonus over the zucchini that gets lucky once. .

Rules/Guidelines: How about we just use common sense? No I guess I better lay out some rules…

-No rabbit hunting. It takes up precious time and the player that didn’t have balls to call the last bet can go fuck himself.
-No “Enzo betting” or as they used to call it, string betting.
-Betting. The minimum bet in any round is equal to the size of the big blind.
-If you put a single chip in the pot that is larger than the bet, but do not announce a raise, you are assumed to have only called.
-Announce your bets/raises. If you are betting/raising to $550 just say so, this way there will be no problems.
A raise must always be at least the size of the previous bet or raise.
-Don’t slow roll. What the fuck is this shit?! Two or more guys are all in and they are all waiting for the other guy to open his cards first?! Fuck off and open your cards. What are we 14yrs old? The same goes for the showdown. If you know you got the shit just show it, otherwise the bettor is supposed to show first. Either way lets just speed this shit up girls.
-Show both cards to win. One is not good enough cool guy, show both of them.
-Shut the fuck up. If you’re not in the hand, keep your comments to yourself. Don’t tell another player to call an all in bet or “go all in”. Don’t call out what is showing on the board. Just “shut the fuck up” as Mark would say. You feel the need to speak? How about you ask who wants a beer and then go and get them for us, Bitch.
Another thing: Shut the fuck up about how you did last night playing Internet poker for play money. We don’t give a fuck about your play money shit.
-Trash talk. If you have been dealt into at least one hand during the night you hold the right to say anything to anyone that has also been dealt a hand at Woody’s ever. (Providing it is not about the hand in play, see “shut the fuck up” above) Comments about one’s race, sexuality, religion, self-appointed nicknames etc are encouraged.
-Do not expose your hand early. If you saw some shit on TV and you think you want to try it on our little Monday night game, how about you don’t? You want to be a star Tony? Save it for the final table at the WPT in Bahamas or some shit, cuz here your cards are going into the muck, mucker fucker. Sure, showing your cards at a casino cash game is allowed but this ain’t the fucken casino and it ain’t a cash game.
-Deliberately acting out of turn is gay. A player who checks out of turn may not bet or raise on the next turn to act. An action or verbal declaration out of turn is binding if there is no bet, call, or raise by an intervening player acting after the infraction has been committed. A player who has called out of turn may not change his wager to a raise under any circumstances.
-Bring the shit. If it is your turn to bring “the bracelet”, beer or snacks, then bring them. You took first or second place at the last game as well as the other player’s cash so don’t be a dick and show up empty handed. (Ask Kevin how fun it is)

-Angle shooting a home game is lame and dangerous. End of story. Nice scratch on your car eh Slope?

*I reserve the right to over rule any of these guidelines if the player’s intent is obvious and an honest mistake has been made.*

If you are coming to the Monday night game please inform me via email in advance. All you have to do is hit the reply button and say "in".

Suggestions? Think you have a great fucking idea that I haven’t already heard. Man I would love to hear from you. Please come to me with your bullshit suggestions, my door is always open.

Thank you,
