Early morning writing

[ksmith]

Jani, Tsecha, and Lucien, among others, sitting down for an evening of poker. Of course, the game is representative of All Kinds of Things.

My knowledge of poker is spotty at best.

Why do I do this to myself...?

Well, you could start by a quick tour of Hoyle for the basic rules. Then I'd ask for stories from folks about "house rules" which tend to throw the entire book out the window. I could see this being a problem/conflict with multiple dimensions.

There's the professional poker games on ESPN. I'm sure there are a few decent poker movies out there (http://www.pokertop10.com/poker_movies.html).

Finally, I think you need to add another convention to your calendar this summer and your fans should host a gentleman's game of poker in your honor and for your participation. To be self-serving Shore Leave (http://www.shore-leave.com/) is close to me... (chuckle)

Well, the problem is that I don't have time to do much research. Because I want to write the scene this weekend.

I know the bare bones of 5-card. And given that this is The Future (tm), I can probably tweak things.
