Answer for those too embarrassed to ask in person...
 
 
Question... What if I only make it to a few games, can I still play at the final table?

Answer... Sure thing, as long as you finish in the top 2/3rds in terms of weekly accumuation points over the regular season. This should be relatively easy to do based on most peoples' play last year...
Question... Ryan Foulk gets really angry when he folds before the flop and then flops the "nuts"! Will this be tolerated?
Answer...

Yes, part of the fun will be to see how angry we can get Ryan.

Question... If I only make it to a few events do I still have to contribute $10.00 to the final table?
Answer... Yes, get over it, you're already finding excuses for not coming? Please don't give us the old "my girlfriend may want me home on Thursdays" you lame-ass, gutless shit. It’s January, February and March — what else do you have to do???????
Question... How late will we be there?
Answer... We will only play one official game each scheduled night. With bonuses being tied to knocking players out and with Gallo playing rather than “rangering” we should finish on time.
Question... Is it true that Beau is always bluffing?
Answer... Yes.
Question... Will we always play Hold'em or will we mix it up with other games?
Answer... Stupid question...just look at the name of the club. Does it say the Northville Omaha Club, or the Northville Old Maid Club — I think not! As Jay would say, please save any complaining for golf season.
Question... Marty Gallo is scary, will he be allowed to physically intimidate people if they play?
Answer... Yes, verbal, physical and mental intimidation are all welcome, he is just better at it than most.
Question... I heard that Joe is a pretty intimidating player, didn't he come in first place last year?
Answer... This is partially correct. You may find it difficult to call someone who wears a suit jacket with open-toed sandals, a personalized leather bracelet from Cedar Point, and an iPod Nano chock-full of Hootie and the Blowfish "intimidating". On the other hand, he did come in first; but let's face it, Randy came in second.
Question... Should we post something about this in the NHGC newsletter?
Answer... What is the first rule of poker club? Never talk about poker club!! What do you think?
Question... I am getting married this summer. What if I need to pick out flowers or something on a Thursday?
Answer... Just say "That's a great choice honey, you are so smart, I can't wait to marry you" and then drop her off at home and you can still make it by the first flop.
Question... Can my Dad play when he visits?
Answer... Of course, but I think there is a local high stakes bunko tourney scheduled for Thursdays as well. The strategy and challenge to win at Bunko may be too attractive for him to pass it up.
Question... I have a tattoo, can I still play?
Answer... Although management looks down on body art in general, tattoos are acceptable, as long as we can all laugh at them. Chinese symbols are particularly welcomed.
Question... Is it true that Wags never bluffs?
Answer... Seriously, have you seen his golf game? Do you think a guy that plays like that could ever bluff?
Question... I see a lot of guys wearing sunglasses on TV, can I wear them during games?
Answer... Sure, the only things you can’t wear are yellow mock turtlenecks, bright yellow shorts, Michigan State gear of any style or Ben Sherman dress pants that are two sizes too small. Havana Joe wide brimmed hats, Trucker hats of any sort, shoes with buckles and NY Jet gear will be allowed, but they are just plain embarassing.
