Doesn't Badblood always talk about his "guns"?

G-Vegas sounds dangerous.

What's funny is that they were arguing over the RULES!!!!

What's the best low hand? Do you have to declare? Is there a qualifier? Does a straight flush beat 5 of a kind? BANG!

Well, there is always that one hand that beats quad aces...

Was Greenwood Phil there? Will anyone from Greewood be at BadBlood's this thursday? Should we come packing?
on the serious side-- Will any presure by local official be put on our frienly games in G-vegas?
lets hope our local media friends (hint hint)will not push this too much or they may.

Info from someone close to the investigation:

Freeman folded out of turn.

Pot was $2.

Alcohol was flowing freely.

Your familiar G'wood poker-playing partners weren't there.
