The Creators
Shawn & Jodi Pittman
One Badass.
One Femme Fatale.
We’ll let you decide who’s who.
Don Williams
We can’t decide if he’s a better dealer or player.
Either way he’s a force to be reckoned with.
Hello from Bob and Nod (Bobbi and Jodi)!
We wanted to let everyone know a few key things before Tuesday’s Bobbi and Jodi (Bob and Nod) "takeover" the Brainerd Lakes Area Poker League for April Fools Day!!:
1. The doors to the poker room (The Blue Room) at Yesterday's Gone will be closed, and players will not be allowed to enter until 5:00pm (we have things to get ready!!) – The main bar doors will be open! Take that time to enjoy their delicious food a drinks!! Once doors open – see Bobbi Thiesse or Jodi Pittman for your seat card and an extra item! 😳
2. There will be a 9 table limit for this game – a wait list will be generated for those who do not get a seat!
3. There will be no coupons allowed at this game!
4. At 6:00pm – Jodi and Bobbi will do a short presentation of the events for the evening – all players and wait list people should be there for this! (If we have hearing impaired guests at the game, we will have an interpreter during the presentation and will have rules printed at each table as well!)
5. Fair warning – This is regular Texas Hold-em, but it isnt!
As always with our takeover games, if you are easily angered or triggered – this may not be the game for you!!
See you there!! ~ Bob and Nod ... See MoreSee Less
