[Texas Fold 'Em Beta Thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=516974) Our participants this time will be **Meeko** , **notfrommensa** , **Dolores Reborn** , and **Really Not All That Bright** if they’re still interested. Rules: Each person gets five sets of hole cards. One set is discarded each pre-flop, on the flop, on the turn, then the best of the remaining two is played on the river. Easy peazy. ---

I missed (in addition to the edit window) that Dolores Reborn later in the thread took back her offer, so she will be replaced by **Oslo Ostragoth**. ---

Being on the other side, this time, I just have to ask: Short of using duct tape, how did you guys prevent talking to each other about what hands you had? I would really like some cross talk here of some sort. I am trying not to comment. - And I haven’t ruled out duct tape, yet, either.
