3. Monthly TAS Poker Game – Calling all Poker Players

If you like to play in a monthly game of poker and help out the temple, MoTAS is putting together a safe monthly online game of No Limit Hold-em. A monthly tournament is a fun way to increase your skills at poker and make a bit of mullah. Games would be played at 7:30 on the first Tuesday of each month. The $20 buy-in would be handled by MoTAS. MoTAS would take 15% of the stakes for our temple fundraising and the rest would be split 60% and 25% by the top two players. Tournaments will take about 90 minutes. If you (yes, men and women) have an interest, contact Howard Miller at hmiller12@socal.rr.com.
