*NOTE: This thread is open to everyone. Knowledge of poker is not required to join the thread below. It is open to everyone. I was at first unsure about a plot but this popped into my head after Kydd and my favorite high roller joined.
Perhaps, if the two parties and more are willing, Mike and Doc could take the very green Kydd down the proverbial primrose path of high stakes poker and teach him their tricks of the trade, so to speak.
But this is not to say that the plot is entirely centered around poker. There is the Sporting Circuit, money, liquor and, the always lovely, women. But there is danger, too, as you saw in my first post.
For a reference about the sporting circuit I would suggest the Mel Gibson movie "Maverick". Although fictional they hint at such a thing existing and that there were women involved in the game. Oh what luscious distractions they would present to unseasoned player.
High rollers, lower rollers and everyone in-between are welcome.
Ideas and Suggestions are always welcome. (Texas Holdem was nonexistent in 1870) Basic Poker Rules - www.directoryofonlinepoker.com/basicpokerrules.shtml

Admittedly, I actually don't know much about poker ( :rolls eyes at self: whose dumb idea was it to make my character a poker player!? ) but I like the idea of Mike and Doc taking Kydd in hand and teaching him a real lesson - more than just poker lessons. He has a lot to learn after all, hee ,hee. Whereas Holt and Holliday have the smarts and the proper style to survive on the sport circuit. Could be lots of fun actually.

No worries about not knowing much about poker as I think this story line is actually more about learning about the lessons of life, regret and the importance making the right choices and taking chances. Also, how to bullshit your way out of tough situations. The poker games will be more of a backdrop than the center of the story. Just an FYI.

Evie and I are game. Evie, I would imagine, is a good poker player, or at least fairly good player. And she would be a pretty face to add to the game if y''all don't mind me jumping in!

*Stands up and takes off hat. "Not at all, pretty lady. And I am fairly certain Doc won't mind, either."
