Texas Hold'em Poker Week

Good Morning, ladies! Welcome to our online crop! I hope you've got your "game face" on 'cause we're ready for some poker!

First of all, here's a website which has some basic rules for Texas Hold 'Em. Of course, we're not following the rules completely as we're not placing bets.

~~~~~~~~~~
Here are our rules:
  • For our game, I will deal 2 cards to each player. No other players will see your two cards.
  • Each day this week (Monday-Friday), we will issue a challenge. Each day we will also show another playing card.
  • If you have done the challenge, you may use the card in your hand. So, there will be a total of seven cards to make your best "hand" of five cards.
  • Please post your challenges on your own blog with a link back to Sisterhood of Scrap. Then post in our comments that you have completed the challenge. If you don't have a blog, you may post in our comments.
  • Challenges must be done by Sunday, November 11th at noon EST to qualify for prize
  • Winner will be announced on Sunday evening

Confused yet? LOL! Don't worry, we'll help figure out your hands when the time comes.
