November’s book: The Curse of Chalion by Lois McMaster Bujold

Join us in November to discuss *The Curse of Chalion* (2001) by Lois McMaster Bujold 📚 **The Pitch:** What if the only person capable of breaking a terrible curse is someone who desperately wants nothing more than to be left alone? After years of war, imprisonment, and torture, Cazaril returns home hoping for a quiet life. Instead, he becomes secretary and tutor to a young royal woman—and is drawn into a web of court politics, forbidden magic, divine intervention, and a devastating curse threatening the royal family. Lois McMaster Bujold delivers a character-driven, emotionally rich fantasy that blends political intrigue with questions of faith, sacrifice, redemption, and free will. Genre: Political Fantasy • Dark Fantasy

It will be a free, Turbo sit & go (around 15-30 min tops) The first person to bust out (with the worst hand as a tie-breaker) will receive a pair of Giants tix. The winner will also get two tix as well. Just a fun way to start the ring game. (\*\*Must buy into ring game to have a chance at the tix!) A little about me: I'm in SF for the next 15 months working on a new card game show...a little about me: I was the Poker teaching consultant backstage on Celebrity Poker Showdown on NBC/Bravo. I had a steady home game in NYC for years with close friends and acquaintances and friends of friends and would like to replicate it here in SF! A few perks of playing in my game: * Free Snacks & Drinks All Night * Pro Dealer (no tipping necessary), Chips, Cards * Good people, Good Poker, Good Vibes--Always * 4 Screens for Viewing Sports--Including NFL Sunday Ticket * Luxury apt, Full Security, w/Off-Street Parking Available * In Beautiful Mission Bay a Few Blocks from Oracle/Chase * You never know when you'll be playing with a Celeb/Sports figure!

(And if you're in, your referrals always take priority--So tell your friends!) In order to get in, please message me a little about you, when you can play, etc., and I will get back to you with further details. First come first served on reservations. I will allow future reservations 1 week in advance. I usually try to have a game Sunday (NFL Sundays!

We usually play No Limit Hold em in the $100-1000 buy in range. D.M.A.
