Two new games

You know those puzzles and games sections in the newspaper? Today's idea features two new ideas for those pages. Two ideas? That's right, I'm bringing back the bonus idea. There, it's back.

Poker challenge: Just a poker scenario where you can see your cards and who has what left for chips, etc. Basically it's a birdes eye view of a table with 6 players and yoru cards facing up. The 5 community cards are up and a wagering history for the hand is in front of each player. Your job is to pick what you'd do. The next day shows all the cards exposed and you can see what would have happened. Did you stay in and lose? Fold when you would have one? An alternate version is to turn over a new card each day and you play along.

Baseball challenge: Same idea but with baseball. You get some stats and a scenario and decide what to do. Maybe the odds play out and you made the right call. Maybe you decide to go against the grain and it pays off or doesn't. You could even just pull real scenarios from old games.

They're kind of dorky but I might play each one semi-regularly.

This Pete Best documentary has the word "bollocks" in it a lot. I assume that's british slang for "drummer".
