Hope you're enjoying 2010 so far. Welcome to the first episode of The New Net Poker for the year. Some notes are in order...
\ Matt Taylor returns with two wins and CY$30,550 in winnings.
\ This is Game 43 -- so if you played in Game 40, 41 or 42, please sit on your hands and let someone else in on the fun. Can't remember the last time you played? Go to www.dougmorris.net/poker and check out the easier-to-navigate archives section.
Now on to qualifying. The two players closest to the right answer, high or low, get to play.
On October 24, 2009, at 9:30am Central, we watched a GSN rerun of "Family Feud". This particular episode originally aired on ABC. Out of 100 people surveyed, tell me how many people gave the number one answer of "clothes" to this question: "Name something a slob leaves lying around the bedroom."
(time passes)
All right, ya'll are locked in. You might be surprised what the -- survey SAID!

(audience cheers)Scarlett: And now, here's the star of our show, Doug Morris!
(Doug walks out from behind the video poker screen)
Doug: Thanks, Scarlett Gray. Hellooooo, everybody, and welcome to The New Net Poker. You just heard from our new announcer, we have a new set. (audience cheers) But we have our same champion and two challengers to do battle. And our dealer hasn't changed a bit. Here's D.J. Hamilton.
(audience cheers) (D.J. walks out wearing the little black dress)
D.J.: Aw, thanks, Doug. Love this new set.
Doug: As always, we got it done in an hour and a half.
D.J.: A bit longer than that -- but anyway. Let's give our players 10 points each.

Doug: And we'll see you later for our second part of this round. Right now, players, welcome to this day's game. We're going to start with Video Poker and a theme we haven't tried here on Net Poker.

Doug: Respond in Roman Numerals. In a moment, I'm going to ask five general knowledge questions. The answer to each question is numeric. Instead of responding in Arabic numerals, you have to, as the title of the theme suggests, respond in Roman numerals.
For example, if I ask, "What TV show stars Keifer Sutherland as Jack Bauer?", you wouldn't say "24", you would say "XXIV" -- which is 24 in Roman numerals.
Each time you chime in and answer correctly, you earn 10 points. Buzz in and miss -- and we take 10 away and we move on to the next query. After five questions, we go to D.J. and the big screen for now.
For now, hands on buzzers -- and away we go.
