About the Contest
Poker. Simple word. Simple game. Vegas style. Family style. High stakes. Low stakes. A friendly game or a game so serious it makes you sick to your stomach. There are all kinds of incarnations. Ours is a unique style of poker, as it is played during a six week period in August and September each year, on a little piece of heaven (un poquito de cielo) known as the Estrada Ranch.
"Bushwhacking"
"A bushwhacker is a bit like an evil genius - so full of promise at one time, but then something clicked in his perverted spider web of a mind and now the ordinary flow of cards, of winning and losing, no longer interests him. He needs blood." - Excerpt from Don Wright's Poker Guide
