We are heading up to the Peppermill in Reno this Sunday 1/22 & 23, to watch the 49er's v. Giants game and do a little gambling. There is a VP tournament during the same period and I thought I would give it a try. I have played quite a bit of VP but have never played a tournament. Any advice would be truly appreciated. Here are the rules and some information. Thank you very much. Tom.
