I agree, it looks as if the book was either poorly made, well used, or disassembled by cutting the thread that held the pages together. The pages appear to now be loose and simply kept in the cover as if it was a file folder.

If you look at the tab, you can see some writing peeking out. (See attachments below.) The best way to see the details of the rules pages is to go to Uncle "Lucky"/thedealer 's profile and see the "Rules". Here each page was scaned and placed in its own image, so it's larger and more detailed.

On "Rules 01" we see a backwards "N" and a backwards "E" over an "O" and an "X"

On "Rules 01" we see "EN" over "XO".

I don't think this really tells us anything except that one blank page in a bible was scanned and then mirrored before the "rules" were drawn on when the images were created.

But then, as the Cat in the Hat said, "The best way to find out where something is... Is to find out where it's not.

during the video, the camera lingers on the name CUSTER just before Robert dies, maybe nothing, just a literary allusion to Custer's last stand, but you never know

Just putting in my two cents...

At the bookstore, we get old books in all the time. Old, badly-made books use glue to keep the pages in between the boards...and I see books with breaks like that all the time. Even in old Bibles. If they aren't sewn, then the pages will fall out easily after time.

I collect old books, so half my collection is un-openable because of breaks like that. My theory is that the PMs needed to put something in an old book, opened it really wide to get a good picture, and broke the spine.

Just my thought.

PS - Vector, can I have some of that acid you are doing? Wink

I can second that on the book spine issue. I've seen Bibles that look exactly like that once they get old. They can look like that even when they haven't lost pages. So, either could be true.

I was just wondering if someone knew what "post the dead" is in poker.

You guys must have seen this come up...a pop-up that asks if you want to "...Post dead 5+2?" So, what is it?

I didn't get a ss of the pop-up, but I got it in the chatlog.

Any thoughts?
