Put on your p-p-poker face for this weekend’s Texas Hold ‘Em Tournament benefiting J.L. Long sports programs. Card skills dusty? No worries — get there early for a poker primer, where you can learn the rules. $100 gets you $3000 worth of chips and proceeds from the games go to middle school kids’ sports. It’s a win-win, even if you lose. And you stand to win a TV, sports tickets, restaurant gift certificates and more.

Sat. Jan. 29 at the Backyard Beach Bar, 7530 E. Grand at Garland Rd. Doors open at 6 p.m., poker primer is at 6:30 p.m. and games begin at 7 p.m. Register here.
