I'm Just Trimming the Fat

**I'm Just Trimming the Fat** is the third episode of *Ride or Dies*.

## Description

As another duo enters the game, friends end up turned against each other.

## Challenge

**Challenge Type:** Duos

**Challenge:** *Train Hoppers*

In this challenge, duos will be riding the Subte, Buenos Aires rapid transit system. At the beginning of the challenge, duos will choose one station on the map to start on and be given $20. More money can be earned through check ins. Every 2 hours, starting at 4:30 PM EST, players can check in in live-challenges by posting. The content of the post does not matter; the only thing that matters is how close you check in compared to the hour mark. Money is used to pay the fare to travel from station to station. It's important to travel as after every check in, every duo is allowed to close one station. If the station you currently are at is closed, you will be eliminated from the challenge. You will not be told if someone is at the same station as you. The only way to get position information is by buying it or asking others. Duos can still travel through closed stations, you just cannot stop at one. Traveling through a station costs $1. Traveling through a closed station costs $2. There are also shops which allow you to purchase power ups or information! Balances will not be revealed at any point. This challenge will end when there is one duo left standing. It's possible that the challenge ends before tomorrow. However, this challenge is guaranteed to end by 4 PM EST tomorrow (24 hours). If there are multiple duos still competing, the duo with more money will win. If there's still a tie, the duo that eliminated more duos will win. If there's still a tie, the duo that checked in 1st place more times will win. If there is still a tie, the duo that checked in 2nd place will win, and so on. If after all this, there is still a tie, the winning duo will be decided by who ranked higher in the 1st check in.

## Elimination

**Zone:** *Indian Poker*

In this challenge, you will be competing live against your opponent. We'll be playing a simple card game. I have a deck of 20 cards, the cards being 1-10 of hearts and 1-10 of spades. (so 2 copies of each card 1-10). Each team will receive 30 poker chips. We'll then randomize who goes first. Before cards are drawn, each team pays 1 poker chip as an ANTE. Each team will draw a card but not be able to see their own card. They'll only be able to see their opponent's card. The person who is going first will then either RAISE their bet by adding chips to the pot or they'll CHECK which means adding no additional coins to the bet. Additionally, you can FOLD which means opting out of the round and automatically losing. Play then moves to the opposing team. They can either CHECK, CALL, RAISE, or FOLD. CALL meaning, matching the RAISE set by the opposing team. If they RAISE, play moves back to the other team to either continue RAISING, CALLING the bet, or FOLDING. This will continue until both teams are betting the same amount or a team folds. I will then reveal the cards to everyone and the team with the higher valued card will win. If the cards are valued the same, the bets will be saved in the Pot for the winner of the next round. A special rule: If a team ever folds a 10, they will have to pay 10 poker chips to the opposing team. This is separate from any bets made that round. Additionally, if the game has no winner after 30 minutes, the ante will go up by 1. The ante will continue to increase by 1 every 10 minutes. If we run out of cards, I will shuffle the cards back into the deck and we will continue from there. The game will end once a team has all 60 poker chips.
