Poker

[...]

So I'm at the regular Thursday night game, playing stud. There's two queens in front of me, one sporting a club and the other an inviting red heart. I look across my at my competitor who's showing a small straight which makes me laugh. My wild one-eyed jack in my hand will blow everyone away - what a great feeling. Have you ever felt that way?

[Dr T Non-Fan]

Did you get a raise out of anyone?

Do you have your ace in the hole, too? What a joker!

[Jables]

too bad you weren't playing draw poker or you could've thrown a jack off and gone for a third queen.

Hey now, that kinda chatter can get you banned!

I thought you were playing poker? What's with the wild cards rookie?

You were playing what? Cause that isn't poker my friend.

Deuces, Jacks and the Man with the Axe?
Night Baseball?
One Eyed Jacks and Suicide Kings?
Acey/Deucy?

How 'bout Old Maid and Go-Fish while we're at it?

I just wish I had the stones for high stakes poker. Since I don't, I often get sucked into some of these games at my neighborhood 'Friendly Game'.

I was waiting for MNPOKER to weigh in. Isn't that what they refer derisively in the Norseland as "Iowa Chimp Games"? Also I thought the term "Stud" meant no wild cards?

I thought "Stud" meant you didn't draw cards (i.e. to distinguish from Draw poker)

Stud games are when some cards are face-up and some are hidden. This creates different strategy and different probabilities than draw poker.
No drawing in the traditional versions of these games.
5-card stud is 1 down and 4 up.
7-card stud is 2 down, 4 up, and then one down.

Guts is fun, but it usually results in someone losing a bit more than they were hoping to in a 'friendly' game.

He's just hoping to poker later.

If that is "poke her"; based on the description of the playing partners, there is no her around and it is not a game I want to get involved in.

Sign on an old saloon: Liquor in the front, poker in the rear. :wink:

You still owe me a game.

And a death in the next 30 days.

For RFSCDME votes, right? I'll get to it...

Al Lewis is gonna go down. Hard.

[Happy Skunk]

Plus when you decide to hop into a Asop game I am paying your way in.

But it has to be a surprise.

Al Lewis...tick tock

We'll find a time for it
