We play anything from cards to board games. And anyone who knows us knows that we have a LOT of board games. Gary's favorite is Pictionary but K.C. and I usually veto that one. A few weeks ago we pulled out the poker chips (of which I have a lot) and cards and started playing poker. I'm not sure Brian had ever played before but he is catching on. Last week we were not sure that Michael knew what two pair was.
Typically, Gary has good winning hands and K.C. usually does very well at poker. Tonight I threw them all a curve-ball and played seven card stud - Dr. Pepper. (I know that some of you will know what this is). After explaining that this meant tens, twos and fours were wild (they used to be on the old Dr. Pepper bottles - hence the name), we commenced to play.
Pretty good hand and I bet pretty high on it. Didn't win though.
Now tonight Michael was doing pretty good at poker and he said he wanted to see a blog about game night, maybe a poem. So he gets both. This is for you Michael
WINNING HAND
He thinks he’s a winner but don’t you know
The winnings tonight are only for show.
Every week we get together to play a game or two
And lately it’s poker with chips white red and blue
Dealer’s choice is the game and stakes keep mounting
But the chips you win you shouldn’t be counting.
Five card draw or seven card stud; King showing high
I look at my hand and give a big sigh.
Ante up each hand and try to keep track
Who bid what and how many cards kept back?
Was anything wild? One-eyed Jacks you say?
I’ll take two cards send them my way.
Tonight Michael
held winning hands
And his winnings were becoming quite grand.
Not always the case for him you see
And he wanted a blog post from me.
