I had a poker game at the house last night. We called it an old school get together. Dealers choice, quarter poker. With the ante at a quarter, I did rather well walking away with around 100 bucks, lol. I didn’t win that many games, but I won the big ones. The first one was a game of screw your neighbor. Mike played it. We put up 50, 50 and 50 cents, and a 1 dollar charity. The way we play is you double burn on an ace, that’s why you get an extra “charity”. Anyway, Billy had played it a few times through out the night, but this time Mike called it, and he doubled the money. So the pot will be $12.50 to start. We played until Ron and I went headsup. We both had 1 left, and we double burned on 8’s. So we payed, and we all re-antied, and everyone was back in. Now the pots 25 bucks. It came down to Billy and I. I dealt him his cards, and he said he would play it. I also said I was good, and we both flipped over 9’s. TWO double burns. I’ve never seen that happen. So we payed, and we were all back in, AGAIN. We thought it might happen again at the end. I was good, and Billy said he’d play it. He flipped a Jack, but I had a King and I took it down. So I won $37.50 in that one hand. I also won the last hand of the night, which was a $5.00 ante showdown hand. So with those two hands I won $62.50, plus a couple of guys bought change off of me, so I threw $30.00 cash in my pocket.

Not a bad night for just wanting to get together and play a friendly nickel/dime poker game.
