Hottest game in town
they all come to our place
to lay their money down

We all bring a little something
to the table to share
the snacks are the only sure thing

Tensions run high
when the cards are hot
and the mouths are dry

We play cutthroat
And show no mercy
raise you .20 on a full boat

We try to keep it friendly
but when losers get to cussin’
it can get a little ugly

We keep the stakes low
We play for dimes
Win a $50 pot and you’re good to go

Deal me in!

Sounds like a tough bunch all the same.....fifty bucks you say....Huuuuummmm....I could use that

Bet limits I suppose.

This is great fun Lori and I can just visualize it all happening.

I check!

Hey Eric, actually we play a game called Rummy Royal which is a card game with poker in it. We play the last hand dealer's choice for the pot.  We just take turns taking home each other's money.  It is fun!

Low ball is my game
Your money, my aim
Just don't stack the deck
Or this room I'll wreck
