I don't play poker or gamble but I did enjoy the story and the craftsmanship of your writing style with its intro relevant to FS then the song which we all know and finally the humorous vignettes related to it. Well done. A good read.

Wendy, thank you. I do like the game, but not much of a gambler. Terry.
Comment from Jesse James Doty
These are fun examples of Kenny Roger's song The Gambler. I love how you showed that each game had a different outcome.
This is an excellent tale of how to lose or win in life and at poker.
Thanks for sharing this outrageously fun example of how to play poker!

Post on Sunday from now on. Lol. I ran through my sixes like I was in hell and my underwear was soaked in gasoline. These were funny and clever and after reading them all I enjoyed the 300 check one the most. Poor innocent Sarah. All she did was wash his clothes. Funny stuff. Gretchen

Gretchen, Thank you for the great review. I'm just posting for the fun of the story. I am not after any ratings. Last year I did try to keep higher ratings and did post on Sunday, but not now. In fact, I disable my stories so as not to be in the ratings. Good to hear from you. Terry.
Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
You did a great job with your post, Terry.
I enjoyed reading it. I liked the one about how
the floor that was empty was part of the outcome
of the game. I hope you get many entries into your
contest.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

Comment from royowen
I was one of the losers as a gambler but thanks to God, I learnt to run away. You've written a very witty and and very clever post Terry. I think the real gamble is whether one plays the true game, one is being a "winner" in the ways of the world, or a winner of souks, being what God intended. Beautifully written, blessings Roy

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
I am not into gambling, know nothing about poker and I hate losing money needlessly or taking chances with it, so I would make a terrible player! I think we sometimes take risks in life and base our decisions on experience and hope the outcome is good. An interesting write Terry, I was entertaining, love Dolly x

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
These are some fun stories about poker-playing. Regrettably I'm not familiar with the rules etc. But it seems that you were very much guided by Kenny Rogers in your tactics which was a nice little theme. I love the camaraderie between you all and the passion for this game! 2 small edits: para starting On a Tuesday - had no (tenant); para starting Phil, Roger - modus operand(i) Thanks for sharing Terry. Debbie

Comment from Douglas Goff
Another brilliant piece by a brilliant man. Very nice play and intertwining of the Kenny Roger's song. The following gave me a good laugh:
Phil and Roger looked at me. Phil said, "Do you want to keep playing?"
"Might as well. It's not gonna get any worse."
(Been there done that!)
Good stuff Terry. You're still my favorite.

Comment from JSD
Some excellent little stories here and I love the way you frame this with the great Kenny Rogers song. My favourite is the strip poker one, although sometimes the foreplay is worth it!
