Just like a casino, we ran a couple tables of card games. The first, and easiest (in my opinion) was blackjack or "21." The difficult part, I'm guessing, is learning all the jargon (or specific vocabulary) to play the game. If I want a card, it would be a "hit," if I just want one more card and to double my bet, it's "double down." If I have pairs and want to play two hands, it's a "split." And if I'm happy with my cards, I just want to "stay." Each particular occupation or group has very specific language, even if it is just a simple card game.
More complex, was Texas Hold 'Em. Knowing what "hands" (or group of cards) beat what other hands was the most difficult part of that game. Also, I think we all saw that luck plays a big part into how the game turns out. No matter how much you understand a game, or how much effort you put in, luck often determines the winner.
At one of the tables was five card draw. Again, the difficulty is knowing what hand beats what other hand. I think the order goes like this:
High card
1 pair
2 pair
3 of a kind
Straight
Flush
Full House (2 of a kind, 3 of a kind)
Four of a Kind
Straight Flush (with Royal Flush being the highest)
Because I received no responses to the last blog entry, and we are still talking about games, I still want to know what kinds of games do you play. What specific language (or jargon) goes with those games? Do you play with family or friends? Do you have any special rules (also known as "house rules"). Let me know anything about any games.
