JohnInKansas, I'd like to play poker with you! Actually, I'm going to visit my 83-year-old uncle who plays poker everyday and I need some tips. I'm not a good bluffer...at least not when my husband is in the game...never figured out how he can read me so well.

Pene, I'm proud of you...spoken like a true Mudcatter...don't miss a thing.

And pardon the further thread creep, but I just heard a joke yesterday.

Little Johnny was doing his math homework when his mom overheard him.

"Two plus two...sonofabitch...four"

"Three plus three...sonofabitch...six"

Mom said, "Where did you EVER learn to talk like that?"

Johnny replied, "Why, teacher, of course."

So Mom had a talk with teacher...

Seems she was saying, "Two plus two...the sum of which is four. Three plus three...the sum of which is six."

(I'll go away now, Mary)
