game, So the writer has recalled some
Of the experiences of the game.
Every poker player has dreamed Of
holding four aces. with n "stayer" and
a play, Few men have seen four aces
lose. Here is n play which was in
teresting:
The game was six handed and the
a next the deal passed a jack pot.
Two others did likewise and the fourth
opened. The NTH man looked at his
cards and nearly tainted when he saw
four aces. He had wanted four aces
long enough to appreciate his good
fortune, and n sudden carny spirit
entered him. He decided that he at
asst had the wonder hand, and he
proposed to make the most OF it.
He hesitated and then stayed. The
dealer promptly raised. The a who
had opened raised the dealer and the
a with four aces was "a the seventh
heaven Of poker delight. Having some
knowledge of the dealer he hesitated
again, INDUCED In some poker talk and
then called the two raises.
The dealer raised again and the
opener as promptly raised him, The
man with four aces suddenly decided
to assume the attitude Of a man draw
INK to a flush. and after some grum-
bling called the bets. The dealer called
and the draw was on. The opener
stood pat, The man With four aces
drew one card.
