Hon TO Win at Poker
By LOUIS LEE ARMS

Most anybody can tell another man
where ne played his hand wrong IN
either Of these games.
Whisky poker is played with a
widow in the centre OF the table, and
probably it was she who drove 'em 10
drink. Mistigris is "ot, as it might
at first seem, the name of a river in
India. Il turns out TO be poker played
with the joker. We have heard poker
played with the joker called many
things, but never mistigrls. Freeze
out is the ancient game Of elimination
and, as its name suggests, II is consid-
cradle of frost.
No Bowie Knives
Progressive poker, played with four
or more tables, probably was invented
by a shifty minded group of husbands
who are trying to convince their wives
tina. poker is not played with powdered
glass or bowie knives and does not
necessarily continue until sunrise. You
can guess the kind of game progress
sive poker is when the author tells us
"there is BOBBY table, at which six
are seated"
The author then debates some Of the
rules Of the game. He has a few Pc
culiar ideas. One is that, when il
comes his time, man should ante. II
is evident the author has never played
any poker with big league ball players.
"He puts up any number of chips not
exceeding half the limit" says our au-
thor If he did, we didn't see him.
Touching lightly on the important
matter Of Raises. the author says: IF
a bet be raised by player who is in
his regular turn, the next player must
see the bet or retire" Ii he had gone
TO bed in the first place he would have
saved a lot Of money, but we had never
heard it suggested before.
Value of Hands
Describing the value Of hands, our
authority says:
The STRAIGHT FLUSH-This is
the most unusual of all hands TO hold
and Il is the highest in value. II is
not only a straight, but also flush.
Many games of poker may be played
and a Straight Flush never seen. Two
straight Pushes Of the same value
may be held at the same time.
The author has more confidence in
the straight flush than a friend Of ours.
81 amt sayin' there amt such q
thing" ne declares, but If any one
ever makes one Of 'em in a game I'm
sittin' in all I'm asking is the ice privi-
leges on the deck"
II our friend ever saw two Of them
made at the same time he'd probably
want to start a skating rink.

Julian Street once said that, because
the game played there was so shrewd, a
stranger might lose his fortune at
poker in Missouri But he need not
worry" continued Mr. Street blithely;
"he can 90 to any other state and get
it back"
Ex-Missouri poker players who have
come East will learn with regret that
a book has been published on poker.
It is entitled Poker, How to Win" and
the price is 10 cents. A dime is a dime,
but If it is possible to learn how to win
at poker for 10 cents-well, there are
certain things a man owes his family.
The author in his preface says;
The game of poker is full Of con-
cealed percentages, and there are
propositions in il where player can
not expect 70 win and plays only TO
make his losses light as possible.
(See chapter on Playing Jack Pots,
for instance.)
Those of US who have been for years
frequently ambushed by these con-
cealed percentages will gather new
heart at this tactful explanation, and
all of US will be interested IN sue
ceeding paragraph:
There is such thing as luck. espe-
cially in cards, and it has happened
that at times the most intelligent and
practical players are not winners.
Knows His Business
IL is apparent that this author knows
his business.
But he warns US that, after having
read his book, il will not do for any OF
US 20 win all the time. IL would be
monotonous and in poor taste, and, as
our author frankly decides, If man
never loses he lays himself open to
suspicion" Just so.
The man who never loses not only
incurs suspicion, but he furnishes
many plots Tor some Of our best New
Jersey brand Of Arizona fiction. On the
ether hand. they sometimes send taxi
cabs. as a mark Of distinction, after
the man who always loses.
The game of poker, says our mentor,
is divided into six separate methods,
generally known as straight poker, stud
poker, whiskey poker, mlstigris, the
freeze and progressive poker. simple
mental calcu alton will prove that the
cost of learning how 70 win at each
Of these methods Is but scant cent
and two-thirds.
Straight poker and stud poker are
too well known for extensive comment.
