BRITISH POKER
 BIT DIFFERENT
Deal Two or Three Cards at Time to Bring About
 More Pairs
Bv McOUOWN WRIGHT

Somewhere in Southeast Asia, Feb. N.-(UP)-The British and Americans In this theater have something in common in their fight against the Japanese. But there is nothing in common in their brands of poker playing.
 British poker-at least the 1n- dian army variety-gives the tradi- tional, cigar-smoking, cards-to-vest, American poker player cause to shake his head in wonder.
 In British game-they call 1t "school"-the cards are not snuff fled until there is a full house or better. To add insult to American tradition, members deal two or three cards at a time. This makes for more pairs and two pairs than in the American game.
 This action, an American points out, Wrecks the carefully worked out tables of odds on which his game is based
 In the British game, the dis cards of the previous hand are col lected and placed on the bottom of the deck without shuffling.
 It breaks down to thiS-the Amer ican bases this poker playing pure ly on calculated odds, while the Britisher plays according to the odds plus his memory of the cards which are discarded previously.
 Differences are usually solved by compromise-either by the American slipping in an occasional surreptiti- ouS shuffle-mumbling an apologetic 'so sorry, habit, you know"-or one card -at-a-t time deals.
 A good compromise is dealers choice in the matter of dealing ant shuffling, just as in the choice oi the game.
 The British, however, enter en- thusiastically into games that de- viate from pure poker which arc taught by Americans,
 The British are attached to sever card stud, Spit in the Ocean" anc even "Columbus," in which aces fours, hines and twos are wild (Get it, 1492).
