Mark DeVol was a giant a-hole tonight.
Mary won jackpot twice, first with four aces, then with a 9-high straight flush. It’s the fourth time she’s won jackpot twice in one night.
Other players who have won jackpot twice in one night:
- Frank
- Ike
- Mark H
- Paul*
- Warren
- Bill
- Mike S*
* – Paul and Mike Stefanidis have also each won jackpot three times in one night.
On a hand of Texas Hold ’em Hi-Lo Declare, Phil looked disgusted when he saw that each of the other three players in the hand had declared high. But then Phil looked down and saw a single chip in his hand. He had also intended to go high, but had mis-declared! He ended up collecting the low half of the pot with his two pair. (Turns out he would have lost if he had declared high as he intended.)
Paul is really scared of jokers.
When Bill called Buck ’em, Paul asked if we could play the game without a joker in the deck. He claimed that it makes the game more exciting, but it’s pretty clear that he’s just frightened of jokers for some reason.
Remember in the old days when Paul would call Pai-Gow Poker? He’d always play it without a joker, even though everyone else (including casinos) plays it with a joker!
Maybe a joker really scared him when he was a little kid, and he’s just never gotten over it.

With all of the Joker incarnations available, I’m glad you selected the “classic” version. And any of them would make me wary about playing “against a joker.”
But why are 2 jokers included in each deck?? Are they afraid you’ll lose one?? You can always use the additional cards (eg: company brand, rules of hold’em, order of hands) to play with up to 4 jokers in each game !!
