Tonight was Paul’s birthday, so we celebrated by eating cupcakes and watching the Miser Brothers sing their theme songs from The Year Without a Santa Claus. (Alernative Huyser Paul Huyser lyrics were sung in lieu of Happy Birthday.)
Unfortunately, it wasn’t a very happy birthday for Paul. He was the big loser for the second Card Night in a row.
We ended up playing Razz for three rounds tonight. (Razz is Seven-Card Stud lowball.) Mark DeVol called it early on when we were short-handed, and it proved so popular that Mary and Glen called it as well.
Mark’s “goofy” games this week were Seven-Card Stud Roll Your Own and Stud 8.
In Seven-Card Stud Roll Your Own, players choose each of their four up cards from among three hole cards. At showdown, a player’s lowest hole card is wild, and all like it.
Stud 8 is simply Seven-Card Stud where the high hand splits with the low hand. However, only hands that are 8-high or lower qualify for low.
Phil had a question for Paul about Uncle Ike. At Mike and Lynn’s wedding, Ike had told Phil that any time he drove to Texas, he would follow his mother’s advice: He stopped every two hours to take a break, and he ate all his meals standing up. Phil wanted to know if Ike really did that. Paul could neither confirm nor deny.
