Miguel was the big loser tonight, although it was only a $44.00 loss. It’s the first time Miguel was the big loser for the night.
Miguel called a round of 3-5-7, a Guts/Challenge-type game where 3s are wild on the three-card round, 5s are wild on the five-card round, and 7s are wild on the seven-card round.
We’ve played 3-5-7 before, but not very often. (Mike Stefanidis won jackpot with a straight flush on a round of 3-5-7 back on 27-Dec-2005.)
Paul called a round of Four-Three, but without Mary or Bill in attendance, the pot never grew above its initial amount.
Mark D | +$10.00 |
Paul | +$40.00 |
Phil | +$2.00 |
Jeff | +$38.00 |
Lyndon | ‑$25.00 |
Miguel | ‑$44.00 |
Mike S | ‑$9.00 |
Jackpot is now $52.00.
I had the singular honor of exhausting my roll before the button ever came to me!! But thanks to a late infusion of cash, I was able to play the 3-5-7 and hold on until the end of the night.
Speaking of 3-5-7 I really liked the “chip-in-hand” that means you are staying; this is tons better than doing the 1-2-3-drop that gets many players in trouble. A few times, we had to force a player to stay due to a 1-2 second delay in the drop. Of course, they had imbibed heavily so it is understandable.
A further sign of the effect of spirits: that same person kept on asking “What card is wild?” To which we kept answering “Count the cards in your hand.”
