The Poker Table - June Stargal - 12-10-2019
(A man sits alone at a table, idly shuffling a deck of cards. A visor casts a green shadow on his face from the solitary overhead lamp. Next to him, a small glass of three ice cubes and a double shot of apple juice slowly drips onto the green felt of the table. He looks up, and a slight smile causes a subtle twitch of his moustache.)
Howdy pardners, fine day for a game, innit? Have yourselves a seat and ol' Rusty'll deal you in. Ferst hunnert chips are free.
(A leaflet falls out of his vest pocket. On it are printed the rankings of poker hands.)

I'm sure up for a game of poker! I don't actually know how to play but hopefully I get to learn how to play from you
RE: The Poker Table - June Stargal - 12-11-2019
Whoever has the best cards wins the pot, it's that simple!
You'll need to put 5 chips in the pot to join in on a hand. You get two cards dealt, then everyone can either raise (increase the bet), call (match the bet), or fold (throw in your cards). After 24 hours, anyone not called will automatically fold.
After that, three cards are laid out on the table, and there's another betting round. Then a fourth, then a fifth. Once everything's settled, the pot goes to whoever has the best cards combining their hand with the open cards. A triple beats a pair beats a high card, and the mightiest hand is a royal flush.
I reckon we'll need a couple more folks joinin in before we can start.

(I absentmindedly flick a 5-chip towards the pot. It ricochets off a presumably-there chip, and slides to a stop a couple centimeters too far. The chip that it bounced off of is nudged.)
There's my ante.
RE: The Poker Table - a52 - 12-11-2019
i put in 100 chips. i haven't even looked at my cards yet.
RE: The Poker Table - kirinMaster - 12-11-2019
watchs what the others are doing and decide to put in 35 chips in
RE: The Poker Table - June Stargal - 12-12-2019
Hold up, you've got to match the bet of 100 chips, or fold and duck out of this round. Why not take a look at your cards first?

RE: The Poker Table - Numbers - 12-12-2019
How many cards are being dealt total, and are there any other card combinations in play? I need specifics, man.
RE: The Poker Table - kirinMaster - 12-12-2019
Can I raise?

Like I said, once this round is settled, three cards will be dealt to the table. These are available for everyone to use. Following another betting round, a fourth card is drawn, and eventually a fifth.

You don't have enough chips to raise over the current bet.
RE: The Poker Table - June Stargal - 12-12-2019
Hmm, looks like I dropped a leaflet in the first post with the combination ranks.
RE: The Poker Table - Numbers - 12-12-2019
(I slide over enough chips to match the bet.) Best be able to bluff well.

RE: The Poker Table - June Stargal - 12-12-2019
Whoa there Numbers, don't spill on the cards!
Reyweld, another apple juice on the rocks for the nice bulbasaur.

gets up to get a drink of root beer and gets back in my seat
RE: The Poker Table - Reyweld - 12-12-2019
*I shake up a drink mixer and pour from it a fine yellow apple juice into a low glass with ice. I slide this and a rootbeer down the counter.*
RE: The Poker Table - June Stargal - 12-12-2019

RE: The Poker Table - kirinMaster - 12-12-2019

RE: The Poker Table - kirinMaster - 12-12-2019
I guess I got beginner's luck
RE: The Poker Table - June Stargal - 12-12-2019
Well, a52, Numbers, you had a good run. Had a nice sit down and a refreshing sip of beverage, but now your luck's run out. Like I said before, the first hundred were free. The second hundred...
Are also free. *If* you ask nicely.
RE: The Poker Table - kirinMaster - 12-12-2019
