Activity Highlight - Poker Group
At least one week in the month we play poker, and have two games going on; Texas Hold ‘ Em in the Fireside room and Queen ’ s Poker in the Activity Room. Texas Hold ‘ Em is one of the most popular card games in the world. Unlike professional games, playing poker with us won ’ t cost you a dime since you don ’ t have to buy your chips. Each player is given 50 to start, and
getting more is up to you. We usually have our 2 veteran players there, Donna and Matt, plus whoever is brave enough to challenge them. We follow the rules and take turns, but the competition can get brutal! If you ’ re looking to be the best by beating the best, join us for Texas Hold ’ Em in the Fireside Room!
Queen ’ s Poker is easier to play and remember, which makes it more popular. We usually have about 9 to 12 players, although the more the merrier! Each player is given 7 cards. The dealer holds another deck, which they shuffle and read off one at a time. If a player holds the same card as the dealer, they get to throw it away. Whoever is first to get rid of all 7 cards is the winner, and they get to choose a prize from our candy basket or
make a choice to get a point ticket instead. Sometimes, we switch it up and give each player 10 cards or give the winner 2 prizes. It all comes down to luck, listening closely, and keeping your eyes peeled. If you ’ re looking for a new game to learn, or you just want to win a candy bar, be sure to check out Queen ’ s Poker in the Activity Room!
