More Poker Madness

My nieces were on Easter break last week and stayed with us at the farm so Sis2 could work.
Hilarity all 'round.

Then of course, they want to play games in the evening after dinner and before bed.
What do you think is the favourite game of the eleven and six year olds?

That's right - Texas Hold 'Em!

Yup, gambling teaches great numeracy skills, as well as process, rule interpretation and statistical likelihood. Not only that, but who to be a gracious looser, and in their case, non-gloating winners.

Little one had a bit of a tell though, when she had a strong hand she would say:
"I'm liken' *that* pot!"

Fold, fold, fold around the table.
