I learned how to play poker at the family hunting camp as a kid.  Cousins and uncles would play for hours.  During my junior high years, the older men had gone out leaving us alone.  We had a game going and cash on the table.  A couple visitors stopped in and sat themselves down.  I suppose they must have figured some extra money would come in handy at their next bar stop.  We cleaned them out of the $14 they had between the two of them.  And they had the nerve to ask for it back.  Too funny!

Learned how to play Euchre in college.  Our roomies from lower Michigan were big on it.  Great game, much faster than poker.  We played each night after dinner during the "MASH" hour, losers rotating in and out.
