Sick Poker

Note to all: When people are feeling a little under the weather, forget about playing games which require balls. Whether it be Iron Cross, Two Card Guts, Bouree, Spit or Don's Game (not sure of the real name), about ten dollars will change hands over the course of an hour. On the other hand, Texas Hold 'Em, Seven Card Stud, and Omaha seem to be okay.

Don's Game it always has been, and Don's Game it shall remain.

Don Rosenburg is a science teacher in New Jersey. He had a birth injury called Herbs palsy, so he has limited use of one of his arms, which is shriveled. When playing ultimate frisbee with Don, you'd get in these situations where you and Don had grabbed the frisbee at the same time. Don always won, even when against younger, bigger, stronger guys. It was like all of his body's power was concentrated in the one arm that he had to use for almost everything.
