I've never quite got the hang of poker beyond playing against my Amiga for the honour of seeing a badly pixelled representation of a disrobed lady on my screen (I was fifteen years old at the time).
Way back in the day I used to play a variation on Blackjack with a buddy of mine, games used to go on all night and we'd talk nonsense, smoke cigarettes and occasionally enjoy a beer or two. Them were the days...
Because back then I was still at school and therefore short on disposable income, the currency of choice during our games was matchsticks.
"I'll raise you one Ship for your Swan Vesta".

Not sure if anyone can help with this one, but we used to play a game christened "Three Card B@st@rd Break" which involved obtaining three cards of the lowest value as the remaining cards in your had at the end of the game were totalled up. Damned if I can remember the rules...
