Bob, Wald & Arthur here.

Played SQUIGGLES including BB & Dana.

With BB also, played two POKER VARIATIONS by the Amberstones: - COALITION POKER: - A variation of "stud". Each player antes 1 chip. A face down & a face up it is dealt followed by a round of betting (bet of up to 2 with a raise of up to 4), then a 2nd face up with a round of betting. Then a third & final face up betting till a pass out or a showdown. Each player can choose as his fifth card any of the face up cards showing in the other player's hands (including face up cards of players who folded).

CONTRACT POKER: - E ach player is dealt 5 cards. Starting with eldest hand a player may either "bid" or "pass". If he "passes" the next player simply has a turn. If he "bids" however, the following takes place: - He mentions a poker hand (lowest possible is a 6-high hand - highest is a straight flush to the ace - royal). He makes a bet (we used from 1 to 4 - he ante). The other players in turn see or drop (there is no raising). He puts one card from his hand onto the tab
