Who plays Sheepshead?

[Scott Campbell]

The Ten Commandments of Sheepshead:

7. Thou shalt not take forever to decide whether to pick.

I've got a crazy uncle that aways says (including in mixed company) - "are you gonna rub the tits off those Queens?" if you take a little too long.

Everyone plays Texas Hold'em now.

Very first time I played I took my two brothers for $60 each.

They caught on to my sweet innocence second time around and it wasn't as pretty.

I see. Well then we better not play for money.

[Scott Campbell]

Mauers are scum!! How much money are you playing for that you can't pick a little thin? She mauers when we're playing for NOTHING!

We always play double on the bump, and use leasters to try and keep people honest.

Five handed, Jack of Diamonds partner or call an Ace.

We always call an Ace.

I affectionately call the "BIG" Queen, the Old Lady, and the "mopsqueezer"

It's an institution somewhere between Friday fish frys and cheese curds.

Playing our handed, three times in a month I picked with both red queens, Ace of D and J of Hearts. Got beat every single time, usually only taking one trick or two max. Damn red queens are a bitch. You get yelled at if you mauer, but you have no guaranteed trick playing the red Q's.

BTW, usually play quarters [25/50/75] but have on occassion played Dollars [1,2,3] Dollars with crack.re-crack, double bump, blitzers can get expensive..

and you can't get an old fashioned out of a BUBBLER

I haven't played Sheepshead in like 10 years. I think we would start out playing that and then switch to "President" (also called Asshole) because we needed something that required little thought...
