Exactly...superbowl, chili, and dealer choice poker...I'm very familiar.
Burn games are brutal - especially when you are drinking! Bring your balls and wads of cash...playing super tight is the only way (cause nobody notices anyway).
Like moose says...these games can be lots of fun, but at higher stakes they get stupid real fast.
This also reminds me of my first full-time job after I finished high school. I was working at Arnold Brothers as a driver delivering candy, smokes, and over the counter drugs to all of the Short Stops in the Tri-Cities. Every Friday (payday), the older guys working in the warehouse would gather in a back room and play dealer choice poker. The room was dark, smokey and smelled like wet cardboard. Games like 'Airplane', 'high/low Chicago', and others with foreign names were commonly played. I would hang out and watch, never saying too much or getting involved in the game. I didn't have a clue what was going on - but it had always had an aura of intrigue and mystery to it.
