I like poker.
Even though I usually lose, it’s still fun to play.
As long as the stakes are low.
(Then when I lose, I don’t feel bad.)
Stakes…?
Have you heard that word before?
No, not steaks. (same pronunciation).
These kind of stakes.
That means, you can lose a lot, or you can win a lot.
And that’s where we get our next Poker English Expression:
The stakes are high.
Have a great weekend and let’s continue talking about Poker English next week.
I cannot come back right now, it’s too much at the stake here.
I don’t play poker, but on the other hand I like the steaks well done!
I like the Steaks englisch or rare
I don’t play poker but used to play cards many years ago. 🙂 I also miss VV and may come back in the spring.
As I wrote earlier I don’t now how to play poker but I like do Slot Machine at Casino only for a small stake, just to have a fun.
It looks hopeful 🙂
Thank you
It sounds wise and reasonable. And, of course, such a behaviour requires strong self-control and a sober mind.

My family and I used to play poker when I was younger. We had pennies as stakes. Pennies were the smallest money in the country at the time.
If I remember correctly, we all had 100 pennies (1 euro) at the beginning of the game. Our stakes were not high.
Have a very nice weekend to all of you!
It’s thé first time I hear the word stakes.
Thank you for let us Know it Mr. Vig..
