Flat Stanley's 1st Poker Experience
















Dear Owen,

I'm not sure if you know this, but I work within the Online Gaming Industry. What this means is that I work for a company that specializes in offering games to play over the internet. Unfortunately for you, the games are only for teenagers over 18 years old. That's because we play with money. But as long as you don't use money, anyone can play! Even you or Flat Stanley. 

My favorite game is called "Poker". Have you heard of this? To get started, all you need is one deck of playing cards (52 cards). Then, you need a few friends or family members. Then all you need is the basic rules here. Have you ever played "Crazy 8's" or "Go Fish" or even "Uno"? Well, it's sort of like that, but a little different of course - - because it's called "Poker". My favorite variety of Poker is called "Texas Hold'em". It's very popular! I know you LOVE your PlayStation and your StarWars games, but what's also fun is simple card games. I highly recommend the game of Poker, and perhaps you can learn how to play with your family or friends. But remember, just for fun! :)

Anyway...

I wanted to introduce Flat Stanley to the game of Poker. So, I took him to one of our company's parties. Here, we had special tables organized so that anyone could come and learn the game of Poker. Very cool. Believe it or not, but Flat Stanley was an absolute hit at the Poker Party. As you can see below, he even had the chance to sit at the Poker table with me...
