How Difficult is 9/6 Jacks or Better?
I studied Spanish for two years, 1961–1963, as a high school student in Los Angeles. I didn’t want to take Spanish, but the college preparatory curriculum at the time required two years of a foreign language. Since Spanish was supposed to be the easiest of the languages to learn, that’s what I took. The fact that Los Angeles had a large Hispanic population made the decision a little easier.
Harry’s Problem

I was teaching a NSU (Not So Ugly) Deuces Wild class at the South Point. At the moment we were covering an instruction that read:
‘QJ’, ‘QT’, ‘JT’
These combinations were lower than higher-ranking combinations, including all 3-card straight flushes not including an ace, and higher than lower-ranking combinations, including all 3-card straight flushes with an ace. What this means is that from Q♥ J♥ 3♠ 5♠ 7♠ or J♦ T♦ 4♠ 5♠ 6♠ you hold the spades, but from Q♣ T♣ A♥ 3♥ 5♥ or J♣ T♣ A♦ 4♦ 5♦ you hold the clubs.
You Have the Advantage
I was at a picnic a few weeks back, and one of my friends suggested that we should have our next get-together at the casino. This prompted a lot of discussion about favorite games, gambling in general, and a few bad beat stories.
One of my friends said, “I like to play blackjack, but I never win. I was on a cruise last month and I was playing in the casino. I bought in for $50 dollars and was up $200, but lost.”
I said, “Wait a minute. You said you never win, but you just told me you were up $200 after buying in for $50. That’s a win!”
