Vince, I love this so much! I grew up with my dad/uncles playing cards with my grandparents and great-grandparents. I loved to watch them and serve as a beer runner too. My grandpa would sometimes bang the table with his fist, both in anger and in joy. Little money was ever actually exchanged, but they played joyfully for hours. Their games were 500 and Sheephead (I think that's right) mostly. I played a lot of cards as a kid, mostly hearts and ginrummy, but I don't play that often anymore. Thanks for sharing your stories!
