Okay, so I tried answering without looking.

It's a long one this week. Good Luck to all who participate! Answers will be posted on Monday.

1) In the poker game "Football," whihc cards are wild? 3s and 6s are wild. Usually you pay for 3s. And 4s typically get you an extra card. Do I get extra credit for the part about the 4s?

2) What card dealt-up gives you an extra hole card? This is typically a 4 face up.

3) What '70s pop star played Dan's poker buddy on the sitcom Roseanne? I don't remember the '70s.

4) What fast-talking, flamboyant Texas gambler sought out publicity by going on national talk shows after winning the Wolrd Series in the '70s? Guessing it is one of the big 3: Brunson, Slim, or Moss. Strikes me as something Moss would do.

5) What are you doing if you are "sandbagging"? Sandbagging is when you are intentionally playing below the level you are capable of playing at. It is typically done to make people believe that you are much worse at something than you really are. This is very typical of pool sharks/hustlers, but is also seen in other sports where various division levels are available for play.

6) What's a "rush"?One full straight shot of Heroin.
Also a music group.
Finally, it is when you win several hands in a row, collect several pots, and often begin playing very aggressively feeling like you can't lose.( because everything seems to be going your way.)
