Get the monkey!

Well, one of my favorite poker buddies started what has turned into a grand tradition at his weekly Tuesday night poker game.... Everytime someone wins a hand with Aces full or better (Aces full house, quads or straight flush), he pulls out his toy monkey that screams a ridiculous monkey sound when pressed or flipped and, depending on the power of the hand, lets him scream over and over again celebrating the big hand.

Well, last night was "Monkey Night!" He came out four times! 3 sets of quads and 1 straight flush! And I didn't have a single one of them.

I would strongly recommend a practice like this for any home game. It is exciting when it happens. It is always funny. And there's nothing quite like the feeling of saying.... "Get the Monkey!"
