The great appeal of Depression Poker is that you cannot lose more than the stake nominated at the commencement of play. This is how It is played.
There are five or six players and the stake and duration of play are decided beforehand: Say $30 and

happens is that al the end of each game the poverty player's or players hands are com- pared with the winner's hand and if a poverty hand is higher than the Winner's, the winner shares the win- nings of
of that hand with that poverty player. The latter thereupon censes to be a poverty player and becomes a cash player. There may be several players in poverty at the same time but they are seldom out for long though they may go in often.

is about the only flaw Depression Poker has. In a a manner of speaking even this seening drawback could be turned to advantage as the player would change his style accordingly and perhaps, with profit.
In straight poker, the poverty players study their hands and draw cards in the usual manner though they do not bet. I can see a little dificulty about atraddling in this game if an arrangement was not ar- rived at before hand as to whether player could straddle if a poverty player was between him and the "blind."
I think the solution would be to accept the poverty player, as
ordinary
player as far as straddle ing is concerned.
The importance of the time limit need not be stressed. If there were several players in poverty it -obvious-they-would-not-bo-anxious to stop play when by continuing they lind everything to gain and nothing to lose. A time limit prevents any such haggling and protects the win
