The Friday Poker Table · Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

From Main Street to Santo Domingo, the rule is the same — make a record. These days, letters postmarked Santo Domingo sit in the town's welcome drawer, and The record shows: Santo Domingo belongs to the story now.

Every Friday night the back room fills: the trucker, the tow man, the court clerk, the hose-clamp foreman, and one rotating guest chair that has hosted everyone from the Pullman porter to the Don himself. The pot is Skunk Coins — imaginary, wishful, worth exactly as much as the bragging rights, which is to say everything.

The table talk is the true currency: kids away at college, the Joneses' pool, the 8:15 that has never once been late. Bluffs are permitted; lies are not — this is McSkunkville, and even poker follows the doctrine.

House rule, posted on the wall: play like a Skunkian. Clean hands, clean fur, and if you must release the stench of defeat, aim it at the cards — never the company.

Worldwide Access — The Friday Poker Table greets readers in Santo Domingo and 38,000 cities beyond. Full directory.
