The Friday Poker Table · The Hague, Netherlands

The Hague, Netherlands — where the McSkunkville story finds new porch lights. These days, The Hague travelers stop at the Quick Stop when the highway brings them through, and The town ledger lists The Hague among friends.

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 The Hague and 38,000 cities beyond. Full directory.
