not exactly penny ante!

These guys’ souls plus an empty sack is worth the sack.

Sweat

Bleeb better get away from this table.

And just wait till you see the poker he’s got in mind for you.

Why not raise them five Demons? How much value do “bucks” have in Hell?

Joker is the name, poker is the game, we’ll play right here on this bedAnd then we’ll play for the bigges stakes yet The souls of the dead!

Where is the golden fiddle?

Does it make me a bad person if I thought Ah! Souls! straight away?

“Well, the Devil had three aces and a king, and the Lord he was pulling for a straight; he had the Queen, the Knave, the nine and ten of spades, all he needed was the eight.”

Are they down in Georga?

Call the bluff or fold, that is the question!

So if you win, you get the devil’s soul?

Bleeb I’d get out of there

So, seven dollars to call? Better cash in, boys.

Call him, he once lost a bet to a fiddle player named Johnny.

So that’s four souls in the pot total. If one of the humans wins, what do they do with them?

He’s a hellraiser.

Bleeb’s reminding that guy that he forgot his Depends! :)

Who invited this guy ?

What kind of Beelzebubian card deck are they using that has a 16 in it?!

Must be holding three “6”s

Don’t do it!

This reminds me of the Chris De Burgh song The Spanish Train where Jesus and the Devil play poker for people’s souls. >
