My brother, my sister in-law, my nephew, and my nephew’s actually filming here, and guys

Modal verbs - A2

So we’re playing cards, and I thought this was a good opportunity to do a little lesson

on some vocabulary with cards, right? So my brother, Jon, he just DEALT a hand.

Well, I’m gonna pass it off to Jameson, so he gets to make the first move.

Alright, Jameson- wait- so are — do we have WILD CARDS this time?

Wild means it can be used for any card, it can take the place of any other card.

Correct, so if you have a 2, 3, 5, 6, you could make 10 be that card missing in between.

Okay Jameson, okay umm, I’ll raise it 7.

You’ll raise it 7, what does RAISE mean?

Make the bet bet— Make the bet higher- 7 you’re raising it 7?

Wow, he either has a really good HAND, or he doesn’t wanna play anymore.

Really good hand- hand- alright- here’s my hand- this is my hand.

Okay, you’re equaling 7- yes- okay you can’t call it.

CALLING IT means that we’re done betting, and everybody shows their cards.

But it can’t be called until it gets around once.

Okay, so right now just so you guys know we’re betting UNO CARDS as the currency.

So I’m going to SEE your 7 and I’m gonna raise you— I can’t — I can’t - I can’t

I'm GOING TO call it.  ("I'm uh-nuh call it")

Fold means I’m out, I know I’ve lost, I don’t wanna challenge.

Okay I think you’re BLUFFING, what does BLUFF mean?

Kind of like faking it, lying. Yeah it means   you’re lying, you bluff,

so we say this in real life in other situations too.

Poker Face is when you don’t show people what is in your hand.

You’re not showing any emotions so nobody can tell what you’re thinking or if you

have a good hand or a band, you just have a straight face.

Or maybe you’re smiling with a bad hand, or frowning with a good hand.

Yeah, alright, so DO I HAVE TO SHOW FIRST?  ("Du-I-fta Show First")

As you can see, he had 2 aces, but 10 is wild.

Okay so wait, oh 10’s wild, that’s right, so I have 4 sixes.

So Justin’s hand beats Jameson’s hand, and both hands beat Sara’s hand.

I had nothing. Oh that’s right you folded.

Okay 2 more things, just really quickly, 2 other words- what happens when we’re starting

I’m about to shuffle- shuffle the cards- so I shuffle them, and then I’ll deal them,

and then when somebody wants to play, what do they have to do.

ANTI UP means you have to put your money in.

We’ll start with one in if we wanna play.

Alright so that- I think that does it for today.

That’s a nice interesting poker lesson with all this vocabulary related to playing cards

with my family on New Years, so take care.
