Pass the Buck - Poker (gambling) and Hesse (sh)


Pass the Buck - Poker (gambling)


In a game in which the players deal for themselves (as opposed to one dealt by a house dealer), refuse to deal when it is one' s turn to deal, passing the deck instead to the next player to the left. In some Home Games, rather than each player anteing, the dealer antes for all; in such a game, a player is not permitted to pass the deal, nor can he do so in a game with traveling blinds.

Hesse (sh)




German Hessen

State (pop., 2002 est.: 6,077,826), west-central Germany.

It occupies an area of 8,152 sq mi (21,114 sq km). Its capital is Wiesbaden. It was formed in 1945 through the amalgamation of former Prussian provincial units. The Hessians are thought to be descended from the Frankish tribe of the Chatti, who were Christianized by St. Boniface in the early 8th century AD. Hesse was twice partitioned in the 15th century, but Philip of Hesse reunited the territory. The area has small farms, and the state's Industries are centred in the Rhine-Main area. The ruins of many castles and old churches and palaces are on the banks of the Weser River.
