Russian Roulette + Poker = Dead Teenager

Russian Roulette

What the hell is wrong with people?

In Anson Paape’s card game, the rules required the player with the worst hand to do far more than fold.

The loser had to spin the chamber of a revolver, point it at the person to their right and pull the trigger.

The four teens playing with the Elmhurst man thought his gun wasn’t loaded. They watched in horror when Paape demonstrated otherwise.

Well, the one thing you gotta say is that once involved in a hand the implied odds clearly dictate calling all the way to the river.

I wrote about this on my blog two or three years ago, with much the same sentiment as your “what the hell is wrong with people?”. I got a shit-ton of comments from people who knew the kid lambasting me, not understanding that I wasn’t skewering the kid, but the adult. Very strange.
