Poker aficionados are aware that poker is a gaming event that involves the need to focus, strategize and find the right tactics for each individual situation. Poker is known as one of the most intense games that the online gaming genre has to offer.
But amidst the highs and lows, there's room for a laugh or two. Poker jokes are a testament to the fact that it’s always possible to lighten the mood with some light-hearted humor that will help to keep the good times rolling.
Evolution of Poker Jokes
The evolution of poker jokes mirrors the development of the game itself. Poker’s roots are in the early European casinos of the French Riviera but the game is mainly known for the important role that it fulfilled as a diversion for the settlers, farmers and ranchers of America’s frontier West. The poker played in those smoky saloons of the Wild West has, over time, evolved, first to the poker rooms of Vegas casinos and today to the virtual tables of the Internet.
Together with the game itself, poker jokes evolved over time to encompass the entire range of what playing poker means today. There are jokes about poker aficionados, tournament play, different hands, the various platforms, the different variations of poker and more. From classic quips to modern memes, it’s fun to add some Juicy Stakes poker humor to your game.

Buddies
Two couples were playing poker. One of the men, Fred, accidentally dropped some cards on the floor. When he bent down under the table to pick them up, he noticed the wife of the second man, Dan, wasn't wearing any underwear. Dave was shocked but when he went to the kitchen later to get some refreshments, Dan’s wife Patty followed. She asked, “Did you see anything that you like?” Fred admitted that, indeed, he had.
Patty said, “Well, you can have it but it will cost you $500.” Dave considered the financial and moral cost but in the end, confirmed that he was interested.
Patty told Fred that, since Dan worked Friday afternoons and Fred didn't, Fred should come to her house around 2 p.m. Friday afternoon.
On Friday, Fred showed up at Dan and Patty’s house at 2:00 sharp. He paid Patty the agreed sum of $500 and they went into the bedroom.
Afterwards, Fred dressed and left. Later that night, Dan came home from work. He asked his wife, “Did Fred come by the house this afternoon?”
With a lump in her throat Patty answered "Why yes, he did stop by for a few minutes this afternoon.”
Her heart nearly skipped a beat when her husband curtly asked, "And did he give you $500?"
With her best poker face, Patty replied, "Well, yes, he did give me $500."
Dan said, with a satisfied look on his face, “Good. He came by the office this morning and borrowed $500 from me. He promised he'd stop by our house this afternoon on his way home and pay me back.”

Puppy Player
There's a traveling salesman who loves to play poker. Every time he visits a new town, he manages to find a game.
One night he's led to the back of a saloon. Seated among the locals is a German Shepherd. Seeing the dog is surprising but the dog is playing nicely so the salesman takes his seat.
After a few hours, it’s just the salesman and the dog in a head-to-head showdown. The salesman raises, the dog raises back. The salesman raises again and the dog calls.
The salesman opens his hand to show three queens. The dog turns over a flush. The salesman is so impressed with the dog that he isn't even mad that he lost the hand."You know," he says to the one of the locals, "that dog is really pretty good."
"He plays okay," says the local, "but we usually beat him." "How?" asks the salesman.
The local answers, "Whenever he has a good hand, he wags his tail."
