Back in 1975, while their husbands were glued to Monday Night Football, a half-dozen “housewives” decided they’d start a little game of their own: Poker.

What began as a casual card night quickly evolved into a lifelong bond that’s lasted 50 years.

Today, the self-proclaimed “Poker Girls” — all from different backgrounds — are celebrating half a century of friendship, laughter, and a few good bluffs.

Now in their 80s, they’re decorating their old poker room with photos and memories spanning five decades, proving that what started with a deck of cards turned into the hand of a lifetime.

ABC15's Cameron Polom met up with the gals to celebrate their incredible milestone and see what keeps them still laughing, still dealing, and still all in for each other.
