Visual Description:  A friendly(?) neighborhood poker game.

SBRTU  =  BURST,  BLOYB  =  LOBBY,  GTDSOY  =  STODGY,  UEONCP  =  POUNCE   —   Giving us:  BYTOUE

Clue/Question:  When he asked to raise the stakes, his opponent said this.

Answer:  YOU BET

(Hey, Hoyt!  I hope you gave Fred his money back.  Not very sporting of you to take advantage of a friend or neighbor like that, bro.  I’m glad the clue/question didn’t say worthy opponent.  LOL!  Actually, this was a pretty good jumble for a Monday morning.  I liked the clue words.  Especially, “stodgy”.  Everything was well scrambled.  The answer letters might have benefited from switching the order of the last two words, or maybe even the first two.  I think BYUETO, or YBTOUE would have presented a slightly better challenge.  But, the answer really didn’t take a whole lot of thought, regardless of the scrambling.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
