Yes, I have joined the craze in Poker and now am addicted to Texas Hold'em. Texas Hold'em is a card based poker game very similar to seven card stud poker. Each player is dealt 2 cards face down then a series of 5 community cards are drawn with betting in between and the best 5 card poker hand from the 2 you have plus any of the 5 on the table wins. What makes this game so fun is that most of the cards are in plain view for everyone to see and use and so it becomes a game of what does the other play have or think they have in their own hand, and what combination can they make. If you haven't played before, check it out on Yahoo! Games; it is an excellent place to start and learn without having to use real money or play with professionals.
Yes, yes, Poker is a lot of fun, with Texas Hold 'Em being my favorite variant. I find a lot of fun in it even without gambling, but it makes it more interesting when you do. It's a fun event for the whole family, if they're old enough.
