Jack, do you want to play some 7 card roll your own, no peek, low spade in whole stud poker? Or do you prefer the odds of Black Jack?

No Peek makes it a monkey game, much like uncounted Black Jack.

While playing for money inarguably makes it gambling, properly played Poker is not a Game of Chance, but a Game of Skill. Luck might determine the course of a single hand, but Skill determines the course of a night.

That said, I prefer Texas Hold'em, Seven Card Stud, or Five Card Draw for their simplicity, or any number of insane 'home games' for variety and to keep the Math Masters on their toes.

We play once a week, and 'friendly' means that the buy in is low enough that losing it is no cause for sympathy.

Oh I agree whole heartely. I hate that game and 7 card no peek ***** kills. That game and I do not get along at all.

Mine is seven stud roll your own, low spade in the whole. (Meaning if you have the lowest spade, typically an ace, you get half the pot) These game usually draw a huge pot. Everyone playing the worst cards they have in hopes of succering someone else.

Games like 5 draw duces wild drive me bonkers. zookiers (sp) is ok, but can get expensive if you loose to often. High low is ok too. I do hate hate stait low ball though.

There are hundres of games, but mostly the people I play with stick to basic staple games.

Never bet on the other mans game. Rule 1. Rule 2, the house always has the advantage. Rule 3, never bet more than you can aford to loose. Rule 4, never show your hand unless you have to. Keep em wondering. Rule 5, expect to loose, and to loose often. Rule 6, never get mad about loosing even if it is to the same guy seven times in a row. It will happen. And rule 7, never count your money while sitt'n at the table. There will be time enough for counting when the dealings done.
