How do you like playing poker? Me, my favorite is Omaha Hold'Em or 5 card draw. My friends like Texas Hold Em though. The only poker they knew of was Texas Hold Em. It's not a bad game, but I think introducing more variants could be fun -- we currently go for "dealer's choice" in our games. If you have any variant ideas... would love to hear them... trying a few hands of the original 4 player, 20 card poker could be fun too, maybe I'm being unrealistic. We usually start with 40-50 "points" per player. This can last quite a while. Betting rules are pretty minimal -- you can't raise in a round if you previously checked or called, and you can't re-raise if you raised and no one else raises. We don't have any betting minimums or maximums in play but pot-limit may be a good approach if anyone, err, plays against the vibe. We tend to double the blinds every 15 minutes or so to help speed things along. It would be great to play poker with other gikos sometime, whether for money (gikocoins?) or prestige. |
