5-Card Stud is for losers who cannot play poker. 5-Card Draw is decent. Real poker players play Texas Hold 'Em.
I understand the value of bluffing, but there is more than one way to bluff. Betting is the fun part of poker, and working with one static hand is for beginners.
What say you?
The first poker games with hands of more than 5 cards were developed for, and played by, women. Are you female?

From "The History of Card Games":
"Poker was almost exclusively a game played in saloons by men. Eventually a desire by women to play something other than Bridge led to the genesis of offshoot versions of Poker using more than the traditional 5-card hands played in the saloons."
You know nothing about poker don't speak
PLO and 2-7 NL are the best games.
Your mom let me poker multiple times last night
Listen, here's the thing.If you can't spot the sucker in your first half hour at the table, then you are the sucker.
Guys around here'll tell ya... you play for a living. It's like any other job. You don't gamble. You grind it out. Your goal is to win one big bet an hour, that's it. Get your money in when you have the best of it, and protect it when you don't. Don't give anything away.
That's how I've paid my way through half of law school. A true grinder. See, I learned how to win a little at a time. But finally, I've learned this...If you're too careful, your whole life can become a fu\ckin' grind.
This is Teddy KGB's place. He doesn't look like much, but KGB is connected all the way to the top of the Russian mob. He's the one guy in the game you don't want to fu\ck with. But if you're looking for high stakes, this is the only place in town. They all know me as a small-timer, but that's about to change. The game in question is No-Limit Texas Hold 'Em. Minimum buy-in $10,000.
A game like this doesn't come together often outside the casinos. The stakes attract rich flounders, and they in turn attract the sharks.
No-Limit Texas Hold 'Em is the Cadillac of poker. Each player is dealt two cards face down. Five cards are then dealt face up across the middle. These are community cards everyone can use to make the best five card hand. The key to the game is playing the man, not the cards. Bet an eight ball.
There's no other game in which fortunes can change so much from hand to hand. A brilliant player can get a strong hand cracked, go on tilt...and lose his mind along with every single chip in front of him.
This is why the World Series of Poker is decided over a No-Limit Hold 'Em table. Some people, pros even, won't play No-Limit. They can't handle the swings. But there are others, like Doyle Brunson, who consider No-Limit the only pure game left.
Like Papa Wallenda said..."Life is on the wire. The rest is just waiting."
pot limit Omaha sucks Texas Holden is the best game, and takes the most skill, just sit back and watch daniel negraneau Sam tricket, or Antonio Esfandiari , but stu under was good also
