Hold\'Em is not poker
Hold'Em is just a game that is played with cards where once all the cards are out, the best 5 card hand wins.
Poker is gambling. It is risking something to win more than that something in return. The next time you decide to play, think about what your goal is: Is it to play a card game or is it to gamble? |

Re: Hold\'Em is not poker
Last time I played, my goals were to play a card game, gamble while doing it, and win.

It pisses me off so much when people call 72o "the worst hand in poker".

[/ QUOTE ] I am not sure I follow you... why can't hold'em be both a card game and a gambling game? When you play hold'em you do have to risk money to earn money. You are not guaranteed to win even if you flop a great hand... in fact even if you flop quads you are not guaranteed to win. It is always still possible for someone to get a straight flush if they are holding the right card(s) and the right card(s) fall. Now it is also a game in which you can choose to gamble when you have the best of it, which is what makes it a game that can be beat... When I play hold'em I certainly risk something to win more than that something in return... so by your own definition it is gambling. What is the distinction you are trying to make here? Right now you claim seems confused at best. -k_squared |

Re: Hold\'Em is not poker
agreed, his post doesnt make sense to me. anytime you are risking money on an unsure outcome it is gambling.
