Crazy Poker Facts
Hi,
A friend is doing an article for her college magazine and asked me to get some strange facts for a little box at the side of the article. A factfile or something similar. You know the type, it would have the Dictionary definition of poker and then some strange things about it below. I'll start it off: The first official World Series of Poker in 1970 had 7 players compared to 2,576 in 2004 (PLEASE CORRECT ME IF THAT'S WRONG, I GOT THAT INFO WITH A SMALL AMOUNT OF RESEARCH SO I HOPE IT'S RIGHT) [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Thanks! |

Re: Crazy Poker Facts
The "Low Sraith" (4 card str8) DOES NOT EXIST!!!
Can't belive I actually had many arguments whit noobs players about this one... This myth come from the "hand Rancking" card in some poker deck where 24567 is ranked below one pair. Those morons thought for sure that this "4 card str8" hand beats A high... -Happy [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] |
