By chance, my article in the current issue of "Card Player" is titled, "Would you bust your own grandmother? Part I" It's available at cardplayer.com. Click on magazine, writers, and my name. Part II will be there in less than a month.

If you don't bet in Russian Poker, how did you win money?

Regards,

Al

I thought this was called Indian Poker or something? But not Russian poker.

Dr. Al: You pay people out for their hands if they beat yours. Sorta like a table game.

Indian Poker is where you're dealt one card and without looking at your own card, place it on your forehead for all others to see.

Ante?

Strictly speaking ante isn't a bet, in poker terms. It sounds like a proposition wager in which the highest points total wins the pot.

Good article. Maybe even touches a deeper existential dilemma, "taking advantage of someone just because you can".

i just read your article, i enjoyed it, and although i would take money off of my mother i admit i would not bust her

and as some one else said, if your hands are better than another person's hands, they pay you money, when i was talking about points in my explanation, each point is worth an amount of money that is decided on before the game

I think the end result was a split pot.
