Pardon my lack of knowledge..

Further to my last post, Tony just told me that poker is indeed a game of strategy and is not boring. Just the kind we were playing last night was.

What we were doing last night was the kind where everybody gets five cards and everybody sees what everybody else has. Pure chance whether you get a good hand or not.

I was wondering, if this was poker, where all those stories and songs came from about keeping a straight face and bluffing the dealer? So now I know -- this is baby poker and not the real thing.
