I always liked straight poker when I played with my friends in high school and college. I've watched the Texas Hold 'em and played last month with my brother-in-law and nephews. It was somewhat intriguing.
Be careful of those addictions. One of my other nephews got into playing for money online. I imagine it could cause alot of problems playing like that with a credit card!
Too easy to go stupid with it online, never seeing the actual money in front of you means it never seems real. Prefer to play face to face (easier to read people if you can see thier reactions aswell). Not played in ages though.
used to prefer 'liars dice' ..(similar to poker but using dice) and then only when articles of clothing and illiict substances were involved ....minimun number of players ...better if more than six players ....
