Well, Texas Holdem Video Poker is a card game. So why is it called video poker you ask? Got me. Matter of fact, I been having a heck of a time all night, I just don’t understand it.

It’s not cause they didn’t try, they got rules that are available in the game, and also got a little box that keeps reminding you what you are supposed to be doing. Now it says this is a very popular game online so maybe it is just me.

In the game you are dealt 2 cards and 5 are in the middle of the table. You have to make the best 5 card hand from the 2 hole cards and the 5 in the middle of the table. Of course 2 of them are dealt face down so you gotta guess there.

Actually as the author says, this isn’t so much of a game as it is a trainer for the beginner or a relaxation for the experienced player.

So here’s my problem. They deal out 5 pairs of cards, and tell you to take the pair you think will have the best hand with the 3 cards you can see. Under each pair is the expected percentage of each hand. So, every time I pick what the computer says is the highest ranked set of cards, I lose!

Anyway, check it out, I can’t write anymore, gotta go back and try again. Ain’t gonna whip me!
