Advice to new online playpoker fans: You got to know when to fold 'em. As much as folks who don't live here love to sneer at Texas and Texans, they also love to hijack our food and culture. A throwaway cut of meat we call skirt steak and toss on the grill to be served up as fajitas now enjoys acclaim outside of Texas. It's caught on so that the name for this simple dish has been misapplied to variations of it, to include something called lobster fajitas. We all know that Texas cowboys have long been a Hollywood staple. And Dallas was a big television hit in the 1980s. On and on.

News from Playpoker - March 10, 2010

Terry had married a woman from America, and bragged that he had told his Playpoker player wife she was going to do all the dishes and house cleaning that needed to be done at their house. He said that it took a couple days but on the third day he came home to a clean house and the dishes were all washed and put away.

It was just a matter of time before poker was shoplifted, too. Online playpoker and Texas go together like mariachis and San Antonio. It's a strong enough connection that some of us wonder what is all the fuss over a game we've been playing for decades. And they think we're backward?

What's catching the fancy these days is Texas Hold 'em, a game best played without a betting limit. It is the Cadillac of poker games. To play, it takes some skill, but the players who are best at it put fear on hiatus. Each player is dealt two cards face down. The dealer then "burns" or discards, one card off the top of the playpoker tournament deck and lays down three more. The cards in your hand combined with those at the table should tell you whether you've got any business going further. There's a bet (hold on to your hat, cause this is where it starts to get good) followed by another burn, another flop of one card and another bet. By now, sheep and goats should have been separated, and you're wondering whether the $500 raise means the other player has got something or is trying to buy the hand. Then there's another burn, another one-card card flop and the final bet.

You have to know how to read cards and other Playpoker players and be prepared to take a whipping even when you're holding a monster hand. It is the consummate Texas game because financial success can be reaped through skill, plain dumb luck or old fashioned fraud.

Heavy television exposure has made online playpoker so glamorous that some of its true characters are being crowded out as more people play. It has become so popular that hand wringing has started over the societal cost of so much poker playing. Poker players are getting so much exposure they have become celebrities, causing concern about their influence on teenagers who are developing gambling problems, not to mention debts. When the game was confined to somebody's back room or garage, it wasn't a concern because players theoretically knew what they were getting into when they sat down. Pretty soon, someone is going to try to idiot-proof poker and take all the fun out of it.
