     I know some of you guys don't go back as far as I do, but somewhere I think I have a deck that came out in the 1960's and the ladies have BeeHive hairdoos. Probably collectible now...

5 card draw and stud is considered the minor leagues....No limit holdem is the only "pure" game out there.....this is all according to doyle brunson, not me.I say, whatever game you want to play, play......

  whyaskwhy I guess I'll bite: what does writing a marker have to do with poker in a casino? I know what a marker is but can't a marker also be written for a person playing: craps, roulette, blackjack, pai-gow, or even slots and video poker?   The ante bet in video poker is the number of coins in when the deal button is depressed and a person can "pass" a few hands simply by knowing that the RNG is constantly churning out hands when a person is not playing a video poker machine. I guess short of "seeing" the RNG at work doing this, we just have to take the evil casino's word for it that this process is in fact happening.

Ted regarding passing, I think what he is talking about is where everyone doesn't ante every round (such as No Limit Hold'em) and one can muck without an ante/betting depending upon table position.[/QUOTE]
I thing you guys are missing something. Video Poker has nothing to do with Texas Hold 'Em. For us old curmudgeons, the game we played was five card draw back then, and that is the basis for VP. [/QUOTE]

I didn't think whyaskwhy was talking about a specific type of poker at a casino. Rereading his post I get your point. Agree with you regarding 5 card draw.

  Give it up DaBurglar, you will never top me and I am getting bored with sparring with you.  If you: Stop picking on people and running them down just because they take a stance that differs from yours;Stop mocking Bob Dancer, Vman, and Shadowman (see above);Stop being over the top critical of video poker played everywhere other than Las Vegas;Stop running CET and other gaming corporations into the ground, if you own stock in them then you would have cause to do so as a stockholder;Stop reminding us that you went to Harvard and are a dual degree graduate;Stop all the other nonsense of using 10 dollar words and phrases that few here understand;Stop pulling me into your posts with the: I'm stalking you, etc. and stop trying to get the last word in with me,   In exchange' I will: Stop correcting you when you are wrong, because I'm sure everyone else spots when you are also wrong and not just me;Stop treating you the same way a towed target was treated by the USS Missouri.  Ok     In fact, if it is alright with you, from now on what I will do is, before I make a new post, I will run it by you via private message.....if you give it the okay, I will post.   that should prevent any future problems.   agreed?

  It's really not up to me what you post; it's completely up to you. Civility can open many doors but lack of civility can close them even faster.

Wow! The naked lady card thing really brought back some memories.  When I was about 4-5 years old, I was riding in a train from Delaware to Florida with my mother and grandmother.  Some sailors were playing cards and I was watching them.  The cards had totally naked ladies on them and I was fascinated.  My mother found out and that was the end of my education for that day.  I know that has nothing to with video poker, but it made me smile thinking about it.  Thanks for the memory jab!

if you guys want to discuss naked women on playing cards, that's your right, and I personally do not have a problem with it......but I have to query, why is it when I discuss what I want with respect to VIDEO poker (irregardless of whether you agree with what I am posting), I get lambasted by a handful of posters while everyone else sits idle and lets me be clobbered when in actuality many people clearly agree with a lot of what I have to say.I am just sayin'.........the hypocrisy of a select few here seems to know no bounds whatsoever.That being said, carry on with your dialogue regarding pornographic playing cards Seriously, DORIS>>>>> how do you feel about this topic?   as a female, do you feel uncomfortable???    Other posters here have, in the past, exhibited extreme sensitivity regarding such issues revolving around racial, sexual or social awareness.    This latest segue is puzzling to say the least.....
