I’m sick of Texas Hold ‘em.

You know what’s boring? A poker game based 99% on luck. Yes, there’s some skill in betting, I know. But there’s no skill in the rest of it, you just sit and wait.

I don’t know how the game took over everything poker related, but it did when there are games out there that are so much more interesting. You know what takes some luck and some skill? Draw poker.

5 card draw requires you to figure out if it’s worth taking a chance. Hell, 5 card stud, while a sit and wait, means a hell of a lot more mental calculation based on what you know isn’t around and what the other guy has.

Texas Hold ‘em…sit, wait, and oh look, everyone has a good hand at once. Boring.
