I mean really, Sir Edmond Hoyle may have written about cards, and may be quoted, and his Short Treatise on the Game of Whist included rules and insights into how to win at the game, but it was written a long time ago. How long you ask? Well, he passed away more than 200 years before the World Series of Poker even started. What's my point? Simply that sometimes people don't really know things they act certain about. Case in point: a friendly little home poker game where Texas Hold'em is usually played. Standard English deck of 52 cards. Fun, right? Sure, but we got bored and played a little seven-stud with one-eyed jacks wild. Big mistake. Personally, I happen to love 7-stud, and as luck would have it, I caught a wild-card and made five sevens! Then the Gambling Gods got involved and put me up against a guy who made a royal flush. Cool in my book, because when it comes to poker hands in a wild-card game, five of a kind beats a royal. My buddy, who is considering not being my buddy anymore, cried, "Not according to Hoyle," about a dozen times, explaining to our whole table of regulars that "a royal flush is the highest hand in poker." No amount of joking or explanation could fix the hard feelings. Once the consensus was that indeed, the five sevens was the best hand, then the argument became something along the lines of, "You should have explained the changes before we played." That's where I got exasperated and chugged two whole cans of Diet Seven-Up and sat on the porch with my bag of Bugles (that's right, don't mess with me!). Anyway, "live and let live, learn and move on - and explain the rules before introducing any new poker games" is my new saying. Now, anybody for the best game I ever heard of: Seven card high-low split declare with a twist - no qualifier. I'll explain the rules later According to Hoyle originally appeared on About.com Casino Gambling on Thursday, March 8th, 2012 at 01:30:05.
