XVP Texas Holdem

I've got to laugh when I read the comments saying that Holdem is boring.
I'll take it as a defense mechanism among those who either don't understand
the game, are intimidated by the game, or just feel insecure as primarily
vp players -- the ultimate longterm grind-it-out exercise in repetitive
mechanics that exists in any casino.

Holdem is certainly no less challenging than vp, and with the large amounts
of money at stake in any given hand, the excitment level is very high. The
experts are correct when they say it's easy to learn and extremely
difficult to master.

Don't dump on holdem if you don't know the game.

I think you should consider the possibility that some
people DO understand the game, but just think it's
boring. I can think of a few VP games that fall into
that category.

For that matter, I understand the rules and strategy
for Blackjack, but it's never really gotten my blood
to boil, either.

I note, among many other goodies, that the chart recommends calling
all raises in the small blind with J7 and 108 suited.

God, I hope everybody I play has one of these charts.
