This is how I feel after about the 4th hour of a Texas Hold em' tourney; knowing I need to hang in there for another 4 hours to win anything (because poker is all about luck and time; to me anyways) and wanting to go to bed...  |

supposedly it is derived from a pick pocket term. The poke being the target.
Card sharks later added the "r" so that anyone familiar with the term wouldn't know they were in a fixed game.
Stew sound like a wive's tale Stew. Poker was created by a British aristocrat in the 18th century, with a smaller deck - I think 36 cards. Wiki doesn't cover that part of poker history on it's page however so I'm not able to easily draw up the information |

It could be Rich,I have no idea. The wiki answer says something about a twenty card deck.What that means if anything,i dont know,type into google "why is poker called poker ?" you may be able to deduce a better answer mate.

Hey Bruce.. got that Italian Meet Me in Las Vegas poster and it's a beaut.
I went over to teh Hard Rock to take a picture of the poster I thought they had (4-panel size with stacks of enormouse chips and dice with Cyd leaning over them) only to discover they had this poster, which means I saw that other poster somewhere else. Wish I had a pic dammit.. I want it
