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

Tah dah means something awesome..you must have snagged better than book covers ..no? tah-dah, in the case of the naming of my thread, means "finally Rich started posted to this sub-forum after being asked many times by his friends and admirers" and I'm guess yu think I just acquired these.. No Stew.. I've been collecting them for 40 years (although this was my third go at them) and these are being sold, as it says in my initial posting of them.. You aren't turning into David, are you??  |

Rich you need to rephotograph them if we can't tell what the heck these are. Looks like something solid is inside the book covers, but I'm not sure...
