I realize there is a lot of skill involved in the betting part of the game. But the draw of the cards is just random and there is nothing you can do about that.
Right. It is all about recognizing the odds of getting the hand you are drawing for, and what the odds the other players are getting their cards.. I used to love, and I mean love, to host poker games at my apartment when I was a young single cop. We played weekly. Of course, back then we played Stud poker or Draw Poker. (My favorite) I pretty much quit playing when the Texas Hold 'em came along. I don't like playing it, it takes too much concentration and I like to joke around and have fun during games.
