I'm going on the record now as officially hating Texas Hold 'Em and everything it stands for. I used to absolutely f###ing LOVE getting together with friends to play poker. Dealer's choice, quarter/fifty/buck games where you'd play forever and never see boredom even over the horizon. You'd learn new games, get drunk as #### and have a blast the whole time because when you're playing Follow the Queen with the Dirty Liz option, no one is folding until they absolutely HAVE to. You can have a literal pile of #### for your up cards and still bluff someone out of their hand. So fun!
Then when you're really good and loaded and someone busts out some pot-match games like Inbetween or Canadian Blackjack and #### gets completely insane. God, I loved that ####. I once kept forcing Inbetween on a game with my Cincy friends and the pot kept getting taken at like $6 every friggin time. I stuck with it though, saying how nuts it can get, with them b####ing every time I got the deal. They finally believed me when the one dude hade to lay a check for $1800 on a pot that started with a 50 cent ante.
That was when poker night was fun.
But then suddenly everyone's playing Hold Em and every single ounce of fun got sucked out of the game. Instead of losing and having to wait a few minutes for the next hand, busting out on a good hand meant sitting around playing with your #### for the next hour. Instead of fun, it's now all about who can stand boredom for the longest time. "Hey I folded top pair like five times, I RULE! I'm more patient than anybody! Woohoo!"
F##k Texas F###ing Hold Em right in the f###ing ear. God, it's just so horrible.
