NOT JUST POKER

This blog was an idea–no more, no less. It was just one of those passing ideas one gets while tossing and turning in bed.  An idea that was sandwiched somewhere between I have to get up and pee and is the alarm still set from the other morning.

Who knows what may appear tomorrow!  For now, this blog is about whatever comes to mind, most likely what comes to mind relating back to poker, but maybe not. 

More over, this blog is about home poker games, played on a regular basis by players who know each other. 

Since so many home poker games are “dealer’s choice,” it might be interesting, as an example,  to hear and learn about different games.  For instance, Seven Card Stud–how passe!  Five Card Stud–boring! The stakes played for will vary, of course, from game to game, but I am sure we all play many of the same games and, perhaps, just call them something else.  Perhaps, we’ll find out.

Do you allow check-raise? Can you call and then raise? How many raises are too many? Do you allow protective raises? Do you have a pre-assigned quitting time? I always find that discussing hands, per se, is like reading yesterday’s newspaper.  However, if you feel a hand was interesting enough to memorialize, then I am up to hearing about  it.

Anyway, this ABOUT NOTJUSTPOKER.COM page has already been changed and will probably be changed as an ongoing project, since, as stated prior, I don’t know where this blog is really going.  Further more, I’m not even sure whether this blog is for my benefit or your enjoyment.

I started this blog in late November of 2009.  If this were software, this “about” page by this time would probably be 4.0.  So far, categories include only TALES and GAMES PEOPLE PLAYand FACT OR FICTION.
