Hey it is Poker, it is all about poker. This is what brings us together today; I think this will be great for you and me, poker variations. Many people have heard of Texas Hold Em, and Stud poker, and many of these other great casino classics, but how many of you have actually heard of a game called Indian Poker?
Exactly. What this is about is poker variations on many of these poker games, and then games that are called poker and are not necessarily poker games. So we have a lot to discuss and who wants to waste any more time?

Indian Poker But we as people call it poker. My favorite so far is Indian Poker. This is a game of complete bluffing and betting. Played with up to 20 people, the dealer deals one card face down to everyone. Then the players make their bets. After this, the players somehow, usually with a bit of tape, stick the card to their forehead so it is visible to everyone else and not to them. And betting continues until people have decided to stop betting or everyone has dropped out of the betting. The player with the highest card wins. But to get to the end is hilarious. When everyone is trying to make the other players think the card they are holding is lower than everyone elses, it can be barrel loads of fun.
