Yes, Hold Em is an interesting game. I think the rules themselves are fairly straightforward. It's the strategies, everything from psyching out other players, to insights on when to bid, knowledge about how certain combinations of cards are unlikely to yield up anything. I look forward to seeing which books are great. I'm hoping that one of them is sitting on my desk.
