The best book ever written is Erdnase.
Everyone says that they don't enjoy the "mainstream" anime, the problem is, when everyone says it, no one is correct when they say it.

So, i won once again in the gentlemens game of draw poker. I reckon that we have played around ten games. I've lost once, and there had been a draw once. I believe draw poker to be a poker variant more suitable for the classy gentleman, and perhaps, even the classy woman, though. i believe that women should be spared the horrors of gambling, that can be seen at each street corner in the eyes of the vast grey masses, warming their hands over the barrel fire.
The reason for draw poker being the superior variant i base on the fact that it was, for a very long time THE way to play. The first variant was draw poker. Ever seen an old western movie? What card games do they play? Draw, not stud, not 7 stud, not hold 'em, not omaha, and not lowball.
The common idea that hold 'em is the only way to play i find depressing to say the least. It is a horrible version in my opinion. The problem for me lies in that a skilled player can pinpoint almost exactly what cards his opponent has, this, perhaps "increase" the skill needed, or possible to attain to play the game, but this i find as "ungentlemanlike". For poker is about having guts, daring to bet when you believe that odds are on your side, if you are fed a lot of information, that "guts" aspect of the game dies out. That being said, i don't believe that you should play a variant of poker that is almost completely dependant on luck, like lazy lucy. I believe draw poker, or rather, our* variant of draw poker, which is in the class of "straight poker". As well as that, we play "our own" variant, where the game proceeds as usual, bit becomes a kind of stud poker after the second betting round, so it's a hybrid. I still believe, however, that draw poker is the game for the gentleman, not too much "skill", not too much luck, just enough.
*Straight poker with no limit, check-raise allowed, maximum of 3 card change.
