Some poker games just don’t fit neatly into the categories of draw poker, stud poker, or community card poker, and some have features of more than one of these categories.

Stud Horse poker

Stud Horse poker is mentioned in the California law books as one of the gambling games prohibited in California’s card rooms. There is no definition for it under the law, however. It appears not to be Stud poker, which is not prohibited and is offered in several variations in California card rooms.

Blind Man’s Bluff

Blind Man’s Bluff is a version of poker in which a player sees the cards that would generally be visible to the other players, but does not see his own. It can be played with just one card (“Indian Poker”), as a community card poker game, or as five-card stud.

QUESTION: For years, I have been a heavy gambler on video poker here in Reno. I used to break close to even on specific machines at a certain casino. I became suspicious when I started losing real bad over several months. I asked a manager if they reset the machines and he said yes. He stated all they did was lower the paytable from 97.9% to 95%. I have not been back since. Is this legal? –Les L.

You can’t become a great poker player if you never lay down the best hand on the river from time to time.
