French online poker room, Winamax, is offering Dealer’s Choice cash games, prompting Lee Davy to question if this derivative of poker could overtake No Limit Hold’em as the market leader?

I would rather poke around in a horse’s ass that play with a terrible winner. But I make an exception for Eddie’s Dad Steve because he is the reason I fell in love with poker.

Before Eddie’s Dad Steve there was the old pool league. Bored of arm wrestling for money and playing Three Card Brag, one of the lads suggested a game called poker, and before long a school was born.

The game we all learned was No-Limit Hold’em (NLHE). We would gather at the pub on a Tuesday night and play in a £20 Freezeout, sink a few ales, and be home in time watch the end of Newsnight.
