Well my evening of playing Royal Holdem poker turned out to be quite fun.  You only play with cards, 10 and higher, all the other cards you take out of the deck.  There were four of us, so we had just enough cards to play with.

Its so weird because you get dealt a king, queen starting hand and think wow ok this isnt too bad, until you realize actually its not that good at all considering what everyone else could have!  The first player was out of the home tournament in five minutes!!  Its like turbo-charged poker!!  I managed to last another five minutes and then was busted by a flush.

Great fun was had by all and many laughs… its a great way to lighten things up and get the party atmosphere going! Or, if you just want to speed up your Holdem game and get a result quickly.

I have been invited to play a home game of Royal Holdem poker.  Ever heard of it, or played it?  Only tens and upwards count.

To be honest I am a little nervous and am not too sure what to expect.  But then again its just a home game with friends, so its just for fun.  Will let you know how it goes.
