Neil Dowgun CMS.608 3/17/08 The Creation of “Churchill Choice” Over the past decade, poker has captured a huge audience in America. It has become so popular that it has infiltrated both the internet and television, establishing itself in our shared consciousness. I waded into the internet, expecting to find an infinite variety of home-grown games, but there was a surprisingly large amount of overlap in variations that I found. Apparently, there are many, many games of poker that are commonly played, but most of them can be described as variations of a few basic forms, only with extra mechanics introduced. These basic forms are Draw Poker, Stud Poker, Shared Card Poker, and games of the Guts (Match Pot) family.1 Of these, Shared Card Poker has become the most popular recently, due to the televised World Series of Poker featuring Texas Hold’em, which is a Shared Card game. Because of this, I wanted to create a new Shared Card game that employs a new mechanic, but one that stays true to all the qualities that have made Texas Hold’em and the other forms of poker so fascinating to the populace. Each and every variation of poker is based upon a common foundation that allows players to easily pick up new games with a general understanding of how they are going to play out.

  • The Education of a Poker Player Including Where and How One Learns to Win
    HERBERT O. YARDLEY The Education of a Poker Player Including where and how one learns to win Introduced by A. Alvarez The Education of a Poker Player Herbert Osborne Yardley was born in the small frontier town of Worthington, Indiana, in 1889. Following the death of his mother in 1905 he inherited $200 and, by his own admission, 'thereafter I did pretty much as I pleased'. He began frequenting a poker saloon in Washington even though he was still in high school. Class president, editor of the school paper and football captain, he was nevertheless academically average but had a flair for mathematics. He had ambitions to become a criminal lawyer but the year 1912 found him working instead as a code clerk in the State Department, a job which made full use of his mathematical skills and shrewd poker-player's mind. In 1917 America entered World War I and Yardley persuaded his bosses to let him set up a code-breaking section with a staff of 160. Officially this was called the Cipher Bureau, Military Intelligence 8; more familiarly it became known as the 'Black Chamber'. Some 200,000 messages were decoded, with Yardley himself breaking the Japanese diplomatic codes and finding himself a marked man in the Orient as a result, before the department was closed down in 1929 on the instructions of Secretary of State Henry Stimson, who remarked that 'Gentlemen do not read each other's mail'. Out of a job, Yardley set to work on The American Black Chamber, a no-holds-barred history of the organization's activities which scandalized the political and diplomatic world but became an international best-seller when published in 1931.

  • Poker Phases: Draw, Stud and Hold’Em As Play-Forms of Capitalism
    the author(s) 2011 ephemera articles ISSN 1473-2866 www.ephemeraweb.org theory & politics in organization volume 11(4): 450-465 Poker phases: Draw, Stud and Hold’Em as play-forms of capitalism Ole Bjerg abstract The subject of the article is the history of poker. It explores how different structural variations of the game have evolved and how different types of poker have been dominant at different periods in history. There are three main forms of poker: Draw, Stud and Hold’Em. In the article, it is demonstrated how the three forms emerge and become the most popular form of poker at three different periods in history. It identifies structural homologies between the historical development of poker and key elements in the manifestation of capitalism at different times in history. Introduction Poker is the laboratory of capitalism. (McDonald, 1950: 23) When we look at a piece of art, read a piece of literature, watch a film, or listen to a piece of music, it is commonplace to think of these as cultural expressions of the social and historical context in which they are created. Art, literature, film and music are readily recognized as mediums of the Zeitgeist. Poker and other gambling games are rarely thought of in the same fashion. At best, they are considered to be meaningless entertainment, at worst self-destructive vices. I would, however, argue that poker is a cultural expression in line with art, literature, film, etc. The sudden popularity of poker in recent years demonstrates the rich cultural resonance of the game. Poker is a game of money.

  • Robert's Rules of Poker
    ROBERT’S RULES OF POKER Version 11 By Robert Ciaffone This PDF Edition Presented by GottaTalkPoker.com – 2012 ROBERT’S RULES OF POKER VERSION 11 “Robert’s Rules Of Poker” is authored by Robert Ciaffone, better known in the poker world as Bob Ciaffone, a leading authority on cardroom rules. He is the person who has selected which rules to use, and formatted, organized, and worded the text. Nearly all these rules are substantively in common use for poker, but many improved ideas for wording and organization are employed throughout this work. A lot of the rules are similar to those used in the rulebook of cardrooms where he has acted as a rules consultant and rules drafter. Ciaffone authored the rulebook for the Poker Players Association (founded in 1984, now defunct), the first comprehensive set of poker rules for the general public. He has done extensive work on rules for the Las Vegas Hilton, The Mirage, and Hollywood Park Casino, and assisted many other cardrooms. Ciaffone is a regular columnist for Card Player magazine, and can be reached through that publication. This rulebook will be periodically revised, so suggestions are welcome. Poker rules are widely used and freely copied, so it is impossible to construct a rulebook without using many rules that exist as part of a rule set of some cardroom. If such a rule is used, no credit is given to the source (which is unlikely to be the original one for the rule). The goal of this rulebook is to produce the best set of rules in existence, and make it generally available, so any person or cardroom can use it who so desires.
