Personally, I have been playing the card game "Durak" very well since childhood. And to be precise, all the kids in my house gathered and played this game. But for me it's easy because I remember the cards and it's better not to play with me. That's why I switched to poker - a more interesting and clever game.

I know a lot of card games, including quite complex ones, but I think poker, with all its varieties, is the best card game! I think that's why poker is so popular. I, like many poker players, believe that poker is a highly intellectual game and should be recognized as a sport, like chess and checkers.

I used to play a lot of pinochle when I was younger with the family and family friends. Other than that it was board games and sports for me.

Sure, we grew up playing cards. I learned my first card games when I was in kindergarten, when we had game evenings with the family or when we had visitors, like on vacation. "Uno", "mau-mau", "Schwarzer Peter" or "31" were then played.

In later age, PC card games such as "Solitaire", "Spider Solitaire", etc. were added.

A deck of cards has always been the universal medium of entertainment & employment, be it just to perform card tricks!

Yeah. But those games were purely for fun. No money involved.

I was talking with friends a few weeks ago about how we came to like playing poker. I realised I was playing many different card games growing up and it felt natural to try playing poker amongst other games.

By instance, I have played Scopa a lot with my grandmother when she was babyisitting me.

Not quite hold'em poker like but it does have some similarities with it. There are cards in the middle accessible to all players and you need to know what cards have passed and what probabilities are left to make "series of points".

Have you played other card games and did it helped you improve your poker game?View attachment 253507
hearthstone it's a great cardgame,but you can't win money haha but is fun

In my country, Venezuela, a card game called "Truco" (trick) is very popular and I have always played it with my friends but I was very pleasantly surprised to find it online on Facebook. Just before I knew everything about Pokerr that was my favorite card game.

Yes, I played other card games before playing poker. But poker is awesome because it allows the opportunity to become a millionaire.

Preference is one of the most popular commercial card games. Here, chance does not play any role, skills, abilities and knowledge are important for players. Preference is a rather complex game. The rules of the game have been formed over the years since the middle of the nineteenth century, and consist of a ratio of various rules of other ancient games in Europe.

If in my country there is a game that is well known and curtural it is called "truco" and it is played with Spanish cards, it is played with friends or in competition it is very fun and also competitive, u Whenever an asado is made, the trick will not be missing and a Fernet, which is also a popular drink here, I am from Argentina and I am very proud of my culture.

I played a lot of cardgames when I was young, especiallyi whist, ( when adults of our family needed a 4 man, I was the child that got the invite to play with the adults, my grandfather had a bit of a temper, so I did learn to play and remember the cards, I also played Casino a lot it is math card game, and games like hearts, rummy, 21, war, fish, the only game I didn’t play was Bridge but I may pick that up, if I lose interest in poker and chess…
