Poker History Fact: played with a 20-card deck

[gravii2011]

Everyone knows that poker is played with a 52-card deck. But at the time when the game first appeared, we played with a 20-card deck , and only in 4-max format. At that time, poker could hardly be called a game of skill: each player was simply dealt 5 cards, and whoever had a better hand won. They say that a full 52-card deck has only been played since 1834. Do you think this poker game would be relevant now?

About 30 years ago, this game was relevant in the USSR, it was called Seka (he played it himself). The rules are very simple and the game itself is pretty straightforward. Basically, the winner was with two aces (of course there are other winning combinations, but if you have two aces (two foreheads said) this is a 99% victory! ).

if you say the game would be relevant now from decks of 20 cards, then I think not, because there would be no point because there are a lot of people привет

I also played poker with a 20 card deck. It was a long time ago, for play money in some application.
