MOST OF MY FRIENDS AND ASSOCIATES KNOW THAT I'M AN AVID TEXAS HOLDEM POKER ENTHUSIAST. IT STARTS WITH EVERYONE GETTING 2 CARDS FACE DOWN. AFTER LOOKING AT THE CARDS, THERE IS A ROUND OF BETTING WHERE YOU CAN CHOOSE TO RISK A MINIMUM AMOUNT OF CHIPS OR  MAY BET ANY AMOUNT OF CHIPS YOU HAVE. THEN 3 CARDS ARE TURNED UP. THIS IS CALLED THE FLOP, WHICH IS FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER ROUND OF BETTING. THEN I CARD IS TURNED UP AND AGAIN A ROUND OF BETTING. THIS IS CALLED THE TURN. FINALLY A 5TH CARD IS TURNED UP WHICH IS CALLED THE RIVER, FOLLOWED BY A LAST ROUND OF BETTING. IT IS ALWAYS EXCITING T5O LOOK AT YOUR 2 DOWN CARDS AND SEE 2 ACES, WHICH IS THE BEST STARTING HAND. HOWEVER AFTER THE FLOP, TURN AND RIVER, THOSE ACES MAY NOT BE SO GREAT. THERE ARE SEVERAL STARTING HANDS THAT ALWAYS LOOK GOOD, BUT IN TRUTH ARE NOTHING MORE THAN TROUBLE MAKERS. I HAVE DISPLAYED SOME OF THEM IN THIS VIDEO, ALONG WITH SOME OF THE BEST POKER QUOTES FROM THE MASTERS. I OMITTED THE QUOTE BY PHIL HELLMUTH THAT SAYS POKER IS 100% SKILL AND 50% LUCK. YOU WOULD THINK AS GREAT OF A PLAYER HE IS, THAT MATH WOULD BE A LITTLE HIGHER ON HIS PRIORITY LIST.
