I'd say about 90% of tournaments on the site are "Hold 'em" of some sort (as that's the popular game),... mikebdoss 2005-08-19T12:07:08-08:00 http://www.insignifica.org/poker/archives/2005_08.shtml#003208 Picture it: Pechanga, yesterday. I'd just won a big hand, and got moved to a new table when ours got broken down. I'm in the #1 seat, and the first hand I get is A-A.
