Summary

As one of the most popular gambling games, poker has as wide a Usenet following as it does in the "real world", and its Usenet home is the rec.gambling.poker newsgroup. The group focuses on the analysis and strategy of poker games and welcomes threads about the playing of hands, bluffing, prominent poker players, various poker games (Texas Hold'em, Omaha), rules, betting, odds and probability, skills, insider hints, the poker community, online and live action poker. The players in the newsgroup use the forum to exchange ideas and strategies, complain about playing habits that they find annoying, rehash recent games, seek alternatives to played hands, coordinate tournaments, talk about style, the US poker tour, national and international poker, and politics (among other social off-topics). The newsgroup's frequently asked question page can be found at http://www.rgpfaq.com/, where you can get answers to basic poker questions before you seek out the newsgroup in your news client.
