Teen
Pokers
March 11, 2006
Teen poking is a type of
rage now with some parents even supporting kids' poker
parties. Addiction experts wonder whether stakes played
by teens are too high. These are teen poker nights in
countless American homes. Holiday seasons are sure to
find teens chilling and bluffing their way into the New
Year as a host of market indicators. This is also a good
measure of mounting concern as speaking to a stunning
passion among young people for a game traditionally
associated with gruff men and stinky cigars. Poker mania
is being hawked everywhere from supermarkets to teen
emporiums. But gambling addiction experts warn that
poker could be a slippery slope into other high-risk
activities. Nowadays it is catching rage as it is
flicking on television. Expanding poker tournament
coverage on major sports channels and the travel
channels has some compelling effects. The slickly
produced shows have taught kids the fundamentals of a
wildly popular version of the game. This type of game
challenges players to incorporate face-up table cards
into their hands. Television has also given celebrity
status to a hip generation of poker stars who can lose
tens of thousands.
Poker game
Poker is simply a card game. Vying games is the most
popular of a class of games. In this game players with
fully or partially concealed cards make wagers into a
central pot. After this the pot is awarded to the
remaining player or players with the best combination of
cards. One must learn the basic rules and procedures of
the game. The values of the various combinations of
cards and the rules about betting limits should be
known. The knowledge of the equipment used to play is
useful. Draw poker, stud poker, community card poker
also called widow game and miscellaneous poker games are
also there and known as variants of poker. Five-card
draw, seven-card stud and Texas hold are the most
commonly played games. Each of these games is a common
starting point for learning games of the type. One more
way of poker to play is a way to play poker by Dealers
choice.
But… A need for
concern.
There is wide range of concern in gambling experts who
warn that poker-mad teens are sailing a small sailboat
into a menacing typhoon that could lead to a gambling
addiction as well as other risky activities. For example
drug abuse. Teens
are gambling with their health while playing poker as
for some people this can get very serious indeed. But
after all they are teens. Today’s hot thing might not be
tomorrow.
