Poker With the Family

What's not to love about Thanksgiving? Good food, the family, and afterwards, in my family, we have a little home poker game. Nothing big, just a dealer's choice game where we play seven-card stud, five-card draw, and as of a few years ago, Texas Hold'em. And, as the night gets later, some more fun poker variations like Razz. It's very informal and fun -- and while the money stakes aren't high, the bragging rights are invaluable, since this kind of family poker game only happens once a year and the big winner will have until next Turkey Day to gloat. If you want to try a home poker game this Holiday, here are some resources to get you started:
