    Default Other Card Games?

    Do you guys want a new forum under the "Gambling" category for card games besides poker? Like Blackjack, Pai Gow, or Gin Rummy or whatever?

    If you vote Yes, please tell me what game(s) you want to post or read about.

    Yes. I've seen a blackjack post or 2 and right now they don't really have a forum that fits them well.

    I think it'd be interesting. discussing blackjack, spades, rummy, and so forth.

    i think it might be useful for those who want to learn these games and don't know anything about them. (like me!!)

    Casino whoring is becoming ever more popular on FTR, so I think a blackjack forum would be very useful.

    Absolutely. I play quite a bit of spades, rummy, and tunk (sp?). I'd love to see a forum to discuss these games.
    There's three types of people in the world...those who can count, and those who can't.

    I say yes, because I work for a casino, and love all things gambling.

    Yo Mamma
    And Roulette!! Why don't we have a forum where we interview the best Roulette players in the world!!! That'd be GREAT! Did you guys see the WSOR(oulette) last year!!!

    Oh, wait...there aren't any Roulette champions...cause Roulette is not a skill game with subtlties and nuances worthy of a great forum like FTR.

    Sorry, I forgot.

    (Sorry so sarcastic...if you want to post blackjack charts be my guest. But there's no lack of these on the net, and there's absolutely zilch to discuss.)

    I have yet to see a casino offering Spades. Keep me posted.

    There are professional Blackjack, Bridge, Gin and Backgammon players. If we want to expand to suit all gambling (as we have with the sports section) then it is only realistic that we offer a venue to discuss these games.

    I have ansewed a number of blackjack questions on this forum. (I used to play blackjack profitably before learning poker) Charts for basic strategy really only scratch the surface of this game, and I assume it is similar for the other games that I listed (though know less about)
    A "blackjack and other gambling" forum would definitely make sense.
    To win in poker you only need to be one step ahead of your opponents. Two steps may be detrimental.

    Done.

    All general CASINO WHORING discussions (NOT poker-specific bonuses) now go in the new House Of Games forum as well.
