Now and then you find ambassadors who have sort of a general knowledge of poker, but the ignorance of the people is fearful. Why, I have known clergymen, good men, kind-hearted, liberal, sincere, and all that, who did not know the meaning of a "flush". It is enough to make one ashamed of the species.” -- Mark Twain. Texas Hold`Em, a style of poker playing, has become very popular in the last few years. It is so popular that it is even featured as a sport on sporting channels.
