The Cadillac of Poker

MIKE: No-limit Texas Hold 'Em is the Cadillac of poker.

No doubting this one. For sheer numbers of players or media coverage, Texas Hold'em is King. (Or Aces).

There doesn't seem to be any solid numbers around to estimate the number of players globally of Texas Hold'em, but antidotal evidence is overwhelming. Just go into any poker room online and the Holdem tables will outnumber all others by about 20-1. Television coverage of Holdem is growing, and that brings more players to the game. This, in turn, drives more growth... Mike is definately right in this quote, No limit Texas is where its at.

The Gambler: "He said, "Son, I've made a life out of readin' people's faces, and knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes."

Although not 100% reliable, poker tells can still be very helpful in studying the possible hands of your opponents. Several poker movies and poker books have even been dedicated to poker tells.
