In the "Cincinnati Kid" they showed a high stakes game in the 1930s, which was NL 5 card stud. I think Wild Bill Hickock was playing NL 5 card draw when he was shot by a fish he had won money from. Doyle and Johnny Moss were playing NLHE in Texas in the 1950s.I post things which are obviously true and get attacked ITT, like when the hijack started because I said Mason was never
Going by memory, in the book Knights of the Green Cloth: The Saga of the Frontier Gamblers by Robert K. DeArment, which is a history of the gamblers of the Old West, the author talks about no-limit draw poker being played.
It's a wonderful book:

Here comes Mason to plug his book Winning Concepts in Draw and Lowball :p
During a roadtrip to the Commerce, I played in the old 30-60 lowball game shortly before it died. I had one notable hand.

Exclusively? Some rooms had limit draw games; others had no-limit draw games. In the early '90s, I played no-limit lowball at the Cameo Club in Palo Alto and Artichoke Joe's in San Bruno. Other rooms in the Bay Area, like Garden City in San Jose and the Oaks in Emeryville, offered limit lowball games during this time. So whether the games were limit or no-limit was entirely room-dependent.
And nothing changed in the late '70s; it wasn't until 1987 that California card rooms were allowed to offer stud and flop games.

Pan and Rummy were around the old gardena clubs too.
Get a room guys
Only if pman can come too.
Can his biggest fan come too?
Shame on pman's dad for enabling pman to be the loser he is today. Pman is not and will never be a winning player, he does not have any of the skills or aptitude to become a winning player. His dad is just allowing his son to be a gambling addict loser that smokes weed and plays video games all day.Pman calling himself a poker player while playing less than 10 hours a week for
In fact that whole page is the perfect "tribute" to Pman :p
It will be a sad day in poker history. Buying Sklansky's TOP 23 years ago was a life-changing moment for me as I'm sure it was for many others here.
I thought id had a couple posts in this thread. They weren't negative if I recall so not sure why they were deleted.

As someone who was a mod on this site for basically all of 2+2’s peak, I can confirm what Mason is saying. He had zero interaction with the mod group outside of some basic site wide guidelines, and one time where he gave us all a free book or two as a thank you from the site.Mat Sklansky handled all day to day interactions with the mods, and he was very hands off as well. That’
you were one of the best mods on the site you saw through bullshit. you did work in SE i just wish you didn't get too far sucked in to the clique back then as you did
sklansky threads were always a fun read in politics
I disagree with this, before the boom the games were nearly all limit but the good games were often stud as well a LHE, the variance in these games and the bankroll required are much higher than NLHE because your edge is so much smaller in Limit, the "downswings" last significantly longer if you layer being overly tight/scared and predictable on top of what is already a thin ed
seems like this is why HORSE really really struggled to gain more play the last few years, the egdes are either super razor slim or gigantic against a newbie vs season player
