It was about 10 years ago that the Texas Hold'em craze was starting to take over poker rooms everywhere.  I used to play a lot of poker in college (won a lot of spending money).  I don't think we played a single hand of Texas Hold'em.  We played 7-card Stud, Guts, 5-Card Draw and a whole host of other strange games (baseball, nighttime baseball).  It's what you get when you play Dealer Choice poker for several hours.  But, not one hand of Texas Hold'em.  I had no idea what the game was until I saw signs for it in Las Vegas Poker rooms.  Even then, I paid it very little attention.
