Play Poker in France

by @ 2:20 pm. Filed under Casino Stuff, Hall Of Games, Have Fun

Playing poker en ligne in the United States has been a challenge, but I imagine it’s nothing like playing in Quebec or France. Why? Because their cards are so different! Sure, there are the usual 2’s, 3’s and 8’s, etc., but their face cards are not the same!

Kings, queens and Jacks are not recognized by French players. In fact, they’re not even translated the same way. There are no “Jacque’s” in French poker, is what I’m getting at – they’re completely different.

So, in traditional American fashion, I will not play poker in France or Montreal or Quebec if I ever visit there in the future. Instead, I will hit up the casinos, and lose my money that way. I figure if it’s just numbers I’m dealing with, I’ll have a better chance at things than if I tried to play poker and ended up playing a hand that was (in English) J-J, when I thought it was K-K!

I figure the best odds will come at Roulette. No, not the odds of winning (which are notoriously poor for Roulette no matter where you end up playing it), the odds of me understanding what my bets are going to do should I win or lose!
