This website is designed by Richard Tsang for Edit 435, a class offered at the University of Alberta.  This is a satirical poker site, in other words, my main goal is to create a bogus site.  Poker has increased in popularity over the past few years and there are millions of poker strategy sites out there but there has yet to be a fake site mocking these strategies, this is where I come in!  This site is geared towards more experienced poker players.  The more you know about poker, the better laugh you'll get out of this site.

Most of the "mistakes" on my site are done on purpose, but for those who are new to poker I will identify some of these "mistakes" to you:

- The biggest and most obvious "mistake" would be my title.  I laugh every time I read it because there is no such thing as "Limit and Unlimited Texas Hold Them Poker".  The most common poker games played at casinos are "Limit Texas Hold'em" and "No Limit Texas Hold'em".  Hardly anyone uses "Hold Them" or "Unlimited" when they refer to these two games.

- Another clear "mistake" I make is mentioning that Doyle Brunson's "SUPER SYSTEM A course in Poker Power" is not a useful book.  Even though this book is old, the strategies for poker have not changed over the years, it is by far the best book on the market.  Note: The book is called "SUPER SYSTEM A course in [Power Poker]" not "SUPER SYSTEM A course in Poker Power".

- As for the articles, there are so many "mistakes" I made that it would take me forever to explain all these to you.  It is best to study up on reliable poker strategies on sites like Card Player or forums like Two Plus Two.  Once reading these strategies, it should be easy for you to pick up on these "mistakes".  However, it is important to understand that 7 2 off-suit is the worst hand in poker, so even if I convinced you that this is an awesome hand, don't believe a word I say!  If you calculate the odds, you'll understand that 7 2 off-suit loses the majority of the time.
