I'd like to learn - always looks interesting. Don't know if I could keep up a 'poker face'

The Rainbow Warrior (sometimes unofficially Rainbow Warrior I) was a former UK Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAFF) trawler later purchased by the environmental organisation Greenpeace. The ship was active in supporting a number of Greenpeace protest activities against seal hunting, whaling and nuclear weapons testing during the late 1970s and early 1980s. She was sunk whilst in harbour in New Zealand on 10 July 1985, killing one of the activists.

I've never learned! Why is it called "poker" do you know?

I have no idea! It's fun if you're just playing with friends for pennies.

There are many varieties, we always just played 5 card draw, occasionally with deuces wild.
