Sure, I've played a few hands with friends. I quite enjoyed it (probably 'cause I actually did pretty well). But we never got as far as starting a regular game. Which is probably just as well, 'cause I'm a lousy loser.

Occasionally. Played Elevator, Baseball Diamond, Double Diamond, Criss-Cross, Stud, Draw, Wild Card, Strip (well, it's been a while back in my youth), etc.
Edit: I almost forget. I also play Pepito (Filipino-style poker).

Used to have a regular Teusday night game with some of the guys in my apartment building in Vancouver.
Was a lot of fun and we kept it low and light, so it remained fun.
A couple of people had to be uninvited as a result of getting a little too upset over their losses.
Played, though not for $.

Okay, thanks spyone. Most of the card combinations do have english names (flush, full, pair) or sound alike, but four of a kind is called carré wich means "square"...
