@flightgod have you played any sort of Poker before? It uses Poker hands, so if you know Pair, Straight, Full House, Flush, etc. in advance it makes it much easier to teach. But what makes Hold 'Em so much fun imo is how easy it is to pick up the basics and that everyone is playing off of the same 5 community cards. From there though it's amazing how advanced it can get at high levels, knowing statistics/figuring out odds on the fly, bluffing, playing your position, etc. Let me know if you've ever played any sort of Poker, it'll be easier if so for someone to explain.
