Texas Hold'em in anime

Postby pillar_anime7 » Fri Jan 20, 2006 7:32 pm

Is there any anime that has any scenes of characters playing Texas Hold'em? If so, which ones?
Simple arithmetic:
FF7 + World War II games = overrated
freedom + things we're lucky to have = taken for granted
manga + anime = a very happy person
Salvation + Jesus' Sacrifice = Eternal Life
a village - its idiot = a lot of smart people
(more to come)

Words of wisdom:

"Sometimes Justice is a (insert item here)!" - Kato Kaelin

"You wouldn't lie to a judge with a baseball bat, would you?" - Extreme Akim

"For as low as you go, ask God to take you that high." - Tyler Perry

"I had the right to remain silent...I just didn't have the ability." - Ron White

"Your trademark is stupidity!" - Mr. T

"Your eyes can deceive you, don't trust them." - Obi Wan Kenobi

"If you can't be good, be good at it." - my uncle

Hey I'd never thought about it, but that would be kind of cool...

...though the fact that we're both from Mississippi and wondering about a poker anime kind of weirds me out...

I think there might have been some refs to it in Cowboy Bebop.

If only Texas Holdem was as popular in Japan as it was here. A Texas Holdem anime, that would be pretty cool, for maybe like 5 episodes that is.

I play Texas Hold'em (not for money) and I think that it would be cool that some characters would play it instead of 5 Card Draw like I normally see.
