Video poker is definately one of my favorite games. This way I can play and not worry about being embarassed by my short hand skills. I don't play well but the computer is fair competition. If I feel rusty playing this way helps me to hone my skills and prepare for live game play. Wild card games are great they seem to up your odds of winning a bit.
