[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7470574, member: 22779"] But, even if you are changing which game of poker you are playing from hand to hand, your instance of that particular hand is automatically locked into that particular version of poker. IOW, you never use the rules of poker to create a new version of poker which has virtually nothing connecting to previous versions of poker. Sure, you have variations, but, the order of winning hands rarely changes (barring some oddball additions like "player with the lowest spade takes half the pot"). You might deal different numbers of cards, or have different wild cards, but, at no point are you suddenly going to play Uno with poker rules. OTOH, a given campaign is largely self contained and is virtually impossible to port from one table to the next. If I play seven card stud at one table, and then play seven card stud at another table, virtually nothing has changed. If I play in two different campaigns, however, it's entirely possible that virtually everything has changed. [/QUOTE]
