Well the too game is very different becaouse in poker you can fold your hand if you don't like it but if you play black jack you have to play it to the end even if you don't like your hand. I don't like black jack any way because the house have more chanche to win than you. In poker you play against human opponent and that is much more interensting than playing against a dealer who has a preordered tactic like stop when you reach 17 or so. Poker is also better because it has a lot betting rounds in spite of black jack.

i like both, depends on my mood :) black jack easier to win and lose. but poker gives a chance of winning more than what you have. like if you got 10 players, you get to win a max of 9 times what you have if everyone calls all-in

i guess it's just called Hold'em, the game played at World Poker Tour, where each player gets 2 cards each and 5 cards are drawn on the table and you choose your best poker hand from the 7 cards you can see :)

Poker is great because it is a true game combining skill and the ability to read the other players. Even if you can only do one of the two, you can make money if you bet conservatively. Blackhjack, on the other hand, is a game designed for the dealer to win. If you're playing it in a casino, you're just asking them to take your money.

I find poker much more entertaining that blackjack. This being due to the fact that poker is a game predominately based on skill whereas Blackjack is a game based on luck and chance. Although there is an optimum strategy with BJ i find that with practice poker can be a profitable pastime as it is proving to be for me at the moment.

Stakes are higher in poker. So I guess it's more fun! Also, you have more options in poker than in black jack. Black jack is just a simple addition subtraction game so it bores me.

Black Jack is more fun for me because it's easier. I don't understand how to play poker still! Maybe someone can teach me how one day.. but yes, black jack is really fun to play, especially in the casinos.
