We have around 10 decks , but never play poker at home. Only reason we have some many is that we always lose a card, and need athe full deck to play. So we go out and buy another deck. we only play when were on vacations and usually we'll play for dimes and nickles.

Wow, some many decks, but like here in Brasil, I believe that a deck of cards is really cheap to buy. I play poker alot at home with my wife, we have fun, but when we get tired of shuffling the cards, we go online and play there.
With friends I play a game called TRUCO, which has bluffing in it but it is different from poker.

hahah never heard of it.. in italy we have Brisk both 3 and 4 carded ( like eucher almost..), Scopa... but those are played with special Italian cards....
the deck consists of A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, queen, jack, king..... the jack who is on a horse is usually higher than the queen... and we dont use its.. "cups" "suns" "bastones" (like a club i guess), and swords...

I will try to find an article about this game from Brasil and copy/paste it here. I have a really difficult time trying to explain a card game in words! As soon as I come accross such text, I´ll post it here.
