Would anyone still bother playing??

I dont see any real reason for the game to exist without money.

If there are two things LHE players like, they are weed and pornography. The third would be kittens. LHE does not appear on the list.

Prison is a perfect example of not needing actual dollars to gamble. Anything of worth can be used to gamble.
Someone needs to read up on their history.

I was thinking that, In Asia gambling is just as big as it is here.
why if they are communist what is good about gambling?

The challange and factor of luck is very powerful
Any thing of value can be handed over on chance will be done.
