[edit] So poker was played in China?
Historian David Parlett says that the card games played in China are part of the trick-taking variety, a game similar to hearts or bridge. Not even a court-order will convince me that poker in its "purest" form is in anyway similar to bridge. Poker is part of a family of vying card games, which use bluffs, betting, hand rankings, and a showdown if everyone hasn;t folded. The earliest references of vying games are in the 15th century, no where near China. There is no evidence that vying games existed in China (until modern times), or any game similar to vying games in that region. Plus, the sentence I deleted wasn't even sourced.
