One more thing like you said "I"m not sure" but this would be something I have to look at My uncle Johns reader for.
But you are close on the EXACT ORGIN of poker dating to 1600 possibly the 1700's

But I think poker itself is a mixing of an old roman card game played with 16 or so cards mixed with a french game consisting of more cards when I get home tonight I'll post the exact details. But to be exact I was correct when i said soldiers because The roman game was created by soldiers and the french game was created by soldiers but untill i can post the exact facts we'll leave it at that.

Does anyone else have some info on the origin of poker ?
