In the Community Weekly Round-up we bring you the best discussions from our forums this week.

Would you rather?

Would you rather?

I love these theoretical debates, I think it's a uniquely male thing. 

Would you rather be skilled and unlucky, or lucky and unskilled?

Would you rather freeze to death or burn to death?

Would you rather visit 100 year ago for a day or 25 years in the future for a day?

Is poker for a living moral?

Morals

Wow, this is a surprising debate in our forums which has been taking place now for several years. 

The debate is about whether it is right to make a living taking money from others, and that poker is not a productive vocation for society. 

You would think on a poker forum that such a debate would be one-sided, but it seems many of you have wrestled with this topic. Join the thread and have your say

Learning to win

Poker variants

What is the best format for a beginner? That's what VaskataBuci wants to know, as he is pondering if No Limit Hold'em is the best game to start with, for his wife. 

Lots of different opinions, and even 5-card draw gets a mention. I'm personally inclined to think either No Limit SNGs or Limit Hold'em are the way to go. You learn all the basics of hold'em, but in a less complex format with a cap to how much you can lose.
