You play good FauxCult.

“Each person is dealt two cards, and there is a round of betting. Then three community cards are turned face up in the center of the table, and there is another round of betting. Finally, the turn and river cards are dealt once at a time, with a round of betting after each, and the best five card hand wins the pot. This is what you want to dedicate your life to?”

I remember this post too and thought it was great although I've never seriously considered playing professionally.
