Kalooki is a fantastic game.

In response to the original post yes I think some skills are transferable between different games.

The pressure felt by snooker players in live poker events for example - it is neligable comapred to the world final. Steve Davis will never need to be more patient at the table either will he? Ok they're rubbish examples but a lot of the top thinking games require the same attributes IMO.

Kalooki is very popular in Dublin & Greece. the Greeks thought they were the best until the met Don 'Kalooki' Fagan and had to hitch a lift back on the next boat.

If you want to test yourself they play it in the Fitzwilliam and are apparently quite good. My hands only fit two cards so I don't play it.

My Greek mate spells it like that too.
