Yeah. That game is more fun to lose than regular poker.

Other forms that I think require far more skill are games like 5 card stud and draw, 7 card, etc.

Then there are games you don't ever see in casinos, more typical of a home based game, that are far far harder and minimize risks of losing from retarded blind draws such as in hold em.

Liars poker (or Indian poker) is just slightly less a skill game than hold em.

I've never understood the appeal of hold em, other than maybe it's a faster paced game where otherwise pretty dumb people can win lots of money.

The giants of poker from years past were much more colorful and interesting (and smarter) than the top players you see now in hold em.

Except maybe that one chick on TV who was in the SI swimsuit edition. She's interesting.
