I started poking around the internet (that's awfully close to a pun, don't
you think?) to see if I remembered all this correctly (why I didn't do this
BEFORE replying escapes me), and most of the pages I found do NOT require
you to use the two cards in your hand.  You can even make your hand out of
the five face-up cards on the table.

Search for "hold 'em rules" on www.Google.com to get a ton of sites.

BTW, does anyone know if what the difference is between "Hold 'Em" and
"Texas Hold 'Em"?  I see web pages that use either term interchangeably.
"Omaha Hold 'Em", on the other hand, appears to be a genuine variant.
