Any board members play poker at all?
Im having my 2nd ever serious game tonight, last time it was a ?10 buy in between 8 making for a ?80 pot and i came 5th
Tonight however it is a ?2.50 buy in making for a ?20 pot, but the best part is most of the better players from last time can't make it so i have a good chance of taking home the twenty
Ill post how i do later on but for now post poker stories, or just yes/no on whether you play it

I played all of the time in college. ?It was one of the ways I got my spending money. ?I also played a lot in vegas. ?I haven't, however, played as much since the Poker craze has started. ?If you know how to play though, there is a lot of money to be made because there are more people than ever that try to play that don't know how to.
Here's my worst story:
I was playing 20/40 at the Mandalay Bay in vegas. ?I got A J suited. ?I was in like third position, and I raised before the flop and get called by a few players. ?Flop comes A J 10. ?So I check, then the guy next to me bets, three more call, and then I check raised. ?Everyone called my raise but one. ?The next card comes: another J. ?So I have Js over As, and there is only one hand that can beat me in the game, pocket As. ?I raise, the guy next to me folds, the next guy calls, the next guy folds, and the next guy reraises. ?We both call. ?Final card comes Q. ?There is no possibility of a straight flush on the board. ?I assumed that the other players were on a straight draw, and maybe one had two pair, or the other J. ?I checked because there were two other players in the game. ?If they had anything they would bet, and if they didn't they wouldn't call my bet anyway. ?The guy next to me bets, then the guy next to him raises. ?I am thinking that I am golden and that this guy has a straight, so I reraise. ?The initial better folds. ?The initial raiser finally reraises me, and I call. ?Of course, he had pocket As. ?He just had the perfect hand, and he had the perfect victim in me with a great second hand, and of course a bunch of other stupid players. ?I thought he would have played it more strongly if he had the As, but I was wrong. ?That pot was huge. ?
I think it is in Rounders where they talk about not remembering your biggest wins, but vividly remembering your bad beats. ?That certainly was the case for me.
Good luck in your game.

Play texas hold-em all the time. It truly is the cadillac of poker, love it. It's one of the few games where it doesn't matter what you have, but how you bet. Not always, of course, but if you can bluff really well, you can win alot. No better card game out there.

I play a lot with friends and online. I only play the free games online now, as the bastards at the credit card company won't let it be used for online gambling.
With friends, we just play $5 buy in tournament style games. My best finish there is 3rd (walked home with $17). As for online, I play at Pokerstars and UltimateBet. I'll play anything, but my favorites are limit hold 'em (placed 30th in a 3500 player tournament in LH on Pokerstars) and triple draw. Triple Draw is 5 card draw lowball, and with 3 draws instead of one. Interesting game. It's available in both A-5 (where the best hand is A-2-3-4-5, flushes do not count against you, nor do straights), and 2-7 (best hand is 2-3-4-5-7, straights and flushes DO count against you). I greatly prefer A-5.

All you have to do is open a Netteller account, send the money to them, and then send it from Netteller to website.

I'd definitely be up for a HTGTH Hold 'Em tournament, or really any other type of poker. I'll play anything and everything. I'm on PokerStars, PartyPoker, and UltimateBet. Screenname is drew23235 on all of them.

I like playing Texas Holdem. Sometimes I even play for real money online. I don't win much, I don't lose much. The thing though, I like to play with real people instead. Online is fun, but poker is a game in which every little detail counts and applying psychology and looking at the other players, it's something that can't be done online.
I do play for fun with my friends though. We do sometimes bet a few things, drinks, dinners whatever.
I'm up with Oddy, if you guys want to set up some kinda HTGTH poker contest (with play money of course) I'm up for it.

Sounds good, if it can be done somehow. I'm sure I'd win, though, I've got tons of play money.
