Poker

Post by Lost Ghost »

If you don't consider it a sport......forget it....I only really posted it here, cause this section gets more play for me than any other....so here we go


What do you guys think of it? I know the game's been around longer than man exsisted...but the sudden increase in popularity...TV coverage...and the average amount of people playing it can't be ignored. I really enjoy playing it...I've been getting games in friday and saturday both the past couple weekends....so my skills are on point....I'm actually leaving right now to go play.......Fuck having a job ...my average income in 3 hours work is like $40-$70 depending on the amount of people playing.......

Anybody got any past experiences or opinions on it in general they'd like to share?

I'm starting to get into it. I don't play it that often, though. I usually only play when I go down to my brother's in Windsor. So far I'm undefeated. lol

I catch it on TV occasionally, too. Celebrity Poker is boring, though. Too much checking.

LoL...Bodybuilding isn't, baseball hardly is, but Poker is a sport..? Oh LG, you just keep it movin'... /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

I'm scared to play poker...I'm afraid that I'll be too good at it, my telepathy is too strong...I'd be on the dark side of the force before you know it... /:D" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt=":D" />

I vaguely know how to play...I'm not sure what the most popular game is these days (Texas Hold Em?) but I know which hands win, and the order in which they do...I wish there was an online site which I could hop on to familiarize myself with while I clean out you chaps Paypal accounts...
