xj overheats at idle

i do johny.

We actually had a game last night and lcb took home about 200 dollars....

we try to play two nights a week, 20 dollar buy in...
but its usually closer to one night a week.

I've got a real nice set of chips, and my buddy has a nice table. Want to come to one of our games, we got a new apartment out of the ghetto.

Hells yeah! Every Monday night... $5 min to sit, but normally winds up to be $15-$20. We play dealer's call. We wind up playing a bunch of different stuff. Kings and little ones, Jacks and piss, Baseball, Follow the B*tch, Jacks or better - trips to win, Iron cross, Hold'em, as well as all the 5/7 card draw and stud variations. I've got a Hold 'em tournament Sunday at my house this week, too.

Try partypoker.com as well as yahoo! You can play "Playmoney" tables just like Yahoo!, but they have No Limit and Pot Limit tables. Plus there's people graphics, not just the cards. Very cool @ 3:00am. :D

Bullet Exhausts

Some mornings I play "internet spades" while drinking my coffee. Used to meet with a few guys once a month for pot games, but it's been a couple years since.
 
whats the big deal with "holdem" anyway? i hear it all over the place... and WHY... WHY WHY WHY do they have CARDS on espn?????
 
yeah i play hold 'em on the internet too the free one. Also play alot of spades and 7 bridge when a few of us get togather.

before anyone else can get to it....

The deal with holdem is that its cadillac of poker games, and as the saying goes, it "takes an hour to learn, and a lifetime to master".

Its on ESPN cause its a game of skill, not just luck...

And if ya dont believe that, why are the same 30 people consistently finishing in the money at big tournaments like the world series. I know it seems lame at first, but watch a couple those episodes and i guarentee you'll get hooked.

I don't know... I can't pay attention to it long enough to get hooked on it. It's like watching hair grow :roll:
 
"Games" require skill. "Sports" require skill, coordination, and physical conditioning.
I LOVE poker, but it ain't a sport. But I do think it's a blast to watch.

As for the orignal post's question, yes I play a lot. I don't like to gamble, but for 10-20 buy in's I don't have a problem with that. I also like to play on the internet as well. I love winning a good bluff. There is much to learn from the game of poker.

Has anyone seen the Celebrity texas hold em? That's freakin' funny. Dave Navarro's a pretty good card player. You know what would be cool, if one day I could meet some of you folks in person and we could smoke cigars, have some beer, and take eachother's money!!!

yeah stupid lcb, hey at least i stayed in longer than you and your brother dave, thats all that matters. and johnny, take dave up on his offer and come into the city for a game, your money is always good here. :lol:
 
and on a sidenote: all this celebrity poker stuff gives me the chills. all these people with so much money to spend and dont really care if they lose it. i play cause i love it. 20 bucks to play will give me a night of fun with my friends and the potential to win $100-200. i'm a poor college student, so i'm not playing cause i see it on tv, i play cause i think i'm a good enough player to give myself a chance to win. but now that poker has become so mainstream, i cant even go to foxwoods (casino in CT) and sit down at a table with less than $100 and expect to play against people playing real poker. its attracted all the tourists and yuppies. so now you sit at a table in the casino, and as much as you think you might have figured someone out, when they dont know what they're doing, there's no way to predict them, so as good/average/poor as my skills may be, you'd never be able to tell at the table.

all in all, i love poker, i love watching the main event at the world series of poker, and hey, the spelling bee makes it on espn, why not poker? i just wish it hadnt become so mainstream and dragged in all the dead weight of people who have no idea what they're doing. cause believe it or not, at a low limit table in a casino, taking money from someone who has no idea what they're doing isnt always as easy as it sounds.
 

watch poker for an hour and you will see plenty of excitement, considering winning 5 million bucks when you are way down in a hand and then come back to win on the last card, tons of suspense and plenty of action on a poker table.

And yeah as everyone else has said before i took down about 200 bucks last night in poker, so I went out today and got a shock mount fixed and getting a custom cat back exhaust on thursday.

Yay poker for funding jeep mods

Some things are alot of fun to do, but boring as hell to watch. Cards are one of them IMO. As far as the spelling bees, they're just as bad.

I like Golf, but I cant watch it on tv either.
 

I am actually catching a flight to Vegas in 7.5 hours. We are heading out for a buddy's bachelor party and staying at Binions (where the world series of poker is held). Gambling is my favorite pasttime. I love the buy in tourneys there. $50-100 and you get 3-4 hours for poker fun. Whats scary is checking out the no-limit tables and you see people with $10,000 in chips.
