    Just curious...poker....

    it's some time i play poker with my friends and i noticed that Texas Hold 'Em is becoming always more and more popular, friends of friends play, etc etc...so question for the board, who does play poker here and most importantly, who has an addiction for it? ;-)

          lol

          but yeah, if anything, texas holdem is becoming a little less popular, since it hit such a peak not too long ago

            Less popular? I dont think so....maybe online sales or something like that- I went to foxwoods or mohegian and saw more people playing holdem than anything else in the casino- and it wasnt a tournement day. insane

              Maybe less popular to watch and more popular to play!

                Poker is still thriving

                I have played for 5 years now, started out playing 7 card stud and quickly went over to texas holdem nl

                I am not addicted to persay but I love playing it and for a while I was slightly addicted to the money I made from it

                Now I work instead of playing... I never went beyond an average hourly pay of $22 which is only half of what I get for programming which is around $46/hour.

                However I did play over 300.000 hands and do have some nice statistics on my play, it's a fun fun game but buy pokertracker so you can see exactly how much you earn and how many hours it have taken you. And for the first month of serious trying you will probably just lose.

                I played 9 tables at the same time NL$50 6 Max.

                The guy I started to play poker with put a whole other effort into and played very very much and is in Vegas right now.
                he has won around $400.000 on playing NL$1000 - 8 tables at the time. over two million hands.

                It takes time but if you have a good head, lots of determanation and never ever play without having AT LEAST 30 buyins it is possible to get to the top.

                so when I play NL50 I have to have $1500 in my account. Bankroll management it's called for those who gives a shit

                  Shark Scope show me at 0% ROI -$100 and on super tilt. LOL. Man I've been running really bad. Thankfully I only play micros on PokerStars because if I was playing at higher stakes I would have gone nuts by now. It's a cruel game sometimes but I still love it.

                        Yeah man I'm losing even when I'm a 4-1 favorit in the hand. Guys catchin 2 outters. Runner runner kicker cards. You know A-K vs A7 flop will be A48 then they'll catch 7-7 on the turn and river. Pocket kings lastnight cracked by J-6, he catched Quad 6's. Or when I have a big hand like kk-qq-jj they'll have the pair higher then mine.. Just been bad all around
