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? ;-)

should hit up one of the porn poker tours, super fun at the shows!

A lot of people here play poker...

I get some games going with friends around here sometimes...

good times

welcome to 2007 :)

poker is fun want to play for some $$ ?

lol :1orglaugh

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.

:1orglaugh that's pretty funny

I play but i'm not addicted

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 :mad:
