Poker

Haven't played in ages thanks to stupid lack of net access. But went down to Leicester Square for a poker fair with pros giving speeches and a buncha free rolls. I won a t-shirt for winning a single table ultra turbo (blinds up every 2 hands; took us about 10 minutes). Woot! ;)

Found a pub nearby that has games, though...will have to look into it.
 
I need to find a pub that has games near me.. while the 24/7 casino has a bar.. it isn't healthy
 
Right on - I was just gonna bump the old poker thread I used to be pretty active in. This will do fine though.
 
Praise be to Scotty Nyguen, the greatest poker player of all time....That's right, baby!

Oh but how I adore hold 'em...My favorite aspect is when the flop comes your way and you bet. Some douche raises you, so you call. The turn makes your hand stronger, but I check quickly. The douche raises, of course and that's the moment I love, that pure 'I got your fucking ass!' moment. Then I take a long time to call, and repeat the process on the river, except instead of calling I push all in.......And knock the douche off my table. It's the greatest feeling in the world, taking money by being shady, yet winning at the same time. Ownage.
 
unless you're cheating, there's no shady play in no limit texas hold 'em

...But essentially, when I act like I'm making a mistake even though I know they are, that's dishonesty.

I guess that's why I love the game...It's ok, rather, it's encouraged to be dishonest.
 
Well...It essentially is.

...But that's my point. In poker it's ok to be a ruthless, dishonest, money-hording, dictator, better than ok...That's how you win!

Furthermore, when you 'bully' people around with the big stack, you're more likely to win, but isn't bully a negative term anywhere else?

I love this game.
 
the espn coverage of the main event has started. i'm watching the first segment and saw some guy get busted out of day one - his quad aces beat by a royal flush. the Ad on the river made both hands...

chances of quad aces vs. royal in the same hand? 2.7 billion to one :)

Oh my, wish I could've witnessed that

Will probably have to wait until final table to see it on Channel 5 in the UK
 
thats a crazy fucking hand, and whats crazier? ray ramano being there!
 
played at my local card club again last night - they have a $50 tournament. i've only played once before and i won it :)

didn't last longer than an hour.

dealt KK. raise in late position to 3 times the blind. two callers. flop comes 288. guy to my right checks. i bet about half the pot. guy to my left folds. guy to my right moves all in. i call. he turns over A9 and hits an ace on the river to bust me.

poker is great. poker sucks.
