**Saint Patrick** · 08-20-2004 08:32 PM

**Stephen Riddington** · 08-20-2004 09:27 PM

I got started playing after watching Moneymaker win it last year. Rounders got me interested playing it more.

I imagine I could make a lot of money if I practiced that until the time I turn 21. I live in Vegas.

I play with friends usually once a week and we go play at the casino about once a month. It's fun.

**IdaMAN** · 08-20-2004 11:33 PM

I have no friends who would play poker and sit around drinking a few. They suck for stuff like that lol. There idea of fun is gaming or sitting around smoking pot. Anyone living in Toronto want to start a poker night? lol.

I play Poker every day. I make enough money off of it to live off of almost. About ~$1600/month. Mainly playing online, and going to the casino about twice a week.

**KIDRR** · 08-21-2004 03:18 AM

Cool, just played a game with friends tonight...made myself a nice $75

**Max-Mex** · 08-21-2004 07:18 AM

I think the cool thing about WSOP is now the Pros are having a real hard time with all these newcomers. Granted they are pros, but not knowing how someone is going to act or react during a hand is critical. I'd think the no names have a bigger advantage because they've seen the big guys play and know their tricks. I think that's one of the big reasons Moneymaker won last year.

**SoulOfKoRea** · 08-21-2004 08:00 AM

the thing I hate about the amateurs winning is that half the time they will chase stupid draws and then make them, like when meng lost to a flush draw on the river when he had pocket ace's

**Gyno Rhino** · 08-21-2004 08:54 AM

Give me a break. Real men play five card stud. You even mention "Texas Hol---" that's as far as you'd get before someone guns you down.

**David** · 08-21-2004 08:58 AM

I regularly play Texas Hol---

Owww you shot me in the foot Gyno!

I PLAY Texas Holdum ABOUT ONCE A WEEK WITH MY FRIENDS!!!

*bleeds all over the place*

**Gyno Rhino** · 08-21-2004 09:00 AM

I'd never shoot you in the foot. That's just mean.

Now shooting someone in the balls.. Well, that's flat out funny.

**Shao-LiN** · 08-21-2004 10:13 AM

Yah, I got into it after watching Rounders...was a cool movie. Fun game to play, but I stick to Pai-Gow and Blackjack when in Vegas.

Rounders is a great flick. John Malcovich(sp) was great in that movie. Small part, but good.

Well, while having a LOT of guns is the second most important thing in the world, being extremely fast with them is the first. And poker players know how to gutshot a man and pee on his corpse in under half a second.

I think that's half the reason, the other half is that he played alot of online poker tournaments. He won his seat by winning a satellite tourney on Pokerstars.com. So his investment of 60 bucks buy-in lead to a 2.5 million jackpot.

Because online poker players play alot of online tournaments, when they play the real thing, they sometimes act like they do when online; thus making things very difficult for the professional players read them.

I was cheering for Farha, he's smooth, confident, and has a pimpin' fashion sense.

I enjoy watching Amir Vahedi, Sam Farha, Daniel Negreanu, and Phil Helmuth Jr. Too many players to list, but these players are the main players I like watching. Dutch Boyd is another, his chip tricks are beyond sick.

Dutch boyd is the biggest loser in poker if you ask me Homer.

**Saint Patrick** · 08-22-2004 09:20 PM

I agree w/ homer, Sammy's a pimp.

btw I won $100 at the Pai Gow Table on friday. Go me!

*high fives self*

**nejar462** · 08-22-2004 10:21 PM

Hold um is a nice variation of poker,

when me and my friends play we play dealer chooses game, so we end up getting a lot of different kinds of games in, hold um being picked a lot.
