Heisman Trophy Winner
I just thought I'd start a thread for those of us poker junkies...

I play every month or so in a local game at a Legion Hall. Reminds of Rounders when they're playing with all the cops and city workers.

 
I play in weekly home cash games.

Been thinking of playing at MVP Lounge on Tuesday nights. My buddy qualified thru there to play at the Sin City Showdown this year. He ended up winning it, and a seat at the WSOP. Lucky sob.

Wow, thats pretty sweet...

 
I had a royal flush playing 7-stud in Reno about 25 years ago. I had my flush after 6 cards, and when I saw the king dealt down I hoped the other guy still in got his full house. He didn't so the pot wasn't that big. A couple of locals at the table said congrats, you get a special money clip and lighter to commemorate it, and tossed me a rubber band and a book of matches.

I haven't played in about 10 years, after a home game where I kept pulling out and losing 20s and realized one guy correctly read my hand 3 times in a row. I figured most at that table could, so I pulled out and watched and stuck to low stakes games after that.

 
I used to play no limit in High School every week. It's hard to get a good group to play now that we're in college though. I've been to the casinos in CB a few times lately and I've really taken a liking to pai gow poker.

Do they use the Joker as an ace, or wild, in the 2 card hand at the CB casinos? I've always wanted to try it out.

Joker is (in either the 2-card and 5-card hand) is an ace or a finisher/connector for a straight or flush.

 
First time the wife and I went to AC, I got in a cash game at the Tropicana.

It was 1/2 no limit hold'em table. I got a $100 buy in and after about 3 hours I was up to $200.

The wife sat there for the last hour and I told her, being the big blind, that the next time it came around, I'd fold up shop. I look at my hold cards and I've got a pair of 3's. Of course the douchebag in first position raises to 25. I almost crapped myself.

For some unknown reason, only two people folded. There was a 150 in the pot before the flop. I turned around, looked at the wife, "baby, I'm about to do something really dumb", and I called.

King, 10, and a 3 came on the flop, and I almost crapped myself. The douchebag to my left bet 25 again. A couple people dropped, and I called, so right now, the pots about 300.

4th street was a Jack, and my heart went in my stomach. Guy again bets 25, and on one person drops, and I call. There's 4 of us left.

On the river was a 6, and the 3 ahead of me bet 25 again. I raise to 100, and the guy to my left looks at me and calls me a "motherf*cker". He and everyone else fold, and I walked out with nearly a $500 pot.

 
I've never played..No really.

But I did hear of a sign at a bar reading, "Liquor in the front..Poker in the rear"

 
I play hold 'em about once a month with some guys from work. It's not big money, and most of us aren't very good. It's just nice to be able to hang out and not worry about offending some of the lady-folk we work with.
