How often do you play?
Stakes?
What games?
Ever get nervous that you like poker a little too much?

I play about once every month or so with some guys from work. Dime or quarter ante, a big pot is pushing $20. Generally nobody goes home ahead or behind by more than $20.
We usually play:
Dealers choice, max raise is $2.


  • 5 card draw, jacks or better to open, trips to win.
  • Variations on 7-card stud
  • Texas Hold'em, but not nearly enough
we try to limit the wild cards.
Non poker games;

  • guts (I hate that)
  • 5 1/2: 21 1/2 (great bluffing game)
  • zap
My girlfriend started our poker night, but some of the boys don't like playing with a rookie girl. So we are starting a couples game to get keep
peace in house.

I tend to get obsessed with some of these games - never leave home with more than $40 and limit my consumption of booze while playing. I'd scare myselfe playing for higher stakes.

Hi,

I have played quite a bit of poker, I enjoy it and it can be fun, until the wild card games come out, towards the end of the evening, then betting gets a little rich.

I have been playing a lot of, Kings in the corner, for points and money.

It is a fun game and even the young ones will be able to play (for fun and enjoyment only) anymore I get tired of the booze and poor sports. Winners and losers in a friendly game, turn ugly.

Texas Hold'um seems to be really popular, I prefer 5 card stud, or draw poker Jacks or better.

I would rather go to a casino, play where they are civil, have rules. Similar to the forums we have here.

Regards, Gary

I don't get to play at all ... which is very depressing.

Of course, I don't have the guts to play with the money that needs to be played with. And from my point of view .. 5 card stud or 7 card stud, Nothing ever wild.

I play mostly Texs Hold em whenever I can. I play in No Limit tournaments usually $50 buy-in. We used to have them in the bars around here til they shut it down. Maybe once a every few months I'll head to Foxwoods Casino and play some No Limit $100 buy-in or play in a WPT ACT 1 qualifier.

Looks like we are set up for a $40 no-limit Hold'em tournament this weekend. Think the host has about 14 guys confirmed.

There went $40 out of the paycheck.

Texas Hold 'Em.....$5/$10 at a nearby casino

There are several casinos here in the Chicago area, but unfortunately, only one offers a poker room. Luckily, it's the one closest to my house.
