No limit hold'em. I love the game.

It makes life much harder and complicated than it needs to be. Regularly playing tourns that last for 4 or 5 hours, sometimes longer.

Just wondering who else on here plays.

yeah i play, 6 max NL hold em cash games, used it to make a bit of money while having last summer off work, did ok, couldnt see my self doing it full time tho

Big fan of hold em myself, i play online, winning usually £50 or so quid in a night.

and about once every fortnight, me and my friends each put £20 in, and winner overall gets the whole pot, always a good night

Prefer 6 max but play the bigger tables too. Mainly play tourns. Bigger returns for less risk. But can see the appeal of cash games. I make money but not enough to give up the day job. Have won a few online tourns with buy in between £20 to £50 and a few hundred players in them. But the prob with tourns is that to get a lot of wins and final tables, you have to play a lot.

i play online

I only play online. I wouldn't get away with that much time out of the house! I get enough grief as it is (Deservedly)

do a google search for Bluescouse, its a blog, he has stoped posting in it now, but it detailed his poker playing for 2/3 years with regular daily updates,

very intresting read, the massive highs and crazy lows he went thro, lost it all in the end i think.

had a quick read of Bluescouse

he sounds like a very good player with poor discipline

thats one of the things about poker .. you can have the technical skills but you need to keep it together in the head .. one of the reasons i play tourns and not cash .. less expensive if you make a mistake in a tourn ...

tend to play on line
go from playing everyday to not playings for months.

I play on AOL but not for money just the fun of it.

Its guys like him that give gambling a bad name!

wheres the best place to go online

gambling is against god will

i shall pray for you guys

I've more recently gotten into poker, as I didn't know how to play so wasn't interested. Me and some mates had a game last week with a £5 buy in, winner got £40 which is alright as we do it for the fun night.

Also I play PKR online (only tried 'play money' though which is good practise) - its cool that you get your character and you can do the actions etc.

I have qualified for a £200 buy in tournament next week. Can you pray for me in that please Calo.

I find the best site is the PKR site. Graphics unbelievable and keeps away from the yanks.
