I was playing fairly regularly on pokertards(stars), and play occasionally at a bar and the casino(maybe 8-10 times this year)

Haven't played in a live game for a couple of months....but I do pretty well Live.

I had to figure out how to play online the hard way. Its different and you have to bet differently(more agressive) to win online.

I wish I had a regular "buddy game"....but I don't.

Turns out not many like me in real life either.

I play online for "play" money. Maybe we should have a "Chiefsplanet poker night" or something.

jaglow · 06-09-2005, 02:45 PM

Both online and live. I like Omaha as well. Hubby taught me. He does much better than I, but has been doing it for eighteen years longer than I. The nearest casino to us is in Kentucky, so the 'live' is limited to some poker nights around the house and the once a year trip to Vegas.

I played for the first time in real life a couple of weeks ago with my neighbor and some of his friends. I really don't understand the fascination with it - to me, it got tedious after a while - extremely tedious. I know it's the current, trendy, sexy game to play, but I could give a shit about that. I prefer playing poker where the dealer calls the game and the games vary. I'll take regular old stud or draw poker any day.

Never played on line. Don't have any desire to, either.

Carlota69 · 06-09-2005, 02:48 PM

I love to play. I play here in the casinos fairly often. My favorite is the bachelor parties that show up, take over a table, get totally drunk and give their money to lil' ol me..

I just got press passes for the World Series. I plan on getting ready to pay in it next year, hopefully.

Any thoughts of taking over a table or two at pokerstars.net and playing a Chiefs Planet tourney? Just for fun...

**Dartgod** · 06-09-2005, 02:54 PM

I play online for fun at Pokerstars.net and Pokerroom.com.

The wife and I play in a regular tournament once a month with friends. 12 - 14 people on two tables and we rotate each month hosting the party. I get a huge kick out of it.

**Iowanian** · 06-09-2005, 02:55 PM

I play at pokertards, and I'd do a CP tournament...but can't until after the 20th.

I'm going to be in Vegas July 2-5 and would like to check out some of the WSOP tournaments. Can anyone come and watch or do you have to buy tickets or what?

The WSOP is going on right now, so you will be unable to check that out, however, there are all kinds of tourneys all over town. Mandalay Bay has a good one, Monte Carlo has the best poker room in town. They have the best high-hand jackpots, and the room just has a killer feel to it..This is the capital of poker, so definetly enjoy when you are here..

Play for real money only now. Mostly tournaments at pokerstars.com and pokerroom.com . Started out playing live but I'm too busy in my real life so I play late at night and don't want to mess with driving out to the casinos and back at 1:00 am in the morning.

All card games bore me.

That is a card game right...?
