Well I am kinda bored and I don't think I have ever asked on here if anyone played poker. I started playing about a year ago. We play small home games each week for like $10-$20 buyins usually about 8 people. Also go out to the casino some and play some small $1/$2 no limit cash games. Also play poker on pokerstars which is alright but I am on a small bankroll right now trying to build it up. Best night I ever had was at a cash game at the casino.. I bought in with $60 and walked out 4 hours later with $1,000. I am trying to win some satelites on pokerstars currently that will get you a seat in the world series of poker coming up in a few months (the buyin to have a seat at that tourney is $10,000) top prize around 10 million.

Play occasionally at home. registered before with some online poker site and got bored in a few hours (Green Joker Poker i think).
Used to have weekly games.
I think i played about 100 or so games in my life, and i won about 2 of them. Although the best experience was when we were playing and i won a constest on the radio for two RAW tickets.
Yes. I am not good at cards at all.

I don't enjoy risking and (usually) losing money. Just not my thing. I prefer to stick my extra cash in my Roth where, sooner or later, I will have more money.

I play in person but not online. I got addicted to online poker and ended up having to get my card blocked from using poker sites because I couldn't stop gambling haha.

Yes, I do both.
My friends and I have been playing for about 4 years now. Some have been playing longer. We're getting pretty good now. When we went to Las Vegas last year, three of us joined a 100-person, $100 buy-in tournament. Two of us split heads up for $1,500/ea. The other one of us placed 4th for $500. It was a GLORIOUS run for us, to say the least, and we all left Vegas with money in our pockets.
My best night of a cash game was sitting down at about 8:00pm with $100 at a $2/4 pot limit hold 'em table on Full Tilt Poker. I left the table at about 4:00am with almost $1300 in my account. It felt great. I actually thought I was really good that night... Then I realized that I was just decent, but I got lucky. Hahaha.

I play, but I haven't done so in quite a while, the friend I always played with got shipped off to Iraq, so I haven't had anyone to play with for a while.
But when he gets back I plan on pulling one hell of a session.

I like live poker. I've seen too many crazy running cards after the flop, online.

You couldn't pay me enough to play with real money. I might be open to playing with funny money, but not the real stuff. I've got none I can afford to lose and like I said, I'd rather fund my Roth than some other guys gambling habit. |

If you're a better/smarter player than the other guy, you're going to end up being in the positive over the long run. |

My brother plays all the time. Obviously I'm not old enough to actually go to casinos, but he taught me how to play Texas Hold 'Em a long time ago, and I play with him every now and then..

Oh yeah, I play all the time whenever I can. Just in the last week, I've been on a roll in live poker games at this weekly game that my friend holds. Finally, after a couple of months of bad luck, I finally had turned it around, and made a profit.  Online Poker, there's always some crazy runner-runners, it's not exciting, but yeah. |

There's some truth to that to be sure, but for every poker player who's sucessful and makes decent money there are hundreds who are losing their shirts. |
