Not sure if you would class it as a sport, but do any of you on here play poker ? It's my passion !!

I've played texas hold-em a couple of times. Normally when drunk though so I cant say I'm a dedicated poker player. It's good fun though as long as I'm betting for small amounts. I'd lose my house if i wasn't

Excellent lol, i'll have to watch for when you are drunk next and try find you haha. Just Kidding..... It's 70%skill and 30% luck in my eyes so should be treated as fun by the majority !!

Oh I never play online. That would be too dangerous. I seem to be more cautious when i can physically see the chips in front of me.

I have played poker a couple of times but I find the online games too fast. I do enjoy playing with friends but more so with enemies.

In casino's I play blackjack and I was taught by an expert, more often than not I come out on top or break even but it is dead easy to get carried away.

The last time i played poker i was away for a weekend in Anglesea stpping in a pub and started a game with the barman and a couple of locals,

when it got to about 2-30 i said thats it I'm of to bed (I was winning about twenty pounds)
well there was uproar you can't go to bed now taking our money with you so i stayed.

At about five they had to let me go as they had nothing left to play with and when I checked in the morning I was about £250 up, they wouldn't let me play the next night I'm pleased to say as I would have lost it all back to them,

what a great weekend and worth the earache from her indoors cost about £15 to get her back on side so still on a winner, the good old days.

Now thats a result Carisma !!!

Think it would have costed more than £15 in my household for winning that amount !!!

Or did you not tell the whole truth to your better half about the "amount" of winnings.

Only ever played poker online and started playing about 4 years ago.

Biggest tourney win was about £500 but that was about £20 buy in but only play smaller stakes now days.

Play daily tourney on poker.com with $3.30 buy in with 2 rebuys available has average of 120 players , played 6 six times last week with 3 final tables including 1st winning $180/£125.

Best poker moment ----> Hitting royal flush in a cash game.

Worst poker moment ----> Hitting royal flush in a cash game and winning £1.65 pot

I'm a bit of a Poker fanatic, I follow the major tournements, know all the pro's (not personally though I did meet Dave "Devilfish" Ulliot once) funny thing is I don't really play it that much unless it's just a bit of fun with some mates as I really can't afford to go for big stakes.

I play pokeronline for fun and with freinds for coppers nothing serious but I'm pretty good. I dont like playing online though cos you dont have the same game imo no facial expressions , ticks or twitches to pick up on and bluffing is a 50:50 chance as well
