I play quite an old-fashioned game of poker. It's a lot about getting a sense of people at the table rather than the maths of the thing.
I like to play a lot of poker in my off time.
I am a poker player, but I am not a good poker player. My favorite game is seven card stud, but I'll play hi/lo, Hold 'em, Razz, etc.
I just love poker players.
Not having the online game has made it more difficult. There are a lot of young and upcoming players in poker. But you don't get to see them because TV has sort of been taken away.
Writing about poker is one of my passions.
I'm not a big poker guy, I like to play shnarps.
The World Series of Poker has always attracted a competitive international field.
What I know about poker, you can fit into a thimble with room left over, but I'm learning.
But when I will call it a day, I could become a professional poker player.
To the untrained eye, poker seems deceptively easy.
Before I found out what poker really was I had this picture in my mind of men smoking cigars and having all these chips and like going all macho and crazy. I don't think there's been that much done in the mainstream community to change that perspective.
I'm comfortable with the hold 'em, Omaha and stud high-low. But the other two games aren't my strongest games. I'm not comfortable at all with razz or stud.
My favorite poker game is No Limit Texas Hold 'Em.
In No Limit Hold'em, much like video games and karate lessons, you need to master one level before you can move on to the next.
Anybody who likes to play poker, if you want to find a good poker game, you're going to go play. It's not anything where I'm betting the house, like $100,000. You go, kick back, have fun, talk to some of the fans, enjoy it.
High-stakes gamblers love heart-racing Omaha-type action; normal poker players don't!
It's rare to find these true coin flip situations in Hold'em but surprisingly common in Omaha. That's one of the reasons why Omaha is the perfect game for action junkies who relish the notion of flipping coins for large sums of money.
If you're a poker player and you show up at a casino at 8 a.m., you're going to be by yourself or with some people that are rocks and just don't give you any action.
So to me, Texas Hold 'em puts me to sleep. At least when you play stud, you can be funny as you deal. Somebody some day is going to come up with a Stud show that's going to work.
