I must be one of the few who discovered the great kick you get from playing poker just recently. But now I have done it, and play daily online.

Any other, poker players here?

I used to play fairly often, don't as much these days. Money goes on other things. Still enjoy the odd game and I love playing it for real (real life

)

I play PokerStars.com occasionally, NLTH though.

**imported_Max** · 07-06-2006, 11:03 AM

Sadly, yes. Every time I win, I lose all my winnings and more.

**Romestar** · 07-06-2006, 11:14 AM

Do you guys play for money or for fun?

**imported_Anthony** · 07-06-2006, 11:39 AM

it's no fun without money

**Fredto** · 07-06-2006, 11:40 AM

I played poker a few times online. Always prefered blackjack though.

Always played for fun too.

-cough-
poker addict here.

I'm a regular at 3 casinos in reasonable driving range. I have house games on saturday nights pretty often - I go to "undergrounds" to play freezeouts once in awhile - and I play online. At least - 4 out of 7 days a week.

I like to play.

**Dr. Domaining** · 07-06-2006, 12:32 PM

No, I don't play poker and I don't gamble.

**imported_Anthony** · 07-06-2006, 01:07 PM

I'll bet you I can make you gamble

**Hoang** · 07-06-2006, 01:44 PM

I play once in awhile on PartyPoker but I'm terrible at it

**ltn1dr** · 07-06-2006, 01:52 PM

I am horrid at online poker, lost over $150 in FullTiltPoker in my first 2 days, but in real life poker I'm not bad because people underestimate me lots.

^ That only works when I'm playing with people older than me though

I just cashed out $200 two weeks ago and $100 yesterday on PokerStars. I play probably a game online every other night before I head to bed.

My brother's been really successful both online and in real life poker.

I think he averages at least $500/week now just from playing with friends and online while he's in the bathroom

Now playing with my friends is a joke. The last 5 times I've played with them I have won every time. Their so easy to read for the most part which makes it rather easy to play against them. Last time they played they didn't even ask me to play because they wanted someone else to have a chance. :-P

I used to play alot on PartyPoker but just havent gotten back into it. I watch it all the time though.

**soj** · 07-07-2006, 09:36 PM

yeah i frequent in the australian poker league and down at crown casino, many house games, bit sick of the online games as it doesnt have that casino atmosphere. anyway, all you poker players should join my Poker Forum (http://www.pokerfluff.com) i know you all want to :P

**gregcherry** · 07-07-2006, 10:50 PM

Although I don't play poker as often I would like to, I'm addicted to watching it anytime I can find it on TV.

**Hexation** · 07-07-2006, 11:31 PM

I used to play at college this past semester everday. I won 87% of the tournys. That was my entire income and paid for all my food living in my dorm.

**Bryan Le** · 07-08-2006, 02:48 AM

Poker is my one weakness. I play too often and too much. I attend a weekly $1/$2 NLTH game, and I play on Party Poker almost religiously....it cuts down on my productivity time and my money.

I have GOT to stop. lol. But the quick boost of money is a great bonus. I do it for the rush, thrill, and adrenaline - as well as for the competition and challenege.

Same reason I play chess.
