Poker thread (creative title huh?)

[Bowski]

Any Texas Hold 'em fans out there?
Talk about your bad beats, miracle draws and maybe get some contestants for internet poker etc etc.
For those unfamiliar with the game you might learn a thing or two about the game that takes 2 minutes to learn and a lifetime to master.

Ah, the phase.

 

[Boozeroo]

Na, you're bluffing TBR.

Had cowboys under the gun. Small raise, folds all round to the button. One lucky fish this guy. All night been playing with ace + anything and sucking out. Calls me, blinds fold. Flop comes 9K9. Awesome. Boat. Another small raise, keep the pot up and lay bait for him to steal. He calls again. Turn is another 9. Bit of a worry, check and watch him closely. Puts me all in. Way too quickly. No way he's got a 9. I lay down my big boys, he groans, but as he's laying down AT, says "1 out". I'm like "huh?", then just as I realise what he means, down comes the river. Case 9. Pwned.

We have those plus NPPL, but a few pubs have dropped off the bandwagon lately as interest has dried up a bit at that level.

My personal preference is Sit n go, but at the casino they take a huge chunk for themselves, so home games are the way to go for me.

I only play SnG or the occasional tourney, I suck at ring games.

I suck at ring games.

You should chat to Devil Fish, Zondor tells me he is quite good at them. Might learn a thing or two.

You know DF based his name on a top poker player don't you? Making your observation brilliant on at least two different levels.

D Negreauno is one of My faves atm. It's National over here Booze, play twice a week at the local. Phase my ***.
Ever since the Ice Hockey strike a few years back I've been a fair poker tragic. Never the best and never the worst is my tagline so it goes without saying i lose more than I win.

Got to the second final table this week and was doing well then i was moved to even the tables, went all in at the new table with pocket J's against one caller with pocket 6's hits a 6 on the river...to say I was cut would be an understatement. And to top it all off I would have looked like a complete rookie to the guys at the table.
