I play poker with my friends once in a while. The last time i played was on saturday with 5 other people and a 10$ buy in. (usually we play with 10-12 people with a 5 dollar buy in and you can re-buy until a certain time) but this game was on short notice... Anyways
It started and i was doing good, i was the chip leader but then i started getting way to aggresive and ended up with 11 chips (we started with 50) so i went all in against 2 people won and i was back in the game and eventually won the poker game. at one point i got 2 high straights in a row. one was almost a royal flush. (A,K,Q,J,10) i think i missed by one card being a different suite.
So, Heres my Question : Do you guys play poker? If if so tell about your games.
Yes, I do.
I either go all in or fold, and I wear a sweatshirt with a hood that you can adjust, and cover my face with it.
I won, but whenever nobody was looking I just stole some of the pot.
The game was free, though.
Nobody to play for money with.
Not like I'd bet money on the turn of a card.
I believe that 90% of the game is luck. How else could I win like 9/10 times? ;P
I've beaten people 3 times my age though (I'm 15) at certain places...including against one of my teachers (who I think technically said it's illegal for him to be 'teaching us' gambling...as if I didn't know how to play)
I used to play 5 card draw, but no one does that, so I switched to that texas hold 'em stuff. Everybody plays it now. I think I do best in 1 on 1 or "heads up" situations.
1 out of the 2 times I lost a game, I went all in on the first hand just so I could get back to playing UT ;P
We have sort of a monthly get together, where about 30-40 people gather together at a friends house, have a bonfire, have a good time
and end up usually having a large tourniment of poker games. (about 10-15 people) We have always set the minimum ammount needed to play is $10 but people go over sometimes. (considerably)
Also a bunch of my parents friends get together for thanksgiving, which usually turns out to be unquestionably the best day of the year. (For many, many, reasons other than poker) And I can always have a good time beating drunk old guys who go for the big money.

It's all about reading who your playing with. Its funner with people who are trying to win and hide whatever they are feeling, especially if you've played with them for a while.
It may be a game of luck, but if you are good enough to read what someone has, thats not luck
Ex. if you are able to make someone fold with pocket A's your the man
I play all the time in school, we get in trouble when we bet so now we just play with chips not worth anything, I am about $300+ before we got caught, we each started with 10 bucks in each game, I am the master of Poker!
This would be a saweet game for someone to code for SEN!
Ideas?
- Buy chips with your minerals
- Have like 10 tables to join
- 8 people to table
- 5 2 person tables for 10 highest chip holders
Wicked good Idea!!!

Pocket rockets aren't hard to lose with. They're only the highest pair.
But, I play poker all the time. I'm the 5th hour study hall Texas Hold'em champ. I figure I'm a pretty good player. When I turn 18, headin to the casino to win some money.Yea me and my friends do a 10$ buy in every once in a while at somebody's house.
I play every lunch time at school but I don't use real money. We could get suspended if we play with real money. We still play with chips though.
Ya, thst is what we do!
Does anyone agree with me that this would make a good game for this forum?
Has anyone played Poker Td for Starcraft, older game
Don't make a poker game for this forum. That'd be gay. Just download Full Tilt Poker or UltimateBet and get iPwned by Dubs McBacon.
I think that having a Poker game for this forum would be fun, another way to make some minerals and something fun to do, doesnt take that long to play a game either
Go here to Vote for the game to be on SEN
http://www.staredit.net/index.php?showtopic=30182Why does EVERYTHING have to deal with SEN? Try to break away from this place somehow...
I do, when I am not on my laptop!
He he, I love Texas Hold'em.
Me and my friend were screwin' around on pacific poker, and had like 600$ left, so we joined a 550+50 Hold'em Tourney, looking to lose all our money so we could get a new 1000 (and because we were bored). So, we went all in several times in the first five minutes, and won every time. We moved to the second table (there were 2 tables, 10 at each) and started losing a bit of money (oh no!). By now, we were playing seriously, and ended up getting over 8000$. Noone else had more than 4000$. Unfortunately, I had to go home, but my friend kept playing. Eventually, his dad made him get off to eat supper, but fortunately there were only 3 people left so we got 3rd prize (a cool 2200$). It was pretty sweet.
I'd vote for it to be on SEN.

Like I said, 90% luck.
That's the other 10% ;P
Really though, bullcrapting is the only -skill- involved in the game...the rest is the luck of the draw...=/
