OT: Any of you guys up for Poker?
« Reply #15 on: July 06, 2004, 03:32:48 PM »
I'm probably the only person who detests Texas Hold 'Em.

Personally, I'm more fond of games like Murder and Buy Your Card Substitutuion (Hi/Lo).

I'm more of a recreational player.

An ex-roommate is actually trying to make a living at poker.  He's now living downstairs at his dad's house....

Are you not techie?  If you're from a tech background how could you not LOVE Texas-Holdem?  I can understand tech people not liking "no limit" games but other than that it's a very analytical game.

Yeah, I'm a techie, but I don't like my games completely or even mostly technical.

Let me know if you guys are interested in playing on PokerRoom.com because I get bonus points for refferring people.

The reason I chose that site over other sites is because it does NOT require you to download their software.  The game interface runs in a browser applet.  Last night was a trip, I played in my first no-limit game and within 45 minutes went up 4,000 in play money.  After another couple of hours I bave back 3,000 of play money.  Still, it was fun playing a NL internet game.  It's definately much easier to play on the net because I'm not very good at keeping my poker face nor am I good at reading other people's faces.
