poker, any fans?

The social component is the largest component of the game. Reading your opponents, faking them out, knowing their tendancies, using chit chat to distract, etc etc. Much bigger part of the game than the cards you are dealt. Hell, it's quite often the cards you are dealt don't mean shit for who wins.

It's quite easy to make money online without knowing anything about your opponents.

There's making money and there's also having a good time. I can make money working at McDonalds, doesn't mean it's enjoyable. But don't get me wrong, the (apparently) easy money that online poker offers sounds nice.

And I take back my former opinion on hold em. I'm starting to appreciate it more.

I've been playing like crap lately, way too loose. I think I need a vacation from this game.

I believe this news.

I haven't won in a while, and I know I'm the best player at the table when I play.

So I was playin' in a tourny tonight, and with 3 people left, I moved all with a 9/10 and was called by an K/8. Flop comes K/8/4. No money for me. Turn comes. 7. Open ended straight draw.... River comes... 6. Thanks for yo money, sucka!

I went on to take him out of his final 3 chips afterwards and the other person and won the tourny.
