Texas Hold em
So.....Is texas holdem as big in your town as it is in mine? What with all the espn coverage and the world series of poker...
I play with friends on monday night.
But I'm in laughlin right now, hammered in my hotel room typing on the dbb from a sidekick..
I played in 2 poker tournaments tonight..they lasted hours..it was tight...I'm down 400 bucks for the night...that was not tight...in fact that sucks...but the tournament was sweet anyway...
Peace!

I usually play one or two times a week. We used to be strictly Texas until about a month ago. Now we play dealer's choice and hope for the best.
Ever play Anaconda? That game is crazy... 7 cards face down. Bet, pass 3 to the left, bet, pass 2, bet, pass 1, choose your best five and discard the other two, put those five in a face down stack. Everyone flips their top card, bets, the next card, bets, the next, etc.

It is a variety of poker, made very popular by series on ESPN (World Series of Poker) and the Travel Channel (World Poker Tour). I can't give you all the specifics, but each player starts out with two cards. After bets are placed, 3 community cards, called the "flop," are laid down. If play continues, a fourth and fifth community card are laid down. Basically, the player tries to get the best hand between his/her own two cards and the community cards. If the community cards have the best hand, no one wins the hand. It's surprisingly entertaining to watch on TV .

i see no difference between a bike and a car as far as a race goes...the running and swimming are different though
Motor sports rule...but i dont play motor sports on monday , i play texas holdem.
im back at work now...but man those 20 dollar buy in tournaments with a ton of people goin for 2 hours all trying to knock each other out for the 2,000 dollar pot was pretty cool...
