Poker and beer

[TnT]

Whoooo. A great way to spend the evening: friends, poker and beer. I also came out five bucks ahead -- yeah a low-ball game, but it's just for fun.

Lot's of fun, but usually it's just an excuse to drink and shoot the breeze.
We usually play for nickels and dimes, but last time I played I won 30 bucks

I love poker! Of course no one wants to play a second time with me cause I hardly ever lose. But it's so easy to win when your opponants face reveals their hand.

@gt40: Yeah, we play nickel and dimes too, great fun.

Mostly play cheap to have fun. In college we'd have weekly games and enough people would show up and play 'til they lost their 5 bucks that sometimes I'd end up with 30+ to pay for the beer and food.

I've played in Vegas before as well. Although I played the 2-4 table which, really you don't play to win money. Spend enough time there and any winnings go out as tips to the dealer and waitress. I was there for 8 hours and lost $60. I could have left at one point up but I figured I'm in Vegas, either lose what I planned on losing or win big.

Not many people are that smart.

"lose what you planned on losing?" yech. Why don't you just go pay your tithe to the rich mafia boss and leave, then?

1) Playing poker with a fair assortment of skills -- test my skills.
2) Free cocktails, lots of them. I easily drank well over $30 in drinks, even though I had to switch to water towards the morning.
3) For poker the house takes a 5% rake, they don't win the money.
