Poker?
With poker being more popular as ever I was wondering if anybody here is playing? It's a strategy game that can make (or lose) you money after all.

I've played a handfull of times with friends, but never went pass that.
One of my buddy's brother actualy plays 40 hours a week over the internet and has made over 100k each of the last 3 years. He has even made sure his thing was legal as he hired an accountant and pays taxes over his earnings.

That is one of the many ways to make a living or so it seems. 40 hours a week is a full time job. No wonder it pays well.

I don't like poker. I don't like gambling either.

I playing it fairly regularly once or twice i week. They have a pub league here that i play. Get $100 if you win which i've done a few times, plus if you finish in the top of a venue you qualify for a final. Last time i made it and finished 17th and got $175.
I do enjoy the strategy involved and trying to read people and all that goes along with it. But i'm not a big gambler so i haven't gone to the casino or anything like that, i like to keep my money with me

So nobody is playing online? I've been playing a bit myself for fun and I must say I like the maths & strat side about it.

Althogh I surely could do the maths part to be a good poker player, the new hype was completely without me. I don't even know the rules of Texas Hold'em exactly. Somehow I am thinking: I don't have the time to become a really good Civ IV player, so I am not sarting on something else...Hatrick is the only other game I regularly use ( at least I am quite satisfied in what I achieved there )
