July 26, 200718 yr Just curious - tkam is already clue in my little poker hobby. If you are, what kind of games do you play, where, how much, etc.
July 26, 200718 yr We used to play once a week when I was in high school. We played pretty much every variant of poker (7 card, holdem, anaconda, low in the hole, roll your own, etc). Usually $10-15 buy in with 7-8 people, it was fun. I still play holdem with some "new" people I met, but that's pretty much all they play. Similar buy in, tourny rules. I've played a couple of times at the casino, real low limits like 2/4, it's not bad. My friend (one of the guys from high school that started the poker thing amongst us) played for a living for a couple of years. Either on partypoker or at Foxwoods, he averaged about $60k a year.
July 26, 200718 yr Author Cool - my buddies play a tourney about once a month, 10-20 buy in. Played a lot when I was in vegas, just low limit stuff at 2/4 and 3/6. Have been playing online a lot as well.
July 26, 200718 yr Yeah low limits at a casino are fun, it's more laid back. Once you get to 10/20 or 20/40 that's where the guys that are playing for a living are.
July 26, 200718 yr I'm actually going to Foxwoods on Monday One of my friends took Monday off, it's just under 3 hours away. I'll probably play some 2/4 for a couple of hours but mostly will be playing craps with my friend (he must have a lucky rabbits foot up his ass)
July 26, 200718 yr I'm actually going to Foxwoods on Monday No shit? Where are you from jpak? I'm fairly close to Foxwoods.
July 26, 200718 yr I've only played 2-3 times, but I always seem to clean up. Beginners luck I guess.
July 26, 200718 yr My secret weapon resides in my pants. It strikes lust into the heart of any woman alive, and jealousy into a man's heart.
July 26, 200718 yr No shit? Where are you from jpak? I'm fairly close to Foxwoods. New Hampshire, I used to live in the Hanover/Lebanon area but now I'm just outside Concord. Were you at the last Boston meet? Where in CT are you? I was in New Haven for 5 weeks last year rotating at Yale New Haven Hospital.
July 26, 200718 yr Nope I wasn't at the meet. I'm from Connecticut, Foxwoods is about a half hour from me, though I don't go there.
July 26, 200718 yr Ah yes, Sunday the 26th. I remember seeing that. I can't as classes start the 27th, and I work right up until the 24th. I'll be moving into my apartment then. We (nate, jpak, and I, and others) should have a mini meet in your neck of the woods.
July 26, 200718 yr Right now it looks like I'm leaving New England before the Boston meet :/ I can attend a mini meet before that, I'm free every weekend except the first weekend in August.
July 26, 200718 yr Leaving you cannot. NE will forever be in your heart. Except for our winters. I believe im good for the second weekend of August.
July 26, 200718 yr I love it here, unfortunately I also love warm weather Plus it's hard to turn down an incredibly good job offer, plus live close to my girlfriend's parents who have already started to help me look for an apartment.
July 26, 200718 yr Oh I understand. As it looks now, I might be moving to NYC next year, which I have mixed feelings about. where are you moving to?
July 26, 200718 yr Dallas Ah yeah I was in NYC last year as well, roughly 5 weeks. I think it's a fun place to visit, I'd go crazy if I lived there.
July 26, 200718 yr If I were single I'd be living in nyc. No doubt in my mind. So much money to be made during the day, and so much fun to be had at night.
July 26, 200718 yr But I'm not single. Well I guess technically cause I'm not married, but I've been with my g/f for 6 years. And yes, a lot of money to be made. too bad I have to spend so much of it to GET HERE! The commute is killing me. I'm actually pretty excited to move here just for that reason.

If you've been together for 6 years and aren't married, what are you waiting for? Shit or get off the pot.
July 26, 200718 yr We are still too young, lol. I'll be proposing next year, likely. We started dating when she was 16 (I was 17). We are waiting to get our schooling complete (well for the most part, I'll still be in school for a while, but part-time while I work).
