icemanv6 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Poker, Who here plays it? What stakes/Levels do you play at or used to play at? Biggest tournament win / cash-game win? Any funny stories related as a consequence of Poker!? I used to play quite often especially last year but have taken a bit of a break recently. My biggest tournament win was 660pounds, and biggest cash-game win was 750pounds+ on one hand (Used to play a lot more cash games then tournaments ) Was playing 50p/1 pound and 1pound/2 pound blinds at cash games, and 25 pound buy-ins for tournament (when playing Live) Came in one night from going to dusktilldawn in Nottingham had 790 pounds in notes wrapped in an elastic band, left it in the kitchen forgot about it. Came down the next morning and my mum decided to have a ' serious discussion' with me about why there was near on 800 pounds wrapped in a elastic band and 1000+ under my bed, and asked me if I had became a drug dealer I was winding her up though saying does it matter where the money came from Post yours here!

Gaz6002 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I play. There are loads of us on here who do at varying levels. I used to run a weekly poker game on Pokerstars for mkivsupra.net but there wasn't a lot of interest. In terms of winnings, I do OK although I've also taken a bit of a break recently. I now only really play live games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathman Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I am just getting into Poker now, but only play once a month with friends, £20 buy in, winner takes all. Always makes for a fun evening with plenty of banter. Had my first win on Tuesday this week and walked away £100 better off:D I am really enjoying it, have made a few schoolboy errors, but now really beginning to understand when to bet and when to run for the hills! My local has started doing regular Monday night games, so may well go along and try my luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokerstars is the best real money game IMHO. Real is the better game though. Online is good for learning the mathematics of the game.

MarkR Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I play with mates for small buy ins, and sometimes online for a laugh, but only when I can find a game. Usually every 4-5 months. I like watching it on TV as it helps me fall asleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
