Anyone else Just Like a Game Of Cards?

[kompressaur]

Who who reads the Daily Punt enjoys playing other poker games? I did decide to 'investigate' poker a year or so ago and soon found myself hooked. Not only on the Texas holdem No Limit game but on others too. I just like a game of cards never mind all this betting nonsense.

Omaha was my first love and after doing well initially with no thought, strategy or idea i seemed to do ok. Pot limit saved me a bit as i grasped with its basic concepts and never lost too much. 7 card stud was the poker i knew when poker wasnt popular. 3 card brag was more our thing and even then it was nothing on the computer games that werre coming about. razz ive been loving and i hope to fathom myself into a fine HORSE man (oooer)

does anyone else share my joy in all the games? Be good to get a Horse league going. for those that just like the game of cards and poker and its variants.

No one answered ..holdem rules it seems.

I'm with you though, getting sick of holdem and playing some HORSE sngs at FT..the cheapest ones. I find I concentrate more when the game is changing every five minutes. A good way to learn the rules is at stars or FT in the play money sngs. When you find youself consistently 1st or 2nd in these you can move up.

As you know Komp, we used to play a lot of, 'yahoo hearts' and that was my first real taste of the online cards world. And live chat. And private messaging.

It was also when I realised I was going to have to adapt my, 'online persona' to survive in this terrible online environment filled with foul mouthed, teenage, reprobates...

*MickeyPaul - you have a new private message from DarkChocolateKnight*
"Ooooh... wassat?" *CLICK*
"YOU FUCKING DUMBASS!! WHY DID YOU PASS ME THE BITCH YOU FUCKING COCK!!! I WASNT IN THE LEAD. FUCKING DUMBASS COCK! I HOPE YOU FUCKING DIE YOU DUMBASS."
*CLICK*
"Wa....wassat???"

But I fought back. I absorbed their personalities and spat them out, amplified. More foul. More offensive. More stupid. Overall, just more annoying. My training was complete. How I laugh now at the poker table when someone cries, 'LUCKY BINGO FISH BOY!'. Ah-hahahaha. Aaah-hahahahahaha. I sense a banning a coming.

All part of the fun of playing card games which rely entirely on luck, such as Texas holdem.

Ive a confession folks and thans for the reply mike, I won my first texas holdem LIIMIT tournie the other night. Man whats a man to do in the first huour of a limit tournie? ;lol fcuk ive neve rbeen so bored. I wanted to go all in and lose everything and get it over with but i couldnt. it wasnt physically possible. Lucky for me i had a man on the left of me that thought worse of limit than me and he raised like a good un. I played tight although i think being a fish i acceptable in limit holdem. i just let him raise and i woul reraise when i had something worth chasing. you cant throw no cnut off your top pair on the flop and they just call waiting for high cards. if they dont come then your on easy street.. Playing tight suits limit i think and better than that when the blind get up to about a 10th your stack etc it ends up like a razz game where its just push push push and you can bluff like a good un.

i will do a guide to all the games as i do tend to play all the games. Omaha players are starting to annoy me as they think theyre better than us all. im a razz man i must admit. i love my 7 card stud too

3rd street s for calling
4th street is for raising
5th street os for folding
6yth street isd for calling

or something like like that. im so tight at 7 card stud im lucky to play a hand an hour.

Mick if we could play Hearets for cash i would be all over it and taking all your bucks no doubt. Poker games are good but im a whist man at heart

The lack of money in hearts was the killer for me in the end as all I'd do is try to shoot the moon to get some kind of buzz from the game. I managed 2 in a row a few times but always wanted that special 3 in a row moment. Jack diamonds version too. Hard as fuck really. Trying to shoot the moon was when I realised the importance of the 'chat' feature too. "Och, I've blown it. Was trying to shoot the moon." Then someone would relax and throw the ace of hearts or the 'bitch' at me. Awesome.
