| | | Poker... Something you guys may not know about me, I'm a semi-professional poker player. I make enough to pay rent/utilities/extra crap every month, so I guess it's a steady income.
So, does anyone else play? It would be nice if there were people here to talk about it with, etc...

| | | Damn. That's awesome. I'm a biiiiig time gambler, but definitely not of the caliber to make a living off it. I bite at poker, to be honest. Black Jack is my game followed by pool and the horse track. | |

| | | I play a bit of poker. My dad used to play pretty seriously so he talks about it a lot and likes to get a game together now and then. I'm not great at it but I'm above average.

| | | The only poker I've ever played is the strip kind. I won. But then, in strip poker, everybody wins.

Black Jack is my game followed by pool and the horse track. I'm a big pool player aswell. As for Black Jack... I've lost enough money on that game. What about darts? or snooker? | |

You need to be getting all your money in on the flop.

| | POKER IS AWESOME!!! Got to be one of greatest games ever invented!
Ok, so I'm not a professional or anything, but I've been playing Texas Hold'em for about 3 years now and I love it! Used to play all the time with my Uni housemates and now I play my bro several times a week for spare change. Its awesome!!! We've even got a professional style poker table to play on, with cup holders and everything! Neato or what! I'd love to join a poker club, would be an awesome way to make friends and money at the same time!  (or lose friends and money at the same time, but in this case I prefer to be an optimist  )
Also love the Pool and the Darts. All great fun!  Its just finding people to play with thats tricky.... Well when you’re in the hermit life-style like me. | |

| | | And why exactly are you a hermit, hmm? You've got a kickass personality. Go out there and rob people blind at the billiards hall. | | Loveforum Breaktime | | |  | Loveforum also recommend - Green tea - Help in weight loss and decrease rate of getting cancer.
