Have you ever played poker?

Sure, mostly 5 card draw poker. Some Texas Holdem. But I have a real problem with gambling. Blackjack, Craps, Slots, whatever. I understand the math and the odds and the casino payout ratios. And I get bored really easily. I'm bored out of my mind with gambling in 15 minutes. It's like watching golf or watching paint dry. Gambling is for people who are bad at math.

Yes but mostly online


Though I did learn it at a physical table


I love poker in theory


Pros at it make a living off of it


But it’s also an easy trap to losing a lot of money


So I do try not to play competitively


still I wish i had the time and means to perfect it

[thegreenyogi]

Are the online games in which you've won more then the games in which you've lost, if you have lost?

[Zack-Bann]

I’ve only ever played for pennies honestly

Never put a month’s salary on a game yet

I won more than I lose but it’s easy when there’s no stress

I don’t know how well I would do at a real high stakes game

[thegreenyogi]

Interesting!!

I play poker quite regularly. I was just in a tournament this past weekend at a casino near my home. I took 4th out of 120. I also play quarter poker a couple times a month with some older gals my father used to hang out with. They still invite me over.

[HawkPerception]

Maybe once or twice. I don't remember how to play. Never been into card games. I find them boring. And I don't really like playing with money or gambling either.

[loveslongnails]

Yes. You just make up these questions so you can get points, right?

[thegreenyogi]

I wouldn't say so. I make up these questions because I enjoy reading the answers. I'm curious as to how people think and their experiences. It's fun for me.

[strateguy632]

I have but never for money. Referenced series: everyone love Raymond. episode: win lose or draw.

[nolabels]

I've joined a few poker games.
I never developed any interest for it.
Probably because I'm not a gambler by nature.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Yes, strip poker was usually the game of choice. ;)

[36FS45]

Strip Poker

Was never very good at it though

So, you can guess how that turned out lol

[Cidknee]

Yes, quite a lot as a kid. Nickels and dimes mostly. I have had some good play with stud and 5 card draw but Texas hold'em is one i can't win at.

[Xawyx-2]

Not really, I played some other card games.

[msc545]

I've played poker a few times, but I found it really boring.

[NoDecision]

Yes. Have won a few and lost a few.

[Spencer10]

Played a fair bit of Poker

[Shiprex]

Yes but not seriously.

[curiousandhonest]

When I'm with a partner, I poke her!

[RedInnocent69]

Yeah. Not well

[Twalli]

Yes, and I am passable at it.

[jazzy34]

Nah. Not my thing.

[AgentG111]

Yes.

[seeyounexttuesday]

[dragoblack]

Yeah, it's fun.
