I play the game as often as possible. you can win a fortune but lose it ten times over if you dont watch what your doing

Yeah its a good game. My mom practically makes a living off it at the mo-wins a couple of times a week in the pubs. Its ok in the pubs with a 20-40 euro limit but be careful on the internet

Can't believe you're only discovering it now...

**anto1208** · 19/05/2006, 9:42 AM

best games to get involved in are the types where you throw in a tenner each and split up the chips that way you can only loose a tenner .

ive 2 mates that have started going into town for poker nights in the casino's they won the first night and have kept goign back havent heard of any other wins they go twice a week at 40 euro a pop .

gets very adictive

Yeah I'll only play tournment style games with a mate. Usually for €20 a head

Maybe discover was the wrong word, take an interest in it?.
Knowing what hands to fold when you get your first 2 cards seems to be vital.

great game to play both on the internet and otherwise.
A mate of mine wins about 100 a week on it between boylepoker and in competitons..its basically his main income source

**Dodge** · 19/05/2006, 12:16 PM

Oooh 100 a week. What a gambler! (Said in tha tguy from simpsons' style...)

I still haven't bothered looking into it. I can play Poker but only ever now and again so I'm not going to go outta my way to find another source of losing my money....

**superfrank** · 19/05/2006, 1:32 PM

I love the game. I am actually going to play it tonight out in Newtown.

It's class. Much better than normal poker. It requires skill unlike 5 card poker which is luck.
