Poker

Anyone here play Texas Hold'em? It's become an obsession for me. I make my summer living playing it.

And last night I caught the best hand in poker: a royal flush. I had the nut straight (10 to ace) until the river, where I caught the card I needed for the royal flush. I was all-in with only a few chips and ended with triple my money.

Anyone know the odds of one actually catching this hand?

Well, I was all-in without much money before the flop. People called cuz they wanted to eliminate me.

Found this link in this weeks Barron's. I'll have to learn to play properly if this is what "they" are playing. The article is quite good.

Yeah, Brig. I think you'd really like Texas Hold Em.

It's a shame we're not all in the same place or we could have a poker night once a week. I didn't realize so many of you played Texas Hold Em.

I'm on http://www.pokerroom.com as Brigandine. This game looks like it could be a lot of fun.

[edit]What a genuinely great game.[/edit]
