well it was 1450.oo but that is not why i started this thread, i really just thought i would try to get a poker discussion going on ns. talk about hands, bad beats good wins and all the other intricacies of poker. i am sorry thast you dont believge me and that is your perogative but i am 27 years old, i amke close to six figures, and i play poker for large amounts of money, I hold tournaments at my house every thursday for 40 bucks pay top three, and i usually get around 20 people, when the tournament slims down we start a cash game 1-2 no limit with a 20 to 200 buy. that is where i cashed for 1450. but i was just hyped about it so get off my nuts for the year i am probably about even. that is the way my game goes i will lose a couple of hundred here and there then eventually hit a good night for a lot of money.

i play in AC about every other weekend i will be there this saturday, probably play the 7.50 15 at the trop it is my favorite limit.

not to mention that last night i took an awful,awful beat.

playing 1-2 i had pocket 4's and am under the gun. i raise to 7 total, 6th seat re-raises to 22, folds around button calls, and i call, 69 dollars in the pot for the flop 3 way action. flop comes 4s Ks Kh. i flop the boat, but ofcourse first to act i check it, 6th seat checks button bets out 25, i smooth call hopeing for mor action, 6th seat rasies all in for about 68 on top of the twenty five, to go all in, button calls , now i re raise all in for another 256 on top of the 68, and the button calls. 791 total in the pot( i am in for 371 of it) cards are shown i have fours full of kings, 6seat has a set of kings with a ten kicker, and the button has pocket Q's, i am so ggod i have to doged a king, a queen or a ten or any running pair, i am about 60% form here. turn is a blank, river the f--in case king i lose the main pot to quad kings, and the side pot to kings full of queens, ouch.

I've been playing for about a year now, and play both hold-em and five/seven card stud. I admit that i still have a lot to learn, but generally i am a profitable player at low limits. When i say low limits i mean micro - as a student i don't have much money at all to put up a bankroll, but i view my games at the moment as a learning experience for after my student life. I love the game, the tactics and skill involved, and don't consider it as gambling in the traditional sense. I play at in the local casino tournaments when i have money, the are £10 ($20) and £20 ($40) rebuys, although as i havn't played too many yet i have not made it into the money. I am actually having a breka from tournaments at the moment due to my bank account being waaaay into the red (not a result of poker, university is a more expensive pastime!). And D-loc, just because he posts in non-ski gabber does not mean he doesn't ski, and poker is not a waste of money as you say, it is a hobby, some even say a sport nowadays that can actually be a hell of a lot cheaper than other sports....for instance skiing.

Anyway, let me in on the cult, sounds good to discuss theories etc...

Hope good hands come your way!
