Playing Poker

Topic: Recreation
I love poker. Especially Texas Hold Em'. Recently I got to sit down with my family in Michigan and play for the first time in real life. It was a blast! I played very well, but didn't win.

I was up there for a family funeral, which was very sad, but it was great connecting with my family.

Anyway, I had been watching the poker games on TV and understood the strategy. Love Bravo's celebrity Poker. I played tight early and aggresive later, it was a blast. I have an uncle who runs tournies up there. He's got the cards, tables, chips, everything.

Since getting back I have been playing at PartyPoker.net and it is a lot of fun. Not brave enough to try real money but I'm doing real well in play money (free) tournies. My name in the game is WestTXWild.

Here is the point. If your one of those jokers who goes all in on the first hand before the flop, your an idiot... win or lose your still an idiot. I saw pocket aces beaten by trip 2s and both of them still think going all in before a flop was the right play.
