Any poker players? (texas holdem)

[exhashsmoker]

Ive being playing 1-5 times a week for the last three years and play almost everyday online and I would consider myself quite a good player.

Rule of thumb: Dont play poker baked or drunk!

Well not if your playing for large amounts of money anyways! lol

I've played at a few different sites and with friends. To me, getting high before is like when I play basketball high. Half the time I have better concentration, and tear up the comp, but the other half of the time I'm zoned out...and realize I shouldn't play anymore, especially if a bit of loot is on the line.

Also, i believe if you make it obvious you're high to people that are sober, they will assume you will play more loosely. So, i would act loose and play solid agressive and change gears when necessary.

^^ exactly

i find that if you play REALLY really high, like to the point where who yr playin with doesnt even kno if they got a good hand, forgets that they won, or forgets to take the pot, thats when you really win lol

LOL "take the pot" i found that funny...

I play on partypoker,paddypower, and I recently joined Titan which is excellent for cash games (very loose players)

I play every friday, and we always get baked when we play. I found out that i make alot sloppier bets while stoned, then while sober, it takes some practice to train yourself what hands to play on when your stoned, its fun to sit there when your ahead, and throw out huge bets till everyone folds when your holding a bunch of low cards that dont add up to anything. They always get so pissed. and its an easy way to get money. What poker games does everyone here play? just the usual texas hold 'um or 5 card draw? what? sorry dont mean to be stealing the thread or anything.


one more thing, i hate dealing when im stoned, because i will fuck up somehow every now and then, just simple stuff like not asking to cut, or dealing the wrong amount of cards. but its a trip.

I like to play socially, small bets and stuff.

See, I'm always real good when I start off, then eventually I lose all my winnings! There's a couple real good poker players in our group.

We switch from Texas, to Omaha, to five-card. It's fun, couldn't do it for the big bucks tho! Not that good!
