Do you have an AIM account?

I play at

Maybe we can try and find out who is willing to play and then all just jump on the bandwagon of one poker website?

I hate Hold em and I suck at it. There are so many poker games that are way more fun, but ever since they started putting Hold em on TV thats all anyone wants to play.

I’m with PG on this; Hold ‘em might be the most fun to watch, but I think it’s the least fun to play.

I’ve never played poker online, I always felt the skill came from reading the other players’ mannerisms and ‘tells,’ but considering the difficulty in arranging games IRL, I’m willing to give this a shot, just point me in the proper direction.

One of the reasons I like watching people play poker IRL.

A poker gathering sounds cool. I don't have an AOL account due to some bad experiences in the past but I guess I can sign up for one if most of the players are going to be on there. I have a Yahoo! account and an MSN/hotmail account so I guess one more wouldn't kill me.

I used to dress my avatar as a Pirate with a dazzling Bling Eye patch on Second Life so they could only see one eye...and that eye was cold and unnerving. I still lost my money though.

Perhaps the really good poker players can read minds!

Perhaps the really good poker players can read minds!

Sometimes they almost can. Watch the movie Rounders and look for the scene where Matt Damon walks into a room, glances at the cards face up on the table (it’s a game of seven card stud), and tells the players what hands they have, what hands they are trying for and who is going to win, iirc.

I hope Wawizzle doesn’t mind if I try to clarify things – Here are the poker hands in descending order.

1. Straight flush
2. Four of a kind
3. Full house (also called a Full Boat)
4. Flush
5. Straight
6. Three of a kind (also called Trips)
7. Two pair
8. One pair
9. High card

When playing Hold ‘em, a good opening hand contains a face card, an ace or a pair. But you can bluff on anything.

That’s all I have time for now. I’ll be back for more.

Alright guys. I'm really busy tonight, but in the next couple of days I'm going to try and find an online poker game we can *hopefully* all subscribe to and play together.

If anybody else wants to help me on my search, feel free.
