Anyone for Coffee? (no boys allowed)

[Pendragon]

Pen: If ever we play a straight game, consider yourself dealt in. Do you prefer 5 Card, Hold 'Em, or something else? And you'll have to try hard to beat me- it's been a while since someone got me in poker too. I just like to play, but everyone seems to forget that I am not my haircolor...

Drame: Ignore Robin. I'll smack him when I get the chance. He really needs to learn what to say to me on a forum...

grace86: Oh, I miss you! I miss you all! But yes, I was happy for the stick. I still have a six foot pole to use, too, if I happen to need it...

mir: ...maybe... ...

And Pen, I'd love it if you'd chaperone. It'd be just as much fun anyways...

My game is Texas Hold 'Em. I was always a bit of a comic, since I can keep a straight face while telling a crazy joke or outrageous lie, and I've played poker since I was about 15. I just quit gambling for money as a minister, playing just for fun. Robin might kick if I'd chaperone-- He's my kid brother, you know, he'd have to say "You ruin everything! Mind your own business!"

That's my core game, too, although I dabble alot. I teach anyone I can, usually with gummi bears or Skittles because they're too chicken that I'll take their money. My friends hate that they can never tell what I'm up to, and since I lay so few hands down, they can never tell what I might have! (I once struck even in one hand with a friend whom I owed money-- he never saw a straight flush coming! )
And Robin can kick all he wants- he gets to talk to me enough, and you'd be so much fun to have around!

Oh, i love poker. My grandpa taught me when i was 7 and every saturday night we would play for hours and hours using monopoly money. We also played Honeymoon Bridge and Rummy. Ah...good times...

i like poker too. i've only ever played once - had a Halloween party, with a couple friends; we ended up all sitting around the table after my parents had gone to bed, playing poker with Reeses cups and candy corn! my older brother taught us to play. he won everything - it turned out he had an amazing poker face! didn't tell us that BEFOREHAND, of course.

I've never played strip poker, though . . . it does sound . . . INTERESTING . . .

A friend of mine and I were playing Hold 'Em - he had a 2-5, off-suit. Sonuvagun got a full house on the flop!!

Cheers, Pen, I'd be happy to have you around. In fact, the more the merrier. Somebody's got to stand watch whilst Caroline and I get acquainted...

Only kidding, Pen - I would never relegate you to the lookout position. You're far more fun to be around when we can talk to you.

Am I the only person who finds Texas holdem boring. I prefer seven card poker. But my friends and I play with wild cards. I also like criss cross poker.

[dramasnot6]

Seven card is my favorite. More strategy involved. 5 card is a bit too short for me and is only good with a good amount of players, where as 7 card is great with just 2.

[Misscaroline]

I do love to play, and I'll play any card game if you'll teach me-- it's something you pick up traveling as much as I seemed to as a kid. Cards pack easily. I agree that any form of poker is fun-- yes, Robin, even strip poker. ~digi-smacks Robin~ And Pen would never be the Sentry. He's too much fun, and I could use some competition. If it was strip, you'd lose on purpose, and where's the fun in that?

[Pendragon]

Well, I think wild cards make it too easy to get a good hand. Like Robin was saying, you take a 2-5 off suit in Texas Hold 'Em, most people would toss that hand. But if you have a good poker face and dare to bet, you can convice someone to fold a King-Ace suited. And then you may flop that full house. And it is never over until the River Card.

[Laindessiel]

I don't know how poker goes about.

[Misscaroline]

Oh, Lain! I'd love to explain sometime!

In the meantime, yes it's luck and concealing what you have from the others. I tend to play the blonde who everyone thinks won't bluff it all. But I do. I'm as unpredictable in poker as in life, and that makes it all the more fun. I'll do anything for a good game and good opponents, though.
Hi Pen!Hi Lain!

[TEND]

I agree with Pen, Hold Em' I find to be the most exciting/frustrating. That's usually our game of choice over here, but darn, that river card really gets to you sometimes.

[Virgil]

As to the wild cards, I only play nickels, dimes, and quarters with friends for basically fun. No one is going to win or lose more than ten or twenty dollars. The wild cards are just to create more interest and keep people playing.
