Poker.
The Gentleman's Game.

From Wild Bill Hickock to The Poker Brat, real men (and ladies) love to play the cards.
I personally host a game every 2 weeks, which gets from 15-35 people.
Not huge pots, but generally a pretty fun game.

I've also been to a new casino (Snoqualmie) recently and plan to go back.
So how about you, SE++ers?
Do you poke?

    What do you usually play at your poker nights, Nevs?

    And do you just have a buy in where winner takes all or something?

    Man I've been wanting to make a poker thread for a while. Anywho...

    I play at a friends home game every couple weeks, sometimes I venture online.

    The home game we alternate between tournament and cash games. Pretty fun, generally just a full table, ~9-10 people, all friends. Couple of donks with big wallets to get more money on the table.

    I'm pretty average really, too lazy to try and properly learn all the math.

    I managed to get quad aces at the last home game, doubled up. Best hand I've ever had.

    I'm bad enough that when playing hold'em I tend to do better when not looking at my own cards.

    I expect my PM box to be full of invitations to cash games in the next 5 minutes.

    I like poker, but the whole thing espn has created is kind of shitty. Now you have these huge flocks of people with sunglasses, full tilt poker shirts, and don't know any other games than texas hold em.

    But in all actuality, I love poker. It is so much fun playing dealer decides what type of poker you are playing. I grew up playing with all of my dad's old cops friends, I learned a lot about poker from them.

    It doesn't matter if they know more than me. Other than the mathematical side of poker, the other half is a mix of observation and control. By having all that shit on they get to forgo control and limit the other players ability to observe.

    Unpopular opinion, but eh.

    One time I had a K-high straight flush that lost to a royal flush. Never going to forget that hand.
