Texas hold'em

[Finder]

Anybody else play Texas Hold'em here? I don't really gamble, nor do I often play poker games. But I have found that I have become totally addicated to this game!!! I love it and what makes it even more fun is putting money on the games!!!

So yeah, just wanted to see who plays here.

I haven't played the game but my brother-in-law loves it. He spends hours playing Texas Hold'em, and he usually wins.

I'm alright but some how I either get a bad beat or I'll bet and I'll end up with a very strong hand and not expect somebody to beat me with an even stronger one.

This one time I was playing I had a full house... I would have bet my life on that hand... I LOST... I couldn't believe it the other person had a three of a kind stronger then my own. Another time I had a three of a kind in a very weak flop which I didn't put anybody else as having a decent hand and usually in texas hold'em ppl often win with pairs with a strong kicker. So I lost that tournie by betting all in and I lost to a full house because the guy had pocket king's, which the flop had a king and a pair. My three of a king was like three 8's and I had pocket 8's. Who wouldn't bet on that!!!

I play at partypoker. I did play with play money but people don't play properly with play money. So I did the freeroll tournies but thousands play them and the amount of luck in those are crazy, but it is better play since you have limited amount of chips and you might win money. But now adays I play 1-7dollar tounies with less then 600 players just so it's more on how you play and less on luck.

True about the play money tactics. It's hard to bluff when some people are all in every hand.

I have been playing more and more, but mostly more online, haven't jumped into the real money arena yet, but maybe soon

I'm going to be in a real tournie this weekend. My goal is to make the WSOP this year by either bank rolling it with my winnings our getting in with winning a sat. I'm hocked on poker but not gamblings, as I only spend 100 dollars a month on poker and if that as I often win more money then I lose, so I often pay nothing if not make profit.
