hehe, i just learned how to play like 2 weeks ago. yesterday my buddy called us up and BEGGED us to come over and play poker. he's the guy who taught me/us, the g/f and i. he's a real poker man, even got a poker table for xmas. actually he's just a real competitive guy, always has to be the best at everything. if he's not winning he's not having fun lol. anyways it was a $10 buy in winner takes all game, there were 5 of us playing so not a big pile of cash but fun regardless. within the first hour i totally killed him, knocked him out of the game. man was he upset, he had great hands, but i always had the kicker haha. it is a fun game, but i don't think i would play for serious money, not much of a gambler.
