Should I go downtown to play a small poker tournament today?

[MonkeyFunk]

It's a crappy little hold'em tournament, and I'd have to put on pants.

[IndianaJones]

1. where? I'll go. nt

[flvegan]

2. Tournament of small pokers?

What an odd gathering.

[MonkeyFunk]

3. You should see the jousting event!

[flvegan]

!

:rofl:

[terrya]

4. If it's something you like to do....

and if you have the opportunity to do it, then you should. And you'll have to put on pants sooner or later, mister.

5. Is it legal??

A guy from my town was in NY at an illegal craps/poker game...

The game got robbed and the guy got killed.....
shot..

be careful!!!


lost

[MonkeyFunk]

6. Yes

it's perfectly legal.

[AllegroRondo]

7. Why bother with pants?

just go!

[MonkeyFunk]

8. No can do

I have a "tell" without pants.

[AllegroRondo]

19. but is it visible from across the table?

[DarkTirade]

9. Two questions:

First, define 'small'. Does it cost any money, how many people are usually there, ect.
Second, what kind of poker?

*edit* Nevermind, you already said what kind. :P

*edit* New second question: If you put the pants on your head instead of your legs, do you think it will help keep people from reading your tells?

[MonkeyFunk]

10. It's a $40 buy-in

usually 27 people.

and if I put my pants on my head, I wouldn't be able to see my cards!

[DarkTirade]

11. That's what the zipper is for. Duh.

I wouldn't, but I'm a cheap bastard. I don't usually do anything more expensive than a 5 dollar tournament. :)

Of course, I ain't a bad player, so maybe if I started playing the more expensive tournaments I'd end up being able to afford the more expensive tournaments... hmmm. Kinda a catch-22.

12. Yes Poker rules

Regular Poker

5 or 7 card stud

None of those games with the wild card

[GreenPartyVoter]

13. Or you could just burn yer money?

:shrug:

:hide:

[MonkeyFunk]

14. Why do you say that?

Poker is a game of skill. Good players win, bad players lose. I'm pretty good.

It's not like playing roulette or slot machines, where you are guaranteed to lose over time.

Poker and sports betting are the only forms of gambling that have professional players. Good players win.

[GreenPartyVoter]

15. Well, if you're good go ahead and clean up then. :^)

[MonkeyFunk]

16. hehe

that's my plan.

Gotta run, though! I'll report back later.

[GreenPartyVoter]

20. Good luck!

[DarkTirade]

17. Some forms of poker take more skill than others...

but Texas Hold'em depends more on skill than most others. :)

[CGowen]

18. Just read a bit Supersystem 2 by Doyle Brunson yesterday, interesting how it all started.

I never played a real-world tournament.

[xchrom]

21. i'll stake you for a small percentage of your winnings. nt

[trof]

22. As long as you know when to fold 'em, know when to hold 'em.

Know when to walk away
And know when to run
