SLTS 0 Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 lol I will always remember this, cus well...I ended up down for the night. Down a LOT. I was at the 4-8 tables. I had just taken down a huge(for my 4-8 limits at least) slightly larger then $200 pot. I was pretty happy with that since $200 normally takes a few hours and I had done it in one hand. I go to tell a friend who was playing roulette and he goes "You've won almost a night worth in one hand, come hang out over here"Just for the record, I play two casino games, craps and poker. Anything else I am known for losing large amounts of money. Now I am willing to say there are very few poker players who don't like other gambling games, I was up $250 in 45min of playing. I consider that REALLY good for 4-8. I went only to lose near 700 at the wheel. LOL. Haven't played since. Link to post Share on other sites
Smasharoo 0 Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Now I am willing to say there are very few poker players who don't like other gambling games,You're right, and I've never understood that.Why would you go play a game where you're guaranteed to lose longterm over a gmae you're guranteed to win longterm if you play against worse players?I've never played craps or roulette while at a casino playing poker. I have for short money while with freinds at a place with no poker room but it did nothing for me. Link to post Share on other sites

My reasoning at least for me, is that you really need to be into gambling in order to get into poker. For years I played poker and never thought of it as a skill game. Of course back then there was like 20 possible wilds (when "little ones" were in effect) and it just seemed like gambling. So for most of the players who have been playing for years it was just a different way of GAMBLING with your friends aside from sports betting with each other. Before poker was popular it was really hard to look at poker as a skill game from day one. There for you really needed to be a gambler to be interested. Of course after playing for a while one was bound to realize that certain strategies could help one win more then the others were. But to start you needed to have a gambling spirit, which causes some (including myself) to be tempted by an entire chance game and lose shit load of money lol Link to post Share on other sites

DanielNegreanu 141 Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 $300,000 on the nose. It was a three handed capped pot in a three handed game against Phil Ivey and Gus Hansen. The game was pot limit Omaha and I had A-K-K-7 doublesuited. The flop came Q-J-4 with two of my suit. Blank on the turn, diamond on the river. Ivey flopped Queens and Jacks, while Gus had a worse flush draw and a wrap straight draw... Link to post Share on other sites
wingsfan 0 Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Now that would be an interesting table to watch. Call me crazy, but would anyone else be interested in watching a ring game? I mean, I know there's no definite winner/loser that a tournament has, but still. You load a table up with some of the high stakes ring players and I'd be fascinated by their play. Of course, the players might not be very interested in televising their play..... ok, I'm rambling now. Link to post Share on other sites
