What type of poker are you playing?

And why the hell are you getting involved in Poker Tournaments if you don't know how to play?

aaronleo · 03-03-2007, 01:01 PM

the answer ' i dont know ' applies to both of those questions

Is it strip poker?!

...

Aaron, uh, how much did you bet and how long do you have to become Pokermaster?

Texas Hold'em? 5 card stud? I know Texas Hold'em (I'm still waiting on a mini 360 tourny/forum members to start)

If the customs in the UK are the same as the US, you'll probably be playing Hold 'Em. Not too many kids my age have stud tournaments.

That should help, even though if I were you, I'd get the hell out of that tournament if the buy-in is more than $5. Because barring an act of God, you're going to lose.

...so I guess that's the five dollars that's going to bring down your bid for a 360?

(or 5 pounds... which is only, like, $10 either way)

I keep trying, but none of the people I play poker with want to play it

Poker is a super fun game, but finding people with the money to play is the key. I learned Texas Hold em a few years ago. Its got a lot of luck that goes along with it so not too sure how much i endorse playing it for money. $5 is what your playing with? Just learn it on your own.......
