So, do any of you play?
Where do you play, how long have you been playing, have you ever won anything?
I've become addicted lately, watch it alot on tv and play online but I've not played for cash yet.

i haven't played for ages tbh. i used to play lots in my local boozer. played in a few casino tournaments but not managed to get to the final table yet. we used to play 3 times a week in the pub but some poker league dicks took over to make a few quid for themselves and brought a load of new players from other pubs. they only played for points and it was shit. basically drove all the regulars away. they have been fucked off now now by the land lord and are back to playing tournament rules. 5 quid buy in, winner takes the pot. i'm probably gonna end up playing again tbh.

I'm going to start with the free tournaments before I put in any cash in, atleast there's still a chance of winning something.

Started playing on FB then got bored of that, playing PKR now though (real money). Currency is USD though so depositing gives you a shit rate (1.4 at the minute).
Played a month or two now - joined a league at University that's on every Wednesday so always play at least once a week for real cash.

I hosted a poker night at my place last night. As Marc says, as soon as food arrived, the game slowed right down...and i got bored and started to bet stupid. Also, we had a rugby game on Sky Sports, so people wern't paying attention. Bag of shit tbh...and i went out first

Used to play everyday online for well over a year.
Never lost any money, but didnt make a huge deal.
Won a fair few $1k+ prizes, and also a ticket to a $1k+100 buy in tourny. Got knocked out about 5 hours in and won sod all 
Only played live in a casino twice, but came 2nd and 8th out of around 80 people. Final table was with a proper deal, which was a nice change, felt like a pro then!
Played weds night for first time in ages in a home game, and won which was good to see i still have it

Bet365 - Won 3 tourneys. Highest win was only $1380, so not mega money. Was over the moon at the time though.

Not played in a while, won a few poker nights at the pub, and online. Never played the big money though, most was about £100.

You can't play poker unless it is for money, it just isn't the same game! I have the odd game on poker stars, usually 180 player tournaments, don't generally win anything though, watch a bit on tv now and again too, since watching it more on tv i've tightened my game up but seem to do a lot worse!

Yeah, I'm not a fan of PKR.
The best I've done is a $600 and $400 tournament in consecutive nights. Little wins here and there, nothing to write home about.
But as someone said, you can't play on FB poker and the likes as it just isn't the same.

Yeah it's good for concentration, you can always tell that the people aren't on the ball when they're checking your cards constantly
