I won about $500. Of fake money. It might have all been pretermitted child's though.

Good times.

I think I won about $800 total. It was closer to $1150, but then I came in second best on a few hands. Ouchie. It was great seeing all of you, and a lot of fun--hope we make it a regular thing. Props to ncs for setting it up and looking spectacular in her red dress.

If anyone reading this:

1) is in or around NYC or will be next week;
2) is interested in a hold 'em game; and
3) isn't too obsessed with their anonymity to meet in person;

then PM for details of a game next week.

Pursuant to last night's discussion at NCS's table, I've upgraded my avatar and title to something not quite as obscure.

Are ya'll happy now?

Tweek!

I am happier. Though I sometimes wonder - will I ever be truly happy? Will I find the fulfillment that I seek? Will my family and friends be there for me if and when I really need them?

Oh, wait, you were only asking about your avatar? That is much improved.

Listen, I know you're busy at work. I know that you're bogged down in this profession, and free time is scarce. I know that you probably have social relationships to maintain with the significant other, family and friends. I know that there isn't enough time in the day to get to the little things, like down time. I also know that you are a degenerate gambler, and moreover, would love to beat your fellow imaginary friends in a not-so-friendly round of Hold em. So who's in? Aren't you sick of seeing celebrities play bad poker on TV? Wouldn't you rather play bad poker yourself and get mocked by ncs or e/o, assuming e/o can pry the pc from the OM's hands?

So I repeat, who's in? Name your time.

Again, I am still sans [non-work] computer. So me (and my superior player alter ego) will not be around to take your fake money.

What the hell, Slave? Do I have to box up an old computer and send it to you? I can't believe that you don't have a computer at home, that's just crazy talk. I refuse to believe it. I will instead believe that you fear losing to old Flinty at the tables...I'm just unpredictable and shit (read: a bad player).

Oh well.

If someone will post or send me a list of what is good (in order of goodness) I'm in. I'm DSLed now.

high card
pair
two pair
three of a kind
straight
flush
full house
straight flush*
four of a kind*
royal flush (A,K, Q, J, 10 suited)

* actually I'm not clear at the moment on which of these beats the other. Suffice it to say you are unlikely to get either one. Though I did get a straight flush when I was playing with some friends on Saturday night. Very cool.

A straight flush beats four of a kind. A royal flush is just the highest straight flush, it is not in a separate category. In a game without wilds, like standard Hold em, a straight flush is the highest hand possible. I guess with a wild, five of a kind is the highest, but I'm not even sure about that. Slave? Str8?

And Fringey, your play money is mine, all mine.....mwhuhuhahaha.

It probably is. I haven't played poker since I was a kid. My dad taught me. He had some really nice poker chips -- that no doubt was a big part of the appeal. In any event, I had to have a cheat card then too. So, a flush is all the same suit but not in order, and a full house is a pair and three of a kind (e.g. 2-2-3-3-3), right?
