I remember a while back there was a poker game going. I was wondering if the game was still going. If it's not, does anyone out there want to start one up with me.

Are you talking about a real poker game or internet poker?

Internet poker, I remember awhile back there was a game going on at www.pokerroom.com. Its a pretty good site where you can set up private tables or private tournaments. I remember the old games people would put up a few decent cigars and then send them to the winner of the tournament, but cash is a little more immediate. The only reason cigars are good is because the winner gets to experience a bunch of different cigars.

I will have to check it out! Card games are my specialty! What kind of poker do they offer?

pokerroom has Texas hold'em, Omaha, 7 card stud, 5 card draw. they also have casino games. they have buy-in ring games and tournaments with both play money and real money to play with

Texas Hold'em and 5 card draw are my games... don't like games with jokers wild.

Liquor?

Probably BYOB

do you mean play for a bottle

or do you mean if you can drink, then yeah it is online

I would play against you guys for play money first... have to learn how my opponents play! Everyone has a different strategy!

playing for play money takes the fun out of, atleast most of the time

Maybe... but one has to get to know what the opponents strategy is before putting real money on the table!

One has to analyze before taking a monetary risk.

We cigar smokers spead a over $20 on a single cigar, yet some it is still difficult to put up 5 or 10 dollars for a night of poker.

sorry I mean spend

So if I win the poker games that means you guys will buy me cigars and booze for the next year?

well if I remember right last time every one put up a few cigars and the winner would get the cigars, so if this gets started up again it could be for cigars or money, I like money because some people last time didn't send good cigars, plus you have to pay shipping and all that crap thats involved

Well seems clarification as to the cigars involved in the ante should be confirmed prior to the game?

well since I don't have any crappy cigars in any of my humidors, I wouldn't give bad cigars. I am worried about people short changing me.

but if we played for cigars we would have to determine a quality level for the cigars.

I just thought of something, it this gets started and we play for cigars. We could have special games, like say around the holidays( i.e Christmas and New Years) where the pot would only include high end cigars and not just good ones.

That is only a suggestion
