home poker

I played in a home game for the first time this weekend. A guy at work had a game with some of his friends and he was light a couple of players. Somehow he heard that I play so he invited me.

It turned out pretty well. It was a tournament a $10 SNG with rebuys. There were 7 of us. I managed to take it down without having to rebuy. I made $70 profit woo hoo! The play was about what I expected at a home game, less tough than $1/$2 NL at the local casino.

I tried to be friendly my first time out [well except winning it of course lol] and I let a lot of stuff go i.e. string bets, people talking about the hand in progress, people checking cell phones for messages while in a hand, people talking and inattentive that it was their turn. I'm not sure if I'll be invited back oh well, maybe as a spare player if the host doesn't have enough regs.

I had a good time. If I play again in this home game I will insist we play with my Kem cards. The host had common cards and after I've been using the nice casino quality Kem cards you'll never want go back to ordinary playing cards.

PokerStars WBCOOP Blogger Freeroll

All right another blogger freeroll. As usual I'll endeavour to play. I haven't played online much of late and also cut back on live slightly. I've been trying to work on some other projects and get them moved along then I'll be able to play more again.
