Title: POKER
Post by: NHSparky on January 18, 2008, 06:26:24 PM
I know, it's not a sport, even if ESPN shows it.

Can't help it.  I need my fix every now and then, which comes out to about daily.

BTW--for those of you who DO watch the WSOP on ESPN, I've played against Sully Erna on a few occasions.  He's good, but not unbeatable, lemme tell ya...

What up, playa???

Damn, and if I didn't have to shovel the driveway out today I would have stayed in Seabrook and played tournament.

That's the only crappy thing about NH poker--the ONLY cash game allowed is $1-2 LIMIT, which means everybody calls every friggin hand, and when you have something, you can't protect it.

Gawd I hate donkey poker.

Indeed I have.  I work in Seabrook and the poker room is at the dog track.  Not a bad place.  When I first moved here, it was only open a couple of days a week, had a few tournaments now and then, but now it's open daily, has some good tournaments, and some good players.

It's not like Sully and I are bros hanging out or anything, but we did run a little back-and-forth smack against each other at the 5PM tournament (which, BTW, I did win that day).

I guess he's heading out west in a couple of weeks to do some WPT events like Commerce, Bike, and Bay 101.

Oh, and for those who can't picture him...

Surprisingly enough, dude knows my name and what I drink there (Bud Light).

Then again, most of the regulars do.

I used to watch but not much anymore. I'm playing online as we speak but unfortunately can't do it for cash anymore.
