Sam 45 Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Ok so a few weeks ago i had my friends round for a game of texas hold em poker. Hardly any of them had played before but we played and now they are the biggest addicts iv ever seen.....its actually quite scary. So what things do you find addicting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tv tanned Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 i guess it is the buzz when I win that keeps me hooked, but i have actually lost lots of money on it, and been forced to walk home from town on more than one occasion because i put my bus fare in in the hope of winning the jackpot.i don't know why i'm saying this, maybe as a cautionary note...

Guest Ancient Mariner Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 I think posting inaneities on this site is somewhat of a problem for me. There is a conspicuous lack of a buzz tho.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Scorge Spike Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 I play Texas Hold 'Em on the net at least five nights a week until silly 'o clock in the morning. I still prefer to play it in a live environment though, because you can actually try and read the opposition better..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tv tanned Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Gamblers annoymous maybe?Believe me I've pondered it, but I think I'm getting it under control, I throw a cpuple of quid in if I am in the pub, and then walk away. Where before I was putting shitloads in, getting change at the bar etc...The fact they added the ability to take notes to the machines made matters worse, you just put the tenner in, and then you're away...-edit- and it's not really that anonymous now, is it? -/edit- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sludge Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 yip - notes are even worse. watching someone else pick up the win after you just makes you want to play even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm being serious here, one of my friends won 17,200 on a national prize game, bought himself a new car, paid all his debts and then threw one of the biggest piss-ups I've ever been to with the funds left (about two grand). I won 1400 once, but I had to pay off two sodding loans and only had a pittance left. I think I should renew my membership, and try a weekly session, there's nothing better than overhearing old women cuss when you pick up some winnings....
