Poker

Anyone here play Texas Hold'em? It's become an obsession for me. I make my summer living playing it.

And last night I caught the best hand in poker: a royal flush. I had the nut straight (10 to ace) until the river, where I caught the card I needed for the royal flush. I was all-in with only a few chips and ended with triple my money.

Anyone know the odds of one actually catching this hand?

Well, I was all-in without much money before the flop. People called cuz they wanted to eliminate me.

PS odds are: 1 in 649,740.00

Found this link in this weeks Barron's. I'll have to learn to play properly if this is what "they" are playing. The article is quite good.

Yeah, Brig. I think you'd really like Texas Hold Em.

It's a shame we're not all in the same place or we could have a poker night once a week. I didn't realize so many of you played Texas Hold Em.

I'm on http://www.pokerroom.com as Brigandine. This game looks like it could be a lot of fun.
