Hello friend! Welcome back. Pull up a chair and get cozy. We are a friendly group. We are also quite the enthusiasts of the pokers so we got that going for us.
What type of poker games do you fancy?
NL hold em
5 card draw
Omaha
Open face Chinese?
Do you mostly play cash games or of the tournament variety? Live or any online sites?

Well, thank you for your kind remarks.
I mostly fancy the infamous Texas Hold'em variant since I heard dat's what many of 'dem kids be playin'. I have dabbled in Omaha when I've gotten sick and tired of never connecting with the flop in Texas Hold'em. And finally I do have a great desire to learn and play 5 card draw since it's just got that classic vibe and I've seen the movie Maverick.
My only cash game play is when I infrequently visit the casino. I have recently hosted a couple cheap buy-in tournament games at my place. I mostly play "free" games with friends and family at family functions, including playing with my 5-10 year old cousins. My philosophy is "any poker action is good action." I enjoy the game for what it is so I often prefer to not involve money. (Being relatively broke also encourages this thought process.)
Thank you for your great questions, I appreciate your thoughtfulness.
What about you, are you an experienced player?
EDIT: Guess I missed one question. I have dabbled with online poker but I think I need to feel the chips, check my cards, and read my opponent's poker face for me to feel I've experienced "real poker."
(And I've never heard of the Open face Chinese variant!)

Hey everybody, Hope you don't mind me posting again, can't believe I'm still the last post in this forum! Just thought I'd check in again, haven't visited the site since that last post four months ago. Still haven't played much poker unfortunately, but I did stumble upon the WSOP Main Event coverage on TSN this afternoon which was a very welcome sight. It was the episode where Johnny Chan got knocked out. I am aware that they have it down to a November Nine, and I hope to watch the 4 or so episodes that have already been posted to YouTube.
I posted something in the thread titled "Holz" that I wouldn't mind your thoughts on, check it out if you get a chance...
Thanks.
