We’ll the place i played at a few times in Albany just got robbed, by armed black guys… and is clearly shut down. The only other local game i know of is on Everett… and they play for to much money. This got me to thinking… if enough people on here played poker, we should do a poker night at my house, or something. And/Or someone might have their own game going on i didnt know about. Looking for somewhere to play i guess. I play Sunday nights for $20 tournament… but it would be nice to have a few other games going on i could make time/pick and choose from. Mostly looking for $100 cash games, or sit&go tournaments… i’m addicted, what do ya want. ---

> [@Hooked on SXY TIME](#): > > or just dont make assumptions that are uncalled for that ultimately make you look like the retard If you don’t state the facts, you’re going to hear assumptions. Either way, it tells me you’re not that great of a player if you can’t play a shitty hand to your advantage through bluffing and such. I wouldn’t mind playing you sometime to see how you actually do play in person. Swifty knows how I play, as he’s been to my house where there was easily $400 on the table in a cash game, and him and I walking away with a majority of it. -Cossey @ Justin’s place. ---

Hence why I do not play tournament style poker. It’s a long wait and I’m too impatient for it. Cash games only for me. How we play is $20 buy in minimum. $1 each chip, $1 blinds. If you wanna play sometime, you’re more than welcome to. As is anyone here. ---

i havent played for a lil bit but id be down for a friendly game… i MUCH prefer tournament style games, but a good cash game with a $100 buy in… 2$/4$ blinds is do-able as well. tournament with a $50 buy in… 8 people. works for me… winner takes 65% 2/3 split the other 35% ---

How we play is $20 buy in minimum. $1 each chip, $1 blinds. If you wanna play sometime, you’re more than welcome to. As is anyone here. so you get 20 big blinds…thats retarted. thats typical all in low limit casino poker. tourny style is defintily not long wait. to play cash well you need to be very patient due to the non rising blinds.
