I was thinking that if there was a general discussion forum on Thepurists that poker would be a topic. Ever since 2003 poker has exploded and ever since then I have been playing. I didn't start from seeing it on TV it was one of my friends that called me a said come over and play poker. At the time I only knew some basic knowledge of the game. Now and so far not such a good thing I know how to play almost all the various poker games. Of course the most popular being NO-limit holdem because of TV coverage and it's easy to learn the basics of what beats what but there is much more to it. The Internet actually is the biggest factor for the popularity becoming so great anyone anywhere in the world not having to even be 21 to play (since if I'm not wrong gambling in casinos is 21 because of drinking) can get on a computer and download some software and play any game and almost any stakes from play money to tables where blinds are 300/600 dollars more than average people make in a week. Well, I can go on forever on this subject just like watches because If something interests me I seem to try and learn as much as possible and keep on learning new things. I'll just say yes I play poker and actually not old enough to play in AC so I go to TurningStone which is up state, when they have tournaments. So thanks CL for asking and hope you do great at the tables.
About the stricter rule on attire I sorta disagree with everyone wearing what they want it shows something about that person like you said that in the game you play some are wearing AP on their wrist and most likely a dress shirt. Of course I know that sometimes how someone dresses has nothing to do with how much money they have.
lol anyway I should be sleeping.
Best regards,
