Message: [QUOTE="sCATpoker, post: 3381009, member: 75067"] Back in 1984 think I was 16 or so. I had helped out this guy painting houses in the Seattle area where I grew up. Anyway to shorten the story he was from San Deigo and was moving back down there and asked if I wanted to move down there and keep painting houses. I wasn't doing anything special so i moved down to Southern California and started working, well sort of when we were not partying. He was from the area so he already had a network of freinds and so every Thursday night we would have a poker night. We played dealers choice which involved , well exactly that what ever game the dealer chose. Most common was 5 card draw and versions of stud with a whole lot of drinking and some other adult party favors tossed in...It was more of an excuse for us to get toghether and party than anything. We would all buy in for a set amount usually 20 dollars sometimes up to 100 or so and every chip represented a quarter with a cap bet of $1 per betting round. and would play until one person had all the money or it became a predetermined time to quit usually 5am if noone had won by than. was a big party every week. Had that home game for several years always fun. Won a few times but took awhile before that ever happend but looking back I would of paid what I lost just for the party alone was good times. Wish I had freinds like that now, perhaps a few less drinks and a lot less "other" stuff. but the game and companionship for sure. Although I had played holdem I didn't really play that consistently until It became popular online after moneymaker won the big won. Than got a lot less enthused after the US got screwed by black friday, I don't consider my game style more than just for "entertainment value" since than, Unless I am playing Live Cash than I take it very seriously cause the only reason is to make money. although if I see a cheap buy in while at the casino for a tourney I will give it a shot and have had mixed success but again i would call that "entertainment" rather than something I take serious. Hmmm miss those old home games back before numbers were insta calculating odds outs and percentages...was so much better just being ignorant and enjoying the moment...ahhhh "the good ole days" [/QUOTE]
