I am not a pokie man but I am a poker man!

Anyways There is not alot to talk about with my Cards stinking up the place and theNFl has not started yet so I will talk briefly about playing poker. Hey us old men have to have something to do. My bones hurt and I need to be competive so what sport do I do? The best answer is the sport that you have to sit down and play. I love playing NL hold'm because it is a thinking game and I do get competive when I play. Yes cards is all luck but in this game you have the element of a bluff. The guy next to you could have a 2,3 off suite and yoou would have a j,k and he would bluff you out of the pot unless you knew what you were doing. The best tatics I have found in playing poker is to be somewhat tight with your money but at the same time you have to paint a pitcher. You have to let everybody at the table know that you have some nutz or they will bully you around. My first thing I do is to see what type of player they are. If they are a fast player which bets alot you want to try to trap them in a slow play move. If the guy's are slow players you want to bully them around and pick up some blinds. Hey any money is a plus in this game so stealing blinds is good. Your chances are alot better when people get out anyway. You really would like to be playing one on one for the odds to be right. I know when i played in Atlantic City they bet big and they big alot. The second thing you need to do besides taking notes on each player is to bet good cards when you have good postion at the table. The best psotion at the table is dealer because he will see what everyone does before he gets to act. If you play smart most of the time unless you play a pro you have a good chance of winning. This will fill up some space on here and that is the big bird poker tip of the day. Hey I can not tell you everything I know. Golf dude if you read this look under the last two posts.
