who likes to play card games, and if anyone does it more then fun? eg enter tournaments and stuff.

i like to play poker with my friends someitmes, we use chips as bets. I been to the star city casino once and really enjoyed the bacljack, the computer version and the real person table.

tell me if u like any cards games, and if u have any stories that happened to you at the casino or while playing a game.

after the formal after party - 4amish i think, memory is a tad hazy, we went to starcity that being the only thing that was open mid-week and close enough to walk to and there were still people gambling. One of these guys put a grand on 1 hand of black jack and lost . . . . Oh dear

i seen so many addcited when i went. I also heaps of high rollaz , my self well i lost $60 and was pissed of. well atleast i got my three free drinks

hahah yeh the star city card is the best thing - 3 free drinks per day.

almost makes it worthwhile going there just for that. then again the 3 drinks become pretty damn expensive if you lost money at the same time

Poker is mad, never done it profesionally, you know, with money and cards and all the jazz you don't really need.

When you play poker, you gotta play Texas Hold 'em.

Much betta than the random 'five card draw'.

fuck yeah, sometimes we play a few rounds of hold 'em with deuces wild, makes for an interesting few rounds

yeh thats the way to go , the advantage of that poker is that u can play with much more people, i played like like 15 people once.

WE're so getting some gambling going at UTS between/in classes.

 

[SashatheMan]

Someone teach me how to play poker !! I feel left out.

Until its BlackJack time

did u know that in casinos they use 4 decks for blackjack. and u can bet on other things in the game.

That's because it's casino policy NOT to put clocks in the casino because that way people don't know what time it is and so stay longer than they intend, gamble more and the house makes more money.

Nice theory mate but it's actually law that any gambling table/machine has a clearly visible clock (for exactly this reason, the RCG).

Poker is fundamentally very simple (as are the variants like lowball, 5/7 card draw, hold 'em). But knowing the rules and being able to win are two totally different things.

[2sense]

I don't know if anyone has heard of this game but i play a card called 13 or tienlen. Some asian card game.

I've only done the RCG which is for clubs/pubs that come under state regulations which MUST have clocks visible from almost anywhere on the gambling areas, im not 100% sure on whether this applies to the casino's which come under federal regulations but i'd assume it does . . .

maybe i'm not looking hard enough??
i'm 100% sure the pokies machines does not have a clock on the display
