I was into poker a bit a year ago. I drifted away from in and into chess, but just a few days ago made another deposit into my online card room of choice. Anyone else play socially or online? I do hear of chess players often going to poker.

Yes, quite a few of the top players in Michigan have quit professional chess completely! :'(

They have taken up backgammon and poker!

A side note: They are doing VERY GOOD at it!!! Yeah! Making lotsa MONEY!!!! $$$$$

Which is something you can't do as a professional chess player in the U.S. 😠

Get ESPN or the Travel Channel to televise chess, and we'll be golden

I play poker socially. But I prefer to play 'fun' poker over serious 'I'm gonna rob you blind, stranger' poker. Me and my buddies play dealer's choice with lots of stud games and wild cards. It makes for huge pots, good times and unpredictable games. I like playing No Limit Texas Hold 'Em but I can't stand how people who watch that crap on TV like to spout off all the jargon and play as fast and as factory-like as possible. It's no fun, in my eyes. It's like drinking a bottle of wine as fast as possible so that you get wasted. There's no enjoyment in that.

I have played at partypoker.com but now play at pokerroom.com because you don't have to download the program that screws up your Explorer. I don't use real money yet, though as I haven't played for long, but my play money is increasing!

Every time I even TRY to poker I get slapped in the face.
