Does anyone here play much?
I went through a phase of playing for small amounts with friends. Always had a tendency to win say, 12 pounds one night, and lose 15 the next, then win five, etc i.e. always broke about even.
I never really realised till I started playing, how its possible to have a whole evening of {bleep} hands. Sure, you can use situations like that to bluff, but even so, its hard to win with Sweet Fanny Adams in terms of hands...
BTW, we used to play 'dealer's choice' - which usually resulted in Draw Poker of Texas Hold 'em...
