That Inevitable downswing...

[Talking Poker]

He said "card room" which led me to believe it was a legit game. Then again, he posts when he makes trips to AC, so I'm guessing you're right. Our boy is playing underground Rounders style, isn't he?

I was playing in games here 2-4 times per week a year or so ago... Now, I don't play in them at all. Why?

1. They rake way, WAY too much.
2. It's easier for people to cheat. There were suspicions.
3. It's too slow. I can get in WAY more hand per hours online.
4. Risk: Cops, robbers, you name it.

The only pro, really, was that these were fun games to play in and great live action practice.... but there were just far too many cons for me to justify playing.
