Interesting. That makes at least three of us, who are winning players that enjoy poker (I don't think I am putting words in your mouths), and we are all glad it wasn't as easy to find a game when we were in school as it is today.

Very interesting.

For me, I would've been successful, but I would've been a hobit. Sooo much inbetween time that I would've had no life. And if you lived in a fraternity...... FORGET ABOUT IT.

I could imagine home games popping off every fucking night, seriously.

Just glad I lived out my college days in the "old days." (That fucking hurt to say that.)

LOL. The "old days", when I was in college, there were no computers smaller than a big room. We also had a war going on, but in those days, the Man could force you to choose between the war and prison. In the biggest gambling win of my young life, I got 307/366 in the draft lottery.

Of course, on the good side, there was no such thing as AIDS and a "feminist" was a girl who thought sleeping around was liberated. Liquor store owners looked the other way when you asked someone old enough to buy booze for you, and most bars near the campus never asked for IDs.

I did my share of gambling, being just a short subway ride from a racetrack.

You are my hero. Tell us more about the loose women!

I sure wish I had "Tom's" screenname.

I'd say it was a hell of a lot more fun being 25 in 1976 than it has been since the late 80's.

I'd say you didn't know where to go

Kurn · #10 05-27-05, 02:42 PM

If you know where to go where you don't have to worry about AIDS, please share.

Other than that, Barcelona seems a good place.

I believe that part of the reason I'm currently a winning player is due to my maturity level and life experiences with managing money - none of which I had in college.
