I watch the World Poker tour on the Travel Channel religously - I even tape it. The other shows - especially the celebrity games - aren't nearly as good.
I love poker. Unfortunately I only get to play about once or twice a month. Always small stakes too.
Maybe we should have a hold 'em tournament down at 2x6's new beach mansion?

POKER-POKER-POKER-POKER.
we have a regular friday night game, and then we also try and get together on sunday afternoon to play.. but the sunday game will stop once football season gets here, and the friday game will move to saturday night so we can go to high school games. some of the guys have mentioned wanting to get a game going during the week(tue or wed), but i dont know how well that will go over with the wife.

we have a good bunch of guys that play every week. varies from 8-11, depending on who is in the doghouse or not. we are low stakes $10-$20 a hand. that way, it aint breaking you if you lose, and if you win, its enough to at least fill the truck up with gas. we are pretty aggressive at raising the blinds, so games are usually done within 3 hours. that way we can try and get 2 games in a night.

i have been trying to get on with different tables cause i am geting tired of playing with the same people every week. we all know each other too well, and we are not improving our game any. i played at a new table this past friday, and got heads up with a guy, and he drew a king on the river to beat my jacks. it would have been a $90 dollar pot, oh well, maybe next time.

BTW- i took some chimay to drink while i played.. i didnt want to risk breaking a glass, so i used a 16oz plastic solo cup.... yuck... it tasted awful. after that, i am convinced what you drink from makes a huge difference.

Damn. I wish I was playing in your game. The guys I play with call all kinds of crazy games when they deal. Not very serious about winning either.

Now, I may be wrong, but I believe this is a sign of the apocalypse.

How can they legally call this beer? USA needs its own Reinheitsgebot.

So now you can be hyper and drunk with a good memory. That's going to go over well... You'll be able to remember all the stupid crap you did when you got drunk and hyper!

I think this is just riding on the tails of "redbull and vodka" really. There've been beers around with coffee additions for quite a while, although I'm not sure what the caffeine levels would get up to in them. I was just talking at lunch today with a friend about making a coffee stout in the near future, and trying to somehow jack up the coffee addition to have some significant presence. I think that's still more like traditional beer though than... this, this thing you've linked....

They're calling it "Beer"?!?!?!

I mean, I understand Zima and those hard-liquor-labeled "malt beverages", but this ... thing ... just ... isn't right!

I think Wal-Mart should buy Anheuser-Busch so that all their operations would be moved to China and I could consolidate my antipathy.

I'll give you a dollar to drink one and report fully on your findings. But you have to drink the whole thing to get the cash.

Sure, but only if I can bring the abomination to your place so you can watch.
