Poker at the convenience of your home!!!

Yesterday Laurie, Ashley and me played a symbolic 3$ (5cents small blind , 10cents big )game at the crib...It was awesome experience especially cause i play mostly online, so i don't get much time to "perfect" my live play....Anyways since Laurie don't play much poker, but is very intelligent, she got that famous BEGINNERS luck.She was flopping straights(Q 10, flop came AKJ)...trips(77,flop was 927) etc. and had showed us how quickly she learns the game.
I got knocked out after 15min. , thinking Laurie doesn't know what she's doing, betting on every street, only to find out that she had MONSTER hand(i made a mistake not betting the flop..and she took a free card that improved her hand to trips(77 again, flop was 10 2 9, and i held 10 2 )...river was Q..and i was down to 50 cent..
Then two of them played for another 10-15 min..until Ashley woke up with a JJ raised 25 cents and got called...flop came rainbow...all small cards and Ashley kept firing and Laurie calling hoping to get lucky again...This time lady luck was NOT on her side.Turn and river were "blanks" for her and she lost 4$ on that hand.
Thas when we stoped cause it was really late(and 3$ were symbolic...not real play..just using it to have some form of chips), but will definitely play again..
Next time we will do tour online together...It will be interesting...
I will keep it updated here...

Home games RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i really had good time...

Poker quiz!!!!

TOPIC: Middle Position
QUESTION:You have the J-T. The player on your immediate right, in early position, limps in. What do you do?

ANSWER:Fold. Don't limp in with jack-ten offsuit from middle position when only one player has limped in ahead of you and there is still more than half the table yet to act. The likelihood of the pot getting raised with this many players behind you is too high to play a weak, speculative drawing hand like this. If you call and it gets raised, you will be obliged to call the raise, resulting in you having to pay two bets to take a flop. If your hand were suited, then you could play. If you were in a later position with more players limping in, then you might have a play.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008. EVERYBODY

It's the Most Players to Play at One Time on One Site, Ever

PokerStars hit a stunning milestone Sunday, Dec. 30, when 150,000 players logged onto the site to play poker. That's approximately 20,000 tables running at once (PokerStars runs hundreds of shorthanded games). There's nowhere near that number of tables at brick-and-mortar casinos in the entire United States.

The achievement took place during the $1,050 Sunday Million, when it was daylight in America and prime time in Europe. That tournament alone had 1,800 players. The $11 Sunday Hundred Grand reached its player-cap of 20,000.

PokerStars first hit the 100,000 mark in February of 2006. In May of the same year, it dealt its five-billionth hand, an achievement that took a little more than five years. A year later, the site celebrated its 10-billionth hand.

The site also saw more than 3,400 of its players earn more than 100,000 Frequent Players Points each, granting them Supernova status at the site. Nearly 40 players earned at least 1 million points in 2007, making them Supernova Elite players.
