I am... played in a regular game all through law school (weekly), and played with a group of friends for a few years before that. I have also played a few tournaments at casinos. Love playing, and have missed it a great deal since I moved. So I guess I've been playing Hold'em and other poker games pretty regularly for about 5-6 years, but not much in the last year.

I have played online, but not for much money and I generally dislike playing online... it is a different game, and not nearly as entertaining.

I try not to play at the infamous Commerce Casino here in L.A. What a pain in the ass game poker is! Too many bad days that are just barely counterbalanced by the good days. Right now I'm on hiatus from poker. But I'm sure I'll be back at it at some time.

Commerce is pretty fun though. A lot of players and games going all the time. I see famous entertainers and famous poker players there all the time.

I've been playing in the $500-$1500 buy-in no limit game. I think I'm a little over my head at that limit. Both bankroll and experience wise. The good thing about playing at that limit is that you play against smart players. Its very rare to see a absolutely stupid suckout on those tables.

As far as online goes, I stay away. Have had a couple accounts at different sites, and its just a pain to withdraw money. I assume just stick to live cash games.

I play a lot with my mates, usually every friday and it will likely go on all night. I do belong to an online poker site and though it is good, it is nowhere near like playing with real people.

We play online a lot. I have a buddy that cashed out over 50K last year at Pokerstars. He had 2 or 3 20K hits! It is fun. I don't get in the tournaments he gets in though....too expensive for my blood. We have had no problems getting our money from them

Don't know if you drink, (not that it is mandatory) but there is 3 local poker companies in the charlotte area that host tournamets in bars. I have played in all 3 but Pub Poker Championship is my favorite. The other two are Local Circuit Events and World Tavern Poker. Google them, and they have their locations and date/times posted.

I turn 21 next week so I haven't ever been able to play live and have had to stick to Full Tilt online so I am looking forward to playing live because I have heard it's much easier and online poker has too many bad beats. There are a few leagues near here at local sports bars and although they can't give out cash prizes etc (illegal) it would still be good experience for when I play live for money eventually

    • Day 133 - Played 9 again. Driver was great, putting was better, but shots inside 100 were awful. 
    • Day 36: 15 balls, same as last few days. Then a little indoor putting.
    • hey guys, sorry about the kind of short notice, but i'm not going to be able to make it to the outing this year....  
    • Had to correct the distance - should have read 5,400 not 5,500  yds. 
    • Had to report this one - played Minnesott again today with my son.  We played behind the Friday Men's group and had a decently paced round.  My round started off par-par-bogie.  I was feeling good to be +1 through three.  Played the next two par - par and then disaster hits - well I thought it may be the unravelling of +1 through five.  Tee shot on six is a hard pull hook into the ditch separating four and six.  I know the ball is lost and re-tee - hitting three off the tee on this par five.  Long story short - what should have been at worst a bogie became a triple 8.  Now I'm +4 through six holes.  Get a solid par on seven (which I celebrated as a solid recovery hole).  Eight is a birdie and I'm back to three over.  Nine, a par 3 over water, finishes par for a 39 front.   We roll to the back to where I birdie ten (the toughest hole on the back) to be -1 after the first hole on the back, +2 for the round.  Par eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen and fifteen - that was an in the zone moment.  Have to note that fourteen - the second par 3 on the back - I hit the tee shot just short right of the flag.  Easy pitch with the 56 should put me close for a tap in par.  It does not happen - as I duff the pitch to about 3yds closer.  I reset and this time I nip it nicely only to see it land and slowly roll to the cup and drop in for a chip-in par save ( a first).   We get to sixteen and I am thinking this could be a really good round.  It's also a par 5 and I hit a solid tee shot.  I'm about 220 from the center of the green and figure I can layup with the 3w as there is a nice landing area in front of the green and it would play nicely into the typical distance I hit this club.  I'm sitting about 50 yds from the flag to the right hand side.  I overcook the 56 and see the ball bounce off the back of the turtle green.  I hit an easy 56 again to see the ball roll to the other side of the green.  Long story it became a 3putt double.  Now I am +4 through sixteen.  The last two holes are solid pars - one an up and down, the other a GIR two putt. Finished the back 1 over at 37.  Total score is a 76!  A new personal best.  Best "all around" play through the bag to date.
