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 play online regularly on zynga poker"holdem".... we should get a group together from here and get a game going. Its free and fun so its great fun.

I play on Full Tilt Poker. Started with $0 and have worked up to $1265 currently.

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

I got into it a few years ago and got a bunch of mates playing. Now a few of them love it and play a few nights a week and play at the local casino and I can't stand it!

I play ALOT live and online. Been playing for about 4 years now and really enjoy it. It's a great way to supplement your income.
