Poker

I love poker. I became interested in the game only about one year ago. I happened to come across a game while channel surfing one day. The game was Texas Hold'em; I had never seen poker played that way before. I'm sure most people know how the game is played, but for those who don't you can go to this link for the rules:

I was instantly hooked. It was amazing to see how the professionals could so easily and boldly bluff each other out of pots with the worst hands. I did some research and found that Viejas, Sycuan, and Ocean's Eleven all have poker tournaments every morning. I like the Viejas tournaments because they are pretty cheap, only $14, so it's a good way to practice and try out new strategies. Plus they have $5 bounties, which means that you get $5 each time you knock someone out of the tournament. Everyone's goal is to make it to the final table because that's where you make money. I've made it to the final table three times so far and I can only hope that through more practice I can make many more final tables; and who knows, maybe one day I'll be playing against the top professionals on a televised tournament with a chance to win millions of dollars.
