So who's into Holdem, how often do you play, where/when etc...?

I started playing about a year ago. I play once a month at a mates a couple of doors down, and probably around once a month with friends in Napier as well.

Love the game to bits, love watching it on TV too.

I bought a pack of the Bicycle Vintage and a pack of the 'Poker Peeks' as well - what great cards to play with!

We normally start at 7.30pm, $10 buy in, 6 or 7 players and 3 more buy ins. Bring a dozen, and drink it all, plus a bit of whisky etc going round too!

Normally finish around 2am!

I keep a track of all my games at www.checkyourbets.com (free and quick to signup), and heres my quick summary....

Net Win/Loss $ 257.50	Current Streak $ -42.50	Real Hours Played 68.0
Gross Winnings $ 410.00	Best Streak $ 250.00	Hourly Rate $ 3.79
Gross Losses $ -152.50	Worst Streak $ -70.00	Standard Deviation $11.58

I am a fairly aggressive player, and have a couple of strategy books, and have just finished reading Kill Phil - a gift from my missus. Very good book, very good strategy too...
