    Do you hit the casino alone or with others?

    I did the casino alone yesterday, but not for long. Was there for a deep tissue massage. After, scoped out the table games, but, alas, nothing was interesting. All the blackjack tables were full, only one poker table open, and roulette was closed. Ended up nursing a couple G&Ts at one the...

    Do you play sports betting?

    I haven't done the sports betting thing, but I wouldn't mind giving it a whirl. I know some guys really clean up doing so and there ain't anything wrong with that.

    Hey!

    Just thought I'd say hey to you fine folks as I signed up today. I'm no good at this type of intros, but just an ol' gambler that likes poker and a casino games, good times, with good friends. The pandemic years put a major crimp in my style, in a manner of speaking, but back at it. Hoping to...

    Games you enjoy though the odds are bad?

    Curious if others have some favorites. For me? It is roulette. The odds are pretty bad, particularly on American, rather than European, wheels. But it can be a nice, slow paced way to play, and hang out with my wife. We both enjoy a cocktail, place our bets, and talk. If we win, è...

    How do you reset your mind after a bad beat or big loss?

    It is actually a real good question. When I was younger, it hit me a lot harder than now. Now, well, just figure it is part of life. And nothing wrong with taking a break and enjoying something else. Don't get me wrong; no one in their right mind likes loses. I sure as heck don't. But got...

    professional wrestling

    I hear ya. It can be a brutal sport. But I do enjoy watching the sweet science in action. I boxed amateur when I was a young man. Haha, maybe I had some good sense punched out of me?

    Gambling on bingo

    Me personally, no. Not knocking it, just not my bag. My wife likes to play sometimes. The casino near us has weekly games on a floor above the main gaming floor. Her and some of her lady friends have done it at times, though not recently. Too each their own, naturally.

    professional wrestling

    Naw. Not even sure I even watched a single episode, or match, or whatever they call it. The only sport I've watched religiously is boxing. But to each their own. :)

    Is high IQ needed to succeed in poker?

    I don't know that you really do. As mentioned, you just got to be the best at the table. And, well, there's no getting around luck. That said, can't hurt to have some brains too. With a game like blackjack, however, it pays to have a good memory and know how to crunch numbers fast in your...

    Did you have a poker mentor?

    I never did formally, but I learned the game from my older brothers, the eldest the most so. (I came from a big family with six kids, me being number three.) My older brother, he taught me a lot of things, including getting started in poker. Ever since he got back from the war he hasn't been...

    Have you considered quitting your job to play poker full time?

    Me personally? Naw. Sure, like a lot of guys, I've had day dreams about being a professional gambler. But I've got a good paying, steady, if somewhat boring, day job that I can't see giving up. Particularly so since I'm not all that far away from retirement years. I look at poker, and other...

    Do you hit the casino alone or with others?

    Live gaming can be a lot of fun. Depending on the folks involved, the vibe can really add to the experience. Ditto some of the other accommodations at a good casino resort (e.g., dining, spa, etc.). Anyway, best wishes to you and your special lady. :)

    Do you buy scratchoff tickets?

    Oh, it was many years ago, so I don't recall. But it wasn't much; little more than money one would live for a tip.

    Have you ever cheated in playing poker?

    Nope. Can honestly stay in all these decades, never cheated at a game of poker. Ever.

    How do you feel about players talking trash while playing poker?

    It doesn't really throw me off, but unless it is good natured kibitzing, I find it pretty crude. Keep it classy or at least friendly, otherwise you might look like a maccabeo.

    Do you hit the casino alone or with others?

    I generally play at the local casino with my wife. We like different games, so not always together, though often so. It is nice to get out, have dinner together, a few drinks, and hit the gaming floor. More and more I don't play alone, though I used to play the tables by myself at times when...

    Have you ever been drunk in your life?

    Many times in the past. I don't any more though and only have a drink on occasion now. Much more health conscience now, getting older, etc. But back in the day, indeed.

    It has been a very long time since I have.

    Do you play slots when you go to the casino?

    Very rarely. The odds just suck and I find them kind of boring, to be honest. That said, when killing some time or winding up the evening, hitting the slots doesn't hurt.
