    "Do you play poker?".......guy at bar asked me this yesterday
    Said, "a little"

    Invited me to a poker game at his house and said there will be around 7-10 people playing............told me it was just for small stakes, 40-100 buy-in NO LIMIT

    Will report back with results.........should be an easy couple hundred or more in profits for a few hours of play.

      real smart. go play poker at a strangers house. they will cheat somehow. probably sandbag you. if they don't just outright rob you at end of night. in every home poker game someone will cheat. it's human nature. it is so easy to cheat at poker. going light in the pot, sandbagging, signals between other players. deck stacking. so many ways so many suckers out there like you.

            Still
            seems strange
            I am sure rumors float around about how you make $
            They could be setting you up to break in to your house and look for money or a number of things
            not worth it just go to the Hard Rock if you want to play
            unless a friend knows these people i would proceed with extreme caution

              game is rigged or they think Fishhead is a sucker

              Either way I do not know if a good idea to go as you know nothing about them, even if you won you could have a problem leaving.

                nothing good comes from home games

                if you lose, then you're out money

                if you win, then they want you to play all fukking night because they're behind and chasing

                  LOL....you guys are funny.


                  I've known the guy for two years.


                  It's 40-100 buy-in..........LOL...........with no rake and no tippping(no dealer).


                  I've played in a couple of the biggst underground games in this city for 500 minimum buy-in playing NO LIMIT.......where pots are routinely above $2,000.

                    Be sure to take advantage of the situation and have fun. Go big because you won't be invited back after cleaning out their pockets. I'll be willing to wager 100 points that you do win. When is the game?

                    Any Michigan players want to get together and have a small stake game get a hold of me and if we get enough players we will do. I am just North of Detroit.

                          Misleading thread title....Made it seem as if just a random guy asked you to play poker.

                              He said he's known the guy for 2 years. So the title is pretty much " Do you play poker?"....an acquaintance asked me this yesterday


                              Nothing shady about that.

                                            Again, its a 40-100 buy-in game...........(Actually wasting my time by going, as I can make more money by staying home tonight hammerring offshore books, but I need a small vacation).

                                                      You could've said that in the first post instead of misleading people.

                                                      Any reasonable person looking at your thread title and opening post would conclude you were being approached by someone you didn't intimately know.

                                                      This site is just nutty at times.
                                                      I agree. I don't understand why people start misleading threads all the time. For the attention?

                                                        79% of players talk are attention hungry people.

                                                        You can normally see straight through their bullshit.
