I'm finding the statistics and strategy very interesting. Anybody else play, RL or online?
Uh oh..I'm now hooked! Been watching coverage of the World Series of Poker on ESPN, and then also watching some poker on local cable channel 9, and THEN, watching Celebrity Poker on Bravo! In fact, I'm about to bring up my poker game now...I've just started playing on this site:

Popular Poker:

Fun stuff really. I don't have any particular strategy since I'm just starting. Plus, there is a lot of stuff to learn if you want to get serious about it. I'm just in it for fun. I'd be too chicken to try to play in RL or online for big money (although it's verrrry tempting!).
