yeah I have noticed the samething with my friends back east. they play every weekend.

In fact about a month or two ago my buddy from seattle got a royal flush at texas holdem, got him about 4 grand for that.

I need to go down to binions here and start playing. Althoguh I always forget what beats what.

fun game though.

I consider myself an above average Hold'Em player- it's
a really fun game- Can be very frustrating if you're not
a patient player. If you're serious about playing though
stay away from the games that are below the 4-8 limit.
Otherwise there really isnt any skill involved. People will just
call you down the whole way and it's not very fun.
I usually play the 10-20 games.
