HA! That's awesome, Vegan. I bet some of these characters are quite common among poker games around the world.

Right. There are many reasons to get involved in poker; money, beating the odds, the thrill of a big hand, but it's the people that have kept me hooked on this game for so many years. There's no where that you'll meet a more colorful cast of characters than you will sitting around a poker table. At least not in my experience.

Must agree with you. I just love the overall atmosphere of live games. Everything from the gambling aspect, to the food, to the old guys who don't give a rats ass about being nice to anyone.
