Poker

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Anyone else play?

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Yup, not as much as I used to, but yeah.

[bullmoose88]

Hardly ever.  Wish there were some games.

[Redalgo]

A long time ago I used to play five-card draw with my dad and grandma. These days I'm strongly inclined to never gamble, and when it comes to cards only play push and gin rummy.

[Dr. Cynic]

I miss the weekly games I used to have.

[dead0man]

I prefer games of skill like Spades and Hearts.

[Yelnoc]

I used to play texas hold'em on line all the time.  I was pretty good at one point, but it has been a while since I last played.

[AndrewTX]

Some would say too much

Played a lot with friends while in high school.  More recently I've played Texas Hold'em, which I'm good enough to survive into the final two or three players even in a big game, but my play kind of falls apart at that point.

You sound like a tight player. As n decreases you have to loosen up, especially with your hand selection.

[anvi]

Yeah, you're exactly right, bullmoose.  I'm aware of the problem too, just psychologically, for some reason, it's hard for me to change tacks at that point in the game.
