>>> You must learn poker. The ONLY game in the house with NO house edge.
>>>You are playing against other people not the casino.

>>The movie Rounders with Matt Damon is a good example of the danger in playing poker with others since their are professional poker players ready to take your money at an open table. I will talk to Daryl Moore and see if he is interested in hosting another poker party like before. I came out ahead last time, so I'm prepared to lose next time. :) Last time we played poker at Daryl's we had the movie Rounders on his big screen in the background.

>I remember reading somewhere, I think an add for a poker book... that poker is the one game you have a good chance at winning in Vegas. The reason, 95% of the people there are tourists that don't know what they are doing. Yes, you could get at a table with someone else good/pro, but you can always leave.

BOb,

I read a book like that and it was very helpful. Don't know if it was the same one though.

Anyway, I know that after reading it, my "take" at games with friends was always higher than it was before.
