I need a poker icon. Somebody find me a good one and I'll be your friend forever.

Feb 20, 2004 12:39

For the last couple of weeks, I've been one of maybe a thousand players beta-testing PokerRoom.com's new no-limit tournament software.

Well.

( extremely long, incredibly boring stuff from the last couple of weeks -- do not even bother to click here unless you play hold em. Bottom line, I got lots of practice, qualified for a huge freeroll tourney on Sunday, and parlayed my PokerRoom fake money into about $80 of real money by beating up on some poor suckers, then lost most of it in a high stakes tournament because I played poorly against some good players. The end. )

I emailed you a poker icon.

Don't feel too bad about posting about poker. I mean, at least normal people play poker. I obsessively write about RPG games.

WTF is that, an elephant penis? wrapper February 20 2004, 10:07:32 UTC

Oh wait, wrong e-mail, sorry! *blush*

Ahem... and I'm one of those weirdos who actually reads some of your RPG posts. Brings back memories of high school and AD&D.... *sigh*

You are my Hold 'em hero!

Thanks. :-) Do you realize, I've been playing this game for less than a year?

Re: petermarcus February 20 2004, 10:18:07 UTC

I've been playing for a couple months, and I've won a couple play-money tourneys, but not the money ones yet. I don't do too badly on the $1/2 tables, though.

See, my style of play fits better with a tournament structure -- I don't play enough hands to win at the "ring" games. In a tournament, as the blinds go higher and play gets tighter, my game fits perfectly.

Which site do you use again? Was it Poker Stars?

Thanks!

Re: wbahner February 20 2004, 11:45:33 UTC

I just don't think I could play with real money. :)

wrapper February 20 2004, 11:46:33 UTC

It took me a couple months to get to that point -- it's definitely a different game, believe me.

Did you find these somewhere online? Because this is sort of what I'm looking for, maybe something with chips in it as well, but if not that bottom one would be cool.

alachicky February 20 2004, 11:47:18 UTC

I just went to a poker site you know there are a ton on here then like the logo at the top I right clicked saved then modified to work with an icon :D

wrapper February 20 2004, 11:53:20 UTC

Coolness. Guess you're my friend forever now -- scary, eh?
