I play a lot of Texas Hold’em poker at the Commerce and the Bike, but it’s all been Limit Hold’em — I’ve been a little intimidated by the No Limit game and too afraid to try it. I play a lot of No Limit online, but not for real money, it’s just for practice, and I’ve played in several live tournaments, but again it’s not for real money, it’s for tournament chips. In that No Limit game, you’re playing for real money and you can lose it all on one hand. Scary.

Tonight, I played No Limit Hold’em for the first time at the Bike. I bought in for $100. I cashed out with $475. I owned that table.

Shweet.
