Believe it or not there is somthing worse! X-box has online tournaments that allow you to talk to the other players! Lots of trash talk. Some guys I work with around the country get together and play. Whoever looses has to mail the winner checks. Its great fun but not good for the marrage.

A little off topic but did you see the new ESPN series called Tilt ? Pretty good show about Las Vegas gamblers in the likes of Play Makers that they had out a while back.

I also saw a good historical show the other day on the history of poker and some Texas gamblers that created the game (Texas Hold-Em) in I think the 50's. The show was on A&E or the History channel - keep your eyes open for since they regularly repeat them.

For God's sake Randy, do not tell my son's about the site! They are both Texas Holdem addicts! Especially Ashton, and he is really good too.

We have gotten a bunch of friends together every once in a while to play. Usually at my house. We do food and have a few beers. No big $$. I dont think anyone walks away losing more than $25. That keeps it friendly. It is a lot of fun. We do a buy in for $10-$20, then mete out about $50,000 per person in chips so we all feel like high rollers.... I suck, but it's enjoyable. :)
