The last few years have allowed me to discover something I am very passionate about and so eager to learn more and play as much as I can. That thing is Texas Hold'Em Poker. I play mostly online as I am still learning the game and want to polish my game a bit but there is nothing like playing a game with people at the same table. I watch Texas Hold'Em whenever it is on TSN, The Score or Sportsnet and can watch the game for many hours.
Like any other game, you win the game with a combination of luck and skill. My favorite player is by far Gus "The Great Dane" Hansen. The guy is just amazing to watch and is entertaining as hell as well. He loves to engage in banter at the table which is almost as entertaining as watching him play.
The thing I love about watching Gus play is that he is not afraid to stay in hands and bet even if he does not have the best hand. He will try his luck and see if he can make something happen with any hand. It makes the game exciting and very unpredictable.
The other players I love to watch is Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, the drop dead gorgeous Jennifer Tilley, Canadian born Daniel Negreneau, "The Unabomber" Phil Laak and even though he is a "poker brat" Phil Hellmuth. My dream table is having these players all together as you know you will get some great playing and some great banter at the table.
Maybe one day I can participate in a game at the bowling alley, once I get good enough that is, but right now I am content to play online. I will continue to learn by playing as many hands as I can, while playing as as many different variety of hands as well.
