Jim C asked:


What do people generally link poker players with?
I am doing a university study on gambling(specifically poker) so anyone’s replies are appreciated. It seems to me that many people aren’t very enthusiastic about the notion of people playing poker for a living.

What do females and/or working males think about poker in general? Would you be weary of dating or befriending someone who plays poker? is it seen as ’sleazy’ or in a negative light by alot of people?
what do you friends think?
thanks a lot for your input.

What kind of poker psychology do you use at the table?

JudasHero asked:

I’ve heard people say they like to act friendly and courteous to everyone at the table so that a) people will assume they are chumps and try to take advantage of them and b) people will be less inclined to try to bust them from the table. I’ve also heard people take the “poker brat” approach and try to antagonize other players at the table so that they WILL try to take shots at them. What’s your approach?

VN asked:


I’m going to attend a friendly poker game with a new group of guys from church, about 5 of us. I think they all have played poker with real money before, but not with this group. The organizer mentioned that money should be brought to the game. I was kinda suprised, thinking that this would be just for fun. I’ve played poker before, but no money was involved, but i have played black jack before with money. But then again, it wouldn’t be any fun without playing for money. So, how much $ should I bring?
