Back in high school, I used to play a good amount for low cash in the back of class and my work's break room. It's a fun way to shoot the shit with chill peeps, but I'd never go for serious money or anything. I haven't played it much at all in the past few years, but that's mostly because I don't know anyone that does play IRL. There's an IRC bot for it, though.

As for types of poker, I gotta say Omaha hold 'em was always my favorite. Determing all possible better hand combinations is a lot easier with that format, so figuring out your own odds becomes a lot quicker to do in your head, at least imo.

I literally know nothing about Poker. A lot of my friends in high school played it and they often invited me, but I was never interested. I did notice that online Poker is very popular to make some money, so I might get into it one day.

I've been playing quite a bit since its not illegal here in the Philippines and i'm starting to improve quite a bit. Really enjoying it and have been grinding quite a few Multi table tournaments

I played online during the first two years of university. After losing my initial $50 deposit, I devoted some time to strategy before depositing another $50. I started out on SNGs before moving to 50NL with around $400 (lol bankroll management). Games were soft and I was a half-decent fish on a heater, so I ran it up to $7,000 and was splashing around in 200NL. I took a couple of shots at 400NL, but that went badly, and I gave more back when I moved down again in stakes.

I eventually cashed out $2,000 and never played online for real money again. That said, I've always maintained an interest in the game. We play an occasional tournament at work, which is just easy money.

Just bits for fun, just basic 3 card and 5 card draw and never like casino stuff. Never got into the whole Texas hold'em thing, still not sure how it's even played honestly. More classic poker is enough for me.

I've played some Hold 'Em with friends and family over the years, instead of paying attention in my last year of HS math I played cards and pocketed a few hundred bucks by the end of the year. I feel like there are probably generally strategies I'm unaware of and I'm definitely not familiar with percentages but I feel I could learn the game fairly well.

I started playing when I was like 7 or so and played till I was 20 on a weekly basis. Got board with it and no longer play that much. Maybe once in a while online if I have the itch for it.
