At what point are you just a gambler?

[omahilo]

I dont consider it gambling either but every once in a while you need new action.

Thats how I got started with O8... got sick of being dealt 2 cards, same boring routine and needed some new action. So tried out O8, learned and have played it well.

Then I tried out Stud8 for the same reason, instead of community game we all play our own hands. Also the split pot aspect is exciting. Stud8 is always fun when you have the lo part won and freerolling someone for the high part.

Its all about ACTION... we all thrive for action or we wouldnt be playing poker in the first place. Why do you think the pro poker players do prop bets and such?

like Ted Forrest betting $10,000 he can drink 10 beers in 30 mins or Ted losing 1mill once playing craps.

or TJ's addiction to craps or Robert Williamson's "dabbling" in sportsbooks.

ACTION people ACTION!
