HOLD 'EM
Back in the day, my buddies Bill and Danny would come to my house and we'd end up playing tong-its (A card game kinda like Gin Rummy) until the break of dawn. Since Bill left for the States and Danny got stationed in Laguna, my forays into gambling have been limited to the occassional pusoy-dos with my brother and his friends.
Then came Celebrity Poker Showdown.
It's a show that airs on RPN9 and Sports Plus here in Manila that pits celebrities against each other in a game of Texas Hold 'em Poker. The basic rules of poker apply except each player gets only two cards. The dealer then puts five cards down on the table and players can form winning poker hands based on the cards in their hand along with the cards on the table.
I make it a point to watch it every week and I even resurrected my Vegas Games for PS1 and played it there. Now, I'm hankering for the real thing. I'm putting out a call for possible players to join me for a good old fashioned night of poker.
Oh, and I'm also looking for a set of Poker chips. If someone could lend them to me, I'd be much obliged. I'd even be glad to purchase them from you. That's how bad I want to play.
Cats wanna play! Cats wanna play!
And maybe we can buy jointly poker chips para we won't problems in borrowing everytime we play.

I'm sure the boys will be interested. Top of my bare head... TC, Rhoch, Bob, Philip. Though yun nga lang, two of these guys are normally abroad.
Btw, I saw this really great chips case in Automatic in Metrowalk.

I wanna join! If you want to practice try www.888.info. That's an oline gaming site (fake money!!!) where I usually play.
By the way... we have a poker set (bought in the states when I went there complete with chips, cards, and a felt cover for the table). My brother, cousins, even my dad, and I would play sometimes during the weekends. Never real money pa kasi no money kami eh.
