Three of the people running house games quit. It is a pain in the ass to have poker players over to your house. I miss the poker but I miss more having a place to go where I know there will be a lively humorous discussion. The stock market gives me action but I am lonely for the people who play poker.Those are my only ways to gamble They are an interesting and fun group, better to be around than the Square Johns.
You can play Texas hold 'em legally in several states that touch Texas but not Texas.
